For the Philippines, family is the center of social life. Their focus is on mother, who is often held in high esteem because of her self-sacrificing and life-giving qualities: she should be respected above all else in life.
She is a very trustworthy person who is close and intimate. Because of this, she is deeply influenced by her children's emotional life and tends to be and continues to be its primary representative.
Conscience is its consciousness.
It is the moral center of the home, which itself should be a model of social life. In order to receive her grace, children find themselves in a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid and must always be acknowledged.
This can be done by showing respect for the mother, by being obedient and accommodating, and by taking good care of the family and maintaining her reputation in society. These values are repeatedly emphasized, so they become part of the mainstream ideology of social life.
Parents and children must join the family and form a united group, and any conflicts that arise must be compensated and resolved. They certainly should not be brought out openly, as inner life discord is unpleasant and damages good names.
Therefore, the tension may be boiling for a long time, but it is necessary to relieve the tension in order to focus on harmony photography.
People must be willing to give to each other in order to tolerate and accept each other. Because everything derives its primary identity from this same group, which must act as the foundation and protective umbrella of life.
One of the mechanisms for maintaining family order is a hierarchical organization that represents respect for status and seniority. There is still more to this: We noticed a heavy symbolic load that our mother carried. It symbolizes the moral hierarchy because it illustrates goodness, which is the core of morality.
Often tyrannical, more distant fathers represent another aspect, namely the reputation of the family. As the owner, he is ultimately responsible for his inner self, which is an important symbol for his dignity and the community in which he represents the world outside the home.
The classification principle is complex. There are many aspects to this. Important will be a relatively inequality, based on nothing else in age. Another aspect is ethics and it is born of kindness.
The third emphasizes order and authority. Classification as a means of fulfilling an agreement also aims to raise awareness of one's position in relation to others. Such a relationship can, first of all, be deeply bound by kindness and respect, easy manners and kindness, protection or kindness.
These are usually unequal responsibilities that work the glue of the known world. He is personally felt. In general, the organization of the classification of the inner circle of life is an ethical tool that in itself categorizes and equates inequality.
As a result, respect for relative position is more than good behavior; That is moral behavior. The same is true of awareness of obligations. It must be internalized, part of the cycle itself. It should not be used interchangeably, not knowing that gratitude is a classic of social sin, fame and self-destruction.
All this is to learn, it is thought that people should be aware of the appropriate moral behavior that they express in language (mamupo) and gesture (magmano).
Moral behavior is the consciousness of the other, and in relationships, conscience places itself in the fulfillment of roles and duties. The order of the private world, which is based on classification, moral inequality, responsibility, group involvement and identity as a common principle, ideologically impresses ethics with concept or awareness and aesthetics.
People who know about others, know how to behave pleasantly, properly and ethically. This combination of expressions in key terms such as bait, husay and inam leads to true action and is the yardstick that measures other areas of life. This is the only ethical model available.
It would be great if the area around the house was tidy, consistent and peaceful (Payapa), but no one expects it to be. Its hierarchy is much more volatile and has nothing to do with the depth of ethics that the mother is an example of.
Symbolically, this is the male realm. It's about power and fame, a place of local political and economic opportunities. In short, it's a highly competitive area where you need to check, demonstrate, and fight your status. New conflicts are dangerous and confrontational, with little tendency to compromise and prone to revenge.
The way Filipinos approach the social world is ethical. It "naturally" falls into a hierarchical environment that depends on the family system in which people should behave according to their place defined by gender, seniority, and status.
