Ucsp q1 Mod2 Conceptsaspectsandchanges Relayout EDITED

This document discusses key concepts related to culture and society. It defines culture as a "complex whole" that encompasses beliefs, practices, traits, values, attitudes, laws, norms, artifacts, symbols, knowledge and other aspects that people learn and share as members of a society. It notes that culture cannot be simply broken down and must be understood as an interrelated system. A society cannot exist without culture, and people produce and transmit culture through social interaction. The document then outlines seven characteristics of culture: it is social, varies between societies, is shared, is learned, is transmitted between generations, is continuous and cumulative over time, and is gratifying and idealistic.

What is it

CULTURE and SOCIETY as a COMPLEX


WHOLE
Edward Tylor, one of the founders of modern anthropology,
characterize culture as a “complex whole” which encompasses
beliefs, practices, traits, values, attitudes, laws, norms,

artifacts, symbols, knowledge and of the society. Everything that


a person learns and shares as a member.

The “complex whole” above suggests that culture cannot be simply broken down
into a set of characteristics. It means that an understanding of a part can only
be achieved in relation to other parts of the system. This requires an approach
where all at once, one can get an appreciation of what culture is all about
without being bothered by its complexity or by any definition that
Attempts to capture such complexity. A society cannot exist apart from culture.
A society may refer to group of people that follows or shares same cultures.
People, as members of the society, possess, produce and also transmit culture
but they cannot consider themselves as culture. No culture can exist without
social interaction in society; meanwhile, society cannot exist in the absence of
people who have learned to live and work together.

CHARACTERISTICS of CULTURE

1. Culture is social because it is the product of behavior.


• Culture does not exist in isolation. It is a product
of society. It develops through social interaction.
No man can acquire culture without association
with others.

2. Culture varies from
society to society.
• Every society has a
culture of its own
that differs from Cultural elements like customs, traditions, morals,
other societies. The values, and beliefs are not constant.
culture of every
society is unique by
itself. Cultures are
not uniform.
3. Culture is shared.
• Culture is not something that an individual
alone can possess. Culture, in sociological
sense, is shared. For example, people of a
society share all customs, traditions, beliefs,
ideas, values, morals, etc.

4. Culture is learned

• Culture is not inborn. It is learned. Unlearned behavior then, is not culture.


Shaking hands, saying thanks, etc. are cultural behaviors. Not all behaviors
are learned, but most of these can be. Combing hair, standing in line, telling
jokes, criticizing the president, and going to movies all constitute behaviors
that need to be learned.

5. Culture is transmitted among members of society.
• Cultural ways are learned by people from others. Many of these ways are
handed down from elders, parents, teachers, and others (most likely
individuals of older generation), while other cultural behaviors are handed
up to elders. Transmission of culture is made possible by language.
Language is the main vehicle of culture. Transmission of culture may take
place also through imitation as well as through instruction.

6. Culture is continuous and cumulative.


• Culture exists as a continuous process. In its historical growth, it tends to
become cumulative. Ralph Linton called culture “the social heritage” of
man. No culture ever remains constant or permanent. It is subject to slow
but constant variation. Likewise, culture is responsive to the changing
conditions of the physical world; hence, it is dynamic.

7. Culture is gratifying and idealistic.


• Culture provides proper opportunities for the satisfaction of our needs and
desires. Our needs, both biological and social, are fulfilled in cultural ways.
Culture consists of the intellectual, artistic, and social ideals, and
institutions where members of the society profess and strive to confirm.
