Psychology

During regular trips on grocery markets and shops, I have noticed that a friend of mine have employed several foreigners with different backgrounds,  mostly Asians  My inquiring mind asked my friend about it since, I have notice that there are a lot of them on different shops I went to. My friend told me that they were Filipinos working there and she also explained to me that theres a small community of them in our Town. I was curious with that fact  and I decided to research about them and create a multicultural study from it.

The purpose of this multicultural study is to analyze overseas Filipino workers here in the US. According to the American Community Survey, in 2005, about 3,252,678 Filipinos and Filipino-Americans live in the United States. However, this number is speculated to be at more than 5.5 million, according to many Filipino-American organizations, with 1 million that are undocumented (All experts, 2010). We will use a descriptive approach a typical case study in which the mission of this service oriented case study is specific to Filipinos overseas workers (Hadley  Mitchell, 1995). And this will be done to study intensively on why does a lot of Filipinos, especially professional ones would rather work abroad than in their own homeland, sacrificing leaving their families and friends on the Philippines.

Although we might already have some assumptions on the reasons they may have, but what is it clearly Case studies  typically document what happened differently than do comparative studies (Confrey  Stohl 2004).  This study will also go beyond their race but also analyze their culture and religious preferences, as this social domain was one of the first areas explored mediators of the religion-health association (Baetz  Toews, 2009)  purpose of which is further provide inputs on this studys overall goal of  answering why the increasing number of Filipinos coming in. The sample size will also be significant and case studies will be repeated a number of times to assess if there are similar findings from different individuals, in which the results can be, generalized (Hadley  Mitchell, 1995). A survey will also be included to provide some data on age, gender and type of employment, again to assist probable supporting details on the subject. And finally, to have a decent projection if this trend will continue, a further Trend study will be applied to examine changes over time (Hadley  Mitchell, 1995).

The results will probably indicate organizational support for multiculturalsocial justice issues and gains in the participants multicultural competence ( Zalaquett, Foley, Tillotson, Dinsmore  Hof, 2008).
