ROLE AND FUNCTIONS OF CULTURE IN MORAL

BEHAVIOR?
As the days past culture became the foundation of
our present times and the next generations wherein
the society provide the Moral Codes.

These Moral Codes are sets of rules or guidelines

that a person or group follows in order to live a just
and good life. It dictates many aspects of our lives,
from how we act with different age groups, to how
we dress, and even how we treat other people.

Following these standards might impact the

atmosphere of a certain group of people. In some
situation, we as the character in a certain events
must look on how Culture change its appearance,
considering the fact that culture appear or vary from
one location to another. This phenomena called
Cultural Relativism.
LET’S CONNECT AND DIGEST

This is the ability to understand a culture on it’s own

terms and its own terms and not to make judgements
using the standards of one’s own culture.

Example:
• Respect (Tagalog-Po at Opo and Ilocano Wen
tatang Wen Nanang).
• Budol Fight
• Eating nganga

The goal of this is to promote understanding of

cultural practices that are not typically part of one’s
own culture.
