Real people, real change

These politicians can possibly be a starting group for a country wide organization outside of traditional political parties. Grassroots unification is possible with the use of modern cellphones, e-mails and internet available now. The foundation and unconventional manner that President elect Obama's campaign in the US started with the use of these advantages. Start the power of free and independent political changes from the where outside and bottom parts of the silent majority. If hope we find a way for an independent movement where the choice and power of decision is detached from the conventional seat of corruption, those trapos and their stinking and wicked design of entrapping the future of real Filipinos.

It is always good to know that there are still good men and women seated in the government. And also, that the country is still producing such talented journalists like yourself. This article is articulate and very well-written. Thank you.

so,saan sa akala natin kumukuha si President Obama ng inspirasyon at lakas...narinig natin at napanood ang mga nagdarasal,marami ang umiiyak pa nga at marahil kahit tayo e nadala din,ako alam ko e ganon din,kaya lang e siguro dapat e matutunan nating 'makinig' sa mga direksyon na tinatanggap natin,kung meron man at pati na ang paraan kung paano tayo nagdarasal at kung alin at ano ang ating pinagmumunihan,sa daily Word natin mula sa mga Pagbasa sa ating Simbahan e isang pinaka-magandang gabay sa ating mga pagmumuni.'Sa isang headline sa newspaper dito e,yung mga hindi na naniniwala sa Diyos e iisang isyu daw lang ang pinagkakasunduan,'yung walang Diyos.' dahil sila mismo e hindi magka-sundo kung paanong kampanya o kung paano sila lalabas upang ikalat iyong kanilang paniniwala,na walang Diyos.Nakakatuwa at nakapag-iisip ano po? So siguro e ganon din ang iba na iba naman ang paniniwala o pinaniniwalaan. At ngayon e iba-iba ang mga opinyon na mababasa o maririnig natin sa mga ginawa ni Pangulong Obama o ng mga taong naghanda ng kanyang inagurasyon pero syempre me say siya,o yun talaga ang gusto niyang mangyari.Parang tagalog at inglis yan,patuloy pa rin ang debate o umi-inog pa rin.Ang importante e yung laman ng mga sinasabi,kahit anong wika pa,..."sa blog,boses maririnig"

I got the same vibes from president Obama. While his speeches were moving, what struck me most about him was his down-to-earth nature and the air of "substance" he carried. By comparison, Bush and Arroyo feel like empty shells.

The Asch Effect in our society

If you haven’t had the chance to read Solomon Asch’s theory of conformity, I suggest that you read it. It was part of my lesson when I was in college. I still remember how my professor applied it in our experience as a people. I want to highlight some of the lessons I learned which I am sure would be an eye-opener especially to those who push for a change in our society.

Imagine yourself in the following situation: you were asked to take part in a psychology experiment together with five other subjects who, not known to you, are confederates of the experimenter. The experimenter shows two cards- one card contains one vertical line and the other card contains three vertical lines of varying length. The experimenter would ask which of the three lines on the card matches the sample line on the other card. The five confederates, as per arrangement, unanimously make incorrect responses by choosing the wrong line. You, the subject know that they are wrong in their responses but you are also aware that they have given the same answer. What would you do when you are asked by the experimenter? Would you say that they are wrong? Would you give the same incorrect answer? Would you go along with them? Or would you trust your perception and stick to your guns?

Asch said that more often than not, group pressure does not affect our perceptions but it affects our behavior. This means that you as a subject, without any hint of disapproval, go along with the group even when you know that their choice was erroneous. You don’t want to be different from the group. The reason is simple: you want to be “in” with the group, you don’t wish to be desolated from the group even when they make the mistaken choice. This goes to show how strong group pressure can be that sometimes we don’t trust ourselves, our judgment and allow others to make faulty judgment for us.

There is some evidence in our society that supports this view of Asch. Because it is unlikely that our leaders can make a difference in our societal life, it is likely that we go along with the crowd in electing our leaders even when we know that they are not morally upright. The impact of people who accept our fate as a hopeless society influence our thinking that our society is indeed a desperate society.

What we can do at most is to educate our people to form their own judgments. We will probably see a better Philippines when our people tend to be more autonomous and responsible in their choices of leaders rather than be easily swayed by the uninformed and careless many.

In my work for Kaya Natin!, I interact with these five people on a regular basis, and like that evening in Club Filipino when they first met, I have the chance to know them as people, not as politicians.
