LIFE AND WORKS OF JOSE RIZAL

1. Reflect on the importance of law in a democratic society. As a law-abiding citizen, what can you do to uphold the rule of law? What are the implications when the rule of law is eradicated?

2. Reflect on the Filipino concept of a hero. Now that the nature of the concept of "hero" has been clarified as not to be posthumous award, how can a student like you become a bayani in your own way?

3. Reflect on the concept of text. It can be deduced using the definition of text that it is impossible to establish a single meaning since all things viewed as text are open to many interpretations. Applying this in the study of History, the past may be considered a text, especially when it has been put into writing. It is really impossible to come up with a single historic fact?

4. Reflect on Rizal's role as a symbol of nation-building. As a student, how can you become a herald of nationalism?

5. Reflect on the importance of a person's context in his/her awareness of the various problems in society.

What are the different problems in your community today? How do these problems affect your daily life? How can these problems be addressed by an ordinary student or a citizen?

6. Reflect on why Rizal highlighted the story of the moth in the last chapter of his Memorias. What was the message intended by Rizal through this story? Is the moral of the story still applicable for today's generation? What does the light symbolize?
