Culture in Japan & Philippines

In Japan, Japanese citizens bow to their elders to show respect. Bowing is a sign to

show respect, greetings or to apologise. Another thing is greeting is very important to them

they greet each other depending on the time. They greet each other like ‘I’m home’ and

‘Welcome back!’ when dealing with their families at home. In the Philippines, close friends hugs

and kiss (Beso-beso) when they greet one another while close male friends may hug each other

and tap their backs or just by a handshakes. We smile and wave at other people whenever we

greet them. In greeting our elders here in the Philippines, we usually lay our forehead in the

back of the hand of our elders to show respect. It is also use when parents arrived home to

show respect.

In greeting with names, Japanese citizens call each other with their last names while

adding suffixes like ‘-kun’ and ‘-san’until they are allowed to call them by their first names.

While in the Philippines, we use Mr., Ms., Mrs. + their surname in adressing until they are

allowed to call them by their name or nickname.

all we can until we are satisfied.

In Japanesse marriage, they wear Kimono, for the bride, and Hakama, for the groom

since it’s their traditional outfits.Lastly, Traditional Japanese weddings are held in the Shinto

Shrines with a Shinto priest leading it. In Philippines, weddings are held like the modern

western style weddings. The bride and groom wear the common wedding gown and suit. Lastly,

weddings are held in a church lead by a Christian priest since most of the Filipinos are

Christians.

Research more of  globalization , was this just recently? Explain.

Globalization is the process of interaction and integration among countries, which leads to the

emergence of a global community. It is a process that has occurred in the last few centuries and

it has led to many changes in our lives. The factors of globalization are technology, trade,

finance, migration, culture and religion. The first factor is technology. Technology is an

important part of globalization because it allows people to communicate with each other easily

and they can do business anywhere in the world. For example, telephones have made

communication easier between different countries as now people can talk to each other even if

they are miles apart from each other. Globalization has also led to more technological

advancements such as computers which have helped businesses run efficiently because they

can be connected across the world so that everyone can work together at any time without

having to worry about time differences or working hours (Baldwin & Baldwin 2). Another

example is internet which has made communication easier between different countries as

people can send emails or messages on social media sites like Facebook or Whatsapp etc.

Globalization also means more trade between different countries because now goods from one

country can be sold in another country easily without having to go through middlemen who

used to.

What makes a person a Filipino? If a person has Filipino parents but was born in another

country, is he/she still Filipino? What about if a person with foreign parents was born and

raised in the Philippines? Is he/she Filipino? Explain your reasoning.

Filipino is a nationality, not a race, and it is an identity that is born with the culture and

traditions of the Philippines. Being Filipino is being proud of your origin and culture, history, and

traditions. Being Filipino does not mean that you have to be of pure blood or even speak

Tagalog fluently, it simply means that you were born in the Philippines. The most important

thing about being Filipino is knowing where your roots come from, learning about our history

and our heroes so we can feel proud of who we are as Filipinos because they are all part of us

as Filipinos today. If a person has Filipino parents but was born in another country, is he/she

still Filipino. Yes, because he/she parent is pure blood Filipino. Even if she/he was born in other

country, she/he is still a filipino because of his/her blood. If a person with foreign parents was

born and raised in the Philippines she/he is not a Filipino because their foreign parents and

he/she does not have a Filipino blood. all part of us as Filipinos today.
