Propositions:

Culture Acquisition Device (CAD)—

Chomsky. Children initiate ―social‖ learning.

Theory of Mind (TOM) (Tomasello and Carp

enter 2007). Studies show that the child does

not just slavishly imitate a model but shows a

wareness of the model’s intentions and goals

and may, therefore, replicate a task while a

voiding an error made by the model.

Children assume primary responsibility for

learning their culture, but they rely on those

more expert to serve largely in the capacity of models.

Ex. Teacher, parent, etc.

Maturation provides new tools for the individual to

deploy in learning the culture and societies provide

affordances as a function of the individual’s age and

gender.

culture as a necessity in learning both

basic skills for survival as well as more

complex skills associated with craft

to its ancestors and colonizers. Most

of these are VALUES which are

Itis the value of belongingness and loyalty to the smallin-group with sensitivity to the feelings of others on theprinciple of ―give and take.‖ Pakikisama is a folkconcept of good public relations and avoidance ofconflict with the leader or majority of the groups.

Hiya – this controls to a large extent the behavior ofthe individual and most likely, is generally dependenton what others will think, say, and do. Because ofhiya, a Filipino cannot say ―NO‖ even if it is against hiswill to do what is being requested.

emotional reaction to protect his honor

and dignity when they are threatened or
