Reaction Paper about Dekada 70

During the 70Th decade, there is inequality between men and women. Men tended to dominate women. They wanted to be followed and not contradicted by anyone when it comes in decision making. For them, women are weak and can’t live without them. Men are really annoying because they thought that a woman’s life depends on them. They are full of confidence and egoistic bastard and treated woman like a dog who waited for their master’s instruction, obeyed them and if failed to do so then you’ll pay for it. Woman waited for them to come home in such no time and they did not even realized that she is worried about them.

The moment when Amanda asked Julian if he allowed her to work, it feels bad when Julian didn’t allow Amanda to work because I know that she just wanted to help her husband and earn money for her family but she only got a shouting words from Julian that results on losing respect for herself. It really feels good that it happened years ago because if it happened today, studying of a woman is useless because her mind, body and soul stay at home and decayed inside her.

When martial law declared, the beliefs of each family member were different with each other. The country’s freedom was lost that is why Jules was against martial law and help the NPA. I agree to him when he said that no matter what happen, you have to fight for what you think is right because I cannot tolerate people to abuse my family and country using the power as a military members. Who will fight for our freedom if no one try to rise and fight for principles? None, because we will stay coward until the present time if we cannot stand and fight for our own principles. Martial law in the Philippines refers to several intermittent periods in Philippine history wherein the Philippine head of state (such as the President) proclaims that an area is placed under the control of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Martial law is

    What would be more important, the safety of an animal, or our own safety? Each day many animals cross our roads but sometimes the unfortunate happens when an animal accidently crossed the road when we are passing by. What do you do? In “Thoughts on Capital Punishment” by Rod Mckuen and “Traveling Through the Dark” by William Stafford, there are some similarities that help the reader compare the two poems, but there are also a number of differences that set them apart for example Stafford’s poem is much more serious than Mckuen’s poem. Although in both poems, the poets show sentimentality for the animals being killed by drivers, they differ in imagery, persona, and tone.…

    In both Dreaming in Cuban and Forgetfullness I believe the characters are living in history. They are holding onto to something that already happened, in hope that it hadnt. In both books I feel as if the characters continue to refer to past relationships, feelings, and situations. Characters are faced with the challenge of facing what happened in their lives, forgetting it, and moving on from it.…

    “Yet I seek not a fellow feeling in my misery. No sympathy may I ever find. When I first sought it, it was the love of virtue, the feelings of happiness and affection with which my whole being overflowed, that I wished to be participated. But now that virtue has become to me a shadow, and that happiness and affection are turned into bitter and loathing despair, in what should I seek for sympathy? I am content to suffer alone while my sufferings shall endure; when I die, I am well satisfied that abhorrence and opprobrium should load my memory. Once my fancy was soothed with dreams of virtue, of fame, and of enjoyment. Once I falsely hoped to meet with beings who, pardoning my outward form, would love me for the excellent qualities which I was capable of unfolding. I was nourished with high thoughts of honour and devotion. But now crime has degraded me beneath the meanest animal. No guilt, no mischief, no malignity, no misery, can be found comparable to mine. When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness. But it is even so; the fallen angel becomes a malignant devil. Yet even that enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone.”…

    Democracy vs. Martial Law

    Before the Filipinos attained the democracy of their country, they first experienced the different kind of discipline the most of their leaders gave, the Martial Law regime. Martial Law (Batas Militar) refers to the period of Philippine history wherein Philippine Presidents and Heads of state declared a proclamation to control troublesome areas under the rule of the Military, and it is usually given when threatened by popular demonstrations, or to crack down on the opposition. Martial law can also be declared in cases of major natural disasters, however most countries use a different legal construct like "state of emergency". Most of the leaders establish the dictatorship instead of democracy, because they thought that it would be the best way to help our country overcome the troubles of their country.…

    Martial law is imposition from the president due to from the crisis of the country in terms of order and security. It is usually imposed when civilian authorities and the government doesn’t function properly. As a result, the discontent public executes protests towards the government. It is controversial because it gives absolute power to the president; military forces are then deployed to maintain order. The three branches of government executive, legislation and judicial are removed thus having no power. It is a means to have control over the public and used to maintain law. Several rules come along with martial law such as curfews, stricter laws and the absence of civil rights. Simplified, that means the military can do anything and no action would be taken to have their actions justified. This leads to my next topic as to why Philippines were in a 21-year period as a president and 9 years in martial law.…
