Portrait of the Filipino Family: Social Networking Sites

Portrait of the Filipino Family

INTRODUCTION

We have so much to learn about a Filipino Family. They taught us values in life that through these values and cultures we became better. Filipinos have so many great cultures and traditions that need to be passed from one generation to another. We should go out there and let the whole world know how capable Filipinos are. We should be proud that we have a blood of a Filipino. And as a Filipino, I want the world to know that we can do a lot of things that others can't.

I hope through this blog, you'll learn how to love and appreciate being a Filipino. It is not something to be ashamed of. Be Proud.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

| Loyalty within the family

| Filipinos are family oriented

| The super ordination of the family over individual interest

| Concept of Family Solidarity

| Maintains expressive and emotional relationship

| The impact of modernization on the family

| Ability to survive

| Extreme Family-Centered

| Lack of Discipline

| Kanya - kanya syndrome

| Colonial Mentality

Our sense of joy and humor serves us well in difficult times. It makes life more pleasant.

The Filipino child grows up in an atmosphere of affection and over protection, where one learns security and trust but also being dependent to others.

In the family, children are taught to value the family and to learn its importance.

Social Networking Sites

Here are some sites that we commonly use: Multiply, Facebook, Friendster, Tumblr, Twitter, Myspace, Blogspot, Youtube, etc.

This year has been a successful one for Facebook. It became so hit that it's like a rocket that suddenly, so many people are using it. Like, We, in our family, all of us have an account on Facebook and so as our relatives in other countries. And through these sites, it became so easy to communicate with them. It sure did some help in building our relationship with our relatives again.

Youtube is also a help because we can view or add a video there so our relatives can see it. It feels like you are there when watching a video of your family having a party.

Multiply is a site where you can post pictures for them to see. You can also share what you feel or it can be a journal where you can update them with what's happening in your daily life.
