Women, Culture & Society: ‘Spoken Word/Short Story’

“The Beauty” by Marnie Pili “When I was a young girl, I grew up with an earthly childhood. In my eyes, the grass was greener. The sun was brighter. My surroundings were greater. Everything was bigger. The beauty was surreal. A careless childhood that was filled with arts and crafts that encouraged you to go beyond your creativity. To dream big and to never let yourself be discouraged. Growing older, my inspiration slowly drifted away and I became needier to the things of this world.

‘Typical Filipina Woman’ Representation To all my fellow Filipinos out there, what does ‘dalagang Pilipina’ mean or a ‘Typical Filipina woman’? “The traditional dalagang Pilipina (Filipina maiden) is shy and secretive about her real feelings for a suitor and denies it even though she is really in love with the man.” I had also asked on my social media to provide me with a definition and this is what I got: Although, as the term derives from tradition and Philippine culture, social media has made an impact yet again, on today’s society.

Here I’ll go with my assumptions that by the majority of the responses I am aware of, most people are saying that this is purely for attention seeking purposes. Why do girls feel the need…

Are Women More Active On Social Media Than Men?

WHO’S MORE ACTIVE ON THE INTERNET? Here’s a quick question: if you are socially active online, is it mainly women or men that you see update their status 24/7? There are many factors that need to be considered when thinking about these questions. For example, are the majority of your Facebook friends male or female? And if you are socially active yourself?
