CHAPTER 2: ETHICS AND CULTURE

ETHICS

Worksheet 2.1
Answer the following questions:

1. How you think your community influences your behavior?

Answer: Technically, a community is defined a group of people who interact with one other and share
common characteristics. It can be found everywhere and can be created anywhere. However, it plays
a major role in shaping up the personality of the individual and in influencing the conduct, character,
and attitude of teens. Otherwise, human behavior is affected both by genetic inheritance and comes
from many sources as well. Precisely, community influence behaviour through experiences that our
senses encounter. I mean, what we see from the people or community we belong drive us to act that
way, what we hear would probably give us an idea of how to behave, what we feel from the
community we belong will craft our actions towards them, and indeed all of them matters. By that, I
believe our senses has contributed to our behavior and this is because of the influence from the
community. At my early age, my parents had a great influence on how I behave and on my moral
values, the develop of my personality is based on where I grow up and what I listen to and do.
Actually, my community that I live in is composed of people who are mostly religious, goal-driven,
cheerful, kind, and hospitable. Sometimes I always take a walk around people would just smile at me,
offering me a food, and others are busy cleaning their surroundings. From that, I can say that the kind
of inherited most behaviors my community shows wherein we have been there for another, we have a
good relationship, and constantly help to each other especially during fiestas or any celebrations that
may happen in my community. As a result, honestly I grew up with God-fearing, I’ve become
ambitious, influence me to always doing my best to achieve my goals in life, I realized often times
treat others with respect, and of course being smiling was one of the influence to my community.
Apart from that, as a child and throughout adulthood our family community influences us
tremendously from traits to behaviors. Every experiences a person is a function in their development
and general mental health as a person. Furthermore, for me the community also influence my
behavior by teaching me the reality that I’m not alone. There are many things outside my house and
when I associate with these things probably I gain understanding on the community works, teaching
me to act align with the community, and work for common goods. Succinctly, it changes my attitude
and perspectives in life. As I belong in my community I need to esteem the laws and regulations that
can make a difference into a progressive one. Generally, the community influenced our behavior as it
affects everyone of us which it serve as a training ground or a platform were we can best reflect and
learn. Through this vital process, the intervention of the community helps upon honing one’s ability,
behaviour, skills, understanding, perspectives, culture, and beliefs among many others. In other way,
a community influence behavior as the people living around us are different from us and their
behavior makes our mind want to do the same as we are seeing them that creates psychological
impact in our brain. Ultimately, my community has influenced me to become a better person in
multiple ways which they helped me learn from my mistakes, stay determined, and I’m proud to say
that because of them I’ve learned how to accept my entire self, become more open, and trustworthy
person as well. Thus, community is important because it provides individual protection, security,
opportunities for the manifestation of his abilities, feel sense of belonging, stimulates growth, way of
encourage desirable behaviors, builds valuable relationships, many factors can get like unity, and
most of all bring people together to advocate and support each other in the light to overcome those
threats.
 2. Give one Filipino culture practice that should never be tolerated and explain why.
Answer: Each country is different from the rest of the world but what is it really about the Philippines
that makes it stand out among others. For one thing for sure, I know it’s the Philippine Culture.
Literally, Filipino culture has varied influences from previous colonization and deriving mainly from the
culture of Spain and America. It is an exuberant story that tells of the journey through the centuries.
Filipino people tend to be very hospitable but there are also consider as a bad culture practices that
may happen as well. Personally, the one Filipino culture practice that should never be tolerated is that
the “Maῆana Habit” because it is consider a bad Filipino practice wherein it affects the mood,
decision power, and most of all this is dangerous once this becomes a habit in any person. It is
something that we learned from the Spaniards meaning tomorrow or later, whilst, in tagalog it is
called “mamaya na” as well as it is usual culture practice among Filipinos. Because of this habit,
people get stressed and they don't get to be productive. Nevertheless, when we talked about this
habit it refer to the putting off important tasks for later and hastily make it to the last minute when the
deadline draws closer eventually the person will become panic, worry, and possibly can’t be focus in
his/her tasks. Simultaneously, it encourages the procrastination, with it the practice of cramming, and
seldom even leads to the failure to accomplish tasks. Filipinos have been plagued by Maῆana habit at
one time or another when they heighten how much time they have to complete a task or lessen how
long it takes to complete it which forces them to work under pressure resulting to half-baked ideas
and solutions. This habit shows our culture’s lack of sense in time which is most true especially to
students just like me. Honestly, I apply this kind of culture practice which makes my activities late,
hurry situation to do my activities without thinking the right answer, it makes me feel tired particularly
if it is given long time to answer then I think it is good to do this before the day of deadline, and right
now I realized it is better to be an early than to be tardy. Conversely, this negative habit of
procrastination for Filipinos will always bring disease not only in the society and community but also
to their personal life. For instances, one clear example of this habit is doing school works that have
been given a long time ago on the day before the due date or even a few before the due date and
another example is reviewing for an exam on the day of the examination. Furthermore, as we can see
that if we constantly make an excuse or any way to delay to finish a job as soon as possible, we
might be in hasten when the deadline is near. As an outcome, we might to dread, troubled, burden
too much, overcrowding, and not able to concentrate, probably, we might get more mistakes. In
addition, this habit shouldn’t be tolerated because it may produce pessimistic consequences such as
anxiety, and depression with regards to personality. Unfortunately, it has made us become lazier and
less efficient in doing task along with greatest reasons why we become less fruitful. Fortunately, to
get rid this practice we must check our distractions, recheck our goals, note that it’s okay not to be
okay, make a daily to do list, write the things that you have been putting off, and of course take
action. Therefore, we always to remember that Filipinos are not perfect but despite of our
imperfections we have lots of traits that makes us admirable to other nations. So, appreciate, care,
don’t waste, and love our culture.
3. How does cultural relativism promote equality?
Answer: Cultural relativism refers to not judging a culture to our own standards of what is right or
wrong, and strange or normal. If we are going to read the module, we will find a lot of ways to
promote equality through cultural relativism. Apparently, for me cultural relativism promote equality by
supporting multi-culturalism where it fosters diversity cultures, dismisses discrimination, and finds
everyone in the world as our co-equals. It also tell us that we are all unique which it loves to say to us
that different societies have different cultures and because of this, we have no reason to insult or
degrade one’s culture for the reason that it varies around the world. Nonetheless, another thing is that
by creating a society which equality is possible, and allows individual to define their moral code
without defining the moral code of others. Each person is separate in such a society that separation
creates equality for the reason that each person can set their own definition of success. Anyway,
cultural relativism is the idea that a person’s beliefs, values, and practices should be understood
based on that person’s own culture, and not to be judge against the criteria of another. It is
contributing to an expansions of human freedom as well. Using the perspective of cultural relativism
leads to the view that no one culture is superior that another culture when compared to systems of
morality, law, politics, etc. One of the goal is to promote understanding of cultural practices in order to
achieve fairness. When people are aware of differences in culture we tend to lessen prejudice
between other cultures. Moreover, cultural relativism promotes equality by making a society which is
authentically equal and a system that promotes cooperation. It varies from culture to culture and
preserves human culture. Through cultural relativism, discriminate against anyone will be prevent by
this because it motivates each person to define the path they must follow so as to reach the equality
and peacefully in the society or even the world. Absolutely, it promote equality by showing to
encourage everyone to have respect for other cultures and removes the power of societal
conditioning. Finally, cultural relativism unifies people because when we are united there is an
equality occur. Thus, the strength of cultural relativism is that it promotes greater diversity, grasping of
ethical differences, believe that all cultures are worthy in their own right, and equal value. So, cultural
diversity and equality promotion must have because it is a way to help us understand distinct
viewpoint within the world in which we live and ensuring that every individual has an equal opportunity
to make the most of their lives.
4. Why are Filipino more xenocentrics than ethnocentrics?
Answer: According to the readings, xenocentrism is the belief that one’s own cultural features are a
downgrade in comparison to those of other cultures. It is culturally-based tendency to value other
cultures more highly than one’s own which can materialize in a variety of different ways. Xenocentric
individuals value commodities, style, culture, or even ideas from another country or culture other than
their own. Certainly, Filipino tend to be more xenocentrics than ethnocentrics because we love to
support the culture of interests of other countries and we want to try their life style to. Filipinos are
preferring things from outside their own country, disdaining the products and handiwork of their fellow
countrymen rather than ethnocentrics which focused on self that sometimes leads to arrogance. In
my own perspective, I think also Filipinos inclined to be xenocentrics for the reason that we are highly
exposed to the culture of other countries especially social media. Their products and services give a
great impact to us that make us want to experience the culture they have. Additionally, because of the
globalization, the exchange of products and services from different countries to increase our economy
affects what we shop at that makes us curious about others and the tendency is that we will degrade
our own because we find others as better. Forsooth, in the Philippines there is a strong preference for
most things foreign and a product of colonialism. Honestly, it is not just unique to Filipinos, in fact
anyone can xenocentric. Being a Filipino, we can’t deny that we like to be a fan of other country like
Korean in terms of K-pop with this it shows xenocentric individual. Unluckily, xenocentrics have
negative impact on the identity of others in relation to culture, cause political polarization, and affect
mutual understanding of your own race. Through this, you will know others culture, create a sign of
respect, gain knowledge, learning, and lot of friends. Lastly, Knowing Filipinos which most people are
fond of complaining, admiring others products or cultures and comparing their own from others. Thus,
it serves as an antithesis to ethnocentrism, wherein a person believes his or her culture and its goods
and services are superior to that of all other cultures and people .
5. How and why is cultural relativism a threat to morality?
Answer: Morality is a principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad
behavior. Based in the readings, I’ve understand that cultural relativism becomes a threat to morality
when human rights are being violated. There are practices in the culture of some countries that are
really inhuman because it breaks the line of the universal standard of morality. However, a lot of
studies and through observation has to be done in order to conclude that a practice violates human
rights. Anyway, cultural relativism told us, in effect, that the moral code of a society justified itself with
the result that the moral code of a society can’t be wrong relative to that society and one thing the
consequence of this is that it is possible to make a transcultural moral judgements at least about
certain matters. Contrarily, cultural relativism is a treat to morality it is because this ethicists believe
that the concept of cultural relativism threatens the discipline of ethics since if values are relative to a
give culture than this must mean that there are no universal moral absolutes by which behaviour of
people can be judged. It is also a threat to specific conception of morality which hold that moral
principles have fixed, universal expressions, and that we all known them whether we acknowledge
them or not. Definitely, it is a threat to the cultural dominance of a sure type of moral thinking.
Unluckily, cultural relativism would create chaos, possibly promote lack of diversity, draws people
away from one another, fuelled by personal bias, and could limit moral progress as well. Furthermore,
cultural relativism is a threat to morality because there are still practices that are done which really
endanger the life of an individual. Yes, it is true that we respect diversity but we should also we
enlightened that there are particular moral universals that we must be concerned about and indeed
 maintain it. At last, it was stated in the readings that cultural relativism empowers cultural tolerance,
while, at the same time rejects moral absolutes. If this happens, we are now messed up. Thus,
cultural relativism is prone to the belief that universal standards do not exist because of the idea of
distinctiveness for when universal standards do not exist, so as the morality.
