Assessment 1:
1.
Read module 1 and give your reflection in Asian Pop Culture.
Popular culture, as a people's culture, is determined by interactions between people in their
daily activities, such as clothing styles, slang usage, greeting rituals, and the foods that people eat.
The Philippines is a culture where East and West collide. The Filipinos have a distinct Asian heritage
as well as a strong Western tradition. Chinese traders, Spanish conquistadors, and American rule
all had an impact on modern Filipino culture. Aside from traditional Korean and Japanese popular
culture, the region has witnessed waves of newly emerging Asian cultural products that have not
only generated economic gains but have also enriched the entertainment sector.
Asian popular culture's spread reflects the shifting attitudes of Asian youth toward their
neighbors. The synchronization of media culture markets is alive and well in Asian Pop Culture.
These Asian countries effectively form positive relationships with one another due to their shared
interest in popular culture. More people in the region now have access to information about Asian
Pop Culture, which helps to develop points of unity and integration. Large, diverse groups of people
can identify collectively through popular culture. It serves an inclusive function in society by uniting
the masses around ideals of acceptable behavior. Consuming pop culture items frequently raises an
individual's status in their peer group, as well as forging a sense of identity that connects individuals
to larger society.
The spread of Asian popular culture highlights the shifting attitudes of Asian youth toward
their peers. The expansion of the production capacity of East Asian media cultures such as pop
music, television production, films, and other theatrical ventures allows many residents of the region
to experience and identify with the characteristics of Asian pop culture. Through their shared interest
in popular culture, those Asian countries effectively form positive relationships with one another, as
a common ground found in music and movies can certainly engender a sense of goodwill for one
another. Pop culture adds more to our lives than just a way to pass the time.

1.Research Philippine Popular Culture and give your insights and example.
Filipinos are resilient; they take pride in their families, are religious, respectful, and, most
importantly, help one another. Filipinos value traditions and culture, enjoy partying and eating, and
appreciate art and architecture. Filipinos are family-oriented and often religious people who enjoy
art, fashion, music, and food. Because of the influences of colonization and neighboring countries,
the Philippines has a distinct culture. Furthermore, Filipinos are extremely hardworking.
Example: Bayanihan Filipino culture – among the most popular Filipino customs and traditions that
continue to be practiced today. Another is the world's longest Christmas, and this Philippine culture
and tradition is well known around the world.
2.Think about Philippine Popular Culture in our country being portrayed by the new generation, does
Philippine values and tradition still the same or it is already manipulated/gone. Why and How?
The Pamamanhikan is our country's popular culture as portrayed by the generation
(courtship). This is the formal act of a guy asking the girl's family for her hand in marriage. It usually
entails the guy's family bringing over gifts and discussing the couple's marriage plans.
Pamamanhikan has remained unchanged no matter how modern the world has become. It cannot
be lost because it is a Filipino tradition that demonstrates the man's respectful nature and echoes
the values of the Filipino family.
