UNDERSTANDING THE SELF (UTS) : LESSON 3 | THE SELF IN ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES
Résumé
TLDRThe video explores the concept of 'self' from three distinct perspectives: philosophical, sociological, and anthropological. Philosophically, the self is viewed as a combination of body, soul, and mind, focusing on internal elements. Sociologically, it's shaped by societal influences and external factors. The anthropological perspective introduces a nuanced view, focusing on human beings' place within cultural, physical, and existential contexts. Anthropology involves understanding human life, examining physical traits and cultural aspects such as language, religion, and customs. The video delves into culture's role, highlighting material components (tangible heritage), cognitive components (ideas, knowledge), and normative components (social norms). Two key concepts of cultural change are introduced: cultural lag, the delay in adapting non-material culture to new material conditions, and cultural borrowing, where societies adopt traits from others. Ultimately, these perspectives and cultural elements intertwine, defining personal identity and self-perception.

Today's lesson begins with a recap of previous topics under 'Understanding the Self': the philosophical perspective views the self as body and soul, while the sociological perspective sees it influenced by societal factors. Now, the focus shifts to the anthropological perspective, which studies the self through anthropology—the science of human life forms, their physical, cultural, and existential features. Anthropology seeks to understand mankind's place in the world, emphasizing human behavior systems such as language, religion, customs, and cultural influences shaping the self. Material culture, embodying tangible heritage, serves as the discussion's entry point.

The discussion extends into cognitive and normative cultural components, which include ideas, beliefs, and social norms dictating acceptable group behavior, influencing the self. Cultural changes, such as cultural lag and borrowing, reveal how technologies and fashions reshape practices. Examples include shifts from traditional to digital classrooms and adopting foreign dress styles and media preferences. Cultural borrowing and adaptation illustrate how Filipino culture is a mosaic of international influences, resulting from historical colonization. The talk concludes by acknowledging the blended nature of Filipino culture, enriched by diverse global elements, and invites further engagement.
