10. CLASSROOM DISCUSSION

11. NATIONALITY AND ETHNICITY their concepts are not interchangeable Nationality it is the identity that is tied to being part of a nation or country it is the “group of people who share the same history, traditions, and language” and who inhabits a particular territory delineated by a political border and controlled by a government can be acquired by being born in a country or by the process of legal applications called naturalization

12. Ethnic Groups smaller cultural groups that share specific environments, traditions, and histories that are not necessarily subscribed to by the mainstream culture there are about 180 indigenous ethnic groups in the Philippines and more than 100 tribal groups who are mostly inhabiting ancestral domains in the lowland, upland, and coastal areas

13. Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women Sex - refers to the biological characteristics of humans such as male or female, gender categories are more varied, accommodating identities such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LQBTI)

14. TYPES OF GENDER Heterosexual – is inclined to be sexually attracted to a person of the opposite sex Homosexual – is attracted to a person of the same sex (gay/lesbian) Bisexual – are attracted to both sexes Asexual – is being attracted to any sex Polysexual – attracted to multiple types of gender Pansexual – who accommodates all types of gender Transgender – people whose gender identities do not match their biological identity as male or female Transsexual – their sexual orientation is not related to their genitalia, which allow them to identify with any other type of gender such as heterosexual, pansexual, bisexual, and sexual

15. SOCIO-ECONOMIC CLASS Its concept between societies as the ideas associated with being poor or rich differ based on the collective experiences of individuals People falling into different social classes are bound to experience life differently such as in the form of transportation and the type and amount of food that they can afford and consume daily Our indicators of social class are different, given the economic and political context in which our country is in * mahirap * medyo mayaman * sakto lang * mayaman

16. POLITICAL IDENTITY As a social group refers to the set of attitudes and practices that an individual adheres to in relation to the political systems and actors within his or her society Ang Ladlad – a political party that negotiates for the welfare of the LGBTI community Kabataan – a political party that promotes youth empowerment Religion – can also offer political identity to its followers Ex: INC – promotes the practice of block-voting

17. RELIGION The belief of supernatural has been one of the universal pre-occupations of humans as early as 60,000 years ago RELIGIOUS BELIEFS - extreme weather conditions - natural and man-made calamities - sickness - death Early human art exuded ancient forms of superstitious that included beliefs in the afterlife and that of superhuman capabilities Sorcerer of Les Gabillou – an example of a Paleolithic artwork – depicts the supernatural ability of a religious practitioner to become half-man and half-animal

18. Today, religion has evolved to promote far complex forms of understanding human nature, the afterlife, and natural events. Monotheistic – believing in the existence of one GOD Polytheistic – believing in the existence of multiple GODS

19. Cultural Variation The variation in human conditions promotes diversity and plurality in cultural traditions Ethnocentrism – a perspective that promotes an individual’s culture as the most efficient and superior - the individual who exhibits ethnocentrism feels that his or her culture is the most appropriate as compared with other cultures Cultural relativism – promotes the perspective that cultures must be understood in the context of their locality - this makes you tolerant of the differing attitudes and practices of others

20. Cultural Relatively Approach of Ferraro and Andretta “One can build emotional resilience by understanding that others do not necessarily offend, but that their actions are guided by their own cultural norms” Race – one of the problematic form of classification for human groups - based on observable human traits and characteristics Caucasoid Mongoloid Australoid Negroid *These categories merely reflect the differences in skin color, size of skull, height, body frame, and other physical characteristics *In 2013 study of the Pew Research Center, it was noted that “all black men were six times as likely as all white men to be incarcerated” - lower household income - lesser access to good education - poor housing conditions - lesser to no access to health care system
