Pragmatists consider practical consequences or real effects to be vital components of both meaning and truth

it is good and practical ethical standard,i personally think because i think perception and things which are real as true,i am very practical in life and pragmastism is very practical and logicalWww@QuestionHome@Com

I'm part-Filipino!. Because of the Spanish influence in the Philippines, religion plays a large part in the Filipino culture!. Since Roman Catholicism focuses on a one universal truth in the existence of God and the divinity of Jesus Christ, I'd have to say the it's actuality the contrary, and most Filipino's would be anti-pragmatic and more apt to act in accordance to the Bible!.

I personally agree with approaching situations from a logical and practical angle rather than based on a theoretical belief structure!. By all means, hold your beliefs, but don't let them hold you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
