Deepening
1. The status in life of a person in a society must be given important and we
should not oppress the people and take advantage by neglecting our
responsibility to our fellowmen. We should not set a barrier between social
classes and give equal opportunity to each and every one of us.
2. We should also be aware of whats happening in the society and to fight for
what is right and just for the people. Be responsible with your actions and
love the country as well because it is where all starts. We also have the
constitutional right to be aware of the transparency of the government
projects.
3. We should exercise our rights to look and be aware of the governments
project and responsibilities for us for when we stop on caring to our country,
we will then suffer the consequences of their sin to harbor the peoples
money
4. Corrupt people will definitely have a corrupt government therefore everything
starts from its people. Educating the people to know more about their
government is essential especially in times of election where people tend to
neglect the proper way to vote. Uneducated voters results to populist
politicians and corrupt government officials.
5. We should not be self centered on our goals and aspirations in life for we are
not alone and this planet and we have an obligation for each individual and to
participate for the countrys status. We must not take advantage of the power
that is given to us and not neglect our responsibility to our fellow
countrymen.
6. If you would act according to what is right, you will definitely pass through
the right path and eventually everything will follow even the government. For
the change of country starts with its people and as a democratic country, we
have the power to change the Socio political stability of our country
Synthesis
Structural violence is something that can be avoided if we are just cautious
and responsible with our actions
