Maguindanao Massacre

1. The Maguindanao Massacre is the worst case of political dispute in the history of the Philippines. It has brought questions on the system of governance of the Arroyo administration, nation wholey and internation completelyy. use the shots of compendium discussed in tier, analyze the Maguindanao massacre victimization two (2) tools of analysis of your choice. Explain your answer comprehensively. (50 points) The Maguindanao massacre bunghole be examined by using two tools of analysis discussed in class namely structural and class analysis.The Maguindanao massacre is not just a little killing of the jealous political clans. Through structural analysis, on that point is the EPC chart, meaning economic, political, and social, in which larger problems in this case are needed to be tackled. The main floor of this contingency is the wickedness and hunger for power and money. Andal Ampatuan Sr. knows that he apprize be in power for a limited three-period only. Fear fazed his mi nd and for this reason he went to interjects and people to ask how to stay in the game politically.After going 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 will do anything to keep their name known and on top, which entered his mind Martial justness a condition when no election can be held in the province. Comprehensively considering the facts and articles that I guide read and researched, the Ampatuans indeed were precise strategic in setting up this perfect plot, but they unexpended a legitimate hole in their plan.They were going to kill and in secret bury the Mangudadatus to be reported as missing and the Abu Sayyaf would be the ones to blame, deviation out the fantasy of Mangudadatu asking for the financial aid of the media, including 30 journalists, which led their glorious execution to epic failure. It was the Ampatua ns who ordered the act and planned the act, but the base came from a certain psyche of the president in Malacanang. Second tool of analysis is the class analysis, which consists of the GBM procedure government, employment, and masses.For the government, isnt it quite odd that these soldiery men take possession of prohibited and expensive armed weapons? alone the government can allow and give permission for these weapons to be apply or to be let loose in the acres. As we all know that Andal Ampatuan Jr. 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 correct lives in Mindanao.Another business as I analyze it, is the business consisting of the acquisition of guns and heavy firearms, which points back to and is closely related again to the government. For the masses, there are three separate groups that w ere included and were nadamay firstly, the righteous victims (the journalists, women, and relatives) turn, the Ampatuan clans who murdered those people, and lastly, the citizens of our country who were terrified, shocked and alarmed of the massacre that took place in Maguindano. With the deaths of at to the lowest degree 12 journalists in Mondays massacre in Maguindanao, the Philippines has earned the questionable distinction as the worlds al close dangerous place for journalists to work, according to an international media watchdog. International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) said the country is the most dangerous place for journalists. The IFJ also scored the Arroyo government for allowing and failing to stop a culture of impunity directed towards journalists in recent years.Before the massacre, the New York-based reminder Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) ranked the Philippines as the fourth 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 sexual congress to the Authentic Christian Humanism, explain how the perpetrators of the massacre promote or rail at the framework we use in class. 10 points) First of all, killing is a sin, for that I can say that the perpetrators of the massacre violated one of the commandments of the self-reliant God, for it is written in the Scripture Thou shall not kill. What they did in this incident is not humane they only thought of power and nothing else, they were blind by the wickedness of money and promoted material and worldly things for themselves. I cannot perceive any pleasant act in this massacre, what they did is exactly the opposite of cosmos friendly to other human beingnesss.In addition, they commanded private armies to kill innocent lives, for that they didnt only kill, but because of power, they also risked and damaged the lives of other families. I can say that they violat ed almost the entire framework that was talked most in class and that the Ampatuans were full of themselves judgeing that they can get remote with something historical and ruthless as this. 3. The killings of journalists in the massacre had tainted body politic in the country. It is perceived that an increase of extra judicial killings in a country reflects how a society promotes democracy.In line with this, what do you think is the scoop up approach to change this situation? Using the approaches to process of change, what do you think would best work for the country? (30points) For the country, I think the best approach will be the sustainable development, according to the lesson, it meets the require of the open without compromising the ability of the rising 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.I also think it will be effective because this process, according to the classs lesson, The sustainable development balances the fulfillment of human needs with the protection of the natural 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 Im sure our country will improve. 4. Among the characteristics of thoroughly governance, what do you think is the most essential characteristic our government should gift in order to maintain democracy in the country? (10points)Among the 8 study characteristics of good governance, I am torn amongst accountable, transparent, equitable and inclusive, and the rule of law. In my opinion, there is no classicular characteristic that can support and all fill in the missing spot in which the government should have in order to maintain 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.establish on the classs discussion, it depends upon who is accountable in making certain decisions or actions internally or externally in an institution. And I have learned that Accountability cannot be enforced without transparency and the rule of law. at a lower place this characteristic of good governance, I can say that it is a three-in-one holding that can help maintain democracy in the Philippines. 5. What is your personal stand out on the issue? Give your personal recommendations for the resolution of the issue. (10 points)First of all, being in a government seat means that one is unforced to serve the country, become a great example to e veryone and to be the interpreter of the citizens of the country. The government official must be selfless, considerate and knowledgeable that through with(predicate) his service, he is giving back to his country and will whole-heartedly do what it takes to help develop the countrys economy and make the Philippines a stop 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.Which 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 local politics. And the Ampatuans and the Mangudadatus have been political rivals since then. The government must act quickly and stop making this massacre issue egest away like they do in other cases. Ampatuan Jr. thought that by getting their master plan to happen, his problems would be solved. Violence neer solves anything.Now that hes in Manila jail, I trust 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 than alert and aware of my surroundings and I should know how and who to choose wisely. I will protect my right to vote, because I believe that my single vote can change the lives of the Filipino people and through that single vote, it can make a difference.SourcesPapa, Alcuin.
