QUESTION:
Culture and environment: Are they related? (Professor Janet B. Martires)
Culture
and environment are definitely linked. Present customs and traditions are
offshoots of man’s interaction with his environment. The Aetas of
Zambales worship the forest since they are forest nomads and subsist from
it.
Even
the physical attributes of people has something to do with their
environment. Take the case of mountain dwellers for example. They
are short, stocky, have big feet, and short and muscular limbs. These are
physical traits borne out of walking on slopes. People living along
coastal communities, who are traditional fisher folks, have dark skins from
constant exposure to seawind and sunlight.
Just
my little thoughts…
