Rediscovering
Culture
Culture, according to social scientists,
are
set of values, beliefs and attitudes
that a person or group of individuals may
possess.
Humanistic scholars believed that culture
pertains to “complex whole” of ideas
and things the produced by men in their
existence.
Moreover, Encyclopedia Americana (1992)
describes cultures as the human
behavior and history.
Culture and Arts
Newhill and La Paglia (1977), they testified
that to most people, the concept of culture
describes refinement or sophistication. With
this, they claimed that a “cultured” person
possesses good manners, has ability to know on
what to do in all situations and appreciates art,
music and literature.
Fernandez (2016) in this manner attested that
culture is an accumulation of shared
knowledge, experiences, values, attitudes,
hierarchies, meanings, beliefs, notions of time
and space (spatial relationships), religion, roles
and concepts of the universe, and material
objects and possessions acquired by people in a
contagious space through generations.
Culture and
Newhill
culture
Society
and La Paglia (1977) contend that
and society are two distinct
conceptions and should not be confused. The
former denotes the way of living in which has the
society creates to satisfy its basic needs. On the
other hand, society comprises of individuals in
good interaction in the various tasks needed for
survival. More so, these individuals occupy a
definite area of land to which they purportedly
have a claim.
Human society cannot exist without
culture. Similarly, in this respect, societies
without culture may be deduced to animal
existence. For this reason, only human
societies make cultures. This entails that
culture and society are interwoven.
Key Concepts on
1. CultureCulture
is a total pattern.
The personality of a person, so
with his behavior, is affected by
culture. This becomes evident
in the ways on how a person
was raised. His common acts
of sleeping, eating, and even
expressing despair or showing
affection are influenced by

culture.
2. Culture has structure. Imagine a jigsaw
puzzle being put together, cultures are
formed with different components. A
Filipino tribal village may not exist if there
are no units such as families, political
entities, and economic groups. In another
note, civilization cannot exist without
hierarchies. These hierarchies are structures
that may pertain to politics such as a
barangay

is learned adapted. Culture
shapes and molds individuals. It is through
culture that man learns to adapt in his
present society and acts according to
the standard and norms of the
community he belongs to.
4. Culture is shared. The idea of culture
sharing is often manifested by people living in
specific geographic locations—they share the
same principles and practices. For instance in
language, Cebuano-Visayan roots in Cebu but
people in Cagayan de Oro share the same
language, but with variations due to other
nearby cultures that contribute to the
uniqueness of the dialect.
5. Culture is influential. The Spanish regime in
the Philippines lasted for more than 300 years.
During the occupation, Filipinos were stripped off
of their own culture and identity, by brute force.
This is why up to now, our ways of living may still
depict practices that show the influences of our
past.
6. Culture is transmitted. Culture can be
passed from one generation to the next.
In today’s age, most Filipinos, when it comes
to intimate relationships, still prefer to start
with proper courtship or “ligaw.” This part of
our culture were passed on to the present
times because it has been transmitted
through the values that our parents believe
and inculcate to us.
7. Culture is dynamic. Some practices
before may no longer be practiced now
because they are deemed obsolete or
peculiar in the modern times. Say, our way
of communicating now has changed over the
course of technological revolution.
8. Cultures are different. No two Cotabato’s
persons are alike given that we T’nalak
grow up in varied cultural
environments. Our lifestyle is greatly
influenced by what our culture
dictates, so as with our art products. A
good example would be our textiles
that vary from region to region, like
Cotabato’s T’nalak that were woven
based on the weaver’s dreams and
Marawi’s Landap that are brightly
colored textiles woven with gold
threads and beads to symbolize Marawi’s
Landap
royalty.
Elements of Culture
John W. Bennett (1992) of Washington
University has categorized the elements of
culture. And these are enumerated below.
1. Trait. This serves as the quality which makes
one person or thing different from another.
2. Complex. The situation involved and even
the materials used are forming part on how
this element exists.
3. Pattern. The existence of regular and
repeated way of doing things such as the
reliable sample of traits, acts, tendencies or
other observable characteristics of a person,
group or institution.
Elements of
Culture
4. Meanings. The derived idea represented by a word, phrase, or
even the idea expressed in a work of writing, art, and others. To
put it simply, the emotional symbol which may be found in the
minds of the people who respond to how things were presented.
An example of this is the meaning attached of any item of culture.
5. Functions. This is identified by the observer and not by the
culture bearers. This refers to the purpose of something. As in
the previous example, a cellular phone serves as to facilitate
communication in a mass society which is embedded with
technology and sense of time value.
6. Institutions. Groups of activities with specific need-satisfaction
and how they function. These can be the families and other group
of individuals. And most of the time, these are the social
institutions that cohabit in a given society like that of family; while
under political are community organizations, and government and
also economic category which comprises cooperative labor,
housing and private entities.
