I thought that clip did a decent job of explaining what culture is exactly. I sure learned a few things from it that's for sure. I really liked that first example with the two men trying to fish, one with a power drill and the father was fishing with a fishing pole. Then it explained that if it has not been invented yet it is not culture. Which if you think about it, if it isn't invented how can it have anything to do with a group of people's culture. I also thought it was interesting how it stated that culture is something that is shared and it shows the group of people at the dinner table and the grandma walks by and shares about how they need to eat all their food then talks about how it was when she was growing up. I just think this video brought up multiple really good points about culture that you normally would not associate with culture. -mybabygirl004
The power drill was a little out of place I think. It didn’t hinder the cartoon. I still could understand what was being said. A lot of us can relate to the shared cartoon. I have heard that many times in my life and have even used it on my son. That was a great example. Over all it makes a lot of sense. It is easy to understand how these come in to pay when you use the little cartoons. The religion or integrated was very clear cut. Religion was the perfect example because individuals are not like to be swayed away from their own religion. -MysonMyworld004
The dinner table statement is one that I had to listen to when I didn't want to eat my food. Was this statement true back then when I was a child? Where did it come from? myboys004
Another aspect to the drill part of the video is showing how culture is learned. If no one taught the boy to use a fishing pole it makes sense that he would use random things that wouldn’t actually catch him any fish. It was a silly example but it presented a pretty big aspect of culture in a really simple way. DTH004
I appreciated this video in that it listed qualities of culture. I understand that culture is learned, shared, symbolic, all-encompassing and integrated. The video stated that if a new idea doesn’t fit in with the core value of a culture, the new idea is rejected. However, in contrast, the video also stated that when a core value changes, the culture also changes. This seemed contradictory. An example of a core value or belief that has changed over time could be the fact that a majority of people who live in the city do not have or need the skills required for survival in the wilderness. At one point in time, if one wanted to live, one would have to know how to survive in the wild. Most people (except for Bear Grylls) would likely starve to death because they do not know how to acquire wild foods and survive the extremes of weather outdoors. What people in the city do know is how to drive a car, use a computer and understand how to obtain food in a supermarket or restaurant. Cultures can and do change over time, just at different rates. ~happilycurious004
I agree with your blog. I also found the video to be somewhat contradictory to values and beliefs, but I do think the video makes a valid point in explaining how one generation is the reason for a current culture and how future generations will take what they learn and add to it to continue adding culture to our future generations. bdole004
The video was interesting. It was very clear cut on what it was going over. How culture is learned, shared, symbolic, all encompassing, and integrated. Although, I understood the learned little cartoon, I don’t really get the example of the power drill. Not really sure that that part was necessary. The shared idea (there are starving children in Africa) has been told to me my whole life. I have even used it when it comes to my son. The symbolic cartoon was a bit confusing to me. I understand the ideal of symbolic. All-encompassing was very clear. Even things you don’t focus on or notice have great impact on your culture. The integrated aspect was very clear with the religion cartoon. Religion is a very good example because individuals don’t often stray from their idea being right and a lot of individuals are very confident in their religion being the right one. I can relate to each of these especially the shared as I mentioned before. -MysonMyworld004
I agree that this video made a good point on the understanding of culture and what it is. I also agree it is easy to relate to each of them especially the comment about the children starving in Africa. I think it is a saying that we have used in society for many years, I also have caught myself using this phrase towards my daughter and niece. -JustMe1989004
I do agree that the clip was interesting. I did think it went into good detail about culture, the cave man clip was a little confusing to me and I was questioning it but the others were a good example. We are always told that everyone culture is different and that we should open our eyes to that. -Boop004-
Yes the video was interesting and I agree that culture is learned. When a child is born they only learn what is seen around them no matter what race they are. I really didn't understand the rational behind the power drill scene either. That phrase about the starving children is a common statement to get children to eat their food, the statement is also a reality. All in all culture is definitely learned and shared.~Mznurse004
When I first seen this video before I clicked on the play button I have to say I wasn't sure what kind of message it would have about culture. When they showed the drill it seemed kind of off to me I think they could have chose something else for a better message, it kind of threw me off it seemed weird and awkward at first. But after watching the video it was quite clear on what culture really is. I 100 percent agree culture is learned. If we realize it or not society changes all the time over the years, but we still tend to follow or culture and the ways we learn from it. When it said the part about "you better eat, think of all the starving kids in Africa." This is something I remember always hearing as a child when we didn't care to eat a meal. I also agree culture is symbolic even though one thing can mean completely something different in another culture every culture is symbolic in their own ways.-JustMe1989004
Culture is a combination of our beliefs, experiences, religions, etc that have been passed down by previous generations. We had to have been taught by our family members first then when we were sent to school we learned differences through our teachers and peers. As we get older and branch out with the added social media, the invention of newer technology, and the opportunity to meet new people or to travel to new areas and learn more we are then able to add more things to our own culture that will turn into the culture we pass down to our future generations. This cycle will continue with our children doing the same things only there will be more growth in technology and that will lead to a greater culture for them to pass on. bdole004
The part of the video that stuck out for me was the part about religion this one hit home for me. Growing went to a Baptish church with my grandmother every Sunday. This is what I was taught. Then none of my aunts or uncles would attend church, but all of a sudden one by one they all attend a Apostolic church. If your'e not apart of that denomination (according to them) you will be left behind. I do beleive cultures are learned and also shared, because Catholics, Baptist, Jehova witnesses, Apostolic and all other denominations all have the same goal, to make it into Heaven. myboys004
I can completely agree with you about religion. Most religions all have the same goal, the same purpose. Most of my family are Buddhist or Catholic. My grandmother was the first person who dared to step out of the Buddhist religion and converted to Catholic. At first her family wasn't happy with her but eventually they came to a realization that both religions have the same goal. -Happy004
This video gives a really good definition of culture; that it is a shared system of beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that society uses to cope with their world. Culture is a very broad term. There is much more to it than what you originally think. Culture is everywhere in our daily life. From the way we communicate to the way we cook. A good indicator of if something is culture is if it is learned. Culture is shared from person to person. It is also very symbolic. One thing I never thought of as a symbol of culture is language. There is not really any real connection between what a word is and what it means. Language is all around us showing that even when we are isolated there is still culture around us. I thought that it was kind of ironic that the video was presented in robot voices. It’s funny that culture is such a pivotal part of the human existence and it was presented by inhuman voices. DTH004
The video talks about the different aspects of culture and how it affects everyday lives of individuals. I liked the example of the two men fishing and the ways of fishing. I can relate to the second example of the family sitting at the table because I am a very picky eater and when I don’t finish or don’t like a certain food, my family never miss a chance to remind me of their difficult times when they grew up with very little food and that i should be grateful for every bit of food I have. Also, my family are still learning the many shared values, beliefs, customs, and behaviors of the cultures that exists in America, even after migrating here many years ago. My family is also adapting to the symbolic gestures of the culture here in America. My family usually doesn’t show affection, compliment, or say “thank you” and “sorry,” but since they have adapted to the customs here, they have been more affectionate and shown more emotion towards things and people. -Happy004
Selfies, selfie sticks, Kim Khardashian, beats head phones, iphones, etc. All the things listed are products of our current culture and influence our daily decisions. Cultural fads are reinforced commercial through media avenues which make us believe we are choosing these products, however, do we really choose? We are shaped by society and society uses media to reinforce the culture. kylegoldheart004
