Western Eastern

ANALYSIS

Do you agree with the differentiation between the

West and the East? Where can you find the Philippines
in the distinction? What are the factors that make the
Philippines similar or different from its Asian
neighbors? Is there also a difference between regions
or ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines?

EASTERN THOUGHTS

o Sees the other person as part of yourself as well as

the things you may create, a drama in which
everyone is interconnected with their specific roles
o Asian culture is called a collectivistic culture as the
group and social relations that is given more
importance than individual needs and wants.

WESTERN THOUGHTS

. o Looks at the world in dualities wherein you are distinct

from the other person, the creator is separate from the
object he created, in which the self is distinguished and
acknowledged
o The Western culture is what we would call an
individualistic culture since their focus is on the person.

CONFUCIANISM
o A code of ethical conduct, of how one should
properly act according to his/her relationship with
other people
o The identity and self-concept of the individual are
.
interwoven with the identity and status of his/her
community or culture, sharing its pride as well as its
failures.
o Self-cultivation is seen as the ultimate purpose of
life.
o The cultivated self in Confucianism is what some
scholars call a “subdued self” wherein personal
needs are repressed (subdued) for the good of
many, making Confucian society also hierarchal for
the purpose of maintaining order and balance in
society.
