Observations

In our gathering of information, one of the common answers we found to our question “What is your ideal family?”was that an ideal family is a God-centered one or one that has God in it. One reason for this answer may be that the Philippines has Roman Catholicism as its most practiced religion and the answer of the respondents may have been influenced due to this fact. Other common responses that we got from the respondents were “happy”, “complete”, “loves each other”, and “supportive”. These responses may have been influenced by many factors like what they see on social media, TV, etc. We can also see that the responses of the children are simple. The answers of those that are older seem to be a bit more complex and are most likely influenced by their own experiences and knowledge. Also, for some of the respondents, when they were asked to answer the question (that was mentioned above), they had a hard time answering or perhaps expressing their thoughts of an ideal family. A challenge that the group faced is looking for respondents that fits the given qualifications. There are times where we faced the person has the correct age group but wrong gender so it resulted to members looking for another respondent. However, this limitation has its benefits since by looking for respondents with different social class, age group or profession, the group was able to gauge the similarity and difference of the behaviors of different people
