Cory Aquino Restored democracy‚ supported the Filipino entrepreneurs The recent death of the former president Corazon C. Aquino has made us reminiscent of her major contribution in bringing back the democracy in our country. It was the democracy that we almost lost during the martial law era under the leadership of former Ferdinand Marcos. Her role in bringing back the democracy has carried along some other things. One of this is the flourishing of capitalism back in our economic system.

human being‚ family means a lot. In the folktale‚ “The Old Grandfather and His Little Grandson”‚ and the poem‚ “Abuelito Who”‚ are both examples of how much we can sometimes overlook the people who care about us or that we care about. “The Old Grandfather and His Little Grandson” is mainly about how people can be cruel but sometimes they realize what they had done wasn’t right. “Abuelito Who”‚ on the other hand‚ is mostly about how people can get older and we may not even know how much time we have

How we look at life makes life good or bad. "Lucinda Matlock" is a story of a woman‚ who‚ by some standards‚ would have a life that we consider a mediocre. However‚ the narrator

“Who Are You?” RELG 252 Harvey writes‚ “Identifyingn the Buddha’s day‚ the spiritual quest was largely seen as the search for identifying and liberating a person’s true Self” (28). Peter is right in the sense that he identifies himself with all of those things‚ but when he looks in the mirror‚ he sees none of them. We all put labels on ourselves regardless of if they are ‘real‘ or not. Discovering who we truly are is an important step towards enlightenment. “Who Are You?” is a Buddhist poem

I have watched many speakers while in the military. There are many times that I come out of the room and I don’t remember the things that they had talked about because of the way they had put it out.
