In evry aspect of colonization,there have been trials,sufferings and even "misconception" of one's culture. And these are the negative things that people from the developing countries had been experiencing during this colonial period. Furtheremore,on the other side of colonization,there would have been "extra-life" that they've shared to us like those aspects that we've called "the advantages". We have lost our identity without knowing that the wall behind this fact there lies an instant life of education and religion that somehow predistined us to even more exiting discoveries.
Education serves as our foundation of knowledge. without education,we might have not known about the essence of the existence of life. we won't know ,for an instance,about science which helps us to be open-minded. Eienstein,through education,shares us his famous theory of relativity that leads us(colonized people) to the important discoveries of the universe like to our basic knowledge of things as composed of atoms. While the philosopers and the rests of the scientists give us their knowledge about the scientific explaination of the things and the philosophy of life. Education gives us the chances to reason out evrything beyond/not to our senses,or even to use it as our tool for revenge like Achebe and Rizal did.
Next to education is religion. This serves us to be our inspiration of living in this uncertain world. Religion provides us an answer to the "universal fear of unknown"by giving us the foundational reflection of reality--The supreme being. God,through our religion,therefore,satisfies our inner-longigness. And by doing this,we are more equiped than before the period of colonization.
Colonization,though reshapes our distiny,makes us to be happy(religion)and curious(education)about the things in this world by teaching us a far more relevant concept about life's reality through their teachings to us. Religion teaches us about spiriual life while education brings us the knowledge of life. Thus by looking at the positive aspect of colonization,we are so much blessed of what we've had.
Won't it be an advantage?
