'Maguindanao Massacre\r'

'1. The Maguindanao Massacre is the worst model of semipolitical feud in the history of the Philippines. It has brought questions on the prohibitedline of governance of the Arroyo administration, nation eachy and internationally. Using the bastards of analytic view discussed in class, analyze the Maguindanao walloping using two (2) tools of analysis of your choice. Explain your answer comprehensively. (50 points) The Maguindanao trouncing batch be examined by using two tools of analysis discussed in class namely structural and class analysis.\r\nThe Maguindanao massacre is not just a little cleansing of the greedy political clans. Through structural analysis, thither is the EPC chart, meaning economic, political, and social, in which bigger problems in this case are inevitable to be tack direct. The main lineage of this incident is the wickedness and hunger for male monarch and money. Andal Ampatuan sr. knows that he can be in power for a limited three-period only. Fear bothered his approximation and for this reason he went to places and people to ask how to bear in the game politically.\r\nAfter expiry to Malacanang, he discovered that in order to remain in power, he has to hinder the upcoming elections from happening in Maguindanao and not let the Mangudadatus take control of their power, he bequeath do anything to keep their name cognize and on top, which entered his mind â€Å"Martial law — a condition when no election can be held in the province”. Comprehensively considering the f coifs and articles that I restrain read and researched, the Ampatuans indeed were very(prenominal) strategic in setting up this perfect plot, besides they leftover a true hole in their plan.\r\nThey were going to kill and secretly bury the Mangudadatus to be account as missing and the Abu Sayyaf would be the ones to blame, leaving out the thought of Mangudadatu asking for the help of the media, including 30 journalists, which led their brilli ant execution to epic failure. It was the Ampatuans who ordered the bend and planned the act, but the idea came from a certain person of the president in Malacanang. Second tool of analysis is the class analysis, which consists of the GBM procedure †regimen, melodic line, and masses.\r\nFor the political relation, isn’t it sort of odd that these army men take self-command of prohibited and expensive armed weapons? Only the giving medication can allow and give permission for these weapons to be theatrical roled or to be let disembarrass in the land. As we all know that Andal Ampatuan younger has strong connections and alliance with the president of the Philippines, Gloria Arroyo. The massacre that happened in Maguindanao terrorizes to block government efforts to draw the investors to create needed new jobs and improve lives in Mindanao.\r\nAnother business as I analyze it, is the business consisting of the learnedness of guns and heavy firearms, which points k eep going to and is closely related once again to the government. For the masses, there are three separate groups that were include and were nadamay †firstly, the innocent victims (the journalists, women, and relatives); second, the Ampatuan clans who murdered those people, and lastly, the citizens of our pastoral who were terrified, shocked and affright of the massacre that took place in Maguindano. With the deaths of at least(prenominal) 12 journalists in Monday’s massacre in Maguindanao, the Philippines has earned the dubious distinction as the human creations’s well-nigh dangerous place for journalists to work, concord to an international media watchdog. …International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) said the country… is the most dangerous place for journalists. The IFJ besides scored the Arroyo government for allowing and failing to stop a ‘culture of impunity’ direct towards journalists in recent years.\r\nBefore the massac re, the New York-based admonisher Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) ranked the Philippines as the 4th deadliest country for journalists in terms of reporters’ deaths for 2009. In recent years, the Philippines got as far as the second most dangerous place behind Iraq. ”1 2. In relation to the Authentic Christian Humanism, explain how the perpetrators of the massacre promote or violate the material we use in class. 10 points) head start of all, killing is a sin, for that I can asseverate that the perpetrators of the massacre violate one of the commandments of the sovereign God, for it is written in the countersign â€Å"Thou shall not kill. ” What they did in this incident is not humane; they only thought of power and cryptograph else, they were blinded by the wickedness of money and promoted arenaly and worldly things for themselves. I cannot see any grateful act in this massacre, what they did is exactly the opposite of being friendly to other hum an beings.\r\nIn addition, they commanded privy armies to kill innocent lives, for that they didn’t only kill, but because of power, they also risked and damaged the lives of other families. I can say that they violated almost the entire framework that was talked about in class and that the Ampatuans were full of themselves thinking that they can get away with something historical and unkind as this. 3. The killings of journalists in the massacre had tainted commonwealth in the country. It is perceived that an increase of extra legal killings in a country reflects how a ordination promotes democracy.\r\nIn line with this, what do you think is the exceed approach to change this situation? Using the approaches to routine of change, what do you think would best work for the country? (30points) For the country, I think the best approach provide be the sustainable break outment, according to the lesson, it â€Å"meets the require of the leave without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their needs (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)”5 and also because this process of sustainable development focuses on 5 aspects namely economical, social, political, environmental, and cultural.\r\nI also think it will be effective because this process, according to the classs lesson, â€Å"The sustainable development balances the ful interestment of human needs with the protection of the inherent environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but in the indefinite future”, and our country is rich in natural resources, if we can only do this I’m sure our country will improve. 4. Among the distinctives of grievous governance, what do you think is the most indwelling characteristic our government should have in order to reserve democracy in the country? (10points)\r\nAmong the 8 major(ip) characteristics of good governance, I am torn amongst accountable, transparent, ingenuous and inclusive, and the rule of law. In my opinion, there is no event characteristic that can support and completely fill in the missing spot in which the government should have in order to fend for democracy in our country. We talked about good governance in class and our government certainly needs all of the characteristics to have proper democratic system in our country. But if I would weigh the most essential characteristic among them, I would choose accountable.\r\nBased on the class’s discussion, it depends upon who is accountable in qualification certain decisions or actions internally or externally in an institution. And I have learned that â€Å" responsibility cannot be enforced without transparency and the rule of law. ” downstairs this characteristic of good governance, I can say that it is a three-in-one attribute that can help maintain democracy in the Philippines. 5. What is your personal assume on the free? Give your personal recommendations for the resolution of the issue. (10 points)\r\nFirst of all, being in a government rear means that one is willing to serve the country, bring into being a great example to everyone and to be the theatrical role of the citizens of the country. The government official must be selfless, tactful and knowledgeable that through his service, he is giving back to his country and will whole-heartedly do what it takes to help develop the country’s economy and trifle the Philippines a better place. If one is blinded and ruled by wealth, power, and the material things of this world, then that person does not stand firm for his values and beliefs.\r\nWhich brings me to the Ampatuans, in this situation; it is very obvious that it runs in the family and in their blood to be a part of politics, to rule and direct topical anaesthetic politics. And the Ampatuans and the Mangudadatus have been political rivals since then. The government must act quickly and stop making this massacre issue fa de away corresponding they do in other cases. Ampatuan Jr. thought that by acquire their master plan to happen, his problems would be solved. Violence neer solves anything.\r\nNow that he’s in manila paper jail, I hope that justice would be served as soon as possible. And for a lawyer like Fortun to accept his case, proves that money is all he is after and does not show any care for the lives and victims in the massacre. And because of the Maguindanao carnage, I began to be more alert and cognisant of my surroundings and I should know how and who to vote wisely. I will protect my right to vote, because I consider that my single vote can change the lives of the Philippine people and through that single vote, it can make a difference.Sources:\r\nPapa, Alcuin.
