WESTERN: EASTERNERS:
- Yes, the Philippines is a collectivist society, they prefer to impose collectivism than
individualism because they all want to help and evolve each other. To illustrate that, a
one person in family who is a breadwinner in their home that has a stable life and job
and they receives sufficient salary every month, the first thing they’d do is to share their
money to their family for its own needs and wants. That’s how collectivist filipinos are.
Collectivism values our personal life, it teaches us to socialize and communicate with
others, it teaches us to make good relationships with others, and it teaches us to meet
social expectations and harmonies that are very important in collectivist culture as well
as in ourselves.
