BODY
I. What is Manila?
Manila is the capital of the Philippines. Because of its location for a trade route, it was known as the Pearl of Orient. Before Manila was rebuilt, the city suffered many episodes of destruction during World War II (WWII).

Even though Manila is believed to be one of Southeast Asia’s best capital cities for its view and culture, it has its flaws. Manila is filled with crime, corruption, overpopulation, and the uncanny and inevitable traffic jams. There are many more but it’s not all about Manila’s flaws.

  • Argumentative Essay On Confederate Monuments

    For instance, Confederate monuments would allow generations to see that America isn’t “a place reserved for people who still want to spit our country, but rather a place for education that we can learn from the ugly protraction of our history” (Lanktree). Often, we talk about learning from the past so that the same mistakes won’t occur in the future. This specifically can be represented through these monuments; by having a symbol of the past where racism occurred, it serves as a reminder of what discrimination can do when one side is filled with bigotry. Having a place where one can learn about the effects of someone’s wrongdoings can allow today’s people to decide for themselves the future they want to create. Additionally, the author of the article Keep Confederate monuments, but put their horrific history on stage describes how Americans have been “willfully blind” about racial justice and that the statues could be used as reminders of the “catastrophic consequences” (Cose).

There is a profuse amount of ways in which society preserves, some are for selfish reasons but others help us move forward and learn from our past.
