Polisci Reflection Paper
Eldrick Dan L. Yu June 27, 2013
C38
In my political compass I was positioned at the left near the center which is in the same position as Nelson Mandela. This means that I am the type of person that if I were to run for office, I would be a type of officer who would fight against racial discrimination, citizens equality, and the inequality between the rich and the poor. Just like Nelson Mandela himself who was the first black South African to hold the office, and the first elected in a fully representative, multiracial election.
Nowadays our current social economic and political system in the Philippines is not my ideal type of government. The ideal type of government that I would envision is a place where there would be equality between all types of citizens, namely: the rich, the poor, the people with different races, the government and etc.
From my point of view, the poor in the country are being easily manipulated by the corrupt government officials. These corrupt government officials are the type of people who falsely show the people that with the use of their money (which they have earned through corrupt ways during their terms in the government) they could help the people with different kinds of projects and operations that would help the people in their daily life endeavours. But it would just be an excuse to get a longer term and earn even more money through the same corrupt practices. While those candidates that have potential to change the country are not being favoured due to the fact that he does not have as much money as the other candidate they are voting for
What I’ve noticed is that most of the people only care about the money and it is not only because these kinds of people have no jobs or places to work but it is also because of the corruption within the government officers that would lead to poverty. And the money was supposed to be used for public hospitals and school and others, but instead, these officers just stuff
