    In my opinion taking subjects would be a necessity if it is controlled system; it helps students with their college future and lets them do what they like. The absence of control in “taking subjects” system decreases students’ chance of studying what they prefer. They have to study particular subjects according to state standards, which may preclude them from participating in extracurricular activities and participate learning they like.

    Often in American history, the nation’s faults are not fully realized until decades afterwards. There have been multiple instances where Americans believed they were acting under noble ideals, that are later regretted. Historian Patricia Limerick used the term ‘Empire of Innocence’ in her 2006 book The Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West, to reference how American settlers moving West ignored the atrocities they were committing on the natives, and instead how settler’s perceived “innocence of intention placed the course of events in a positive light” . But this concept of ‘Empire of Innocence’ is not merely limited to the settlement of the West, as this ideology is found throughout the nation’s history, even today. America

  • Essay About The Right To Education In The Philippines

    1829 Words  | 8 Pages

    In the Philippines, the 1987 Philippine Constitution declares that education is a right of every Filipino (Maligalig, 2010). Thus, the policies of the government on education have been primarily about education for all citizens. Being a right, this must benefit every member of the Philippine population regardless of their language and ethnicity. The right to education, however, must not be confined in the context of being able to go to school or having more areas and structures for schooling. The right to education is undermined and meaningless if teachers are under-trained, learning curricula and materials are irrelevant and learning environment is unsafe and not conducive (Mapa, 2013).
