M3 Post-Task Critical Thinking

This document contains a response from Jean Elisha Santos, a DMD 2A resident, to a critical thinking post-task assignment. The response addresses three prompts.

M3 Post-task: Critical Thinking

1. What are the pros and cons of cultural imperialism as you've experienced as a resident of a country that
has undergone intense exposure to a different foreign culture?

Cultural imperialism, in its basic context, refers to the action of dominance in cultural interactions in which the
ideals, traditions, and perceptions of a dominating foreign culture are forced on one or more indigenous
cultures. There are advantages when it comes to cultural imperialism, powerful countries export their
technology to lesser countries influenced by imperialism. The ideals of the Industrial Revolution have expanded
throughout the developing countries as a result of this process. It can also aid in the development and
improvement of access to health care, particularly in terms of equipment and pharmaceuticals. Imperialism may
rule "weaker" civilizations, but it also provides a more robust resistance. By how the powerful controls the
weak, imperialism has the potential to reshape civilizations. It also gives fresh learning possibilities for those
civilizations. But cultural imperialism does not always bring prosperity and improvement to a culture, people
are proud of their country and culture, they wouldn't want anyone else in their family imposing obedience to a
differing view. Countries frequently battle for resource access. If a powerful nation advances in on a lesser
nation due to a richness of resources, another powerful nation might desire to do the same. Strong nations'
expansion nearly inevitably results in enslavement and discrimination for the nation they imperil.

2. How did social media disrupt freethought? (Use Philippine politics or personal experience as an
example)

Our ability to communicate over traditional social, political, and geographic divisions has been revolutionized
by social media platforms. Whereas before gatekeepers limited and controlled access to mainstream media
platforms, now everyone has the capacity to reach millions of people in an instant. This trend has increased the
effect and harm caused by misinformation and hate speech while also providing significant prospects for
democratic development of expression and variation of public debate. Current legal law clearly indicates that
users of private social media sites do not even have a right to free expression. Like the Anti-terror Law that was
implemented to protect the government from the citizens from criticizing them in person or through different
social media platform. When offensive content is removed, social media sites are entitled to do so. Individuals,
on the other hand, risk being banned from social media if they post violent, obscene, or objectionable
information, and they may even face civil responsibility if they make false, deceptive, or hate claims.

3. Explain the importance of Human Rights Education to supposed enforcers and protectors of human
rights namely administrators of justice and government and legislative officials.

Human rights education includes not just information about the human rights and the systems that safeguard
them, but also the skills needed to advocate, maintain, and implement human rights in everyday life. Human
rights knowledge is a lifetime process that aims to improve knowledge, capabilities, perspectives, and practices
in order to promote and protect human rights. Learning about one's human rights is closely related to learning
about the obligations that come with them. Human rights belong to both people and society as a whole, and it is
both individual and societal obligation to respect, preserve, and promote them. Everybody, especially the
government or legislation, should be aware of their rights since they are accountable for all citizens' rights and
play an important role in creating and enforcing laws that will make the country a better place to live in.
