Reflection About Atneo

1032 Words5 Pages

Growing up, I have never thought critically about the state of our country and the politics involved in it; but that took a drastic turn when I entered college. I went to a private Catholic school that did not prioritize informing us on the politics of the Philippines and it made us politically unaware students. The teachers did not critically talk and inform us on the state of the nation or its politics for reasons that I did not understand as a student, even until now. Firstly, Our news reports would mostly contain reports about the weather, sports, or issues outside of the country and they weren’t done thoroughly either. Furthermore, Parents did not push for us to engage in talks about the country and the politics due to the violence. This is mostly because they thought we were too young to understand. Conversely, it could be because they wanted to shield us from the corruption and unpleasance present in the Philippine government. Upon entering the Ateneo, I noticed the activism of the students as well as the faculty. Teachers would urge the students to go to rallies that support the anti-extrajudicial killings; they also required students to go to talks about Martial Law and its victims. Projects such as a forum made by the Martial Law victims and Bakas ng Dahas were held on the 20th and the 22nd of September, respectively. The uncensored events …show more content…

Also, Fernando “Fredie” Mirasol Arceo, a former Ateneo student, was one of the first high school student activists who died under the Martial Law. During his education in Ateneo De Manila High school, he was made aware of the horrible state that the country was in during the Marcos’ era; because of this, he started joining rallies to stand for the rights of the nation.

Seeing other citizens who possess less social currency do inhumane things to each other, reminds of us the pleasure and social security we enjoy. As time passed this became unacceptable in society and these barbaric practices were outlawed. Recently these practices have reemerged in a new and advanced way. In the twenty-first century, television and the internet have been the apparatuses of choice for unlocking society’s perversion and love for disarray and violence.

  • Amitai Etzioni's Analysis

    665 Words  | 3 Pages

    Some people believe students should not work in fast-food chain because they can get distracted by working and the job may not provide them with skilled-based opportunities. In his essay, Amitai Etzioni, points out the bad influence fast-food chains, such as MacDonald’s, have on the students they employ. He thinks that working in fast-food chains can contribute to academic problems. The debate over whether or not students should work during school especially in fast food chain is currently a very controversial topic. I personally support Amitai Etzioni’s idea that working in fast food chains can negatively impact students’ academic careers.

    In the article, “Slow Ideas”, Atul Gawande utilizes personal and historical anecdotes to further strengthen his claims. He often transitions between stories by asking the audience a critical question and then providing his stance on this issue. This strategy allows for a paper that flows well, and also maintains a high level of interest from the audience. This is because the questions often cause the reader to stop and think about their own take on the situation. After posing a question, Gawande then transitions into explaining the problem through the use of a narrative example.

These include various writing techniques, MLA formatting, writing for purpose, convincing my arguments and finding and properly using sources.

    As a former AP Lang student, I feel that this class has been very beneficial for me in that it has allowed me to apply the techniques and strategies I learned last year toward more relevant subjects. Having the freedom of choosing topics to write about for our various essays made this class more enjoyable than the other English classes that I have taken. AP Lang focused heavily on the techniques of writing solid essays, but instead of writing about useful topics, we analyzed the short stories provided on the exams. Writing a personal narrative essay was very helpful in my college application process and allowed me to employ the same kind of strategies that I learned in class into my college essays.

  • Essay On Residential Schools In Canada

    502 Words  | 3 Pages

    The idea of residential schools, the frustration of students in the environment, as well as hatred for the school system would have definitely drove many of the students to continue their defiant behaviours. The fear of losing their language; their culture; and most importantly, their identity, further increased their determination to resist the force put upon them in residential schools. Despite facing harsh punishments such as a variety of forms of corporal punishment, the idea of showing opposition towards a subject that they did not comply with was a much stronger force that drove students to engage in acts of resistance than the force of fear that the residential schools attempted to inflict toward them. As a result of this, many students were able to resist the desired outcome that the government hoped for, in spite of the
