Editor's Notes
- We now live in an era where changes happens in a blink of an eye. So, we must be equipped with an understanding of the changes that takes place on the things around us like in our culture, norms or laws. We need to know what causes these changes so that we can be aware on how to fit it and the roles that we should play as member of the society. Sabi nga nila, changes are inevitable, and nothing is permanent in this world. It is changing, the society is changing, our culture is changing, and we too should adapt.
- This lesson provides various activities and discussions for you to articulate the nature of anthropology, its goals and perspectives.
- Anthropology is defined as the study of humanity. It is derived from the two Greek words “Anthropos” which means man and “logos” means study. Every individual differs in various ways. So, putting your lens closer to these differences reveal how individuals are alike in terms of their physical features, routines and interaction with each other. The differences and similarities by which individuals live, act and interact is a manifestation of the numerous aspects of human existence. One of these aspects is man’s unique social behavior tied to their cultural backgrounds. Culture is the invisible bond which ties people coming from the same society together. It affects our judgment skills, perceptions, attitudes and even our emotions. It has a direct impact on our behavior. Thus, the culture we have shapes our values and belief systems which influences our personalities. Furthermore, our culture gives us our identity and sense of belongingness to our community. It is for this reason that understanding culture is important and this is the focus of one field in social sciences called cultural anthropology.
- –the study of human biological variation in time and space including genetics, growth, development and primatology. For example, biological anthropologists often look at the biology of human remains, including past diets and the prevalence of ancient diseases. Fossils, bones, and other remains provide enormous clues regarding the lives of ancient peoples and how they interacted with their environments. Cultural anthropology -the study of human society and culture which describes, analyzes, interprets and explains social and cultural similarities and differences. Its sub-categories are: (a) archeological anthropology which is the study of human behavior and cultural patterns and processes through culture’s material remains; and (b) linguistic anthropology, which is the descriptive, comparative and historical study of language and of linguistic similarities and differences in time, space and society. Applied Anthropology – the use of anthropological knowledge in solving contemporary problems through the application of theories and approaches of the discipline.

It is any kind of anthropological research that is done to solve practical problems. This means that there are stakeholders and clients who stand to gain or lose from the project.
- These sub-disciplines of anthropology show that it takes a broad approach to holistically understand the various aspect of human experience. To understand and study humanity, anthropologists compare one society to the other society. It also noteworthy that it is important to study anthropology because of the following reasons: Furthermore, in studying humans, anthropologists also consider not just the present time but also the past through archeology in order to see how humans lived thousand years ago. They also examine what makes up our biological system as well as our bones, genes and health. Their curiosity in exploring the uniqueness of man from other species led them to compare humans to other animals such as chimpanzees and other primates to see what we have in common with these animals and what makes us unique from them. Talking about commonality, every person in the same society is bonded by the same culture. Let’s dig in more about
- The phrase “complex whole” has been the most durable feature of his definition.
- Since culture is a design or a roadmap that guides the behavior of members in a society, it has the following characteristics:
- It is what a person has, does and think as part of society. This covers all of a person’s belief systems, set of behaviors, and material possessions. Material Culture – includes all tangible and visible parts of culture like clothes, food, and even buildings. -Objects are important in the study of human history because they provide a concrete basis for the prevailing ideas of the times and can be used to validate the existing realities. o Non-Material Culture – includes all intangible parts of culture, which consists of values, norms, laws, sanctions and knowledge among others.
- This implies that a particular behavior cannot be considered as part of culture if there is only one person practicing it. Culture is shared is intra and inter-generational.
- Culture is a set of beliefs, attitudes and practices that an individual learns through his or her family, school, church, and other social institutions. Diffusion – is the spread of culture from one society to another.
- Humans are born into cultures that have values on beauty and body. As such, they alter their bodies to fit physiological norms that are dictated by their culture.
- Culture is a tool for survival that humans use in response to the pressures of their environment. Customs and traditions. ... Sports and games. ... Food and meals. ... Dates. ... Traditions and celebrations Enculturation is the process whereby individuals learn their group's culture through experience, observation, and instruction. To learn is to develop the knowledge and skills needed to participate in the communal, cultural practices and to become a fully functioning member of the community. The definition of acculturation is the transfer of values and customs from one group to another. Japanese people dressing in Western clothing is an example of acculturation.
- People when manifesting a set of cultural practices, fail to adapt to the environmental changes leads to mal-adaptation. Culture-shock Deculturation is when a cultural element is lost or destroyed, like the habit of planting a family garden with vegetables, figs, and grapevines that did not survive through all generations of those descended from Italian Americans
- Culture is never static. This dynamism of culture is due to the changing needs of man as they interpret and survive in their environment.
