ANALYSIS OF POLITICALCARICATURE during the American period

●The transition from the Spanish Colonial Period to the American Occupation Period revealed
various trends in societal, political, and cultural transformation. The American colonizers
drastically imposed demo cracyon the young country, with less than ideal results. Filipinos were
first exposed to various modernizations during the American era, including healthcare. media
and modern transportation. A more transparent and free press resulted from this.

Summarize
During the American occupation of the Philippines, Americans drastically introduced democracy
to the nascent nation and the consequences were far from ideal. This ushered in a more open
and freer press, healthcare, transportation, and media. During the Spanish Colonial Period,
Filipinos were introduced to different manifestations of modernity like healthcare, transport,
and communication.

●Filipinos from different social strata had different experiences with the post-independence
and post Filipino-American periods in the Philippines. The principalia class's upper echelon
endured economic the bulk of the poor Filipinos remained destitute, helpless, and targets of
official repression notwithstanding the opening up of the Philippine economy to the American
market.
Summarize
The post-independence period in the Philippines was a period of political, economic and social
division. The upper principalia class experienced economic prosperity with the opening up of
the Philippine economy to the United States. But the majority of the poor Filipino remained
poor, desperate, and victims of state repression.
●The price Filipinos pay for the democracy modeled after the American system is evident in the
political sphere. First, back then, Filipino officials did not fully grasp the significance of
democracy and its supporting institutions and procedures. These examples demonstrate this

Patronage also gained influence and power, not only between clients and patrons but also
between the newly created political parties made up of the elite and the US. As seen in the
cartoon, Federalista members received handouts from Uncle Sam, who stands in for the United
States, while Nacionalista officials watched and waited for their turn. Consequently, the core of

another depending on which party was powerful in specific periods.
●The change from a Catholic-centered, Spanish-influenced civilization in the Philippines to one
that was imperially Americanized The cartoons also showed one and its problems. The
enormous rise in the number of motorized vehicles in the city is one instance. The popularity of
automobiles as a form of transportation taxis came into existence as a result. However, the
laws and policies were poorly implemented. This led to an increase in the number of illegal and
unregistered cars that transport people. The guidelines for the Driver's licenses were freely
given out, and traffic police were unconcerned by the frequent transgressions of the law. This is
a direct result of the Philippine society's rapid urbanization.
Summarize
The transition from a Catholic centered, Spanish –Filipino society to an imperial American-
assimilated one, and its complications, were also depicted. One example is the increase of
motorized vehicles in the city.

Background Corazon was born in Paniqui, Tarlac, the Philippines on January 25, 1933. Maria
Corazon Sumulong Conjuangco was Corazon's birth name. One of the wealthiest families in the

commission for a variety of offenses, including murder and subversion. When Ninoy realized
that the government would only keep him alive after the fasting had ruined his body and mind,
he too decided to stop after 40 days. The death of Ninoy led to a resurgence of Filipino bravery.

Making sense of the past historical interpretation

Historical interpretation is the procedure by which we discuss, examine, assess, and develop an
understanding of explanation of the previous occurrences. Our interpretation is based on
primary (first-hand) and secondary sources. sources of historical knowledge. We review the
supporting data, settings, viewpoints, and frames of reference. Yes, it is a difficult process, but
with practice, historical reasoning becomes easier Causation (what caused something to
happen) and processes (revolutions, economic depressions, social class, race, and gender
disputes, and historical consequences (results of the past events), or numerous other themes
(creative thinking)it of body text
Summarize
Historical interpretation is the process by which we describe, analyze, evaluate, and create an
explanation of past events. We analyze the evidence, contexts, points of view, and frames of
reference. Interpretation might explore causality (what made something happen), processes
(revolutions, economic depressions), conflicts (social class, race, gender) or historical outcomes
(effects of previous events).
●What, then, are historical primary sources? This explanation of primary sources comes from
the American Archivists Society. "material that was created at the time of an occurrence and
contains eyewitness testimonies primary sources emphasize the absence of eyewitness
accounts of those events or later memories. mediators between the subject of the study and
the reports of the subject of the study primary sources are firsthand reports that are thought to
be more accurate. comprise letters and diaries; official, religious, and commercial records; and
oral histories; Maps and land records; blueprints; still and moving images; and movies.
●Historical Interpretation requires synthesizing (combining) a variety of evidence, primary and
secondary (critical thinking). Historical thinking involves the ability to arrive at meaningful and
persuasive understandings of the past by applying all the other historical thinking skills, by
drawing appropriately on ideas from different fields of inquiry or disciplines and by creatively
fusing disparate, relevant (and perhaps contradictory) evidence from primary sources and
secondary works. Additionally, synthesis may involve applying insights about the past to other
historical contexts or circumstances, including the present. These insights (secondary sources)
may come from social science theories and perspectives and/or the writings of other historians
(historiography)

Another view of historical interpretation

● Interpretations are in essence thoughtful efforts to represent and explain past events.
Interpretations include 3 vital elements:
1. Interpretations are conscious reflections on the past, not just irrational spur-of-the-moment
opinions, but rather deliberate, considered endeavors. Spend some time organizing and using
logic to explain the past, rather than just reacting emotionally to the data.
2. Representations and interpretations are attempts to convey to an audience a picture or
description of the topical event or problem. We can attempt to accurately reflect how events
occurred by establishing our version in the historical data, but we cannot precisely reconstruct
the past.
3. Events in the past—Interpretations are reflections of those of us researching the past, not of
the individuals involved. Historiography is the term used to describe the body of historical
representations created by historians. The opinions of former participants make up our main
sources or documentary proof. Without the reflection process that comes with the passage of
time, the impact the person or event had on the author of the view will invariably have some
influence over it.

What are historical interpretations?

Historical interpretations are assumptions and conclusions concerning the post-revolutionary
revolution. The historians who study and write about history are the ones who create the
majority of interpretations. The majority of historical interpretations are explanations; they
describe how and why events happened while offering justifications, arguments, and
supporting data. However, there are frequently a number of interpretations of the same
subject that can vary greatly, just like historical perspectives. Consider a key historical event as
if it were a large scale sporting event, such as a football game. There will be undeniable results
from the football game, including the score at the end, statistics, player injuries, and so forth.

The problem of interpretation

It is more difficult to draw judgments regarding how and why these results happened. Those
who were present and saw the game may have their own opinions on the outcome and what
led to or influenced it. Different elements, such as a player's performance or fitness level, an
umpire's decision, the weather, the playing surface, a coach's strategy, or other elements, may
be emphasized or highlighted.
