‘Dreaming Filipinos’
Filipinos are well known on any countries to be lovable, generous, and hard
working as a Filipinos, we are easily adapted and embrace our cultures and
perspectives, but in a many years ago, after being colonized by some nations, we are
also adapted the cultures, beliefs and values of the other superior group, we can’t deny
the reality that we are also easy to get, can easily bribed, that the other country or
particular will benefited at last, especially on culture aspect, some of our fellow
countrymen believe that if you are have an influence with the other country on the
aspect of products and services that you gained, they believe that you’re an upper
class, this aspect also refer to the cultural concept called xenocentrism, which an
individual loves the other culture instead on his/her own, and also sometimes they have
a belief that if they going to migrate on the other country, life will be changed into a good
one that the ethnocentrism occurs, when they believe the one superior group are in the
highest point, they proud of other culture instead of their own, well I believe that is true,
but there are instances that other group or country discriminate us, because of the lack
of a consciousness and awareness of the Filipino, but I’m very against with that, based
on the video, there’s one question that I heard many times, what is the problem with the
Filipino? By the way, all of us have a problem within culture, we must not degrade and
discriminate other cultures and beliefs, if we have a problem, we must solve our own
before we criticize others.
