Activity 1 Analytical Essay

Give a summary of Anderson and Rizal’s concept of Nationalism/Nation. Based on their

concepts give your reflections, your thoughts about the Filipino nation today. (20 points)

The concept of nationalism, according to Anderson, has never been thoroughly examined.
Anderson said that nationalism should not be considered in the same way that "fascism" or
"liberalism" are ideologies. To understand the commonalities between tribes and why the
territory in the living helps people grasp our borders now, he should be related to "kingship" and
"religion." Rizal's nationalism, on the other hand, is inclusive and caring. In the goals of La Liga
Filipina, he pointed out mutual protection in any need or requirement, defense against all
violence and injustice, and advancement of education, agriculture, and commerce. It is a type of
nationalism that is compatible with a world that is compassionate, globalizing, and
interconnected. The Filipino nation seems drowsy today, which is not what we expected. Indeed,
a nation that has become nearly numb as a result of its seemingly impossible struggles against
plummeting poverty and incorrigible government corruption. As a result, we realize that it is up
to each of us, not the politicians, to influence change, so we wake up, and it is time to take that
power by voting.
