Between Modernization Theory and Dependency Theory which do you think is more acceptable for having global economic inequality?


As they say, it’s not your fault if you were born poor, but it’s your fault when you die poor. But being poor doesn't have many chances or opportunities on their journey to help themselves with. However it’s a choice.


These concepts have no middle ground. It’s not being lucky if the person was categorized in Modernization, since they have a talent and ability to improve—it's just as is. It’s their practice to give better vision on their beliefs and values. But we can’t hide the truth that the poor were exploited by wealthy ones. Dependency Theory is a big slap. The opportunities were unreachable. The opportunities are only for the privileged ones. It’s easy to be selfish and take advantage of someone just because they will not be against it. Much worse when those poor don’t know that they were being robbed. As what they see nothing can be robbed from them. 


I was thinking about how it went to be said as a choice. Should I ask someone about their life choices that is why ecq was not their choice? They have to go out everyday to earn money and make a living in exchange for the risk of their health? Is that choice makes them poor just because they can’t stock much food at their home? 


Poverty doesn’t stop in the concept of money or opportunities. It’s something that you’re deprived with. 


Global Economic Inequalities will never stop, there’s no cure on it. There’s no aid for people you will continue to help, they will be dependent on you. 


It’s been in ages, we ended up understanding the two kinds of people, but we can’t find how we can put an end.

Film Analysis Mulanay: Sa Pusod Ng Paraiso 1996 https://youtu.be/9Jt6ImD-z1k In the beginning of the Mulanay: Sa Pusod Ng Paraiso, the main character was highlighted, Dr. Ria Espinosa (Jaclyn Jose) as a newly listed doctor, decided to join and be destined in the Doctors to the Barrios. Where Dr. Espinosa was welcomed as VIP—It can be seen as, this can be the answer to lift this place higher, provide medical needs and ensure public health safety. Dr. Espinosa felt a culture shock from the difference between the city and the underdeveloped province of Mulanay, and the people in the community were completely unaware and had no idea how their community could be changed and the problem could not be addressed. This includes the no toilet and bath, limited source of energy at night through time she became one of them and took a bigger leap—fundraising to respond to the community’s deficiencies.  It is evidently seen that the community is dependent on healing from prayers and their quack...

Sociocultural Tradition - Symbolic Interactionism

Sociocultural Tradition - Symbolic Interactionism Starbucks coffee shops here in the Philippines show as a status symbol—“elite” not only in its price and ambiance but the branding itself while in outside countries it is just an ordinary brewing coffeehouse. In the season of Enhanced Community Quarantine, some branches of Starbucks were opened and long lines of cars awaited and caused traffic.  If you are to think about it—a person will only value Starbucks, if he/she will be with people who value it. Could be friends, parents, siblings—could be ads? Organizations or groups he/she had been in. It is shocking how many people go there. Could be how society viewed it as it trickles down to the members, how the elites saw it as a status symbol that some people want to achieve. Shaping the social world rather than simply acted upon. It is already evident as seen how those practices and symbols shape who they are as a person. It follows the trend and majority. People interact with things...

Coca-Cola - Swimming Elephant (1994)

  Coca-Cola - Swimming Elephant (1994) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4V6TUOVImg Theory: The Magic of Meaning In 1994, a swimming elephant became the unusual star of a Coca-Cola ad, which became a much more intriguing part of their legacy. The audience is invited to suspend disbelief as the elephant gently paddles above coral and schools of little fish until it comes across a sunbather on a raft holding an ice bucket of diet cola. The elephant throws a few peanuts onto the raft, wraps its trunk around one of the two bottles, and swims away without interrupting the sunbather's reading. Last year, Diet Coke dropped the "Just for the taste of it" jingle and has been gaining a lot of attention with its "hunk" campaign, in which female office workers drool over a shirtless construction worker. Coca-Cola Co., however, has been looking for novel advertising tactics for all of its brands under a new management team. Fallon McElligott, a Minneapolis ad agency known for...
