    Culture and Society

    Uploaded by

    Mary Jane Alforque
    Culture is created and shaped by society through the transmission of values from one generation to the next. As the basic social unit, the family plays a key role in cultural transmission. Property and political systems also contribute to the functioning of society by conferring or limiting power and serving as status indicators. In pre-colonial Philippines, the smallest community unit was the barangay, governed by a chief or datu. Barangays engaged in both alliance and warfare with neighboring groups.

    or far reaching ways to confer or to limit power
    and to serve as criterion for status.
    POLITICAL SYSTEM
    Political institutions clearly appear, however, in
    many tribal societies there is a chief who has the
    power to decide issues or to lead in the making
    of decisions. There may be council, there may
    be group to police the people.

    an act which in a modern society would be
    called crime.

    Philippines were set long before Western
    colonial powers began to arrive in the islands.
    • The tribal society dominated that Philippine
    culture prior to the arrival of the colonials,
    also contributed directly to the dominance of
    irregular warfare. where goals are the
    acculumulation of wealth, women, glory, and
    vengeance.

    barangay conducted battle led by the
    chief, often against neighbors. the
    battles were bloody, savage, brutal, and
    close.
