Yu POS142 Modern Political Theories

Taking this course made me realize that there are more to the concepts I thought I

already knew. In a liberal point of view, my social and political sentiments are now grounded

with facts and philosophical foundation as I have realized the flaws of today’s liberal

democratic capitalist society, especially in this pandemic. I am reminded that we have every

right to assert our freedom and equality, demand accountability, criticize, be politically

involved, and present alternative policies – rights that most Filipinos have forgotten to exercise.

Additionally, while I value liberalism in its proper sense, learning Marxism also made

me realize how alienating this world is. Lastly, there are more in this world that I am yet to

discover but the lessons that I got from this course I will treasure forever.
