Assignment No. 8 (Analytic Essay)
Filipino Communication Behaviours/Mind Sets I Observed from My Family. And, The
Behaviours They Displayed Reflecting to Filipino Culture and Values.
Being part of a Filipino family is both favor and disfavor, I guess there is no such a
perfect family, In the case of where every group or circle of people have possessed yin and
yang, but we all do have the ability to lessen the unpleasing sides of the relationship we have
to others, by addressing the issue and putting efforts and love to discover the best solution.
Without further ado, I will elaborate the observation I get from Filipinos’ communication
behavior or mindsets, down to the behavior of my family member displayed, that happen to
reflect in Filipino cultures and values.
As Lacson believed mind-sets are pre-determinants to communicative behavior and
stem from a people’s traditions, values, and belief systems, and the shared experience of a
social and natural environment. As Filipinos, we disseminate our optimistic outlook and desire
for a tight-knit community. It's sad to watch how people often look poorly on the Filipinos'
quest for recognition. But this can simply be explained by the distinction between low and high
context communication. As well as the huge spectrum within it, throughout the world.
"Filipino Time," a cliché in which Filipinos may have meetings scheduled for a specific
time, but everyone expects them to arrive at an hour or more than an hour late, is a prominent
concept in popular culture in the Philippines, which happens to be present in our family,
particularly, to my siblings, they use to arrive later than the specific meeting time we set. This
might be an example of monochronic time and polychronic time, in which one person sees time
as a linear entity that can be spent, saved, lost, or wasted, one person views time as a sequence
of events involving many people, Conversely, while another considers time as a sequence of
events involving many people. However there is nothing intrinsically wrong or right about the
various viewpoints. Yet, it’s necessary to strike a balance and notice that keeping to a timetable
is more vital than making “palusot”.
Finding a happy medium, where you and the individual with whom you contact can
speak freely and openly is essential for the sake of the betterment of any relationship, whether
professional or personal.
