Positive Traits Of The Filipino

Filipino nurses and Filipino patients as well possess some similarities in their psychological backgrounds which help nurses to relate the patients’ behavior to her experiences. Filipinos in general have similarities in some patterns of behavior referring to, and as explained by the Filipino Psychology. The study of Filipino psychology conducted by Mejico (2004) concludes that Filipino personality is a blend of Western influence in external aspects like aesthetic tastes and preferences, and Asian influence which accounts for the ultimate core of his character. These influences contribute to the positive generalization that Filipinos are caring, loving, compassionate and emphatic in nature. It is the

Trait theories assume people have many traits that are continuing qualities that individuals have in different amounts. Allport’s theory suggests that there are 3 main traits: central, secondary, and cardinal. A central trait is a characteristic that controls and organizes behavior in various situations. A secondary trait can be described as a preference and is specific to certain situations. A cardinal trait is very general and pervasive. It is so pervasive that an individual is governed by it and it dictates everything a person does.

It is in these actions that the character’s traits are established. It is in this that we, the readers, get to “see” what kind of character thee people are: friendly, sad, nosey, love-struck, adventurous, etc. When we discuss characters in literature, poetry, and even film, we often describe them in terms of their character traits, descriptive adjectives that define the specific qualities of the character. The author/ poet/ director may present this directly, but often times, they show us this in action. Our job as readers/ viewers is to draw conclusions about the character’s traits (infer them). Below is a list of ways we can determine the traits of the character we are studying:

Personality can be defined as patterns of a person's thoughts, feelings and behaviors in various situations. In its most basic form personality is attitude, values and interests. Personality traits can also be known as behavioral differences. Understanding and appreciating the diverse personalities of others can help people to interact and know why one person might act or respond in a certain way. This appreciation of personality diversity gives respect to the quirks and differences of individuals therefore respecting these differences as strengths.

The Philippines have various cultures because it was colonized by different countries which influenced most of the cultures. From what I experienced people in the Philippines are always open. They always have a warm welcome whenever they meet new people, they are always open to making new friends from what I have experienced. I think there is racism in the Philippines but I have never seen it or I have not experienced it. The people I associated with are not racist, they were very open, whenever there is someone that is not the same race. When it comes to families, our families treat each other like relatives and we trust each other. I grew up with Filipino and a little bit of Portuguese culture since my dad was Portuguese. I say that because there are some things we do differently and how my dad acts or protects us. We had the opportunity to socialize with people in our neighborhoods, we would always play outside like tagu taguan, agawan base, patintero and more. Tagu Taguan is a Filipino version of hide and seek, agawan base is basically there are two teams who has their own bases and

Character trait is a tendency to behave in a certain way in certain circumstance. Character traits can dispose us towards moral and immoral behaviour. Character traits define a person's character. Character is a collection or perhaps systems of character traits as they appear to any given person. A person who posses the individual traits of honesty, integrity, humility, and self respect posses an overall character that is constituted by these dispositions. Officers should possess the character of honest, but some officers are dishonest . Some even lie under oath. Lawyers should not be fraudulently, they should not over charge people. Correction officer should act in good moral character act in good character officers are held accountable for

The Filipino and Japanese immigrant to the United States in the 19th century. There are different push and pull factor that brought these ethnic group out of their country and move to the united states. The main reason that these ethnic group move out their country was searching for the “American Dream” which give them the opportunity for a better life, education, and wealth. Both Filipino and Japanese was the first group that came to Hawaii to work during the popularity production of sugar and agricultural in the mainland. They face discrimination and low-wages job with no benefits. However, they brought their own culture and skill to the United States which make difficult for them to adapt into the American culture. Although the Filipino and Japanese immigrant have the same common experiences coming to the unites states. There are some highlight similarities and difference between these two ethic.

When I first arrived at the Filipino Hall, I was really nervous to go in. I have my own fear of going into new places so I took this opportunity to embrace my fear and I also knew I was going to meet some friends inside. When I went into the hall, it was decorated beautifully with bright

Over the last month I have had the opportunity to spend time with some friends of our family. The culture in which I had the privilege was the Philippine Culture in Hercules, California, where the entire town is predominantly Filipino. The culture is rich in heritage and tradition as will be expressed throughout the remainder of this essay.

Our country is rich in culture; the occupation of the Spanish, the American, and the Japanese gave the Philippines its diverse and unique culture. This exceptional culture we have in our country has produced numerous brilliant individuals, who up to this day are still well recognized. So it is safe to say that part of the reason why they became who they were is because of their culture; because of our culture. (Ong, 2011)

I was raised in the Philippines and I would say that with regard to the concept of being on time, Filipinos often come late when meeting a friend; however, Filipinos are mostly on time when it comes to business matters. Generally, it is common for Filipinos to shake hands with both men and women, and sometimes with a little head bow and a smile when meeting or greeting a person and when saying goodbye at any social occasions or professional meetings. However, “in my generation” when a man meets a woman, they usually wait for the women to extend or to offer their hand first for them to shake hands. Moreover, touching, hugging, and kissing on the cheeks when meeting or greeting a person for the first time are not taken well by most traditional Filipinos, like me. I perceive it as being disrespectful or ill-mannered. Also, maintaining a certain amount of physical space between the other person and making eye contact during the face to face conversation or when meeting a person, especially in a professional settings is very important because this is a sign of respect, but not creepy staring because this is considered rude. However, some young Filipinos refuse to make eye contact simply because they feel shy. To conclude, non-verbal messages are easily misconstrued, such as raising eyebrows and pointing with lips.

Tracking Traits is important because traits are what reveal who we are as people. We all come in different shapes, sizes, personalities, and backgrounds. If we did not have traits we would all just be robots and our lives would be worthless. My hypothesis is what types of traits do we all have make us similar or different.
