it is consists of the intangible
properties and elements of society

example for this are the belief and
religions
when we were young filipino children
always love to listen to community

elder relatives
this is a focus a folklore is an example
of non-material dimension of culture so
example for our filipino folklore or the
biagni lemang
and the story of malakas
just to mention a few
folklores are myths legends
folktales proverbs and riddles
which embodies the history beliefs
ideas values and practices that define
society
focus is also the traditional beliefs
customs and stories
of a community that is passed through
from
generations to generations by the word
of mouth
since culture combines many elements to
create
a unique way of living for different
people
so we need first to identify the four
elements that exist in every culture
and these are the symbols languages
values and norms
the first cultural component that we are
going to talk about
is symbol symbols refers to things that

attach a specific meaning to an object
gesture sound or an image
the second vital cultural component that
we are going to tackle about
is language language is a set of symbols
that enables members of society
to communicate verbally and non verbally
this also includes full languages as we
usually think of them
such as english spanish french
and many more also it includes body
languages
gestures slangs and common phrases that
are unique to certain groups of people
for example even though english is
spoken fluently in both america and
britain
we have our own filipino slang and
phrases that mean different things
so for example we use cr instead of
restroom
istanbul instead of standby tricycle
