I was debating on putting this in the Limitations of the Study section of our thesis with my groupmates
Finally, the fact that this study is extrinsically motivated by the verity of this being a thesis in partial fulfillment of a bachelor of arts, major in psychology of 3 students of the Ateneo de Manila University is a limitation. Being within an educational system that acculturates the researchers to fear the “cultural nightmare” of academic failure and the value of tenderness for the Filipino nation especially the weaker members of it made into a question of self-esteem might actually be something that must be transcended. Amidst the daunting threat of not being able to graduate, the researchers should commit to let the study unfold its potential above and beyond the scholastic drudgeries of deadlines, academic standards, and supposed scientific, particularly psychological sophistication. Though acknowledging the debt of the researchers to the Ateneo education system specifically to the education the Department of Psychology has bestowed upon us and all other relations that depend on them, the researchers should allot the proper and equitable loyalty to the study and its forthcoming potential for excellence. As Camus would put it, we should let the educational system teach us its merits, but we should let not its absurdities penetrate our conceptions of truth and value- that ultimately it will not convince us that we are stupid and that we are aimless.
