Key Concepts
Cultural Variations and Social Differences
CULTURE the ways of thinking, the ways of acting, and the material objects that together form a people’s way of life. Culture includes what
we think, how we act, and what we own (Macionis, 2016).
Factors: Environment, history, traditions, language, climate and nationality.
Ethnocentrism is a perspective that promotes an individual culture as the most
efficient and superior.
Cultural relativism culture must be understood in the context of their locality.
Race is human traits and characteristics.
Categories:
1. Caucasoid 2. Australoid 3. Mongoloid 4. Negroid
Skin color, size of skull, body frame, and other physical characteristics.
Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that
a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn
biological characteristics.
Racial Slurs is a racist term used against another person.
Biological Egalitarianism promotes the equality out of biological makeup despite our ancestry.

SOCIAL DIFFERENCES
 GENDER refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for
men and women. Gender is a product of a society’s culture and adaptation to its environment. Differences in culture and
adaptation across societies entail different definitions of genders.
Gender Role is defined as culturally assigned tasks and activities to sexes.
SEX biological characteristics of human such as male or female.
Sex-Gender System tells us how gender and gender roles are a product of one’s biological sex.

traditions, and language’’ and who inhabits in a particular territory delineated by a political border and controlled by the government.

Ethnic Groups are collection of people while ethnicity refers directly to the collection of shared cultural characteristics. Tagalog,
Ilocano, Ifugao, Bontoc, Ibaloi Ikalahan, Isneg, Itneg, Kalinga, and Kankanaey and Kapampangan are all examples of ethnic groups.
