Noli Me Tangere: Then and Now Analysis

This document compares aspects of late 19th century Philippine society as depicted in Rizal's novel Noli Me Tangere to contemporary society. It lists aspects such as government/officials, church/religion, education, pastimes/hobbies, the rich and poor, and life in the city. For each aspect, it provides Rizal's observations from the novel and observations about similar issues in present-day Philippines. While some problems have persisted, it also notes some improvements, such as greater access to education and smaller gaps between rich and poor, though issues of selective justice and inequality remain.
