Occidental influences come from Spanish and American cultures through the Spanish colonial period and American occupation. This has resulted in Filipino values reflecting both gemeinschaft aspects of close community ties as well as gesellschaft aspects of impersonal social relations.

    and occidental, so they are familiar and can adjust
    easily with the ways of different people and
    countries.

    individuals, based on close personal and family
    ties.

    VALUES: INCONSISTENCY
    AND CONFLICT

    diversity of society. This leads to a strained or
    abnormal balancing act of how we view the world.
    Values are not called full values unless they go
    through the cognitive, affective, and behavioral
    processes.

    be chosen freely from alternatives after careful
    thought.

    cherished, and the person publicly affirms it.

    shows this in his or her actions, acts positively
    about it, and does it habitually.

    FILIPINO VALUES

    is in this value where the family, including
    extended family, give support to members of the
    family.
    2. Approval from authority and of society
    Filipinos have the desire to please and be
    accepted by the authority.

    3. Economic and social betterment Filipino value
    of uplifting ones state in life. This can be considered
    a positive value, but negates itself if one goes to the
    extent of selling oneself and sacrificing other values.
    4. Patience, endurance, and suffering this value
    shows the matiisin attitude among the Filipino. It
    enables us to bounce back easily when tragedy
    strikes.

    our fate.

    preferred as practical and not theoretical.
    6. Progress the preference for products which are
    identified as the latest therefore the best.
    7. Science the recognition of the works of science

    elections, when we emphasize our needs and
    choices.
