everything that is involved in the production, communication of, and teaching about that
knowledge.

B. In three sentences, Explain what you understand by the definition in your own
words. State also your reason why you think your choice is the best definition for
the term history.

Based on what i read history is the bodies of our knowledge or everything, some of our
history that we read is the answer of what are we facing now, because of the history we
learn many things and history help us in our daily lives. We are great because we live in
this era, where in we are free to do what we want. History is very helpful in everyone, if
we really study on it we have many things to learn and we can use it in our life.

I think this is the best definition of history because this is real definition for me. I
remember when i was a grade 12 student we have a subject Philosophy and when we
talk about the history this is the definition that our teacher given. Because i believe that
history is teaching about knowledge.

C. Describe in one paragraph who do you think is the Filipino, living or dead, who
has done the most heroic deed for our country. In your explanation, explain why
do you think the Filipino you have chosen is a hero.

I think the most heroic person for our country is Mr. Ferdinand E. Marcos. Because
martial law gave Ferdinand E. Marcos extraordinary legislative as well as executive
powers, he was eventually able to expand the influence of his cronies, who quickly
establish monopolies within the Philippine economy, in a strategy for economic control
which would eventually come to be called "crony capitalism. I know there are some
Filipinos who are angry on Mr. Ferdinand E. Marcos because of his attitude in his
management but we cannot deny that because of his knowledge and strategy in his
time we have a lot of things that we need to thanks for him, like what he did in manila in
other places to be look civilized. Marcos is one of the reasons why is Philippines is
looks great. I don’t really know what is going on, In his management but I know is he is
the best president in our country.
