    The Need for Study Controversies and Conflicting Views

    The conclusion is that the Filipino youth, in general, had a “very shallow knowledge and
    appreciation” of the country’s history and cultural heritage.

    critically analyse various controversies and conflicting views because these may affect
    their lives as Filipino and citizens of contemporary society.
