CONCEPT, ASPECTS AND CHANGES IN/OF CULTURE AND SOCIETY

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

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 behavior 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 boundary. 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 area 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.

Aspects of Culture

1. Dynamic, flexible and adaptive.

2. Shared and contested.
3. Learned through socialization or enculturation.
4. Patterned social interactions.
5. Integrated and at times unstable.
6. Transmitted through socialization.
7. Requires language and other forms of communication.

The Social and Cultural Change
Change is something that presses us out of our comfort zone. It is destiny-
filtered, heart grown, faith built. Change is inequitable; not a respecter of persons.
This is for the better or for the worst, depending on where you view it. Change
has an adjustment period which varies on the individual. It is uncomfortable, for
changing from one state to the next upsets our control over outcomes. Change has
a ripping effect on those who won’t let go.
Social change refers to an alteration in the social order of a society. This may
include changes in nature, social institutions, social behaviors, or social relations. An
example of this is the change from the traditional way of life to a more complex,
technologically advanced, and rapidly changing style of life in the region and in the
country in general. These changes are because of industrialization, urbanization and
technology brought by the different countries in the world.
Cultural change deals with the evolution of cultural components. This is a
modification of a society through innovation, invention, discovery, or contact with
other societies. In region 2 cultural changes are very evident because of innovations,
inventions and discoveries. An example of this is the used of reaper by the farmers
during harvest time.
