Critical Commentary on Post Colonialism

Post colonialism is the exact opposite of colonialism. It is considered as a form of resistance against from colonialism. Post colonialism is about gaining a perspective with regards to the future without colonial influences that almost replace the original cultures of a certain place. Moreover, according to the report, it is a form of resistance to the blinding effects brought by colonialism and also seeks to analyze how the colonized society will be able to move on a more civil and equal environment. It is the return or the rise of the other. According to Fanon, revolution is a form of resistance from colonialism. 

I believe that we are still under the colonization period, and still in the ongoing process of post colonization. We actually imitate the ways, trends, and ideologies of the West. Our mindsets are boxed-up to the idea that the dominating culture is still the West. The development of our own cultural production, traditions, and ideologies must be given importance for us to be united and develop as one country. We must be open-minded to new ideas that would eventually help us to strengthen, improved and expand own cultural productions for the own benefit and betterment of the Filipino society as a whole. Post colonialism had undergone a lot of changes. Today, it now includes the relationship between different forms of resistance and dominance; the establishment of a constitution within the colonies; and the relationship interdependence of both classes and races.We must therefore regain the sense of glory and pride ti our own culture in order to rebuild a true sense of identity deep within ourselves.

We must not think that the culture of the West is the best among rest; we must believe in our own worth as Filipinos.Back then, it was believed that the language, norms, traditions, and culture of the whites in general served as universal and superior over any other races. The feeling of inferiority complex tends to withdraw us to what we can possibly achieve or do.Embracing our own culture or believing in our own identity is the first major step to rise from colonization to post colonization.
