1956 High School Student Debate- Developing nations & colonialism: Philippines, Ghana, Mexico, India 

Ok thanks

He lives in Ghana nowadays and has a wife and one child who’s a boy

That pinned comment says everything summarized the highlight of this debate Ghana and the Philippines stand out to this one Mexico also agreed though

What happened to paco😏

Raul died

but some still can be brainwashed though, through a book censoring and common ideology/teaching.. most of representative from South African seems that way in another video

@@sheilashineleofany822 I agree

Just imagine what today’s kids can achieve with the present resources if they wanted to!!

Actually they are even more informed back then....

They didnt pick up just random students. All of them came from well-off families in their respective countries.

Very well said debates nowadays are mainly pure politics and personal attacks to each other.

Better than PHILIPPINE DEBATE like DUTERTE VS CARPIO..

@@shinoe849 but thats what gets you the votes

good to know its same all over the world...before i thought only indian politicians are shit heads

True, honest and straightforward.

They worked on the intel for the battle of midway together as well, and in the korean war the PH did send some aid in the form of 7.5k or so soldiers and in the vietnam war about 10k soldiers In ww2, besides the bataan death march, there was also the sieges, POW rescue attempts (in which both ph and us soldiers cooped to rescue both ph and us pows. Nearly every city has its own concentration camp rescue story), and so on. Gen. mcarthur's i shall be back terminator style surely made the brotherhood even stronger during that time (and his "gimme 10k of these guys and ill conq the world").

as a Filipino this is amazing to know

My great-grandfather was in the US Army during WWII and was stationed in the Philippines for some time. He told me a story of being on a ship during a massive storm and nearly went overboard when a Filipino man grabbed his wrist and hoisted him safely onboard. My grandfather had a deep love and respect for Filipinos and it felt good to hear how much he admired them because I am half Filipino and look every bit of it. Unfortunately, I didn't have much contact with my Filipino family but it felt good to hear so many positive stories through the lense of a white american soldier who was stationed there during war.

It was to serve American interests. They just didn't want to lose the Philippines to communism that's all. Let’s not kid ourselves, America won't get fully involved if they have nothing to gain. For instance, several African countries have sought American partnership but they're just not interested because they don't think it serves their national interest. For the American government Africa is just a continent where they extract raw materials to develop the US economy with no interest to improve it. In fact, it suits them best if Africa remains underdeveloped. partnering with Africa or strengthening Africa for the development of Africa is just not in their best interest. It will only be in their interest when they feel threatened that Africa might fall into the hands of their enemies like Russia and China. Nothing against Americans but the truth be told this is just how the American government thinks, unfortunately.

he's really good!

I agree

And today, it applies to every powered countries for sure!

I wouldn't say aid, but something like that they learned from what they see and tried building and using

This have nothing to do with Nkrumah, either our natural intelligent or British education.

The independence of Ghana was a collective effort by the elite of the country that time: There was even the Aboriginal Rights Protection Society, but The UGCC members like J B Danquah and his BIG SIX colleagues started that political freedom agenda and INVITED Dr Nkrumah ( and even paid for his ship voyage fare from The UK to The Gold Coast) to be its Secretary, at which time, a LOT towards attaining independence was in the advanced stage: I would say Dr Kwame Nkrumah was a catalyst, so to say, to attaining that goal earlier than later, with the mantra of INDEPENDENCE NOW as against UGCC's agenda of independence in the nearest possible time. We Thank everyone involved especially those who started the process, to begin with, NOT only Dr Nkrumah.

Me nua, i feel proud watching our fellow brother debate these guys what a smart dude. My only problem is i feel emotional and asking myself where did we go wrong. The Ghana dude stated it. They do not help freely cause soon after they took Kwame Nkrumah out by using the military, same as Patrice Lumumba.

@@Kya1942 it's really painful to read African history. There is no happy ending. But, I know the young people in our country are more ambitious and learned than perhaps our parents and I think that should count for something in the long run.

the ghana kid is wrong and short sighted. no duh, nothing is free. theres competing agendas and lesser evils. his solutions were none.

This was during the 1950s too when segregation was an issue in America with these "whites only" prejudice people. Most of these kids interviewed weren't white yet she was interested in hearing their views and showed no sign of racial bias whatsoever

She wanted world unity too it seems.. she was all for it..one of the whites who always knew racism is not the way.and that we are all one.

I agree with you. These two countries produce one of the best students in Africa. They planted these seeds sooner, which is why some African countries, including mine, are behind. This is fruition. Their students are never dull. Almost every entertainer in Nigeria has an academic degree.

@@MamaCeesay98 that is very true. I wish all of Africa can strive. Africa as content has a lot of work to do but it definitely helps when there are others who are paving the way such as Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, etc. we will get there once again like we were before.

@@bariatasudan I believe that Africa will rise to its name one day. I don't know if I'll be alive to see it, but I believe in the future. Believe it or not, many people my age are either the first generation in academics or second, if we are lucky enough, the third generation in my country, and I am 23. I am a product of the second generation. I try not to think about our academic illiteracy much because I know we are beginners, and everything in its state of origin struggles before it become something noteworthy.

I'd rather be taken advantage by US than in the hands of China. Look at how many Filipinos earning and living well in America all these years? It's not just the U.S who got something but also our co-fellow Filipino men as well. We could've been protected, given help. We cannot condone America these things when most of our relatives themselves are living off from them as well. In the situation of the EEZ, heck they could've given one island to America. And now everything was controlled by China. One move from us and China can strike war. But in all reality, we're highly in debt, in the future we'll still take trillions. What more can the U.S gain from us?

@Julie True. The lesser of two evils.

@@wnffljfbr I agree but, not totally. I believe when the Philippines was developing faster than any other country and nearly surpassed the U.S, The Americans pulled the Philippines down again and probably thought it was starting to become a threat to their power. We don't really know what China is thinking but if they really wanted to invade or colonize another country they could have done it decades and decades ago but they didn't. I'm not a pro-Chinese and in fact, I hate them for what they did in our sovereignty and to our fishermen but can you really blame them? China has been invaded by lots of countries before and been through a lot of wars so what I think they are doing now is to protect their people. Our country was rich but other countries were not to blame but ourselves and our foolishness. Voting a retarded leader, betraying our own fellow Filipinos, Selfishness (Thirst for money and power). Our last best president was Marcos and It was either Americans who used Aquino to get rid of him or someone else. Duterte is trying his best and people like me that are from Davao believe in him but I think even he could not do much anymore because we are too far gone.

@@rogapz3911 I totally agree with you.

@@degeneratetrollinthedungeo2382 you think away from your time

Whoaaa. His view was very advanced.

And yet Philippines is one of the most pro-American countries today. The Philippines is one of the most prosperous countries with more diversity in its economy in South East Asia thanks to the US. Sure, The US didn't do it for goodness in their heart. They did for their own interests to stop communism. But people forget that while so many times US interests made parts of the world worst. It had many times where it benefited parts of the world. The quality of life in the Philippines today was thanks to the US. And because of that Filipinos have the highest positive attitude towards the US than any other country in the world.

@@BattlefireTV A typical Filpino commenter you are; it was the Chinese money and others from east Asia who made the Philippines become better.

@@claritamanansala9268 No it wasn’t. Their infrastructure was paid by the Americans. The ports, all were funded by the Americans. China has very little to do with the economic growth that happened since WW2 and Cold War. One of the earliest free trade agreements in the region to the US was the Philippines. China had no part of investments to the country until the last two decades. And even at that point trade between China and Philippines was done on the infrastructure the US invested. The Philippine economy that China invests in was thanks to the US investments that made that economy to what it is today. There is a reason why Filipinos love Americans. Modern Philippines happened with the help of the US.

@@BattlefireTV The Philippines nowadays has a barely moving economy with the help of East Asian Investments. I agree before, US funding was significant, but now most of the money is from China, Japan, and Korea.

It's a give and take like business. We cant say US doesn't do anything positive to the country. The problem is we don't know how much they take from the help they gave. The old politicians might know it. Raul has his own opinion based on how he felt at that time, his conscience is clear.

Exactly. Ghana knows facts. Too bad right now, Philippines has an oddball as a president. 😒 U.S. and China always had wandering eyes in the Philippines. Every country has a lot of resources to offer and mega countries always want more so they bargain & make agreements with smaller, developing countries, etc.

@agayhasnoname Marcos failed the Philippines from most progressive to basket case economy.

"There is no such thing as free" I beg to disagree. This is a mindset.

If no such thing is free, then the formation of the now government should not exist. It exists because it is there to help, like always. And that mindset is what makes the difference.

THIS

Ah yeah dude I was worrying about this. I'm still quite pessimistic, and seeing all the people around me, my younger cousins and whatnot, you know, you can't help but feel the generation is doomed. People find instant gratification more interesting than intelligent debates like this. I too enjoy stupid funny stuff, but the problem is the stupid unfunny stuff, meaning very very uninformed opinions. After seeing so many people like that online....it's bound to influence such young children who are even more reliant on the internet for entertainment, so....Yeah. I really think that the generation gets dumber by the day. Lead poisoning and all that, now the poison is misinformation. Easy access to the internet might mean easy access to knowledge and other information, but honestly they'd much rather use it for fun. And the internet sticks with you when you get older. It's going to become essential, especially after quarantine's revelations, and people will make it a habit, from all their mimicking in their younger years. I'm quite comforted by the fact that as people living in third world countries, we are less likely to worry about inconsequential things and worry about real problems more, but honestly, the threat of colonialism will change that attitude. They'll end up copying nonsense they hear from American media, of social justice or identity politics, forgetting about our country's real problems, like economic decline and stacking debt. Ugh. This is so tiring to think about. No wonder my classmates think I'm a 30year old in a 16year old's body. It isn't a compliment anymore because I thought things like this are more important to think about compared to your online status. Not to them, apparently--and it's definitely inflating my ego a little bit thinking that they don't worry about this, but also just makes me disgusted to think that they will grow up and end up being the ones I interact with. By the gods. How can you look at today's youth and not get pessimistic? Sure, we are all stupid in our younger days with various frivolous follies and whatnot, but seeing as their influences are _adults_ with stupid opinions out on the internet? How can you be so sure they'll grow up fine? The bad things are exacerbated on the internet. Once they become parents, all hope is lost. But man. You said what my brother did, and that's that there are still people who are down-to-earth and actually think. But it looks like it will decrease as the years pass. God, I hope I'm dead before then. People turn their brains off with the internet, which is why the amount of people who love reading as a hobby declines. It requires concentration, and attention, and we all know how attention spans have been decreasing. IQ scores might not be entirely accurate or proven, but the depleting scores should be a sign, you know...

@@missasyan economic decline and stacking debt are real issues for sure. It’s definitely understandable to prioritize those issues. America is also in debt and everyone is facing inflation. But identity politics can be important at the same time. Prioritizing is one thing, but there’s no reason to dismiss other issues that people could actually struggle with

@@vinhelsing3461 yes ghanian guy

It’s because the representative from the Philippines is an upper class Filipino, so maybe he had a different view than those who actually suffered the American “colonization.” It’s quite obvious there were hidden agendas in the US helping other nations. The Ghana representative seems to come from upper class as well, however his country may have been exposed to these things specifically so he was more aware of it. They’re both very smart and mature, but those who live in underdeveloped countries know exactly why the US has entered their land

@@kev4850 I don’t think it’s that, he isn’t part of the upper class because he’s quite Asian and not Spanish or other European. I think it’s that Filipinos are/were in love with anything white.

@@kev4850 Just to give context to the Filipino kid's view on colonialism. The Philippines was coming from WWII. He in his young mind was able to compare being colonized by the Japanese which was brutal - rape, destruction, and tyranny - and by the Americans who helped rebuild the Philippines. But, it's true that nothings comes for free.

Well, politcs are about "cooperative" interest one to another. You get some and you offer some.

True Philippines and america relationship is quite something the fact it was also describe as a special relationship between the two nations doesn't really surprised me

Because the leadership we had dont stand by there own they depend for what they want not for there fellowmen...

And this debate went really well they are very respectful gentlemen, I've only heard a little of that girl but i commend her humbleness. I think she knew a little of the topic and does she kept her mouth shut than spitting nonsense and confusion towards this gentleman.

true I mean it was his experiences and how he felt during that time. I don't blame him trusting America especially after liberating Filipinos from centuries of colonization. But now, we know that America is still exploitive in some way. I mean, the Ghanaian boy was right, nothing's free.

@@btsmochimi7924 Filipinos already liberated themselves by the time US arrived. The remaining Spanish forces already surrendered to Filipinos. What's with the credit grabbing.

@@khust2993 spain lost during the spanish-american war. The only country left that they have is the Philippines and they know their empire had already fallen esp after the cuban independence. However, america don't really have any plans to occupy philippines not until they were convinced that the brits would probably get it first. Ofc the english propaganda for education is to spread english as much as possible to the locals. And they successfully did that in a short period of time.They introduced new innovations for manufacturing and business but in exchange of raw materials and goods. They also need Filipino labor to stabilize their camps. The US forces in the philippines weakened in the 1940s because their priority at that time was the conflicts abroad. It left philippines with the japanese rule for 3 tormenting years not until they came back. In short, there will always be a give and return for everything. No country would take interest without any return. Colonialism is never good for the colony.
