G. Discussion

The state is a political community that has

sovereign jurisdiction over a clearly defined
territory, and exercises authority through
several institutions, including the government.
Heywood (2013) offers five features of a state:
1. It is sovereign.
2. Its institutions are public.
3. It is an exercise of legitimation.
4. It is an instrument of domination.
5. It is a territorial association.

The state has four elements, namely:

sovereignty, government, territory, and people.

Sovereignty refers to both jurisdiction (the

ability of a state to exercise its authority over
its territory and people) and independence (the
freedom from external control).
The government is the machinery of the state
through which the people’s will is formulated
and carried out.
The territory includes all the land, sea, and
airspace the state exercises jurisdiction on.
Finally, the people or population is the
organization of human beings living together
as a community.

Roskin (2012) held that a state is a powerful

entity strong enough to enforce its will.
Political institutions, the working structures of
government, are important in the proper
functioning of a state. The government serves
as a mechanism of the state, through which the
will of the people is expressed, formulated, and
carried out. One way of studying political
institutions is through identifying the locus of
power—that is, by asking the question,
“Who governs?”

If a state is a political community bound by

political obligations, a nation is a group of
people bound together by commonalities in
language, history, traditions, and religion. In
this case, a nation is not just cultural, but could
be political as well—especially when the
people share a common civic consciousness.
Although not necessary, a nation can also be
seen as psychological when people share
loyalty or affection in the form of patriotism
(Heywood
2013).

The integration of the state and the nation

forms the nation-state. This political
organization is widely recognized today. As an
entity, its strength relies on the fusion of both
the cultural and political aspects present in a
state and in a nation, allowing for cultural
cohesion and at the same time political unity.
However, nation-states have been met with
challenges, including, but not limited to, the
 growth of ethnic politics and globalization.

H. Generalization

So what do you think the Philippines is? The class is now opening for a
Is it a state? A nation? Or just a government? discussion.
Anyone can answer

In conclusion, the terms nation, state, and

government are used interchangeably. In this
module, you have seen how different these
terms are from each other. The Philippines is
both a state and a nation. As a state, it is
composed of elements such as people, territory,
government, and sovereignty. As a nation, the
Philippines is comprised of individuals who
share certain commonalities as to language,
identity, tradition, or history and who share a
feeling of unity and belongingness with that
imagined community.

Okay, any queries, questions, violent Questions are catered at this point
reactions?

Now prepare 1 half sheet of paper crosswise

for our evaluation.
