Philippines Research Paper

During the colonial era, directly after the US Civil War, the European empires were absolute authorities in Southeast Asia. Spanish influence during this time was centralized in the Philippines. The geography of the region rendered the Philippines vulnerable to international manipulation and political dissolution. Because the islands make political unity difficult, they have been targeted by empires, and manipulated oppressive politics. Divisions in the Philippines cross many boundaries. Race, class, religion, and geography all fed into international politics that heavily shaped foreign influence on the island nation.

What's a common location that comes up in discussion when someone thinks of a destination to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the Main land of the United States? Normally Puerto Rico isn't too far away from conversation. Puerto Rico is a beautiful place with the perfect climate and many historical sites to take that getaway that you have always wanted. Today we will discuss major issues in/of Puerto Rico, the significance of this research and data sources, and lastly I will describe the data collected and research found during my inquiry on the region known as Puerto Rico

Why are we driving cars and using cell phones, while people of Papua New Guinea are using sticks and stones to chop down a tree and hunt?! It’s all because of our geographical inequality. Our world is so unequal depending on where you are in the world. People in Eurasia got the best climate to grow wheat. What does wheat have to do with inequality? Wheat won't grow in Papua New Guinea! Wheat grows in humid climates and takes little effort to grow and farm. Wheat is an easy crop to harvest and grow, not to mention it takes very few people to go out, collect and regrow it again. Not to mention that wheat can be stored for 7-8 months. People of Papua New Guinea live in a tropical and very wet climate, not only that, but the ground is to dense to plant wheat. That means People of Papua New Guinea can’t get wheat. Instead they have to go out and hunt for their food. One type of food that they eat, is called the Sago

The definition of the phrase ‘Settlement pattern’ is associated with the understanding of how a particular society used the available resources in its region. The phrase can also be described as the actual land upon which a settlement is built. So what exactly is the pattern of settlements in Southeast Asia?

Cambodia is a small country in the Indochina region of Southeast Asia. It is largely a land of fields and high rivers. Cambodia lies between various air and trade routes linking China to India and Southeast Asia. For 2000 years, Cambodia’s civilization absorbed influences from India and China. Cambodia, in turn, transferred these powers to other Southeast Asian cultures. The Khmer empire reached its peak in the 12th century, a time characterized by the formation of massive temple complexes. However when the Thai captured the Cambodian capital, Angkor, it was abandoned, and a new capital was founded at Phnom Penh. Unfortunately, Cambodian power continued to decline. At the end of the era, Cambodia fell under Thai control. After the Thais had

As we sat in the car, we were approached by a half-naked child, who looked like he just got out of a fight. His hair was standing up in every direction possible, and his clothes looked like they were washed in a puddle of mud. He violently banged the window of the passenger seat and proceeded to cupping

The night started with Show Choir singing and dancing to “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars. But in spirit of Improvapaloosa theme (Star Wars), the song ended with the dancers falling towards Mr. Mello as a single spot light hit him holding a red lightsaber over his head. Then it began.

Filipino club welcomes many new members each year and some of those members aren’t only new to the club, but the country as well.

I have always been interested in my heritage, thus I do my best to indulge myself in the culture of the Philippines here in The United States to the best of my ability. As a result, my pilgrimage will take place in the Philippines, but not just to go and see the sights and enjoy the food, but to find a rainbow Eucalyptus tree, “The tree is the only Eucalyptus species found naturally in the northern hemisphere. And yes, it's also native in the Philippines, but it’s not found solely in that part of the country, but in other islands as well, such as Negros.”(The Rainbow Tree of Bago City) This journey will test my knowledge of the botany and wildlife in the Philippines, without ever being there myself. As well as push me out of my introverted self, being forced to communicate with random people, to achieve my goal. With the hope of obtaining knowledge and experiences that my ancestor may have endured that will possibly have a life lasting effect on me.

Many countries and organizations start to wonder that what is going on with Philippines, and it is going to collapse from many problems that occur in the country or not. Philippines is a sovereign island county that locates in the Southeast Asia, and it is also one of the countries that locates on the Ring of Fire. In 1965, Philippines used to be second richest country in Asian, but it is currently one of the poorest countries in Asian (Cruz, 2013).

* Increasing the supply: The resort could provide more palapas so that more quests can have opportunity to enjoy it. However I assume that there could be a limitation of installing palapas by government (such as not to damage the nature). There is no information regarding government’s permission. If so, they should offer alternatives for customers. The alternatives could be canopies or beach umbrellas. However, these should be provided free.

The Philippine were discovered in 1521 by the Spanish. It's the third largest nation that speaks English in the world. The country is divided into three main areas: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. It has 17 regions, 122 cities, and 42,025 barangays. The Philippines were colonized by three countries Spain, America, and Japan. America colonized the Philippines, because they wanted to become an empire, and to expand more. They wanted to expand to have more lands, power, resources, more production, and especially more money. Also the USA didn't want lose the Philippines island to Japan or Germany.

     The Republic of the Philippines in the western Pacific Ocean, made up of the Philippine Islands and a part of the Malay Archipelago. It is at 13 degrees North and 122 degrees East. Situated about 750 mi (about 1210 km) east off the coast of Vietnam, the Philippines is separated from Taiwan to the north by the Bashi Channel. The country is made up of 7100 islands, and only about 460 are more than 1 sq mi (2.9 sq km) in area. Eleven islands have an area of more than 1000 sq mi (more than 2600 sq km) each and have a huge amount of the population. These islands are Luzon, Mindanao, Samar, Negros, Palawan, Panay, Mindoro, Leyte, Cebu, Bohol, and Masbate. The total area of the Philippines is about 120,000

In the past few years, Macau has become an international destination. The liberation of gaming license had bought about large foreign investments and facilities infrastructure. Macau, a sparkling metropolis at night, is home to thousands of overseas Filipino workers . One of its eye-catching characteristics is certainly its large Filipino community. Filipinos represent the second largest group of non-resident workers in Macau after mainland Chinese. It also becomes abundantly clear that these people are mostly found working in lower paid jobs. Maybe because the most compelling advantages the Philippines has over any Asian country, is the fact that Filipinos are competent and highly-educated. However, more

What may have begun in the Philippines as a genuine effort to enact revolution and cosmopolitan change within a corrupt nation ended up being, in reality, only a slightly better presidency in a system which perpetuated a system of inequality and ill treatment of women rather than challenge the systemic and imbedded inequalities within. There was no moral revolution, and where the attempts were made through the government and other legal systems—as in the case of introducing jobs for former prostitutes to lift themselves from the lower classes—it did not succeed in changing the moral reality within the honor world of the Philippines. Perhaps, given the formula for Appiah’s revolutions, it genuinely could not have succeeded anyway; the lowest classes do not possess honor for their own sake—they are not ends in themselves—but rather for the sake of the honor of the upper classes, or indeed anyone in a class above them. In all three of the examples Appiah provides, behaviors and social customs which were previously considered honorable experience a process by which they become perceived as dishonorable, and each revolution comes at least partially in result of a negative association to a lower class. In the case of dueling, it ended in large parts when lower classes began to duel; foot binding in China began to stop when the lowest rural classes imitated wealthy aristocrats and made the practice ridiculous; the working class outcry resulted because the defining characteristic of
