The Most Popular Means Of Public And Cheapest Transport For People

The Filipino people value family, religion, selflessness and a hard work ethic. The culture of the Philippines is very family orientated, and the people value their Catholic religion above anything else. For the Experimental Learning Project, I interviewed Clavel Wells and she was born in the Philippines. She was fortunate enough to have grown up in a household that did not face extreme poverty, although that did not take away from her hard work ethic. Growing up in the Phillipines, everyone worked in the household to support the family. That has transpired into her life in America, and now she regularly works hard as her role as an LPN. She ensures to respect everyone she cares for, regardless of their cultural

Under normal circumstances, New York City is easy to navigate. However, in light of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and long-term bridge and tunnel reconstruction, subway service in lower Manhattan changes frequently and with short notice, which in turn affects the entire system. Pay attention to service changes posted in stations and listen carefully to any announcements you may hear in trains and on subway platforms. Also, due to heightened security at all Hudson and East River crossings, vehicles entering the city are subject to police search, and noncommercial single-occupant vehicles are prohibited from entering lower Manhattan during certain times of the day, perhaps until fall of 2002. Take mass transit whenever possible and always allow yourself extra time to get to your destination.

At the age of eight, the rest of my family moved to the U.S, it was not a completely foreign country to us, American movies were played in Filipino theaters and I’ve heard plenty of stories about the country through my parents. Surprisingly, although Philippines is one of the third world country, almost everyone can speak English due the fact that English is one the primary languages spoken alongside

The rise of mass transit in the beginning seemed like a great idea everything did seem to go well and it really benefited the majority of Americans. Many people used mass transit as a faster efficient way to get around that they had never seen before. Electric trolleys as started in the article “The Rise and Fall of mass transit” were the start of the urban expansion that came about. At the time real estate owners and transit owners developed a good system to ensure economic development in the cities. In the early 1900s there was a decline in mass transit development although there was a development in automobile technology. As said in the passage entrepreneurs and private corporations came together and invested more in street cars these were the reason as to why there was such a corruption in mass transit. During this time Americans demands a better control of the mass transit system which was necessary and these large corporations had no interest in the welfare of the citizens rather only in making a large profit.

In “ How I Discovered my American Identity”, when Campbell joined a diverse graduate program at Duke University and started to share activities with foreign students’ friends, he found out that some disliked their government or frustrated about the educational system of their country but they share common – the national and cultural pride, a genuine love for their culture . Campbell too, from his small daily activities such as cooking hamburger, sharing stories about March madness Basketball, we was enjoying his culture. He quickly discovered his true American identity-his personality, how loud, flashy and friendly he was. For me my cultural identity as a Filipino American is a lavish style of simple gatherings- we prepare a lot of food.

Americans, again, too often don't succeed to pay attention of all of the globe's difference. The Philippines is very improper. My spouse is Japanese people. Strolling there we have had unknown people stop us and tell her she is a shame. At a jazz music show couple of decades, back stones were tossed at us. That is their lifestyle. I do not carry this

The first noticeable difference are the kinds of foods. Some of american foods are, burgers, hotdogs, and more others. Then the most popular cambodian foods are, pho, spring rolls, and rice with different flavored soups. A normal american breakfast would be something like, pancakes, and eggs with bacon. Traditional cambodian breakfasts are, pho and a liquid rice soup with dry fish called, babawl. Most americans eat steak, burgers, and rice with chicken for dinner. While cambodians eat curry in banana leaves called amok, and the most popular food kuy tieu, which is a noodle soup which meats and vegetables. Now my favorite, the desserts. There’s the american desserts like, ice cream, cake, and cookies. But cambodian desserts are much different. There’s this sweet juice with noodles that are similar to spaghetti, there’s taro ice cream, then my personal favorite is the mochi ice creams. They are shaped in a circle, with dough wrapped around the ice cream.

In her article, “Americans Have a Different Attitude”, the author Yen Le Espiritu presents the issue of immigrant groups, such as the Filipinos as viewing the United States as in immoral and untraditional state that has lost sense of it’s moral values. The author begins narrating the responses she got from interviews she conducted within the Filipino community, located in San Diego, California. Many of these Filipino homes live their lives through the scope of “the Filipino Way”, which unlike Americans, means that they value their families, hard work, commitment, marriage and purity through sexual desires. Yen Le explains her findings and continue explaining how there were commonly found notions of social ideals and harsh judgement against the American individual lifestyle

They were known as a common wealth nation that was loosely part of the U.S. Empire. In fact, the immigration process for Filipino citizens was much simpler since they were considered U.S

As conditions were bad in the Philippines, it was home to many and there were some good parts to living in the Philippines like if racial freedom, you were not judged or threatened for your skin because just about everyone was Filipino. America is a place where anything is possible, where kids get well educated and parents keep their

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)

By the time I turned thirteen, my mom wanted to move to America so that I could receive a better education, more open doors, and a better profession. Many people don’t understand that moving to a new place is difficult and very frustrating especially if you are not excited about moving to a new place .When you go to a new place, you frequently enter a culture that is not the same as the one you exited. Once in a while, your way of life and the new culture are comparative. Different times, they can be altogether different, and even conflicting. My first year in America was one of the toughest events in my entire life because I don’t have any knowledge of American “CULTURE’. The very big thing that I found uncommon is the way we eat and the things

The United States of America (the USA) is a very culturally diverse country, which is primarily of Western culture origin and form. Therefore, it is quite different to the culture of other countries around the world, especially Eastern countries. This essay will focus on the most significant features of American culture and identify some differences between American and Vietnamese culture. Some key aspects are distinguishing in the culture of one of the world’s most developed countries, the USA.

The Philippines is one of the most westernized countries in Asia, and western influence was easily accepted and adopted by Filipinos. This can be seen in the Philippine culture until today. Westernization can have different advantages and disadvantages in terms of food, music and education in the Philippines. One of the disadvantages includes the decrease of national sentiment in each Filipino, especially the teens today, while one of the advantages is that teens still follow the Filipinos' way of greeting which is to bless and say “po” and “opo” when talking to elders. This study aims to raise awareness of the different effects of being a westernized country.

Traditionally, the focus of transport system has been on passengers as cities were looked as locations of maximum human interactions with each other with intricate traffic patterns linked to commuting, commercial transactions and cultural/leisure activities.
