...“The Philippines a Century Hence” is an essay written by Philippine national hero Jose Rizal to forecast the future of the country within a hundred years. Rizal felt that it was time to remind Spain that the circumstances that ushered in the French Revolution could have a telling effect for her in the Philippines. This essay, published in La Solidaridad starts by analyzing the various causes of the miseries suffered by the Filipino people: 1. Spain’s implementation of her military policies – because of such laws, the Philippine population decreased dramatically. Poverty became more rampant than ever, and farmlands were left to wither. The family as a unit of society was neglected, and overall, every aspect of the life of the Filipino was retarded. 2. Deterioration and disappearance of Filipino indigenous culture – when Spain came with the sword and the cross, it began the gradual destruction of the native Philippine culture. Because of this, the Filipinos started losing confidence in their past and their heritage, became doubtful of their present lifestyle, and eventually lost hope in the future and the preservation of their race. 3. Passivity and submissiveness to the Spanish colonizers – one of the most powerful forces that influenced a culture of silence among the natives were the Spanish friars. Because of the use of force, the Filipinos learned to submit themselves to the will of the foreigners. 1. THE PHILIPPINES A CENTURY HENCE 2. This article he wrote...

...To the Young Women of Malolos: Summary and Analysis Jose Rizal’s legacy to Filipino women is embodied in his famous essay entitled, “To the Young Women of Malolos,” where he addresses all kinds of women – mothers, wives, the unmarried, etc. and expresses everything that he wishes them to keep in mind. SUMMARY “To the Women of Malolos” was originally written in Tagalog. Rizal penned this writing when he was in London, in response to the request of Marcelo H. del Pilar. The salient points contained in this letter are as follows: 1. The rejection of the spiritual authority of the friars – not all of the priests in the country that time embodied the true spirit of Christ and His Church. Most of them were corrupted by worldly desires and used worldly methods to effect change and force discipline among the people. 2. The defense of private judgment 3. Qualities Filipino mothers need to possess – as evidenced by this portion of his letter, Rizal is greatly concerned of the welfare of the Filipino children and the homes they grow up in. 4. Duties and responsibilities of Filipino mothers to their children 5. Duties and responsibilities of a wife to her husband – Filipino women are known to be submissive, tender, and loving. Rizal states in this portion of his letter how Filipino women ought to be as wives, in order to preserve the identity of the race. 6.

...of the land dispute between the Maya and the Canadian mining companies. Mining is perpetuated as a solution to underdevelopment because it creates economic and social opportunity for people in the global south (Pedersen 2014) (Fulmer, Godoy, & Neff 2008). For the sake of this essay, it is not considered a sustainable form of development because it does not fit the sustainable development model proposed by Helemore and Singh. According to Helemore and Singh (1995), for a practice to be sustainable it cannot infringe upon someone else’s livelihood. Mining, in this case, stole land from the Maya and created long term, unsustainable health effects and resource. In 2005 the Marlin Mine, funded by the Canadian government and the World Bank, began operating without the consent of the local population, which was mostly Maya, this triggered widespread protest from indigenous leaders; these protests ultimately led to violence that resulted in death for some community members (Kent, Video from Lecture: Powerful Bodies, 2018) (Pedersen, 2014) (Fulmer, Godoy, & Neff, 2008). This mine was given unlimited access to all local resources including water. In this case the state was unwilling to enforce the land and resource rights of the native population, or to protect them from the violence, with the president at the time being quoted saying, “it is their duty to protect the investors (Pedersen 2014).” This example illustrates why development efforts need to be targeted at the indigenous populations...

The Columbian Neo-Indian Exchange What have been is what will be, and what has been done, is what will be done and there is nothing that will reverse it. The incipient world as we know it has been undergoing a drastic era for biological globalization since the landing of the Europeans between the fifteen and the eighteen century. This era is known as the Columbian exchange and commenced in the year 1492 when Christopher Columbus and his crew sailed the Atlantic, exploring more advantages. Beckles & Shepherd suggest in his book Liberties lost, “that the European’s instinct was to reach Asia by sailing deep into the Western Atlantic. His quest was to find Asia, craving for the riches of Asia. Lost in the Caribbean Sea, he found indigenous people of Bahamas whose posture of welcome ushered into a global era.” (2004, p.35) Columbus’ first voyage was one of revelation in which he took the prospect to explore much places as he can. As history tells us, he made a series of voyages scooping new discoveries and engagements with the people who he encountered with on his journey. He first landed in the Bahamas. Columbus...

Furthermore, (Armstrong.2006:4) defined it as a strategic and coherent approach of an organization's most valued assets-the people working there, who individually and collectively contribute to the achievements of the objectives of the business. The term Human resource management is therefore also widely known as "Personnel Management" as a description of the process of managing people in organizations.

...Drawing on the Resource Based View literature, evaluate whether and how Zara generates sustainable competitive advantage. A firm is said to have competitive advantage when its profits exceed the average of its industry and that of its rivals (Grant, 1991). According to Grant (1991) the RBV sees organizations as a collection of resources which when combined forms organizational capabilities. The goal of every business strategy is to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. According to Collis and Montgomery (2008) a firm’s resources are responsible for its better performance while working in a dynamic environment which academics term as resource based view of the firm (RBV). The RBV analysis assumes that both resources and capabilities are important for better performance and explains why some firms perform better than others in an industry. Using RBV as a framework this essay aims to examine how ZARA generates sustainable competitive advantage. (Opening is good, you have been able to introduce theory that would be discussed the essay). “A fast fashion system combines quick response production capabilities with enhanced product design capabilities to both design latest products that capture the latest consumer trends and exploit minimal production lead times to match supply with uncertain demand” (Cachon and Swinney, 2011).

...Timeline of Architecture in Texas BY: SM Early settlers brought to Texas their cultural values and traditions. These values and historical civilization features were reflected through the settlers’ survived architectural achievements. Texas architecture compromises diverse structures and legacy from the Spanish colonies to the European expenditures to the Anglo pioneers’ log cabins. The architecture of Texas through the centuries has indeed outlined the cultural history and gave the state a unique Texan identity. Texas architecture can be organized into six periods: Indian, Spanish colonial-Mexican, Republic-antebellum, Victorian, and Early twentieth century Modern [1]. The earliest Indian-Native American, nomadic or Indigenous people were divided to several tribes. The Coahuiltecan and Karankawan lived in the coast of south Texas and the Trans-Nueces, were not organized did not have permanent habitations. Jumanos and Patarabueyes lived in Trans Peco, built homes from mud and sticks. The Apaches and the Comanches, relied on hunting for survival. So their culture was based on moving very often to various places in Texas. They used tepees for shelters, easy to assemble or disassemble for transportation.

The Pueblo tribe used animal skin or fur and adobe to build their abodes. They made the adobes...
