Post colonialism, when i first heard about it, i could easily relate to it, living in a country that was loaded with colonizers during the past, former cultures are still heavily instilled in us especially the culture of the Spanish colonizers. we still have spanish words like kutsara, kusina, etc. Post colonialism was basically an idea from europe, Europe was the dominant country in the 18th to 10th century, colonizing many places around the globe, america back then was still unknown. This relates to the fact that we were colonized by the spanish. Throughtout the colonization of the spanish, we have learned many things, namely our way of life and even if we chose to rebel and regain freedom we still have these values within us and it is just right that we are thankful that Spain and the other countries have a role in our modernization and proper civilization
Today, there are many degrees of post colonialism, its all around us today, its because we live in the Philippines that makes it more special. Everyday we experience the values of post colonialism, its because of these values we have come to be a more civilized and less indigenous people. Family values of the Spanish were instilled in us because of post colonialism, the americans gave us our westernized approach to modernism, in my opinion, we benefitted the least from the Japanese colonials because of their ruthless approach to colonialism. That is why in my opinion, whether we want freedom or not from Colonizers, there is always a possibility that we have learned great things from them and for that we should always be thankful
