“Clash of Civilization”

Reflection Paper

History repeats itself. It is a description that I always hear every time we talk
about history. Also in my past learning it is said that history is a written work of events in
the past that will have a significant impact in the present. Based on this description
history is basically a lesson for us to learn so that we can create solutions for our
present problems. The book entitled Clash of Civilization is example of the description
which is history gave solution to the present problem of our society. This book tackles
the cold war events and the post-cold war. According to Huntington after the cold war
there will be the clash of culture where in, monarchs and ideologies will not be the
reason of war. I have learned that some of the things that Huntington wrote is proven no
a days. He said in that book that time will come where cultures will be the root of war.
The different beliefs and culture which is now rampant may create chaos if we fail to
accept each other’s opinion and beliefs. Having a nation who accept diversity is
important today and this is the reason why I believe that history is the key of learning
and coping that will prepare us to be more competent and committed human being.

Now that we are in a situation where nations fight for what they think is right. We
must remember that human rights and democracy is the number one priority. These two
priorities were mentioned in the work of Huntington. In this day of pandemic we must
remember that each of us has the right to live. Human rights remain the ideological
alternative even if the standards of reason on emerging war changes. These human
rights and democracy will remain. Culture and religion may be a hinder but as we hold
same hope I know that even we have diverse beliefs we will be able to help each other
in spite of our differences. Civilizations of each country may affect their response and
based on my observation our civilization too has a great impact on the increasing
number of COVID 19 in the Philippines. For me reading text just like this clash of
civilization helps people to be more cautious in the next decisions that we will do.
