developments is the impression of our actual appearance.

ACTIVITY 1

Research Paper

Make a research on the role of Filipino consumer culture to Filipino self and
identity.

Consumer behavior has affected Filipinos' self identity. Consumer behavior refers the
study on how people mentally, physically or emotionally react or respond on different
products and services. Self-identity refers to the overall perception of oneself in relation
to the society someone belongs to.

The Filipino people's buying behavior has become highly dependent on vanity and
materialism nowadays. This means that more people would more likely buy products as
long as these have higher aesthetic value and "better" than what others are using. An
example of this phenomenon is investing more on top-rated yet very expensive gadgets
as opposed choosing more functional ones. People buy products based on the physical
aspects and not by the content. Another example of this is parents opting to buy formula
milk brand A because it is simply much more expensive than brand B when in fact the
nutritional value of both is just the same. These characteristics of Filipino consumers
lead to higher spending on disposable income and not being able to save money
anymore. Expensive products like cars and gadgets also need higher maintenance
which means consumers end up spending even more than what they originally
planned.

In my own opinion, Filipino consumers' buying habits have to be remodeled. I am also

guilty of this unhealthy behavior and I think people's perception on products have to
change.

you need for your life. It's what's going on with life: discovering your motivation and
finishing by living it.

encountered to lose in a contest. At that point, I wanted to do it all alone and I can
execute well. I looked exceptionally high to myself, I didn't understand that time that
there's other and numerous individuals who are more astounding and extraordinary than

way in which we respond to life's acceptable and terrible occasions. Tolerating
that we are related with a more noticeable source gives importance and
substance to our lives. Moreover, what we acknowledge about ourselves will
finally impact our sureness and certainty

Taking everything into account, tolerating on higher being makes me unobtrusive and
secure all the while. Understanding that there is someone or something above us,

being right rather than being misguided, a voice that would guide us with our lives.

It's anything but a ton to accept that God is the most wonderful of all and that He loves
me and reliably guarantees me. Whenever I am lost, I have someone that I can depend
upon extraordinarily on events that I have issues that I can't say or share to my friends
and family
