There are different ways of defining culture and society. Each definition is
always associated with man’s relationship to his environment. Hence, man’s social
interaction serves as an avenue for creating patterns of behaviour that will guide the
members of society to live in an organized and orderly manner.
Society refers to a group of people sharing a common culture within a defined
territorial boundaries. Likewise, every human society is organized in such a way that
there are rules of conduct, customs, traditions, folkways and mores, and expectations
that ensure appropriate behaviors among members. (Palispis, 2007 p. 254). Thus,
every society is unique in terms of culture.
Culture is a composite or multifarious areas that comprise beliefs, practices,
values, attitudes, laws, norms, artifacts, symbols, knowledge, and everything that a
person learns and shares as a member of society. Therefore, culture is:
1. A product of human interaction.
2. A social heritage that is complex and socially transmitted.
3. Provides socially acceptable patterns for meeting biological and social
needs.
4. A distinguishing factor.
5. Cumulative
6. Meaningful to human beings.

CULTURAL RELATIVISM
Have you ever seen or eaten food from another place, such as dried squid or
fried crickets and think of it as weird and gross? This is an example of ethnocentrism!
That means you use your own culture as the center and evaluate other cultures based
on it. You are judging, or making assumptions about the food of other countries based
on your own norms, values, or beliefs. Thinking “dried squid is smelly” or “people
shouldn’t eat insects” are examples of ethnocentrism in societies where people may
not eat dried squid or insects.
To avoid judging the cultural practices of groups that are different to yours, we
can use the cultural relativism approach. Cultural relativism refers to not judging a
culture to our own standards of what is right or wrong, strange or normal. Instead, we
should try to understand cultural practices of other groups in its own cultural context.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times
23
For example, instead of thinking, “Fried crickets are disgusting!” one should instead
ask, “Why do some cultures eat fried insects?”
Cultural relativism is the ability to understand a culture on its own terms and not
to make judgments using the standards of one’s own culture. The goal of this is
promote understanding of cultural practices that are not typically part of one’s own
culture. Using the perspective of cultural relativism leads to the view that no one culture
is superior than another culture when compared to systems of morality, law, politics,
and the like. For example, you are assessing one’s culture by its own standards rather
than viewing it through the lens of your own culture. On the other hand, ethnocentrism
is a perception that arises from the fact that cultures differ and each culture defines
reality differently. For example, you are judging another culture or person solely based
from your own values and standards. You think you are more superior that other.
Encouraging you to examine the diversity of other cultures and explore the
beliefs, values, and practices from the perspective of someone else can help you
understand the complex concept of cultural relativism.

The flag was made of silk. The sun represents liberty and its eight rays represent the
first eight provinces that revolted against Spain. The three stars stand for the three
big islands of the Philippines, namely Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. As for the
colours used, white represents hope for equality, while the blue stripe stands for
peace, truth, and justice. Finally, the red stripe symbolizes patriotism and valor.
However, when the two stripes are interchanged, this signals that the country is in a
state of war.
At the most basic level, economics attempts to explain our practices on how

A group refers to the people who have the chance to interact with others and
think of themselves as belonging together. The group exists as long as individuals are
interested to be connected among themselves. Each society is made up of smaller
groups and associations that are built on social class, personal interest, or community
goals.
Groups are prevalent in our social lives and provide a significant way to
understand and define ourselves—both through groups we feel a connection to and
those we do not. Groups also play an important role in society. As enduring social
units, they help foster shared value systems and are key to the structure of society as
we know it. There are four primary sociological perspectives for studying groups:
functionalist, critical, feminist, and symbolic interactionist. We can look at the Occupy
movement through the lenses of these methods to better understand the roles and
challenges that groups offer.
