  1. * Through the use of language, wide vistas of reality have been opened. What we have observed and experienced, as well as our norms, values and ideas exist because we have learned to identify or experience these things through language.
    -- This characteristic means that without language we cannot do anything. Language is a powerful tool in our day by day living and journey. We use language to communicate and socialize to other individuals. We have different culture but we can live harmoniously through the help of language. Nothing will exist in this world without language.

  2. "Culture is learned .

    it is the first essential characteristics of culture.Culture is always learned. We learn it to our peers, media, school, church, and other countries. Example,we our a Filipino, then we went to America and we stay there for many years. Staying long in America we can learn their culture and their languages or their behavioral characteristics.

    Culture is learned, we didn't inherit it to our ancestors, but we learn it based on our experiences.

  3. Culture is learned according to what I read this kind of process is not just sellecting a new learnings to be learned but rather than to know what we live in our homes, environment and to the society, we furtherly know that human is a discoverer and a learner because when the time passes generation to generaton the learnings, ideas, thoughts, and knowledge was transferable. It seems that the improvement or development of such a culture is based on how the people is discover it freely and was learn to the babies and when the children growing up he/she transferred to their children that is why the culture is cumulative according what I read because the progress of influence is highly a cultural growth and also dominated to the improvements such discoverers made and when it passes to another generation again it will manifest of what the learners know and the old culture suddenly will past away because of the systems that was socially implemented by the Government, and also what good effect of the society and people will live it out, we will no longer be shock to the improvements made by the peoples influenced to new generations because they said life is full of problem just repeating all over again

  4. Culture is learned through many ways. It can be learned from person’s ideas, values and others are from their experiences. We know that culture can be transfer from one generation to another generation. We can’t deny the fact that culture cannot be acquired through the genes, it is by the help of day-to-day interaction or socialization between human beings. It is learned from their values, norms and traditions that they shared every day. At First, Culture is being learned through our parents. They are involved In making their children to learn the culture that they have. In similar way, other people also included in transmitting culture. The people that we encounter every day is also a factor for learning their culture because we are dealing with them every day, so that, in that manner we are slowly adapting their culture. Through this day-to-day interaction we can say that culture is being learned because we are dealing with them in a particular place and time that makes us adapt their own culture. Learning is best thing that describe culture is being learned through experiences and participation in a day-to-day socialization. Culture is learned through many ways.

  6. Culture is learned from time to time.It is a aspect of our life. We learned it from our parents, ancestors and other people that we encounter in our daily life, the values' ideas'behaviors, attitudes from what they experience. In our generation we learned different culture and beliefs that helps to mold our personality by the help of other people that every day we encounter. Even though we interact with others from quite different back ground still we learnd from them.
    Culture is useless with out the help of Language. Language are also important to culture because through the help of language we can communicate people and we can prevent misunderstanding and conflict,instead it can bring to a peaceful and harmony society. before I end this comment ^.^ I just wanna saY that
    Learning from others is the best experienced that we have.

  7. CULTURE IS LEARN...

    Through interaction, one can express his thoughts, expressions and so much more to better understand and more effectively can be appreciated by others in which one can deal peacefully towards them. It is said to be learn because everyday, he learn new ideas specifically other's culture and through this, he can adapt and apply it to his self. It is not necessarily that one should change everything about his own culture but he can just apply some and practice it so that he will know some of the practices of other's culture and with this he can achieve a peaceful living and contentment.
    In relation with this, one's language is the effective way to communicate other. In learning one's culture, one should have patience so that he will achieve unity and must deal with them to get more accurate information and ideas. In learning also, the process of manipulating the ideas, thought and the like takes gradually and effectively so that it can acknowledge by oneself what are the things that are important and helpful to be used in daily living. Well, it is very important that once you communicate with others, you should be careful of what language you are going to use because sometimes it leads to misunderstandings and conflict.
    Everyday we gain knowledge. Be open-minded person and accept and respect others what ever culture they have. There are cases that you are force to learn ("hindi labag sa kalooban") other's culture because it can be useful especially going abroad for some reason and purpose.

  9. CULTURE is DYNAMIC <3

    Culture change, as this world became diverse or simply said to be likely more modernized, we actually adapt to such occurring changes. Culture is not static, but dynamic culture is continuously changing. This simply means culture interact to another culture and interchanging of ideas or symbols are present, but how? By the use of language, either through verbal or non verbal, culture can be language, we easily understand culture groups by the way they behave, their practices or in the way of their living. Their are some reasons why culture is dynamic, such as:
    * culture is integrated, if one component in the system of culture changes it is expected that
    entire system must adjust.
    * culture is universal, culture is present to all humans it is natural on us.
    * culture is unique, we identify, characterized or even categorized people by its culture, that
    that culture do that other culture don't what make it unique because of it
    differences.
    * culture is adoptive, it must adjust to the external forces of various kinds

    Those are some of the reasons, but we can make it possible through the collaboration of culture and language, as what I have said, if we don't understand each other, culture can be a language. We must recognize the importance of diversity and thus try to help and maintain or prevent the extinction of cultures.

    culture gives meaning..

  10. Culture varies from society to society.We all know that every society has its own culture.They have their different beliefs,traditions and practices.Culture varies and changes from time to time.None is static. At the same time that new cultural traits are added, some old ones are lost because they are no longer useful.The regular addition and subtraction of cultural traits results in culture change.

    Language is our means of our communication.Language can be viewed as a verbal expression of culture.Language provides us with many of the categories we use for expression of our thoughts, so it is therefore natural to assume that our thinking is influenced by the language which we use.It is used to maintain and convey culture and cultural ties.

  11. Culture is shared by a group of people.It is passed from one generation to another through language by a group or by an individual. In a group of people, there are different cultures that an individual is influenced from another person.It may be in beliefs, norms, behaviors and etc.

    One example is the idea of going to church for a family as a custom and tradition of a lasting relationship with the guidance of the Almighty.
    This idea will be passed by a group or an individual to another as a part of their culture.

  12. Culture and language are closely related to each other because we recognize the culture of the person by his or her language.Culture is the values, attitudes, beliefs that are characteristics of a particular society or population.for me culture is dynamic because there is no permanent into this world. all things has changes and it can change in someways.

  13. For me culture and language are interrelated because of your language, others person can identify if what is your culture.Language and culture also identify if where did you came from. Culture and Language is very important to us so that there have peace and unity.Culture is change because of the influence of other culture.ex.When the indigenous person mingle to Tagalog person, so there have a changes of their language.So they use language that they understand each other to avoid conflict and misunderstanding.

  14. CULTURE is DYNAMIC*
    Culture is dynamic and thus complex. Culture is fluid rather than static, which means that culture changes all the time, everyday, in subtle and tangible ways. Because humans communicate and express their cultural systems in a variety of ways, it can be hard to pinpoint exactly what cultural dynamics are at play. It has many branches of ideas, thoughts, expressions, and new techniques that are being discovered. Culture is formed by those people whose values, beliefs and religions combine them to live together. With the inclusion and with the help of social interaction of more people in the society, new era of developments and the forces of evolution the culture changes its shape. Culture is a cycle, in every cycle it changes and every changes there is development which culture becomes dynamic:)

  15. "CULTURE IS LEARNED"
    Culture is the product of human behavior.We can also refer this to cultural transmission.We humans are in the process of acquiring our culture, consciously and unconsciously, throughout our lives, though most of our basic cultural understandings are acquired early on from our parents and other intimates, schools, and religious teachings.
    It is important to remember that culture is learned through language and modeling others; it is not genetically transmitted. Culture is encoded in the structure, vocabulary, and semantics of language. Persons acquainted with more than one language are aware that there are concepts, norms, and emotions that are available in one language/culture that are not available in the other, and this is a reminder of the inextricable link between language and culture.

    Much of culture is acquired out of consciousness, through exposure to the speech, judgments, and actions of others. Because we learn all of our lives, we are constantly learning our cultures. We may even pick up and incorporate parts and pieces of a culture different from our own through that process known as acculturation if we have the opportunity to live in a different cultural environment or associate frequently with persons from another culture.

  16. culture is shared by a group of people. even a single person who is being a very simple, yet can be a powerful one if he is armored with his rich culture. if we are going to share our culture and the recipient of it will adapt and apply what we have shared, then we can be powerful also. people of different places and of different races have their own respective culture, but because of the intermingling of those people with each other by any means of socialization, they unnoticely shared their cultures already, and even adapted the culture of others.

  17. CULTURES CHANGE
    All cultures change through time. No culture is static. However, most cultures are basically conservative in that they tend to resist change. The dynamic process whereby the living cultures of the world are changing and adapting to external or internal forces, day by day and time to time there is a possibilities that culture will change. Everything in this world is not constant and stable, and one of it is the CULTURE, because of social interaction and communication there will be a new form or development of culture that's why there are changes to become a progressive community.

  18. CULTURE IS TRANSMITTED
    We were raised from different culture. We Filipinos have our own culture that is unique from others. That serves as our identity as a Filipino citizen. Just like saying "po" and "opo" for showing our respect to elders. This tradition came from our ancestors and was transmitted to generation-to-generation. Untill now, we are practicing this trait. It's just one proof that culture is transmitted.
