God and guts: How Mike Phillips became the ideal UAAP icon
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.rappler.com/sports/uaap/how-mike-phillips-became-basketball-icon/
My thoughts on this #ManilaBulletin article "La Salle Dasma SHS to offer electives on Taylor Swift, SpongeBob", written by Carla Bauto DeΓ±a: https://mb.com.ph/2024/1/15/la-salle-dasma-shs-to-offer-electives-on-taylor-swift-sponge-bob
I feel like this is a waste of time. Yes it is an #elective. But this is too specific. Why #TaylorSwift? Why not #ChesterBennington, who arguably has inspired a whole generation too with his #numetal songs at #LinkinPark?
It just doesn't make sense why you'd focus on one specific #celebrity, or show like #Spongebob.
I'd rather have #electives for subjects like #Japanese #doujin culture, which may be equivalent to "#indie creator" culture in the #West (but #doujins are not always exactly indie). It's both broad enough and specific. You can talk about the #Touhou phenomenon in the mid-2000s and early 2010s, the #fanworks of established media franchises, the #music, and of course, the erotic works which unfortunately became representative of the word in the West. It's not even applicable only to #HUMSS in #SHS; those who will take #IT and #CS courses in #college may find this elective useful for them too (#ZUN, the creator of Touhou, was a #ComputerScience #student when he developed the first five #2hu games for the #PC98).
Let's stop with this nonsensical glorification of #consumer culture from the West, and learn more from our #Asian neighbors instead!!
