Till the Journey’s End (AN ADVENTURE POEM: THE SERIES OF LIFE) Part 2 | By: Lourenzo Manimtim

Till the Journey’s End

Blue and clear skies, the lushly white clouds ease,

With the trees of green, dancing along the breeze,

Of the northern gales cold as the summers wisps,

Shivering heat cracking bones in warm degrees,

Journey of the men coming to a decease,

Oh! how disheartening! till the journey’s cease.

Oh Lord! Why things should very end!

With blessings so great why should we suspend?

With bonds greater than the rocks, we can amend!

With friendships as to neverland, surely we can contend!

But in ev’ry venture there is an end,

A Traveller must face, till the Journey’s End.

The “I” and “My” by George Herbert Mead: A Reflective Essay by: Lourenzo Manimtim

The “I” and “Me” and the Generalized others, of George Herbert Mead, focuses on the effects of the significant others in the development of our perception of the self.

Mead instead focused on the significant others, the significant people that may influence to our perception of the self and how those people thoughts of us changes across the lifespan.

It is not a very big surprise to see usual the political situation of the Philippines, shown in the media are the rampant cases of corruption, incompetence of leaders, violence, and greed. Most politicians operate by their own interests, primarily the traditional politicians, the large and corrupt big political families that rule the power and government in our country. And many of these families are fat dynasties, with their greed of power and wealth they leech and drain the country of its resources. But aside from the fat dynasties, there also other ordinary politicians that use their power for their own interests. But amidst the current situation we cannot take for granted that there are also good politicians that loyally serves and loves their country and the socie...

The State of Rights and Democracy in the Strongman’s War on Drugs A Reflection Paper by Lourenzo Manimtim “If I make it to the presidential palace, I will do just what I did as mayor. You drug pushers, holdup men, and do-nothings, you better get out because I'll kill you.” (Human Rights Watch, Conde, 2017) On May 9, 2016, the former president said those words beginning the herald of the campaign against illegal drugs— The “War on Drugs”. Not too long since words were spoken death and misery have spiked in the country in the first six (6) months of his presidency— the administration has led to an unprecedented number of killings (Rapper, 2016). Many people were killed, and many were slain in this bloody and brutal war. Reminiscence of this wretched memory still lingers in the minds of the people. The rampant cases and detrimental brea...
