Culture, Society and Politics as Conceptual Tools
Culture, society and politics are concepts.
They exist in the realm of ideas and thoughts. As such, they cannot be seen or touched and
yet the influence the way we see and experience our individual and collective social beings.
What is CONCEPT/S?
Concepts are created and have been used to have firm grasp of a
phenomenon. Just like any other words, concepts are initially invented
as icons to capture phenomena and in the process assist the
users/inventors to describe facets of social experience in relation to
the phenomena concerned.
What is interesting about concepts is that as conceptual tools, they allow us

to form other concepts, or relate concepts to each other or even
deconstruct old ones and replace them with something new.
Students as Social
Beings: Explain
Identity: Explain
Our sociality is defined by the very categories that we possess, the
categories assigned to us by the society at large. These labels so to
speak, function, as tags with which our society read our worth and
value. These categories that we posses are not natural; rather they are
socially constructed.
Identity is the distinctive characteristic that defines an

individual or is shared by those belonging to a particular
group. People may have multiple identities depending on the
groups to which they belong.
