    DEFINING CULTURE
    We often hear the word “culture” as something that is always associated with traditions and
    indigenous practices. Culture, however, is more than just what is native. Culture is everywhere.
    Culture is present whether you live in rural or urban areas. Culture can be seen in your daily
    activities. Culture is deeply ingrained within our society. In this module, you will learn about the
    definition, elements, characteristics, and hierarchy of culture.

    Learning Objectives:
    A. define terms related to culture;
    B. describe culture as a complex whole;
    C. identify elements of culture; and
    D. become aware of why and how cultural relativism mitigates ethnocentrism.

    WHAT IS CULTURE?

    Culture is a way of life. It is a composite or multifarious areas that comprise beliefs, practices,
    values, attitudes, laws, norms, artefacts, symbols, knowledge, and everything that a person
    learns and share as a member of society. Culture serves as a foundation of human’s continuing
    interaction with his surroundings. Culture makes it possible for a human to adapt and integrate
    themselves to their environment by being creative and resourceful in coming up with way and
    means of survival.

    TYPES OF CULTURE

    Culture comes in different shapes, forms, and manifestations. It can be a physical entity or
    something that exists as an idea.

    Material Culture Nonmaterial Culture


    Physical objects or artifacts Intangible things or ideas

    A. MATERIAL CULTURE

    Composed of tangible things; reflects a society’s values and a society’s technology, the
    knowledge that people apply to the task of living in their surroundings. Material culture usually
    comes in the form of technology and art.

    It is the practical application of knowledge in converting raw materials into finished


    products. It refers to tools; in its broadest sense, it includes the skills or procedures to
    make and use those tools.

    Example: clothing, buildings, equipment, etc.

    It is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a


    visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for
    their beauty or emotional power

    Example: literature, drawing, music, drama
