Keeping In Mind Our Mother Tongue

                     Our mother tongue is the dialect we use to speak since we were young. Every country has many dialects which distinguishes the tribes, regions and country a person basically belonged.
                     Today's civilized world people tend to travel to places for a better opportunity of earning a living. Oftentimes, people who are migrating to other places stays there for long and have to adjust with the people around them. Learning other dialects or languages is necessary for better understanding between people in a certain place. However, we must not forget our native tongue which remind us of our identity. Wherever we maybe, we must remember that someday, somehow we will always comeback to where we came from. If not, we can always meet a "kababayan" and it would be a shame on our selves if we speak to them in other dialect or language because we forgot our mother tongue. In such case, we have made our selves strangers to our own place and people.

No to Discrimination

                   Equal right and equal opportunity is a privilege to be given by everyone with out discrimination. Discrimination or inequality is widely practiced in almost  all aspect of life. To cite some of these,we try to look back on example of social, spiritual, and political discrimination in the history of man.
                    There was a discrimination between men and women where women are considered to be weak and less intelligent than men. Hence, they were confined doing the household chores and were not even allowed to join in political affairs. During the colonization period, racial discrimination was also very evident as well as between the rich and the poor. The white race being considered as more superior than the brown and black raise. This led to widespread slavery of the inferior race across the globe. As to the spiritual aspect, a major example of discrimination is the massive execution of Christians by the Roman tyrants in ancient times. For the political aspect, government is controlled by dynasties and royal blood. Ordinary citizens were not given much power over their rulers. Now-a days, there is still a discrimination but the impact to ones life is not as harsh as the older days. Women are now equal in power with men in terms of family and political affairs. Position in government, whether elected or appointed is open to rich and poor. We are also enjoying our freedom on our beliefs with out fear of being executed or outcast.
                        Living in a world where people have equal right and equal opportunity is compared to a paradise. How could this not be so when people gets justice for their oppressions no matter who they are and people get a chance to live a decent life. After all, everyone deserves a fair treatment.
