In my POV (point of view), Mindset is how we think, like for this instance, the understanding of what constitute a language and dialect.

Language is a relationship between two speakers who has no intelligibility, i.e.; Cebuano and Tagalog would not understand each other, making the relationship LANGUAGE.
Dialect is a relationship between speakers whose intelligibility is of high percentage enough that they can understand each other, i.e.; Bulacan and Batangas Tagalogs.

Filipino is a dialect of Pilipino as another example. But that one I get confused.

Without knowing the mindset, is it not possible t unite with one another on the basis of feelings? Some people may not know how to talk, or to discuss yet they can get along with each other. In other words, to know the mindset is too philosophical for me, too rational. Don't you think there are people whose sense antennae are so strong that they can unite with a person or group of persons readily feeling his or her way through?

I think this is what unites us as the Filipino people. Although not many of us can philosophize or hardly dissect the situations we are in, we readily come to be friends with so many people. In fact, even through the eyes, we readily are able to communicate.

The mindset of the Filipino people actually is attuned to others. Most of the time, they or we do not really focus on what we want or what we want the world to be, and so what happens is that we just go through the process of living, or the changes caused by others.

Yet, it is also possible that we readily come to an important decision when we realize that some people are being oppressed or napagkakaisahan. We come to the rescue because we feel compelled by instinct, by religion or by political reasons, whatever.

And so what unites the Filipino people I think is the way we feel free and comfortable with each other even without analyzing why we do so.

In fact, I have seen this when I went abroad. Readily, we greet each other, even raise our eyebrows in recognition, "Ay Pinoy!" because we have that instinctual affinity with each other. Tell me what nationality raises their eyebrows in recognition? Only the Filipino.

Any comments, Folks? Wow, this corner looks like it's going to raise a lot of discussions, ha. Very nice feeling I have. Emma

I must have misunderstood the rules. I thought one has to answer the question; support, defend and discuss his/her answer.

If I am not mistaken in my understanding of the rule – is not following the rule a part of our mindset?

To rebut: Mindset is not solely intellectual as defined. It is an attitude, disposition or mood; an intention or inclination. It is to me the entire intellectual, emotional and spiritual mental processes of an individual.

While it is true some of us are not effective verbal communicators there are such things as non–verbal communications such as sign language or body language to give an example. All types of communications play important roles in the development of our mindset including our history, traditions and mores.

Perhaps after we have given everybody a change to answer the question then we can come back to the answers and discuss them farther for clarification.

PS: I think you're right Emma this will be a hot topic to talk about.

Of course when attempting to unite a group or groups of people the call should be “Let us unite” and not how. Do not ask questions but call for it to happen. But let us see where this one goes.

Ang mas dapat tutukan ay maunawaan at isadamdamin isapapraktika ang katotohanan ng tunay na kasaysayan mula doon saka lamang mabubuo ang tunay na anyo kung ano ang dapat pagkaisahan.

Ang pagsusulong ng mga nararapat na benipisyo para sa lipunan upang ang pangunahing pangangailangan ng pisikal ay masustina bilang tao at maging may kakayanang mag isip makalahok sa pagbabago.

Sa sobrang kahirapan halos wala ng maikilos ang mamamayan dahil ang kanilang buong panahon ay inakupa na lamang ng oras para makaalpas sa kamatayan at mabuhay ganon ng kalala ang sitwasyon ang dating middle class ay naging urban poor na na halos hindi na rin makakilos upang maiambag man lang nila sa pagkikilahok sa tunay na pagbabago ang sintemento ay nasa isipan na lamang sa hirap na nadarama.

Sa kasalukuyan kitang kita at damang dama ang dagok ng sitema na nagreresulta sa matinding krisiss pang ekonomiya.Malaking magagawa ang mga patriotikong intelehensya upang makapag ambag sa pagbabago presure at pagkilos sa mga maling patakarang pang ekonomiya ng sistema at mga kurap na namumuno.

Sa pang matagalan ay ang malinaw na direksyong pang edukasyon sining at kultura, politika at ekonomiyang polisiya na may makataong perspektiba.

Sa pag angat pang kabuhayan ay tataas, tatalas ang kamalayan ng lipunan at unti unting wawakasan ang bulok na sistema tungo sa transpormasyon sa gabay ng ugat ng pinagmulan tungo sa kaliwanagan ng kinabukasan.

Sa katunayan may mga pwersa na sa ating lipunan na nagbabandila ng tunay na pagbabago sa proseso ng tama at mali kita rin natin ang mga pagkakamali nito ang mahalaga ay tumatanggap ng pagkakamali at natututong magbago, hindi simple ang proseso ng pagbabago, tunghayan natin ang kasaysayan sa pandaigdigan bago nakamit ng lipunan ang kanilang mga pangarap ay pinagbuhusan ng kaisipan, dugo at pagbubuwis ng maraming buhay, pinanday sa proseso ng maraming tama at mali upang madalisaw at makita ang kaliwanagan.

First off, there is no uniting if number 5 or number 6 includes “Pilipino”, why not just make it English only. Use regional languages if there is translation into English, to be proper all dialects will not be used, just languages.

Let me see if I can change one mindset that had been pounded into Filipino heads… then continue.
