Chapter 5

CULTURAL PRODUCTS

 When we get in in a new culture, specifically when our sences get in  a new cutural product, this one can be read, so we can interpret, and in our case is inevitable to comparade, and make our own perspective about it. The cultural product is a physical manifestation.

 Artifacs, are the manifestation of culture, in a form physical, the Wikipedia page defined artifacts as anythind created by humans which gives information about the culture of its creators and users, as important as the meaning, is the fact that is used in anthropology,[1] ethnology,[2] and sociology, social sciences, but with diferent interpretatios. Is posible say that artifacts are the product of the product, because, is created or used from a need in the enviroment, and as the people and their knowledge are in a contance process, isn't weir how the artifacts that one communitie development, after a while, was adopted by other communities, and used them for another things.
 A exemple in the wheel, used by egiptians and the Maya used it in differents ages, meanwhile in Egipt it was construction and transport, the maya used in the tools to learn the time, the wheel is physically important to used the maya calendar. But in Egipt their calendar was based in the Sun and his river the Nile. About the wheel, the egipts used it as tool because their territory, was and still is a plane level, the mayas even the know about the wheel, their doesn't had the ground conditions for needed, they where in woodland, with a higher and irregular plane, for that reason they never used the wheel to transport.
 PLACES
 A space of land, where a culture is setting, or where it was setting would be marked with evidences of the establishment by a culture, that's could be displayed, with the structures as buildins, roads, or their work, and also, with the resource use, the change in their natural structure, or the accidents.
 The places are affected by the culture, even when the persons watched, is when us as new comers in a new culture, we have a critical and objective analysis.
 Three years ago, i went in a photografy tour with the specif point of the Orosi Church in Cartago, the town around the church, is one with a lots of common points with anothers towns, the Costa rican culture is present, with facts as the localization, around the basics culture products, the church, the local school, and the soccer field. The orosi culture, made the place from the Church, very particular, because, even in a religious place, there is also a turistic place, both facts combined, affect things, as the economy, even the territory of the church is extent,and there is a museum include, the only one food service is the church kitchen. Outdoors the economy grew with restaurants with typical food, and where the alcohol is permitted at night. Also on the outskirts of town, the culture are defined more about the coffee,  his cultivation and distribution.
INSTITUTIONS
 Is products of a community need, the organization of rules, ideas, places, all this come to complete the need from a community, that would be contance, and would a a potential expansion, the following between the community need and a organization that meets the need, made their own history, her own identity, even can made their own memories.
 Is possible meet the history from a institution, with their values and manner, with the institutional memory, the oldest generation gives their achievements to the younger  generation. A exemple of this is the first year of university, is normal hear other students about the hardest teachers, the most complicated subjects, and the rules and expectations, from the institution to the students. 

ARTS FORMS
The artistics forms to present history, not all the arts represent a culture, but this kind of arts, got to be a representation of values, and traditions, but is the meaning and his culture contatc, the most important.
 We can find representations in:

  • novels: This got to represent the values, it got to be hubicated in culture. Exemples, Costa Rica there a the Limon tales of Hermano Araña o Bro Anansi, this character lives in limon, talk in this dialects, even his representation is taken from the people of Limon
  • Ceramic:  Isn't just the form, is the way to do it. Made them is one part os the process, conserve his structure and his cultural value is very hard. A exemple is the jimenez Deredia work, the faces of his sculture conserve the costa rican features
  • .
  • Music: Called the typical music, we can recognize by the used of instruments, and the colors in them.
