12. Culture and Society as a Complex Whole
Edward Tylor, one of the founders of
modern anthropology, characterize culture as
a “complex whole” which encompasses
beliefs, practices, traits, values, attitudes,
laws, norms, artifacts, symbols, knowledge
and everything that a person learns and
shares as a member of the society.

13. The “complex whole” above suggests that culture
cannot be simply broken down into a set of
characteristics. It means that an understanding of
a part can only be achieved in relation to other
parts of the system. This requires an approach
where all at once, one can get an appreaciation of
what culture is all about without being bothered by
its complexity or by any definition that attemps to
capture such compexity.

14. A society cannot exist apart from culture. A
society may refer to group of people that
follows or shares same cultures. People, as
members of the society, possess, produce and
also transmit culture but they cannot
consider themselves as culture. No culture
can exist without social interaction in society;
meanwhile,society cannot exist in the
absence of people who have learned to live
and work together.

15. "No culture can exist without social interaction
in society"
•Culture consists of shared beliefs, values,
customs, language, and behaviors.
•These cultural elements are created,
maintained, and passed on through
interactions between people.
•Without people communicating, cooperating,
teaching, and learning from each other,
culture cannot develop or survive. Social
interaction is the medium through which
culture lives.

16. "Society cannot exist in the absence of people
who have learned to live and work together."
• Society is a group of individuals connected
by organized relationships, rules, and
institutions.
• For a society to function, people must
cooperate, follow shared norms, and work
collectively.
• Learning to live and work together is
essential to build social order, prevent chaos,
and achieve common goals.

17. In summary:
• Culture depends on social interactions among
people, and society depends on people learning to
cooperate and live together. Both are deeply
interconnected and cannot exist independently.
• So, culture needs people to interact, and society
needs people to learn how to live and work
together. They both depend on each other.

18. Characteristics of Culture
1. Social
Culture exists only because people interact
with each other. It is created and
maintained through social relationships.
2. Varies from society to society
Each society has its own unique culture
with distinct customs, beliefs, and
practices that reflect their history and
environment.

19. 3. Shared
Culture is not individual; it is shared by
members of a group or society, giving them a
common identity and way of life.
4. Learned
Culture is not inherited biologically; people
acquire it by observing, imitating, and being
taught by others in their community.

20. 5. Transmitted
Culture is passed down from one generation
to the next through language, education,
stories, rituals, and traditions.
6. Continuous and cumulative
Culture develops gradually over time,
building on past knowledge and experiences
to evolve and grow richer.

21. 7. Gratifying
Culture provides people with satisfaction by
fulfilling their needs for belonging, identity,
security, and enjoyment.
8. Idealistic
Culture includes ideals, values, and norms
that guide how people think, behave, and
judge what is right or wrong.

support each other.
2. Hospitality: Filipinos are known for warmly
