    Philippine is located in Southeast Asia, with Manila as its capital city. Filipinos are basically of Malay ancestry, though proof of foreign influence can be trailed in our culture.

    Cultural Background Essay Example

    This paper compares the Philippines and the United States in multiple areas such as norms, values, beliefs, religion, economics, etc. The United States and the Philippines, compared from a sociological perspective, reveal fascinating similarities and differences. While English and Spanish are the most common languages in the U.S., Filipino and English are spoken in the Philippines along with eight major dialects. Filipino was declared the official language in a “compromise” in 1973, but English is still widely used for business and politics in the Philippines (Culture 1). It would seem that the presence of dialects would inject an element of diversity in the culture, slightly mitigating the influence of the mass media. It is a “mixed culture from the blending of foreign influences with native elements….some of the isolated tribes are the only people whose culture remains unadulterated by …influences” (Culture par. 1). They caution that although you can find traditional theatre, literature and love songs in the national language, visitors are more likely to witness “beauty contests, lurid soap operas, violent and sentimental Filipino movies, and local bands perfectly imitating Western pop tunes” (Culture par. 2). Balancing between two different cultures is very challenging.…

    Digital Storytelling in Philippines

    According to CrisA.,Philippine folklore, as in other cultures, is predominantly about heaven and hell, good and evil. A duality that is present in most things. And similarly, it too has survived a long history of dominations and exits - both actually and artificially - despite the introduction of many religions and philosophies. It may have been due to the fact that the Philippines is made up of 7,000+ islands that most of the indigenous beliefs and practices managed to retain their essence despite the foreign influences. And from generation to generation, across vast expanses of seas and majestic mountains, it persisted, for better or for worse. and finds a place within the realms…

    Pockets of cultural minorities live in the style of their forebearers in the hills and mountains throughout the Philippine Archipelago. The hillside and interior of Mindanao in the southern part of the Philippines are inhabited by non-Christian Filipino tribes whose culture and animistic beliefs predate both Islam and Christianity. Dance for them is a basic part of life, still performed essentially "for the gods." As in most ancient cultures, unlike the Muslim tribes in their midst, their dances are nonetheless closely intertwined with ceremonials, rituals, sacrifice, and life.…

    How Have Contemporary Realities Affect and Continue to Affect Traditional Arts and Their Societies?

    One distinct characteristic of traditional arts of the Filipino is that it is communal. Traditional arts represented different views of the member of community and their cultural and social beliefs. Some examples were the rice god bulol of the Ifugaos and the t’nalak of the T’bolis. Contemporary realities have affected our traditional arts through time. When American colonizers brought secular art, commercialism became the central focus of art. Traditional arts were still preserved in some areas especially in the rural areas but secular art was patronized in urban areas because this is where advertisements and commercial arts expanded. Traditional art was affected by the emergence of commercial art even if it was the rural societies who nurtured it. The repetitive and rhythmic weaving designs were used for commercialization and tourism. The carving designs of our traditional ancestors were also used to attract tourists. These art forms have a specific (spiritual) purpose for a tribal group or community but as the contemporary realities emerged, the essence of these art forms vanished. Modernism brought new art styles in the country during the 19th century. Even though new art forms were introduced by Filipino artists who mostly studied in Europe, traditional arts didn’t really disappear but it was also strongly influenced by modern art. As time went by, people explored more to adapt to their surroundings. Digital technology (computers and other gadgets) became a big factor to development of art. People patronized digital art than indigenous art. Indigenous art were also easily manipulated using digital technology. Tourism used indigenous arts to attract foreigners to visit our country. Traditional arts didn’t really end up rather it integrated with other form of…
