Women in the Philippines

I am pleased to write a recommendation letter for Alicia Panganiban, the International Student Awardee for Academic Excellence and Display of Christian Character and Commitment. I have known Alicia for more than six years as my student in Church & Ministry and Leadership Coaching courses. I came to know her very well when she was my intern, Summer of 2011, and hired her as my graduate assistant the following semester until her optional practical training which ended June, 2014. And then volunteered

Relating to the article "Girl" written by Jamaica Kincaid at a time when women's roles were to work in the home. By examining gender roles, then one may better understand how women and men interact and how better to build relationships at home and in the world of business. At the time that this article was written, women mainly stayed at home and did housework while few of the very poorest

a nation, the Philippines is considered a highly literate country, however this brings up the question of why there are plenty Filipinos who lack good reading habits and some are even illiterate. Luz also believes that the low literacy of Filipinos would lead to poor reading skills and in turn, poor learning skills since most core subject require good literacy. It is also clear in his article that he believes that, “…the problem of nonreading lies at the heart of why the Philippines is so uncompetitive

the 1900’s, the United States has expanded their trading routes with oriental lands such as the Philippines. A striking speech, delivered by a first-term republican senator, Albert J. Beveridge, strongly advocates the annexation of the Philippine islands to the USA. The most striking points about the senator’s speech are his three poorly thought out reasons justifying Americans to colonize the Philippines, which were religion, profit, and race. The reason was for the American imperialism, which was

I was fortunate to sit down and interview with Juhi from Gujarat, India and Nico from the Philippines. Both interviews were in person and recorded on separate days. I took notes as they answered my questions and made sure they were comfortable with answering the questions I asked before we conducted the interview. Before I asked about the opinions they have on their culture, I asked about their culture’s values, food, language, and traditions to get a better understanding of their culture. Following

The Failure to Maintain Stability Over time, history has shown that Americas involvement in conflicts, proved to be futile efforts in practicing policies of attraction and developing relationships with other cultures. Some leaders successfully established levels of control over indigenous persons, but not without promoting an agenda, or following orders that were not their own. Leaders, left to their own devices, promoted the political agenda via a military mindset that did not allow for diverse

Introduction In 1904, millions of people visited the Philippine Exhibit at the St. Louis World’s Fair, observing the displays of native Filipinos and leaving with an impression of savagery. However, this impression was hardly incidental. To what extent was the 1904 World’s Fair an attempt by the United States government to justify its imperialist involvement in the Philippines? This fair was carefully engineered by the United States government to impart an uncivilized impression of Filipinos onto

Globalization affected the economy in South Asia, specifically Bangladesh, Philippines, and Afghanistan, in both good ways and bad ways. Bangladesh is one of the countries who have been affected negatively. The Bangladesh government should enforce the labor law in Bangladesh. The Philippines has been impacted positively, however they should still work on business freedom. Afghanistan has also been impacted negatively, and the government should inaugurate a free educational program for the struggling

In my country, the Philippines, thousands of women suffer from domestic violence (Raposas, 2008). Women suffer in silence to keep the family together. Violence is unreported due to embarrassment, and the thought of it being "normal" and that nothing could be done anyway. Research have confirmed that "most abused women are not passive victims but rather adopt active strategies to maximize their safety and that of their children (Koss, et al, 1991, p. 59). Men in this society come from a traditional
