Essay: In your readings of American History, what do you think were the reasons that Americans
did that led to our country the way it is at present? Enumerate and explain your reasons. Answer
in 300-500 words.

The Philippines' American arrangement for democratic self-government endured from an

inalienable inconsistency, maybe not recognized before at the time. Exchanging legislative duty
to those able of undertaking it was not reliable with building a social and financial base for a
political vote-based system. Self-government implied, of need, suspicion of control by those
Filipinos who were as of now in positions of authority in society. But those men came for the
foremost portion from the landed tip-top; conservation of their political and financial position
was inconsistent with equalizing opportunity. Indeed, the development of a learning center did
not essentially result in a change of the design of control. Most middle-class applicants for
political administration balanced to the values and the hones of the existing control first class.
However, the Filipino pioneers rapidly and skillfully utilized the openings for self-government
that the Americans opened to them. The Filipino political virtuoso was best reflected in an
extralegal institution—the political party. For me, the ability of the Filipinos to cope up and
manage in this environment also helps the Americans to easily teach the Filipinos what to do.
There may be inequality since we are still under our colonizers; the Americans prove that they
are willing to help the Filipino leaders properly and thoroughly, leading the Filipinos the better
way of governance. The colonialization period of the Philippines from America formally
finished in 1946. However, researchers proceed to wrangle about approximately the enduring
impacts of American settlement within the Philippines. Basic internationalists of the early Cold
War (frequently Americans with abroad encounter) saw the likenesses between US-Philippines
relations and European dominion. Ideas of neocolonialism have been connected in depicting the
Joined together States' relations with the Philippines, as history specialists of remote American
connections have contended that there exists 'dependent' cooperation between them. That's not
astounding, given our nation's lengthy, and now and then rough, relationship with the
Philippines.

The US intrigued within the Philippines goes back to the late 19th century, the classic age of
incredible control legislative issues. US maritime strategists were sharp to extend US
navigational control into the Atlantic and Pacific to secure the US territory from intrusion and
protect US commerce. It was also fair to plant the hail when realms were growing banners all
over the world. Typically, Hawaii was possessed, besides a few littler island chains, to supply
bases over the Pacific, known as coaling stations. Moreover, the US is back within the
Philippines, but this time as an ally and visitor instead of colonial control. It's for that
companionship and ordinary humankind that the US is presently giving much-needed help to the
Filipinos. Their contributions to the Filipino nation have been adopted up to now. Thus, at this
present stage of the Philippines, Americans have significant contributions to it, like other
colonizers. The United States gained an interest in our country and countrymen. While teaching
something to our citizens, they, too, have learned and got something from us.

Essay: What are the effects of American Influence in your life? Answer in 300-500 words.  *

The Americans have greatly influences the lives of every Filipino including me in terms
of culture, education, traditions and ideals. The first influence I would like to talk about is the
language they taught us. On the time they settled here in the Philippines the English language
which is the universal language had been taught in school. Luckily, having the chance to learn
English enables us not just me to communicate with other people fluently and continuously.
The ability to understand what other people are saying to us is one of the greatest contributions
of the American’s English language to the Filipinos. If you’ll notice, English became our
second national language and we can observe some Filipinos speaking in “Taglish” type.
Another thing from Americans that greatly influence my life is the concept of free education.
We all know that in our society there are many children who can’t afford the expensive
learning especially in private school. Thus, having the chance to study for free like in public
schools has open so much opportunity for everyone who wanted to study but didn’t have much
money to support it. I want to thank them before for sending teachers here in our country
before that help in establishing the free education of Filipinos on the past eras. One of my
favorites in the things they influence us is the chance to have an innovative mode of
transportation using Jeepneys. As you can see nowadays, the roads of the Philippines are filled
with vividly colored and brazenly ornamented jeepneys, and yes; it was brought to us by
Americans. The jeepneys has became the constant mode of transportation. Whether its in the
morning, or in the afternoon, or in the evening; or whether you are going to work, school or
travel somewhere; jeepneys had always been there. It started few and then increased in amount
sooner. I love how this public transportation has been there in our everyday life. As a student
without her own vehicle, this is the most convenient and affordable way in going somewhere.
Democracy is also brought by Americans here in our country. The way Philippine government
is working freely yet considering the suggestions, opinions and want of the Filipino people is
considered democratic. The Americans taught the Filipinos about elections. Come to think of
it, if there won’t be a democratic government? How can people address their concerns and
supplications if there is no democracy the prevails in our government? Therefore, this idea of
self-governance and democracy has contributed and continuously affecting us nowadays.
American foods, clothing, literature and many more up to now influences me in my daily life
as a person. As a part of the new generation, I learn to adapt on what the colonizers influence
us without forgetting what they’ve done before.
