How Culture and Politics Shapes Socio-Political Landscape

Hey everyone! In today’s video, we're diving into a super interesting topic—the relationship between culture and politics! 🤔 Ever wondered if it's our cultural values and norms that shape political decisions, or if it's actually politics—like laws and leaders—that shape the way we live and think? We're going to explore both sides and see which one has the bigger influence!

We’ll look at examples from all over the world, but we’re also zooming in on the Philippines to see how unique cultural values like utang na loob (that strong sense of gratitude) and pakikisama (keeping things smooth with everyone) play out in the political arena. And, we’ll also check out how political moves, like the Magna Carta of Women, are changing cultural attitudes in real-time!
