3. ABSTRACTION

CONCEPT OF STATE and NATION

What is a nation?
Nasci is a Latin word where the term nation came from which means “born”; giving it
a racial or ethnic in meaning. Etymologically, it refers to a birthplace; therefore, it is
generally used to describe an ethnic, linguistic, or cultural community. Thus, it may also
define as group of people bound together by commonalities in language, history, traditions,
and religion.

For example, we Filipinos, we have different ethnic group however we have that oneness of
being Filipino. We belong to one descent and share the same culture of being Filipino. Not
always that for a nation to be called such they have the same and exact culture, religion or
tradition as to the other. What important is the willingness to live together as one. There
instances that even if they have same religion, physical feature and culture they are separate
as a nation because of their inability to live together.

2 Classification of Nation

1. Ethnic Nation – is an entity that is united on the basis of ethnicity.

2. Territorial Nation – an entity that covers a predefined territory which was populated by
different ethnic group that have assimilated as a nation.

What is a state?

A state is a community of persons more or less numerous, permanently occupying a

definite portion of territory, having a government of their own to which the great body of
inhabitants render obedience, and enjoying freedom from external control.
(1) permanent population; (2) defined territorial boundaries; (3) a government and (4) an
ability to enter into agreements.
ELEMENTS OF A STATE

can govern and self-sufficient.

2. TERRITORY. An area over which territory has effective control. A fixed portion of the
surface of the earth in which people reside that is sufficient to provide the needs of the
inhabitants. It is big enough to be self-sufficient but small enough to administered and
defended.

and people

from external control.

What is a globalization?

Heywood (2013) defined globalization as the process through which societies have become so intertwined or
interconnected that events and decisions in one part of the world have significant effects on the lives of people
in the other part of the world.

Globalization in the Philippines

Here in the Philippines, the domestic and political policies change because of events
happening in the international arena.
For example, the shift of TESDA training to BPO-related skills to cater the demand of
outsourcing companies.
Also, the shift of 10 years curriculum in Basic education Curriculum to K to 12 program is
an outset of global requirement. Many countries prefer those having 12 years basic
education program than 10 years program which prompt the Philippine government to shift
and follow other States’ program
For individual aspect, many high school graduates enroll themselves to health courses
program such as nursing because of its demand abroad. What other instances you may think
where globalization affects the Philippines?

EVALUATION

WEEK 3: Short quiz

Direction. Below are scenarios about the types and consequences of power. Read each carefully and
understand the situations before answering. Write a three-liner justification to support your answer.
1. Pepe S. was the smartest boy and the kindest soul in his class back in high school. Because of this, he
unknowingly put up a boy group in the campus at that time. He automatically became the honorary
leader of the said group. The members of the said group would always follow what he said and what he
would do. Pepe S. never scolded the other boys for obedience issues and the latter never contradicted
him as well. What type of power did Pepe S. hold back in his high school days? What result did that
power yield?

2. In barangay Adayu, three nurses were deployed back in March 16,2020 to assist the barangay officials,
the Barangay Health Workers and the members of the Barangay Peace-keeping group in implementing
the Enhanced Community Quarantine. The barangay put up its own triage area to apprehend people
who may manifest the symptoms of the covid19 or who were PUI or PUM. In the process, the nurses
manned the triage. In this scenario, what type of power was exercised and who exercised it? Why?
What do you think was the consequence of the exercise of that power?

3. Way back in 2018, PRRD gave a pronouncement about the eradication of the ‘drugs business’ and ‘drug
use’ in the country, thus, the ‘Operation Tokhang’ was instituted and its implementation was placed in
the hands of the Philippine National Police. As per news reports, the members of the PNP had to engage
into so-called military operations to catch high prolife drug personalities and more often than not, some
suspects get killed and some military operatives either get hurt or become casualties as well. In this
scenario, is there any type of power exercised? What type of power is it and who could have exercised
it? Why? In the long run, what do you think would be the consequence of the exercise of this type of
power?
