    What is culture?
    CULTURE DEFINITION

    Culture is that complex


    whole which includes
    knowledge, beliefs, art,
    morals, customs, habits
    acquired by man as a
    member of society.

    What are the key


    characteristics of culture?
    THINK

    Can you recall instances


    where people from other
    countries have perceived
    our cultural practices as
    unusual or inappropriate?
    THINK

    Let's take a moment to


    think about some unique
    practices and beliefs that
    are deeply rooted in our
    culture.
    THINK

    Can you recall instances where people from


    other countries have perceived our cultural
    practices as unusual or inappropriate?
    THINK

    How do you feel when people from other


    cultures react negatively to Filipino practices
    like eating balut, using our hands to eat, or
    following 'Filipino time'?
    PROCESSING QUESTION

    Is it reasonable to argue that


    one culture is inherently
    better than another?
    TRANSITION
    Before we explore whether it's justifiable to
    argue that one culture is fundamentally better
    than another, it's important to understand the
    underlying concept that often drives this belief.
    This idea is rooted in something called
    ethnocentrism.
    TRANSITION

    Let’s delve into what ethnocentrism


    means and how it influences our
    perspectives on different cultures.
    ETHNOCENT
    RISM
    Ethnocentrism is the idea that
    our beliefs and behaviors are
    right, while those of other
    peoples are wrong or misguided.
    If we condemn or reject the
    beliefs or behaviors of others,
    we may be committing the
    ethnocentric fallacy.

    ETHNOCENTRISM:
    PROCESSING QUESTION

    1. How does ethnocentrism affect our


    ability to appreciate and understand
    cultural practices that are different
    from our own?
    ETHNOCENTRISM:
    PROCESSING QUESTION

    ETHNOCENTRISM, WHICH IS THE TENDENCY


    TO VIEW ONE'S OWN CULTURE AS SUPERIOR
    TO OTHERS, CAN SIGNIFICANTLY HINDER OUR
    ABILITY TO APPRECIATE AND UNDERSTAND
    CULTURAL PRACTICES THAT DIFFER FROM
    OUR OWN.
    ETHNOCENTRISM:
    PROCESSING QUESTION

    1.5 Can you think of a time when you


    or someone you know judged another
    culture based on our own cultural
    standards?
    How did that situation unfold?

    PROCESSING QUESTION

    2. Can you give examples from history


    or current events?

    PROCESSING QUESTION

    3. What are some potential dangers of


    viewing our culture as the 'standard'
    or 'correct' way of living?
    ETHNOCENTRISM:
    PROCESSING QUESTION

    2. One prominent example of ethnocentrism in


    history is the European colonization of Africa
    during the 19th and early 20th centuries, often
    referred to as the "Scramble for Africa.
    ETHNOCENTRISM:
    PROCESSING QUESTION

    4. Have you ever encountered


    ethnocentrism in your own life or
    community? Share your experiences
    and reflect on the lessons learned?
    TRANSITION
    Thinking about the potential dangers of
    ethnocentrism, let's explore this concept
    more deeply. We're going to do an activity
    that will help us uncover the real-world
    consequences of ethnocentric thinking.

    Ethnocentrism

    their culture is better

    While we've focused
    on the negative
    impacts of
    ethnocentrism, it's
    important to
    acknowledge positive
    aspects as well.
    It has the power to unify
    us.
    By sharing common beliefs
    and traditions, people within a
    culture can develop a strong
    sense of belonging and
    solidarity. This unity can be a
    source of pride and strength

    ETHNOCENTRISM:
    PROCESSING QUESTION

    5. What steps can we take to


    become more aware of our own
    ethnocentric biases?
    TRANSITION
    While ethnocentrism can have significant
    negative effects, it's important to recognize that
    it can also bring about a positive outcome: unity
    within a cultural group. This sense of unity can
    strengthen community bonds and cultural
    identity. However, this leads us to a critical
    question:

    EXIT TICKET

    What do you think has a greater


    impact—ethnocentrism's ability to
    unify or its potential to divide?"
