Spanish colonial policy: "Cover the ears, open the purse, and fold the arms" -El Resumen.Explain this
statement.Do you agree with this policy? Why?

Cover the ears, open the purse, and fold the arms" -El Resumen. This means not to listen to any
complains,open purse to get money and fold your arms to defend yourself. I do not agree with this
policy because people around the globe have been suffering the injustice. Justice is not for sale. Money
can buy anything such as joy, freedom, respect and even justice. The culture of bribe is prevalent
everywhere, if you have money in your pocket you can get any work and respect done. High officials are
bribed in cash or kind, which makes rich becoming richer and poor becoming poorer. It is a disease that
kills values, injures dignity and leads some people to revenge, preferring death to life. Injustice affects
individuals as well as societies and the whole world. It is a disease created by human to dehumanize
human. Feeling of injustice ruins the peaceful life of every single person. Individuals sense the injustice
in daily life, in things like the freedom of speech, when someone is deprived of their right to say their
point of view, they feel oppressed and unwanted. This is much more offensive when the whole
community is deprived the right of saying what they believe in and it becomes worse when they are told
their mother tongue is unable to express things clearly. People are ready to sacrifice their life to take
revenge when they feel of injustice. Hence, we are living in a world full of daily bloody events and wars
almost all of them are caused by the injustice. Therefore we are all affected by this human unwanted
sin, and we must all contribute to find ways to get out of it and live in democratic world in peace.
