According to Joseph Fichter,
sociology is the scientific study of
patterned, shared human behavior.
It analyzes the human interaction
which is essential in understanding
man’s cultural make-up.
It may focus its attention on all kinds
of social interactions: social arts,
social relationship, social
organization, social structures, and
social processes.
Palispis, 2009 p.3
This social interaction will provide
sociological information that will
help in understanding society
objectively through the use of
scientific investigation or
methodology.
The outcome of sociological investigations
are essential for leaders, businessmen or
entrepreneurs, and government officials in
maintaining social stability and creation of
program as well as policies for
development (i.e political, economical, and
social).
The study of sociology broadens the
experience of individuals as they learn to
discard prejudices and become more
understanding of the customs of other people
and realize that truth is relative and “good” or
“bad” behavior depends upon the norms of
conduct of the society in which behavior
takes place

common culture within a defined

Likewise, every human society is organized
in such way that there are rules of conduct,
customs, traditions, folkways and mores,
and expectations that ensure appropriate
behavior among members. (Palispis, 2007
p. 254). Thus, every society is unique in
terms of culture.

Indeed, social norms are very important in
understanding the nature of man’s social
relationship. In the social interaction
process, each member possesses certain
expectations about the responses and
reactions of another member (Palispis,
2007 . 44)

ASPECTS OF CULTURE
Dynamic, flexible, and adaptive
Shared and contested
Learned through socialization or enculturation
Patterned social interactions
Integrated and at times unstable
Transmitted through socialization
Requires language and other forms of communication
Ethnocentrism and
Cultural Relativism
As mentioned by Dean Champion and his
associates, “the range of variations between
culture is almost endless and yet at the same
time cultures ensemble one another in many
important ways.” Somehow, cultural variation
is affected by man’s geographical set-up and
social experiences.
Ethnocentrism and
Cultural Relativism
Cultural variations refers to the
differences in social behaviors that
different cultures exhibit around the
world. What may be considered good
etiquette in one culture may be
considered as bad etiquette in another.
