HUMAN VARIATION

UNDERSTANDING CULTURE, SOCIETY AND POLITICS


OBJECTIVES:

1. Articulate observations on human cultural


variation, social differences, social change, and
political identities.
2. Demonstrate curiosity and an openness to
explore the origins and dynamics of culture,
society, and political identity.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

• Environment and history are two of the


primary factors that shape the behavior of
human groups.
NATIONALITY AND ETHNICITY

• Nationality is the identity that is tied to being


part of a nation or country—a “group of people
who share the same history, traditions, and
language” and who inhabits a particular territory
delineated by a political border and administered
by a government.
NATIONALITY AND ETHNICITY

• Within a nation are smaller cultural groups


that share specific social environments,
traditions, and histories that may not be
necessarily subscribed to by mainstream
society.These are called ethnic groups.
GENDER and SEX

• Sex refers to the biological characteristic of


humans such as male or female.
• Intersex – people born with female and
male genitals
GENDER and SEX

• Gender refers to the socially constructed


roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes that
a given society considers appropriate for
men and women.
HETEROSEXUAL and HOMOSEXUAL

• Heterosexual is a person inclined to be


sexually attracted to a person of the
opposite sex.
• When a person is sexually attracted to a
person of the same sex, he or she is a
homosexual.
GAY and LESBIAN

• A male who is romantically and sexually


attracted to another male is called gay in
popular culture, and a female who is
romantically and sexually attracted to
another female is considered a lesbian.
BISEXUAL and ASEXUAL

• There are some individuals who are


attracted to both sexes, which make them
bisexual, and there are some who are
totally incapable of being attracted to any
sex, thus making them asexual.
POLYSEXUAL and PANSEXUAL

• Individuals who are attracted to multiple


types of gender identify with the polysexual
orientation, which is different from
pansexual, who accommodate all types of
gender.
GENDER IDENTITY

• Gender identity is an individual's internal


concept of self that may be related to being
masculine, feminine, neither, or both, without
strict relation to the physical characteristics
that the person has. So a person could be
physically male but have a female gender
identity.
GENDER IDENTITY

• Cisgender – people whose gender identity


aligns with the sex they were assigned at
birth
• Transgender woman – labeled as male at
birth but has the gender identity of a female
GENDER IDENTITY

• Transgender man – assigned female sex at


birth but identifies as male
• Non-binary – does not identify as
exclusively male or female. They may identify
as both, neither, or some combination of the
two
GENDER EXPRESSION

• Gender expression is how an individual


chooses to present himself or herself in society.
This can be observed in the choices on
pronouns that they use to refer to themselves,
the clothes that they wear, and the general
behavior they display to signify their gender
identity.
GENDER EXPRESSION

• Masculine – having qualities or an


appearance associated with men or boys
• Feminine - having qualities or an
appearance associated with women or girls
GENDER EXPRESSION

• Androgynous – mixes masculinity and


femininity; having the characteristics or
nature of both male and female
SOCIOECONOMIC CLASS

• Their standing within society based on their


level of income, education, and occupation.
Social status in the Philippines ranges from
low to high and often reveals inequalities in
terms of power, influence, and access to
resources.
