Things that happened during the period of Rizal plays very important
role in our society nowadays. Studying the life of Rizal provides insights on how
to deal with current problems. Our view of history forms the manner we
perceive the present, and therefore influences the kind of solutions we provide
for existing problems. Second, It helps us understand better ourselves as
Filipinos. E past helps us understand who we are. We comprehensively define
ourselves not only in terms of where we are going, but also where we come
from. Our heredity, past behaviors, and old habits as a nation are all
significant clues and determinants to our present situation. Third, It teaches
nationalism and patriotism. Nationalism involves the desire to attain freedom
and political independence, especially by a country under foreign power, while
patriotism denotes proud devotion and loyalty to one’s nation. Fourth, It
provides various essential life lessons .We can learn much from the way Rizal
faced various challenges in life. As a controversial figure in his time, he
encountered serious dilemmas and predicaments but responded decently and
high-mindedly.Lastly, It helps in developing logical and critical thinking
.Critical Thinking refers to discerning, evaluative, and analytical thinking. A
Philosophy major, Jose Rizal unsurprisingly demonstrated his critical thinking
skills in his argumentative essays, satires, novels, speeches, and written
debates. In deciding what to believe or do, Rizal also proved his being a
reasonably reflective thinker, never succumbing to the irrational whims and
baseless opinions of anyone.
