Why is it important to maintain national identity in the age of

globalization?

It is important to maintain national identity in the age of

globalization for us to know who are we talking with, national identity is all
about the identity of a person, its culture and beliefs. As time goes by
globalization is part of it which means we need to maintain national identity
because the global interactions are increasing and has caused a growth in
international trade and the exchange of ideas and culture which means we
should have our own national identity for us to have a better understanding with
the other foreign people and the people we interacted with.

included this information to
emphasize to the readers the role
of oral literature, specifically
epics, in performing cultural
identities. This information helps
me understand why the author
asserts the idea that oral
literature translated in Filipino
language can serve as our cultural
bridge to other ASEAN nations.
 Author’s Purpose: to inform
Details: The cultural legacy
that oral literature
representsdemands to be
incorporated into
the literary componentof the
curriculum for
Philippine schools.
Author’s Purpose: to persuade
Details: it must be noted
that, traditionally, the
language of research in the
Philippine academe is
English. This already poses a
problem in the proper
contextualization of a
literary work which is
intricately woven into the
cultural fabric of the
community.
Author’s Purpose: to inform
Details: With English as the
medium of instruction in the
Philippine educational
system, the likelihood is
remote that pleasurable
translations of Filipino oral
lore will form part of the
literature our students are
taught to appreciate.
My evaluation: the author put
this information or us to know
that our ancestors are the ones
who help us what we have now.
The different languages that we
have know until this day is
because of the legacy from our
ancestors.
My evaluation: the author
wants the reader to know that
English is part in literature. It
help me understand that we
should learn English language
for us not to get behind in time
and also or us to learn lots of
things such as cultures, beliefs,
and social meaning.
My evaluation: author
wants to inform that even
English is the international
language nowadays, Filipino
language is still part of the
literature which helps me
understand that whatever
language that we had, we
will still look back on what
we have.

Do you think recovering our oral literature through our national language

Yes, because it is our national language and it will benefit of
lots of Filipinos because they will understand what literature really

we will understand every important detail of literature and we can
use this as our weapon in the era globalization.
