McCann Erickson Youth Studies

... and the McCann Erickson Inter-
generation Study... tell us that the 16.5
million Filipino youth below the age of
21 are technocentric: spending an
inordinate amount of time in front of
either the computer monitor or the TV
set, surfing the Internet, text messaging
or playing computer and video games.

Family Influences on the Lifestyle of the Filipino Youth

parents to be more permissive
are expected to eventually
adopt a more liberal attitude
and thus are more likely to
engage in risk behaviors as
well.
* risky behaviors include smoking, drinking, drug
use, commercial sex and pms.

McCann Erickson Youth Studies of
2000 and 2005
...This generation of
Filipino youth looks
primarily to celebrities
as their role models.
McCann Erickson Youth Studies of
2000 and 2005
But even more alarming, the
Inter-generation study showed
that there is a severe loosening
of moral values among adult
Filipinos, and this is reflected in
what young people consider right
and wrong.
McCann Erickson Youth Studies of
2000 and 2005
As a consequence, about half
of them do not consider as
wrong such acts as casual sex,
premarital sex, using a
prostitute, getting drunk,
gambling, hazing, abortion,
homosexual relationships, and
suicide.

Poorly chosen words can
stifle enthusiasm, dampen
spirits, and be both
offensive and hurtful. In
short, they can poison the
atmosphere.
