Here is an entry of one certain question regarding the blog from the take home sociology10 midterms

**The blog is simply another construction of reality through language. Even before it has happened, it has been obvious to me that those who have power take advantage of it in a form of corruption. It has always been like this to begin with. I myself, have concluded that heroism is not the case here in reality but to fight with the same weapons as “them”.  Everybody innately wants to protect their interest and maximize their benefits so those who have power will maintain their comfortable stand above all other people at all costs. I have been neutral when it comes to politics and corruption simply because i have accepted that corruption is already part of the Filipino society. Now, news on politics do not interest me at all. I do care on the name of being a Filipino, but i don’t act to fight it.  The only difference that caught my attention of the blog from all other negative filipino news is that a victim is from a different culture, a foreigner. In addition, he used the power of the internet, the widest source of information, to address his message about the dirt of some Filipinos. Although everybody felt that there is an abuse of power, only the australian blogger had the courage to introduce it through words and statements. No wonder everybody is intrigued and interested about the blog since it was about time someone the spilled the truth of the reality that is right there in front of us. For me there is no sense of realization since the trouble is still the same concept of greed but in a different setting. Human nature has its flaws, desire of material and power is one of it.  Although, i may think that a society could change if it starts with the individual it won’t start with me. I rather go forth my dreams on a good life and education caring least about our country.Besides, If i do change will everybody follow? obviously no. I might even be the one to be stepped on if lose my guard. Just as a saying goes: if you can’t beat them, join them.  THIS is the society that we are living in and the blog showed only a portion of it. Unconsciously we’re battling for our lives just like any fantasy game, survival of the fittest.
