Essay On Rizal Political Affairs

755 Words4 Pages

Rizal is a well educated man. He was very educated that he had many essays, ideas, article, and novels. One idea I want to focus on is his nationalistic ideas.

I am not against this idea but I would just say its unfair to accept this because some countries are losing their nationalism just because of this, of the language, an example of this is our motherland, the Philippines. Another character I want to talk about is
