I rise from rejection, to bring you...
"The Filipino Concept of Retributional Punishment: It's Differentiation into 'Karma' and 'Ganti' "
BAM!!!
ret·ri·bu·tion
| 1. | requital according to merits or deserts, esp. for evil. |
| 2. | something given or inflicted in such requital. |
| 3. | Theology. the distribution of rewards and punishments in a future life. |
I was supposed to study the Philippine concept of retribution right? When I started researching though, I couldn't find a proper translation for retribution. All that came out was "paghihiganti" and "karma." It then hit me that the Philippine concept (by applying Sapir-Whorf) is divided into personal revenge, and divine retribution. There is no concept of general retribution wherein someone, by whatever means, gets requited. HAHAHAHAHHAHA
my method will be to interview about 10 respondents using the "pakikipagkwentuhan" and that other Zeus Salazar thing... whatever the term is... I'll gather their thoughts on karma, paghihiganti, and which for them is a more proper form of "punishment." Lalalalalalala hahaha I hope this one doesn't get rejected...
