The Filipino of today is soft, easy-going. His tendency is towards parasitism. He is uninclined to
sustained strenuous effort! He lacks earnestness. Face-saving is the dominant note in the confused
symphony of his existence. His sense of righteousness is often dulled by the desire of personal gain. His
norm of conduct is generally prompted by expediency rather than by principle. He shows a failing in that
superb courage which impels action because it is right, even at the cost of self-sacrifice. His greatest fear
is not to do wrong, but of being caught doing wrong.

Topic: Critical Reading as Reasoning

School uniforms should be mandatory for all students for a number of reasons. First, they make
everyone equal, in this way, the “rich” kids are on the same level as the poor ones. In addition, getting
ready for school can be much easier and faster. Many kids waste time choosing what to wear to school,
and they are often unhappy with their final choices. Most importantly, some studies show that school
uniforms make students perform better. Many people might say that uniforms take away from personal
freedom, but I believe that the benefits are stronger than the drawbacks.
