    The document discusses the Challenge and Response Theory proposed by Arnold Joseph Toynbee. It argues that a civilization's ability to effectively respond to challenges determines its survival in history. Failure to respond adequately to challenges leads to a civilization's decline. The document also discusses tensions between the Philippines and China over territorial claims in the Scarborough Shoal, and how the Philippines responds could impact its future trajectory and influence whether other countries exploit its weaknesses.

    The escalating conflict over the Scarborough Shoal between the Philippines and China has been a very controversial issue these past few months. After having a dispute over Spratly Islands, China once again is claiming their territory rights over the shoal. The recent tensions in the area began last April 10, when a Philippine patrol boat encountered a fleet of Chinese 7/26/12

    At the top of these arguments, a small kindergarten school was opened in Pag-asa, which symbolizes Philippines sovereignty over the said island. Philippines fighting their rights over the island is yet another struggle to be face by the government and its countrymen.
