This is the Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) self-learning module for Understanding Culture, Society and Politics (UCSP), Quarter 1, Module 4, for Senior High School. Its title is “Analyze the Significance of Cultural, Social, Political, and Economic Symbols and Practices.” It helps learners recognize the symbols and practices around them, from the Philippine flag to the paluwagan, and explain why they matter to society.
The module was developed by the Department of Education – National Capital Region (First Edition, 2020).
What learners will learn
After going through this module, learners are expected to:
- Identify cultural, social, political, and economic symbols.
- Discuss cultural, social, political, and economic practices.
- Analyze the significance of cultural, social, political, and economic symbols and practices.
Key ideas: symbols and symbolism
The module starts with a quick review of the previous lesson, ethnocentrism and cultural relativism. Ethnocentrism means judging other cultures by the ideals of your own. Cultural relativism means understanding cultural differences without judging them. The module then explains that the use of symbols is a cultural universal.
A symbol is an object, word, or action that stands for something else. The meaning is defined by culture, not by any natural link. Gestures, signs, objects, signals, and words all help people understand the world. Symbolism is when something represents abstract ideas or concepts.
The module lists four functions of symbols:
- They pass on culture, ideologies, or beliefs from one group to another.
- They preserve the traditions or beliefs of a group.
- They have a “face” value and a “hidden” value. The hidden value carries the greater meaning.
- They are used to create movements, spread ideas, and share advocacies across time and distance.
The four types of symbols and practices
| Type | What it means | Examples from the module |
|---|---|---|
| Cultural | Signifies the ideology of a particular culture and has meaning within it | Philippine flag, Philippine Eagle, national anthem, national hero; Christian cross, star and crescent, Star of David |
| Social | Relates to human societies and how they are organized; shows social or economic status | Colors (black for evil or death, white for purity or peace, red for blood or danger, purple for royalty); white dove for peace; exit, no-smoking, and “No Mask, No Entry” signs |
| Political | Represents a political standpoint, especially related to power | Banners, flags, mottos, the Malacañan Palace seal; political colors such as gold for capitalism |
| Economic | Used in producing, distributing, and consuming goods and services | Currency signs such as ₱ (Philippine peso), $ (New Zealand dollar), ₩ (South Korean won), ฿ (Thai baht) |
Filipino practices featured in the module
- Traditional medical practices: belief in the albularyo (folk healer), herbal medicines, and home remedies.
- Religious and spiritual practices: the Obando Festival in Bulacan for fertility, Panaad sa Camiguin as penance and pilgrimage, and the Feast of the Black Nazarene in Manila.
- Culinary practices: rice three times a day, adobo, sinigang, balut, street food, and rice cakes.
- Child-rearing practices: mano, po and opo as signs of respect, obedience to elders, removing footwear before entering the house, family mealtime, and ate/kuya and ninong/ninang.
- Political practices: political dynasties, Filipino clans, celebrities turned politicians, the palakasan system (gaining an advantage by knowing someone powerful), trapo (traditional politics), Catholic Church influence, and power revolt.
- Economic practices: saving in an alkansya (a bamboo coin bank) and joining a paluwagan, a group savings scheme where members give money to a manager and the pooled money rotates among them.
The module concludes that symbols let people communicate with different groups, influence others, and preserve values passed down through generations.

What’s In
On your last module, you have learned two concepts: Ethnocentrism and cultural relativism. Regardless of the cultural universals that we have, cultural differences are still much more widespread. Ethnocentrism also known as cultural superiority complex, is a belief where your own culture over the other cultures which results from judging other cultures by your own cultural ideals. On the other hand, cultural relativism is the opposite of ethnocentrism. It is the idea that every culture difference must be understood and must not be judged based on one’s own culture as there is no superior culture over the other. These two are part of our cultural aspects which shapes the interaction of human within a society and no matter how society perceived a culture, cultural practices will remain to be practiced by the people.
DIRECTIONS: Write down your thoughts on which among the two social symbols do you often see? Compare them and explain which of the two should be more posted.

Symbols such as gestures, signs, objects, signals, and words, help people understand the world. Symbols provide clues to understanding experiences. They relay recognizable meanings that are shared by societies. Symbolism, on the other hand, is when something represents abstract ideas or concepts; it assigns names, denominations, and defines relations between various elements (actors, actions, goals, means, objects, values, etc.) articulated within a narrative.

Answer Key
[transcriber’s note: this page is printed upside down relative to the page heading; the text below is transcribed in its intended reading orientation]
A culture includes the group’s shared practices, values, beliefs, norms and artifacts. One sociologist might analyze video of people from different societies as they carry on everyday conversations to study the rules of polite conversation from different cultures. Another world sociologist might interview a representative sample of people to see how email and instant messaging have changed the way organizations are run. Yet another sociologist might study how migration determined the way in which language spread and changed over time. A fourth sociologist might study the history of international agencies like the United Nations or the International Monetary Fund to examine how the globe became divided into a First World and a Third World after the end of the colonial era. Moreover, culture consists of thoughts (expectations about personal space, for example) and tangible things (bus stops, trains, and seating capacity). Material culture refers to the objects or belongings of a group of people. Metro passes and bus tokens are part of material culture, as are automobiles, stores, and the physical structures where people worship. Nonmaterial culture, in contrast, consists of the ideas, attitudes, and beliefs of a society. Material and nonmaterial aspects of culture are linked, and physical objects often symbolize cultural ideas.
