Philippine Politics and Governance
Philippine Politics and Governance
The political decisions that people make will affect many lives. Although many people see politics as set of laws being made or how the government make certain policies, Politics really meant as "people involvement" in the affairs of the State. Others may see this as an unimportant aspect of a citizen's life. But studying politics gives you a lot of benefits. Below are some of the important reasons why you should consider studying Politics:
Politics Help You Know Your Rights
The course has allowed us to see beyond our usual thought that we are not allowed to say anything that could provide betterment to our country . It has truly educated us on a fundamental part of our society and has helped us to understand that if we engage in political processes, using the pressure points built into the system, then every individual really does have the opportunity to change the world.
2. Politics Clarifies What You Yourself Believes
Studying the things we have studied has given us the opportunity to discover our own political beliefs and to see in much greater detail the benefits and disadvantages of the vast array of political ideologies that are present in the world today. Being able to express what you believe accurately and concisely is extremely useful, and forces you to really look at yourself!
3. Politics is a Living, Breathing Subject
In Politics, textbooks go out of date the day they are published. Why? Because the political landscape changes every day, with new examples appearing constantly in the media. Picking which examples to use in your answers to essay questions is really exciting because you'll never know which of the things that happen today will become part of the political history many years from now.
4. Politics Help You Understand Political Parties and Elections
After just one term of the subject we have learnt about democracy and our rights, ideologies and party policies, the Constitution and Parliament. With the knowledge gained from the classroom, we have been able to watch events unfold worldwide, have seen our leaders' reactions to these events and have come to understand these reactions as demonstrations of what we have learned. We become aware of these stands that would help us decide as we exercise out Right of Suffrage.
5. Politics Prepares You For the Future
The world of Philippine politics really opens up to teenagers after our eighteenth birthdays, with the vote giving us the ability to change our nation and allow the principles we hold dear to thrive. With this in mind, it could easily be said that Government and Politics is the most applicable subject on offer at any school, and is a subject that people should be encouraged to take due to nothing less than the way it prepares you for entering the adult world.
Without further ado, I welcome you all to our Philippine Politics and Governance Special Modular Class. Modules are available in the next page. Don't forget to remind yourself in making learning as fun as playing. Have a great Politics Time, Young Filipino!
