1. Based on your book reviews and readings conducted, how do values derived in studying
folkdance affect the daily lives of the people?
Values derived in studying the folk dance affect the daily lives of the people by giving them
the attitude of appreciating our culture. This enhances our nationalism which every day we
can live on. In doing our daily activities, this values will live to ourselves which we will
always think, use and respect our culture and our nation. Because folk dances often have
roots in traditional storytelling. Many folk dances around the world are a rich resource for
ethnographers, historians and people striving to preserve their cultures around the world,
since old legends, tales and stories can actually be preserved through dance, sometimes
preserving cultural tales when they had no literacy. So many times, a folk dance will appear
just to be another happy gathering, when actually, the placement of the dancers and their
movements can be telling a story such as the recent study of hula dancing done by native
Hawaiians has proved. This dance also help us to have a proper posture and have a healthy
life which we can use in our daily living. When we are doing something, we will do it with
lots of patience and discipline since folk dance taught us to do so because studying and
executing this dance can help us gain this kind of values we should live on. This dance
should have a proper execution since it follows rules and dance steps that can't be undone in a
way. Since this dance give relaxation and a part of recreational activity, it affects our daily
lives by making our life mentally and emotionally stable.
2. What is the role of folk dance in the culture of the people?
Folk dances are traditional social expressions of the ideals, mores, feelings, and thoughts of
the people or group of the people through body movements. Folk dances are dances bound by
tradition with movements passed down through the generations. Folk dance is not just one
singular style of dance, but a collection of many dances which define the uniqueness of
culture. Each style of folk dance can date back several generations with ties to the Old World.
Many folk dances trace their origins back during times when dance was distinguished
between the different classes of society. However, what is the importance of folk dance?
Primarily, it keeps a culture of people alive, by sharing and teaching younger generations the
dances. Moreover, dance keeps the history of people alive as well. Dances are ways a
community celebrates a special event or important date in time. They are a place to socialize
with family and friends, meet your neighbors, making new friends. If we take Philippine folk

dances are important because they help keep a culture alive. People have been doing folk
dances for hundreds of years, and there is value keeping that tradition alive. Folk dances are
important because they preserve culture and pass it on to the next generation. As mentioned

Reflective Activity: As a student, how can you help preserve and promote our cultural
heritage?
Firstly, as a student I can share culture's art and technology. Because each culture has its own
clothing, music, visual art, storytelling traditions, and many more unique characteristics.
Other members of culture will be overjoyed to teach or talk about their hobbies, their jobs,
their crafts, and what they do for fun. This includes traditional artwork you would find in a
museum, but material culture goes far beyond that. Even a kitchen spoon or a piece of
software is a cultural artifact. All those can help to promote the culture worldwide.
Secondly, I will attend or organize major events. Philippines country rich with variety of
tribe, religious denomination, or immigrant ethnic group almost certainly celebrate major
holidays or cultural festivals. Travel to these to get a broader perspective on preserve culture.
If you don't know of any groups in within area, organize own event as a method to preserve
culture.
However, each and every family got unique style of cooking especially come for secret
cooking family recipes. Nowadays younger generation losing the recipe of grandparents.
Since all can surf and watch YouTube on how to cook a dish. But, in reality nobody knows
that homemade cooks can’t be comparable to any other foods in-term of the uniqueness, the
taste and smell vary from others or restaurants. So, what we can do is learn it from older
people such as grandparents to follow or continue their recipe to make the family cultural
survived.
Next will be one of the most important element of preserve culture was, spend time with
other members of the community such as relatives, family and friends to ensure our culture in
safe hand. That’s the best way to preserve culture is to keep it alive. Because I believe that
communications is great key for make the community attach close, since, if the community
attach together the culture keep in alive. Furthermore, gather as a group not just for holidays,
but for ordinary meals, events, or just conversation which can learn many aspects of culture.
By attending those event can spread our culture to different people by sharing the information
each other’s. For example, I got some of Muslim and Indian friends, only when I start to
communicate with them, I personally get to know their cultures and livings. That’s why
communication is important and sharing the information also key factor to promote the
cultures.
Last but not the least, most of element in Philippines culture believe in god. So learn more
about religious traditions. Whether or not you share your parents' and grandparents' religion,
studying it can help you understand culture in deep. Religion connects and lead to language,
history, and personal behavior. Moreover, it becoming more familiar with your or your
family's religion can help you understand all these other aspects. Which make huge impact on
preserve our culture alive.
