1 answer:

3 0

Following the Spanish American War in 1898 the Philippines sought to declare its own independence when the Spanish were defeated. However, this was not successful and the Philippines fought a war with U.S. forces over self determination. The Philippines lost the war and it was not until the end of WWII in 1946 that through the Treaty of Manila the United States granted the Philippines independence. Therefore, the U.S. helped end Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines but also then effectively ruled the Philippines for close to 5 decades until the Philippines achieved independence, making this claim arguably false

Ilya [14]

Answer: is a vocation

Explanation: Vocation is one’s response to a call from beyond oneself to use one’s strengths and gifts to make the world a better place through service, creativity, and leadership.

A call from beyond oneself.

The concept of vocation rests on the belief that life is about more than me. To speak of “vocation” or “calling” is to suggest that my life is a response to something beyond myself. Christians believe this “something beyond myself” is God. But even people outside of this tradition often sense a call to serve others, to create beauty, and to do good in the world. A call may be experienced in many ways, including the following:

A sense that God is leading me to a particular task, relationship, or mission.

A deep desire to get involved when I am confronted with the needs of others.

A sense that a particular task or kind of work is what I am supposed to be doing with my life at this particular time.

Personal fulfilment that I experience as I am involved in a particular task or work.

The affirmation of others who recognize the work I am doing and the contributions I am making to the world.
