Philippine
Found in South East Asia, Philippine is majorly composed of Islands. Actually, the Islands are formations from top protruding of submerged mountain chain. The tops that formed a large pre-eminence turned out to be the modern major islands that make up the Philippine and they are namely Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The fact of this Far East country sitting on a chain of mountain tops explains best why the Philippine experiences active volcanoes from around 20 sources and devastating earthquakes. Despite these natural misfortunes, this is a country that harbors a rich history dating back to hundreds of years ago. This is because it is made up of immigrants from all the surrounding countries of China, Malaysia and others. Internationally, this country is recognized as “republic of the Philippines.”
Something unique about the Philippines is that she was colonized by a number of colonial masters. The first colonial foreign explorers to arrive into these islands were the Spanish. To be specific, history has it that Ferdinand Magellan arrived first before other European explorers and thus he secured a colony for his king who was in Italy. Unfortunately, he was killed on subsequent expeditions staged by the Spanish explorers. When arrival of more Spanish accentuated in Philippine, they established their rule that lasted for approximately 300 years. However, the Philippine was a hot spot for many explorers and thus the Spanish people found themselves often engaged in war with other explorers like the British and the Americans. At the end of the 19th century, the Spanish were conquered by the Americans who took over the mantle of command authority and reigned from 1898 to 1935 when the Philippine gained independence. However, U...

...n, is not easy as it used to be. People have become so indulged into busy schedules. Though face-to-face negotiations promote truth to great heights, non-face-face communication is very important especially if the first meeting was held on face-to-face basis. However, under non-face-to-face negotiations, your tone and the intensity of your voice becomes an important side observation that explains more about the message being communicated. The process is full of flaws but if it is the only means available for the negotiation, ensure that all the stakeholders are reading facts from the same text, that you are all using tools available to both of you and you are acknowledging the difficult involved in the process that you have to introduce yourself whenever speaking. Non-face-to-face negotiation is not ideal for first meeting but can be adopted for subsequent meetings.
Spain occupied the Philippines for 300 years and did help the Filipino besides make them Christian. When the opportunity to get rid of Spain the Filipino people decided to help the United States defeat the Spaniards for freedom. Emilio Aguinaldo asks then why did the United States come to the Philippines to get rid of one oppressor to become another. Beveridge’s largest oppositions in the United States were the leaders of business and commerce within the United States.
In my opinion The United States ordeal with Annexing the Philippines and the idea that we had of going into war with them was great mistake and should have been avoided. The Filipinos and Americans were deadlocked in war with each other. This all became a controversy with the two nations in 1898 when the Treaty of Paris between Spain and the United Stated ceded all seven thousand islands of the Philippine archipelago to the United States, for just a mere twenty-million dollars. Congress had approved the treaty with Spain, by February of 1899. Mckinley was on the verge of calling for the annexation of the Philippines which brought on a bloody two year struggle. In my opinion the United States was the cause of all of this because of three different reasons, for one our government would not...
Following the Spanish-American war it thought that it was America’s duty to help them form a civilized society. In reality it was the idea of imperialism that if we did it before with Hawaii why we can’t do it again with the Philippines.
Due to the fact that this area was constructed in colonial form, decolonization was attempted so that they could gain independent status. Once this started, these are when the challenges presented themselves. A sense of insurgency erupted and rebellion against the government occurred. The Muslim separatists and the communist rebels went against the government and challenged it. The problem was that Southeast Asia attempted to decolonize, but since the Americans won the Philippines from Spain in war they had their own rules. This caused problems between the both and mad an even bigger challenge for the regions of Southeast Asia to gain their independence. Once independence was gained, dictatorship with the region became a major challenge. For example, a man named Ferdinand Marcos inhibited many bad influences and was known for rigging the
... Americans built roads, schools, bridges, and sewers. Filipino self- rule had gradually increased and finally declared their independence on July 4, 1946. However, compared to Cuba and Puerto Rico, American rule has a lesser impact on the Philippine economy. The United States invaded Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines not to gain wealth, but for the purpose of getting trades.
The scene is set; America is the great power in the western hemisphere. Post Spanish-American War, America is faced with a dilemma of annexing the Philippines. In the winter of 1899 following the annexation of the Philippines, America had a problem. Filipinos had been fighting for independence from Spain and did not want to be seceded (83). Despite the Filipino objection, the United States displayed their assertion on the land. In conflict, both the Filipinos and American had many meetings with death. There were consequences and repercussions from invoking the American power on this foreign land. The American victory in the Spanish-American War helped propel the nation. Thesis: Although met with conflict from the natives, the
On April 21, 1898, America declared war against Spain for a multitude of reasons. Long before this, the Filipinos were entangled in a war against Spain for their independence. Many Filipinos saw American intervention in the war as a beneficial situation. They believed America would help secure their long-awaited freedom but were greatly mistaken. When the Treaty of Paris was signed to end the Spanish-American War, America gained possession of the Philippine Islands. Due to contradicting viewpoints, conditions, and values; the conundrum America faced on whether or not to keep the Philippine Islands was widely discussed during the early twentieth century. This dilemma has raised the high demand for an imperialistic empire within American politics.
However this negotiation was totally different from the other ones as our goals were completely different. My counterpart was looking for fund for his boss' campaign whereas I was looking for a buyer for my dam projects. In such a case it's difficult to negotiate as we are not looking for the same things. Thus, we need to communicate effectively to understand the other part will and then be creative in order to offer the best solution regarding both parties interests.
The first common theme is the importance of clear strategic intent and big picture thinking in negotiations. Before taking the Negotiation Behaviour unit, I always perceived negotiation as a fixed-pie, a zero-sum gain situation, where one party wins and the other party loses. This belief has often led me to a competitive behaviour in negotiation by trading the big picture thinking with the need to win, getting too detailed too quickly, leading to a positional approach instead of having a broad goal and explore for ways around problems to create value and get the best outcome.
In 1898, in an effort to free Cuba from the oppression of its Spanish colonizers, America captured the Philippines. This brought about questions of what America should do with the Philippines. Soon, controversy ensued both in the American political arena as well as among its citizens. Throughout its history, America had always been expansionistic, but it had always limited itself to the North American continent. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, however, there emerged a drive to expand outside of the continent. When America expanded to the Philippines, the policy it followed was a stark break from past forms of expansionism. Despite much controversy, America followed the example of the imperialistic nations in Europe and sought to conquer the Philippines as an imperialist colony that they would rule either directly or indirectly.

Meaningful communication between two or more individuals rarely leads to 100% agreement between all parties involved. More commonly, there are disagreements on certain points. In a close relationship like a marriage, which is also a partnership; in a strong business relationship; or in a hostage situation, these disagreements must be worked out satisfactorily for both sides in order for the relationship to remain healthy and/or the outcome to be positive. When the parties must reach an agreement or a compromise, one of the best communication strategies is negotiation.
The first stage of the negotiation is preparation. It is the fundamental process of negotiation. The purpose of preparation is to identify the opposing interests and priorities on the issue addressed (Ya’akub, 2014). The negotiator must have the information and knowledge of factual facts regarding the issue discussed. In addition, it is also to ensure that the negotiator be knowledgeable about the relevant information of the matter addressed. During this stage, the preparation includes the outlining of both sides negotiator interests for the purpose of identifying common interests among them (Ya’akub, 2014). It is important in order to ensure that mutual agreement will be achieved. This is because both sides of negotiator will have different interest in the same issue that will be addressed. Other than that, the preparation also includes the preparation for alternative options in case the initial options are rejected. As for this reason, the outcome of the negotiation is depending on how well does the negotiator being prepared for any possible change of plan. Moreover, the negot...
