Based on the words that we have, what will be out topic? **Lesson Proper:** ***What is culture?*** Culture is a system of learned and shared beliefs, language, norms, values, and symbols that groups use to identify themselves and provide a framework within which to live and work. Kultura ay ang kabuuan ng mga kaugalian, paniniwala, gawi, at tradisyon ng isang grupo ng mga tao. Ito ang nagbibigay-daan sa isang lipunan na magkaroon ng pagkakaisa at kahulugan Sa pamamagitan ng kultura, naipapasa at naipapamana ng mga naunang henerasyon ang kanilang mga kaalaman, kasanayan, at kahalagahan sa mga susunod na henerasyon. *Factors of Culture:* **Daily Life**: Culture is how people live every day. For example, what they eat for breakfast, the language they speak at home, and the way they greet each other. **Traditions and Celebrations:** Culture includes special traditions and celebrations, like holidays and festivals. For instance, in the Philippines, Christmas is celebrated with unique traditions like the Simbang Gabi (night masses) and Noche Buena (a big feast on Christmas Eve). **Arts and Music**: Culture is also shown through the arts, like traditional dances, songs, and crafts. For example, the Tinikling is a popular Filipino folk dance that is part of the country's culture. **Beliefs and Values**: Culture includes what people believe in and what they think is important, such as respecting elders, which is a strong value in Filipino culture. **Clothing and Fashion**: The traditional clothes people wear, like the Barong Tagalog or Filipiniana dress in the Philippines, are also part of their culture. *Example to Make it More Understandable:* Imagine a big family with its own way of doing things. This family speaks a certain language, cooks certain dishes, celebrates certain holidays, and believes in certain ideas. Now, think of a whole country like the Philippines as a big family with millions of people who share similar ways of doing things---this is their culture. **What is pop culture?** Pop culture, or popular culture, is made up of the ideas, entertainment, and trends that are popular and enjoyed by many people right now. It includes things like the latest music, movies, TV shows, fashion, and even the way people talk or use social media. Pop culture changes quickly because it's all about what's trending and what people find cool at the moment. *Factors of Pop Culture:* *[Current Trends]*: Pop culture is what's "in" right now. It's the songs everyone is singing, the movies everyone is watching, or the challenges everyone is doing on TikTok. *[Social Media Influence]*: Much of pop culture today comes from social media, where people share viral videos, memes, and new slang. For example, when a dance challenge becomes popular on TikTok, it becomes part of pop culture. *[Celebrities and Influencers]*: Pop culture is often shaped by what celebrities, influencers, or famous people are doing. If a famous actor wears a certain style of clothing, it might become a trend and part of pop culture. [*Accessible to Everyone*:] Unlike traditional culture, which might be passed down over generations, pop culture is something everyone can participate in, regardless of age or background, because it's widely shared and easy to access. *Example to Make it More Understandable:* Think of the song \"Pantropiko\" or "Salamin" by Bini. Today, everyone is singing it, dancing to it, and even making videos of themselves doing the dance. This song and dance became a big part of Filipino pop culture because so many people enjoyed it and took part in the trend. **WEEK 2: Philippine Population** **Pre-Activity:** **What is Mass Culture?** Mass culture is the shared entertainment and ideas that are created for and enjoyed by a large group of people. It includes things like popular TV shows, movies, music, and advertisements that are designed to reach as many people as possible. Mass culture is often spread through mass media, such as television, radio, and the internet, and it tends to be similar across different places because it's meant to be easily understood and liked by a wide audience. *Factors of Mass Culture:* [Common Entertainment]: Mass culture is what almost everyone is watching, listening to, or talking about because it's created for a large audience. For example, a TV show that millions of people watch every week is part of mass culture. [Mass Media Influence:] Mass culture spreads through media like TV, radio, and the internet, reaching a huge number of people at the same time. When a new movie is released in theaters across the world, and everyone can watch it, that's mass culture. [Uniformity:] Mass culture is often the same everywhere because it's made to appeal to a broad audience. The same advertisements, TV shows, or music might be seen or heard by people in different countries. *Example to Make it More Understandable:* Think of a popular fast-food chain like Jollibee. The commercials, jingles, and promotions they create are seen and heard by millions of people across the Philippines. This shared experience of seeing the same ads and eating at the same places is part of mass culture because it's something that connects many people in the same way. What is Folk Culture? **Folk culture** is the traditional way of life of a small, local community.\*\* It includes things like old songs, dances, stories, crafts, and customs that have been passed down from generation to generation within a group of people. Unlike modern or popular culture, folk culture is often specific to a particular place or group and is closely connected to their history and environment. *Factors of Folk Culture:* 1\. \*\**[Traditions and Customs]*:\*\* Folk culture is made up of the traditional practices and rituals that people in a small community have followed for many years. These traditions are often connected to their daily lives and the natural environment around them. 2\. \*\**[Oral Stories and Songs]*:\*\* Many parts of folk culture are passed down through storytelling, folk songs, and dances. These are not written down but remembered and shared from one generation to the next. 3\. \*\**[Handmade Crafts:\*\*]* Folk culture includes things like handmade crafts, such as weaving, pottery, or carving, which reflect the skills and creativity of the people in a community. 4\. \*\**[Local Festivals:\*\*]* Folk culture is often celebrated in local festivals or events that highlight the unique traditions and practices of a community. **Example to Make it More Understandable:** \*\*Imagine a small town where people still celebrate old traditions, like a harvest festival.\*\* During the festival, they perform traditional dances, sing folk songs, and make crafts by hand, just like their ancestors did. These activities are part of their folk culture because they have been passed down for many years and are unique to their community. \*\*Another Example:\*\* In the Philippines, the \*\*Kadayawan Festival\*\* in Davao City is an example of folk culture. It celebrates the bountiful harvest and the rich traditions of the indigenous people in the area, with traditional dances, music, and rituals that have been part of their culture for generations. **Difference between culture, pop culture, mass culture and Folk culture?** - Culture is the overall way of life and traditions of a group of people, passed down over time. - Pop Culture is about what's trendy and popular right now, often changing quickly and driven by media and social trends. - Mass Culture is entertainment and ideas that are made to reach a large number of people, usually through mass media, and are designed to be widely accepted. - Folk Culture is the traditional practices and customs of a small, local community, often passed down through generations and specific to a particular place **Post- Activity:** Research and Preparation (15 minutes): Each group discusses their assigned culture and researches or brainstorms examples they can present. Encourage groups to think of creative ways to present their culture---through a short skit, drawing, song, or role-play. For example: [Culture Group:] Could showcase a traditional Filipino fiesta. [Pop Culture Group]: Could perform a popular TikTok dance. [Mass Culture Group:] Could reenact a scene from a popular TV show. [Folk Culture Group:] Could demonstrate a traditional folk dance or song. **Assignment:** Study in advance the remaining culture: [Indigenous Culture ] [Cultural preservation ] [Fusion and diffusion of cultures ] [Exile Culture ] [Diaspora Culture ]
