Acquire New Knowledge:

A. Context Analysis
 Context Analysis considers the time and place the historical document was
written as well as the situation or the circumstances during the time.
 The two other questions to consider when doing a context analysis are as follows:
1. How authoritative is the account/source?
2. How is it relevant today?
 Context can refer to a circumstance that shape the setting for an event, idea or
statement and in terms of which it can be fully understood.
B. Content Analysis
 Refers to the subject matter in a text
 Content is the material dealt with in a speech, literary work.
 The word content refers to what is contained in the work.
C. Context vs Content
A. Context
 Refers to the parts of a discourse that surround a word or passage and can throw
light on its meaning
 Are the events, circumstances or background that helps us to interpret a piece
of work.
B. Content
 Refers to the topics or matter treated in a work, particularly a written work.
 Is what is contained in the work.
In not more than 8 sentences, provide an example or a specific scenario on how
contextual and content analysis is being observed.
Contextual analysis refers to the concept of analyzing the possible historical and social
aspects that lead to the emergence of the phenomenon being studied. It is one of the
prominent tools of historical research to understand an event beyond its face value
because context alone in terms of history, social and cultural parameters can provide a
holistic meaning and deeper analysis. Meanwhile, content analysis is a method of
analysis adopted across different disciplines such as literature, history, sociology, and
so forth, where the documents, artefacts, and other forms of communication relevant to
the specific cases are analyzed to observe the possible patterns and arrive at answers
for what, how, when, why, who and where regarding the data.

Moreover, content is the main course and the substance of something. For instance, if
the terrorist act of 911 is the content, then the world setting at the time is the context.
Content can be framed, and context is what makes up that frame. Thus, everything
between the rise and fall of Nazi Germany is content; the conditions of Germany after
World War 1 are the context. Overall, contextual and content analysis of a phenomenon
would help provide an extensive understanding of immediate dynamics and the latent
factors that have been precipitating over time to coincide with the immediate dynamics.

According to what I have learned from this video clip, the phrase "Cry" is derived from
the Spanish el Grito de rebellion (cry of rebellion), or el Grito for short. El Grito de
rebellion refers solely to a decision or calls to revolt. Cry of Pugad Lawin "Sigaw ng
Pugad Lawin" was the beginning of the Philippine Revolution against Spanish rule. Five
hundred katipuneros assembled in Pugad Lawin on August 23, 1896, to fight for their
rights against the Spaniards.
