MAIN FUNCTIONS OF EDUCATION

Learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, morals, beliefs, habits, and personal development, is facilitated by education. Education enhances one's knowledge, talents, and personality as well as attitude. Most noteworthy, Education affects the chances of employment for people. A well-educated individual is more likely to obtain a decent career. We all have our own answers into what is the role of Education but what really is the function of Education? 

There are four Main Functions of Education and these are Socialization, Social Integration, Social Placement and Social and Cultural Innovation. 

SOCIALIZATION

-     The socialization functions in education can be defined as the ability to work and make independent decisions so that an individual can fulfill social duties and integrate into social structures with specified role types later in life. In the broadest sense, socialization is the process of acquainting a youngster outside of the family, in a school setting, with the "norms" of our society. To prepare students to participate in school group activities by recognizing the expectations of others

SOCIAL INTEGRATION

 -   Social integration is a second function of schooling. People must have a common set of beliefs and values for a community to function, according to functionalists. The process of developing ideals, relationships, and institutions that enable all individuals to participate in social, economic, and political life on the basis of equality of rights, equity, and dignity is known as social integration. It entails the growth of understanding and attitude in persons so that they can rise above their selfish and narrow interests and discover the important items in all other cultures besides their own. 

SOCIAL PLACEMENT 

-    Social placement is the use of education to improve one's social standing. In other words, it assigns people to higher or lower social classes based on their level of education. Education also provides one of the major methods used by people for upward social mobility. Social placement is the term for this function. Universities and graduate schools are seen as a way to bring students closer to a career that provides the financial freedom and security they seek. 

SOCIAL AND CULTURAL INNOVATION

- The Social and Cultural Innovation SWG tracks and evaluates existing Social Sciences and Humanities RIs, disseminates and promotes best practices, and identifies and enhances new applications in multidisciplinary RIs. 

These are the main functions of Education and that's why Education plays a big role in our lives.  Education helps us get more opportunity.

HEALTH PROTOCOLS
DURING THE PANDEMIC

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC HEALTH PROTOCOLS?

 

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the capacity of health systems to continue the delivery of essential health services. While health systems around the world are being challenged by increasing demand for care of Covid-19 patients, it is critical to maintain preventive and curative services, especially for the most vulnerable populations, such as children, older persons, people living with chronic conditions, minorities and people living with disabilities. It gives full protection to the people to prevent Covid-19 to spread rapidly while some minor cases are percentage wise. Some are minimal only.
The implementation of the health protocols had a big impact on people. It helps to make people aware of the virus and to be more cautious. If there are health protocols, people will be more aware of what is happening and they will be more careful. With all that’s happening in the whole world right now, we need protocols to follow so that the situation doesn’t get worse.

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH PROTOCOLS DURING THE PANDEMIC?
A Health Protocol is a paradigm providing a set of tools which allow health care providers access to current guidelines which they can apply in practice. It is also a set of instructions which describe a process to be followed to investigate a particular set of findings in a patient, or the method which should be followed to control a certain disease.
Everyone has a responsibility to follow the health protocols during the pandemic by practicing social distancing. Physical Distancing or maintaining space between yourself and others is a best practice to avoid the virus. Frequent hand washing with clean water and soap is also one of the most important in preventing the spread of Covid-19.
Hand washing should occur after touching anything in a public area, after using the restroom, prior to eating, and after touching one’s face or blowing one’s nose.
Sanitizing and Disinfecting are an important part of reducing the risk of exposure to Covid-19. Routine cleaning can reduce risk of exposure and is a necessary step before disinfecting surfaces. Cough/sneeze etiquette hygiene should also be practiced. Always remember to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or If you do not have tissues, cough or sneeze into the inside of your elbow, not into your hands. Throw tissue in the trash and immediately wash your hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer that contains at least 70% alcohol. Avoid touching the face because the bacteria in your hands might spread in your face.  Respect is also one of the most needed and important during the pandemic because people might fight and people should help each other in avoiding the virus.
Use face masks and face shields especially when going out. It is important to cover your face to avoid the bacteria or the virus in the face. Health care workers, clinical, and research personnel should follow the PPE guidelines for their specific work area. This health protocols will be needed and should be followed to reduce the risk of exposure and spread of Covid-19. People can spread the virus without being sick or knowing they are sick, so it is important to follow Health Protocols during pandemic.


WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING HEALTH PROTOCOLS DURING THE PANDEMIC?
 Health Protocols are made to help prevent the spreading of virus or respiratory diseases like Covid-19.  The importance of health protocols cannot be disputed but the way they should be managed best will vary from one to another. Following Health Protocols during the pandemic are the only way we can do to help lessen the spread of virus since we can’t control or manage the virus from spreading. Many people are dying because of the virus and some people who become ill with Covid-19 develops a bacterial infection as a complication. In this case, antibiotics may be recommended by a health care provider but there is really no cure in Covid-19. That’s why people are scared and stressed. You can also be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has Covid-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.
The purpose why we need to know and to follow the Health Protocols about Covid-19 is to make sure that we have a role to play in protecting the physical and mental health of ourselves and others and to prevent these such illnesses.


WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE HEALTH PROTOCOLS?
Health protocols have been implemented to make it easier for us to prevent the spread of the virus but even though the situation is dangerous, many people seem to be violating health protocols, many still come out even after the curfew, many still do not wear masks and this is one of the main reasons why we find it difficult to reduce the number of people that are infected. Violating the health protocols could increase the risk of work-related illness and injuries. The more people violate health protocols, the wider the virus would spread. The virus would also spread faster. If people would violate the rules, the virus would spread faster and it might be harder to control. The accelerating increase in covid-19 cases is one of the effects of violating health protocols and people don’t seem to be scared enough to comply with enforced protocols. The increase in the number of Covid-19 cases is will lead to a lockdown which will lead to the closing of various establishments which will also lead to economic downturn. People who violate health protocols will be arrested and by being not careful enough, they might get the virus that will make the work of our frontliners even more difficult. The work of the frontliners are already hard and if we add more because of our negligence, we will only be a burden to them. Not only our lives are at risk but also the lives of others especially those people we come in contact.

DO HEALTH PROTOCOLS HELPS LESSEN THE VIRUS TO SPREAD?
Following health protocols will not eliminate the virus but it helps us to stay away from it.

According to our research Health protocols will be a big impact to our health if we follow it correctly. It reduces the chance and risk of getting and spreading the virus rapidly.  Disciplining ourselves in following the Health protocols will be the most effective way to prevent catching the virus. We can't control the virus but we can control ourselves in following the Health protocols and Healthy habits. Doing unhealthy things can only damage our immune system like drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, eating unhealthy foods, sleeping late, not drinking water and vitamins.. etc.  these are the things that can make our immune system low and easily get infected by the virus. That’s why we need to have healthy lifestyle and follow health protocols.

LIHAM PARA SA MGA POLITIKO

\March 31, 2021 

 Liham para sa mga politiko, 

                           Habang tumatagal, paparami nang paparami ang mga kaso nang mga taong tinatanggalan at binabaliwala ang karapatan. Araw-araw may inaabuso ngunit hindi nabibigyang tulong. Araw-araw may mga taong humihingi nang tulong ngunit nababaliwala lamang. Sa gobyerno, sana ito’y iyong bigyang pansin. Sana tratuhin nyo nang tama at patas ang mga tao. Sana bigyan nyo nang hustisya ang mga tao. Sana isipin nyo rin ang kalagayan at kabutihan ng inyong mga mamamayan. Huwag nyo po sana tapak tapakan ang mga karapatan ng mga tao. Sana gawin nyo ang inyong tungkulin. Lagyan ng ngipin ang batas. 

                                                                                                        Lubos na gumagalang,

                                                                                                               mamamayan

SONNET READING

 

               Diskriminasyon ay isa sa mga problema na kinakaharap at nararanasan nang maraming tao san mang panig sa mundo. Maraming tao ang nadidiskrimina dahil sa kulay ng balat, itsura, edad, lahi at kasarian at araw-araw mas lumalala ang pangdidiskrimina ng mga tao. Araw-araw mas dumarami ang nangdidiskrimina at nadidiskrimina. Kaya’t paano nga ba natin mapapatigil ito o kahit maiiwasan man lang?

               Kung gusto nating matigil ang pangdidiskrimina ng ibang tao dapat simulan natin sa ating sarili. Huwag tayong mangdiskrimina. Iwasan natin ang panunukso dahil hindi natin alam kung anong pinagdaadaanan o mararamdaman ng taong iyon. Iwasan nating iparamdam sa tao na iba sila sa atin. Hikayatin ang ibang tao na itigil ang pangdidiskrimina sapagkat walang mabuting naidudulot ito. Huwag tayong manghusga sa iba. 

 

              Medyo mahirap na patigilin ang diskriminasyon ngayon dahil hanggat merong nang-aapi at nagpapa-api magkakaroon at magkakaroon parin ng diskriminasyon. Ngunit kung unti-unti nating iiwasan ang mga bagay na magpapatuloy sa diskrimasyon magagawa nating patigilin ito. Hindi man ngayon ngunit balang araw.

- Ito ang napili kong linya sa kanta dahil ito’y nagpapakita na pinagmamalaki nya ang kanyang lahi at kung ano siya o kulay nang kanyang balat sa kabila ng mga panlalait sa kanya. Dahil lang maputi o maitim ang isang tao ay hindi ito nagbibigay ng karapatan sa atin na manglait ng iba dahil lang sa iba ang kulay nila sa atin. 

TUNAY NA HALAGA NG BUHAY

               Bilang isang tao, ang pinakamahalagang bagay siguro na meron tayo ay ang pagkakaroon ng BUHAY. Madalas nating naririnig ang kasabihang "pahalagahan ang buhay dahil nag-iisa lamang ito. Ngunit ano nga ba ang tunay na halaga ng buhay?

               Bilang isang Kristiyano naniniwala tayo na ang buhay natin ay hiram lamang mula sa ating Panginoon. Ayon sa bibliya, nilikha ng Diyos ang tao upang maging tagapangalaga sa kanyang mga likha. Kaya maaring ang kahalagahan ng buhay ay magiging tagapangalaga sa mundong ibabaw na Kanya ring likha. Nabubuhay tayo para sa ating mga mahal sa buhay, para sa mga taong nangangailangan sa atin, maaring sa kapwa tao, sa hayop, o sa lahat ng kanyang likha kabilang na ang ating kalikasan.

               Kaya maaring gasgas na linya na ang "pahalagahan ang buhay" bagamat ito ay ating dapat sundin dahil hindi lingid sa atin na ang buhay ay iisa nga lamang, at hindi ito dapat sayangin. Sa halip ito ay ating tatamasahin, sabi nga kasabihang Ingles, "You Only Live Once, better enjoy it." 

KABATAAN

Marami nang mga kinakaharap na problema ang ating bansa ngayon. Isa na rito ang pandemya, mga kalamadidad at iba pa. Ngunit isa sa mga problema na dapat natinf pagtuonan ng pansin ay ang problema sa droga.

Marami sa mga kabataan ngayon ay sa murang edad pa lamang ay nalululong na sa pagbibisyo tulad ng paninigarilyo at paggamit ng drogas. Maraming rason kung bakit nalululong sa drogas ang mga kabataan. Isa sa mga rason kung bakit ito nangayayari ay dahil naiimpluwensyahan sila ng mga taong nakapaligid sa kanila. Mga kaibigan o di kaya’y mga taong akala nila magandang ehemplo sa kanila ngunit masamang impluwensya pala. Ang rason naman ng iba ay dahil sa kahirapan. Dahil sa kahirapan ng buhay ay natututo silang magbisyo at gumamit ng drogas upang makalimutan ang kanilang mga problema. Iba naman ay hinikayat na gumamit nito. Sa una’y tatanggi pa sila ngunit kalauna’y masasanay rin at tuluyan na ngang malululong. Pagkatapos malulong ay tuluyan na ring mawawalan ng landas. 

Kung ito’y mangyayari malaki ang magiging epekto nito sa buhay ng isang tao. May mga oportunidad na masasayang, mga pagkakataon na mawawala at higit sa lahat ang pagsisi. 

Kaya’t huwag na nating hayaan na mangyari pa ulit ang mga ito. Tayong mga kabataan, maging maingat tayo sa ating mga kilos. Isiping mabuti kung ang iyong gagawin ay makakabuti ba o makakasama sayo. Nasa huli ang pagsisi kaya’t ‘wag na nating hayaang maging huli na ang lahat at masira ang ating buhay.

PHOTOGRAPHY

 

Photography is not just about taking pictures, it’s also about taking those precious moments and turn them into photos to forever keep in our minds. I don’t have any great experience with photography but when I am bored I borrow my friend’s phone or use mine to take random pictures, and if I wanted, I would ask some small advice to my friends.

THE EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION IN LOCAL BUSINESSES

               Shopee, Lazada, Amazon and Target. These are only few of the online shops that are commonly used today. With the use of technology, we can just simply avail these products whenever and wherever we want. Products that are even coming from different sides of the world. These things that we enjoy right now are one of the effects of globalization. 

               Globalization is the process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments worldwide. It refers to the technological, political, economic, financial, and cultural exchanges between peoples and nations that have made and continue to make the world a more interconnected and independent place. Does globalization affect the local businesses? Globalization may affect both positively and negatively on local business.  These are some the impacts of globalization to small businesses around the world. Globalization gives access to the global market so every customer can now easily access the products. Globalization also increases competition from around the world. Since there is an easy accessibility of the products, that means there are tons of more tendencies of having businesses that sells the same product or services.  Globalization promotes remote staffing. They can now have employees working in an office on the other side of the world. 

               These are some of the main aspects in which globalization impacts small businesses around the world. This may seem like some major developments, but you are far more likely to weather the storm and remain above the tide if you manage your business.

Love is dynamic. A combination of emotions, attitudes and values correlated with deep feelings of love, protectiveness, comfort, and reverence for another person.

Stories can be very influential to most of us, from children and even to elderly. It can sometimes change how we see the world and make us think about the things around us, especially love stories. In both stories we learned that you have to overcome challenges in which you and your partner have to face when you fall in love, and when your in love green-eyed monster is always there lurking waiting for an opportunity. Jealousy and hate is inevitable when it comes to relationships, whether it's you, your partner, or a third party, it will always occur anytime to anyone, just like in the story of Cupid and Psyche where Venus was jealous of Psyche's beauty which surpassed even Venus' own and with Helen and Paris' story where Hera and Athena was jealous of Helen on the grounds that Paris chose her out of the two.

It's not easy holding a relationship strong and long lasting. Both lovers should hold their relationship together, if one falls, the whole relationship crumbles. But if you trust one another and you can see that he or she would be the one you'll be with til' death, they'll be the person who will help you overcome those challenges thrown to you, they'll make you feel like your world is complete. These stories can help people with anything, it teaches us lessons that we didn't even know we needed it. It lets us create this bubble around us which helps us change our perception on how we see this world.

Choice (taong gustong maging malapit sa iyo dahil sa kabutihan kanyang ginawa na panghabang buhay na pakikipagkaibigan) 

-  LINDY CAIRO

Napili ko si Lindy Cairo ng maging malapit sa akin sapagkat palagi nya akong tinutulungan sa mga gawain. 'Yung kapag nagtatanong ako ng pa ulit-ulit dahil may hindi ako naiintindihan ay sinasagot nya parin. Minsan rin ay siya ang umuudyok sa amin upang gawin ang mga kailangan naming gawin. Itong aking babangitin ay medyo hindi magandang bagay ngunit kadalasan ay inuuna nya ang ibang tao bago ang kanyang sarili. Kapag sa tingin nya na ang tao ay nangangailangan ay tutulungan nya ito. Maswerte kaming mga magkakaiabigan sa kanya sapagkat ayaw at hindi niya hinahayaan na may maiwan sa amin (left behind). Minsan kahit sinasabi nyang pagod na siya ay alam ko na patuloy parin siyang magsisikap upang gawin ang mga bagay. Isa siya sa aking mga kaibigan na aking tinitingala. 

Chance (kung bibigyan ng pagkakataon, ang taong ito ay iyong maging kaibigan kahit sa maiksing panahon dahil sa kanyang ginagawa sa mga tao)

- JERICHO ROSALES

Napili ko si Jericho Rosales na maging kaibigan kahit sa maikling panahon sapagkat saludo ako sa kanyang ginawang pagtulong sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo sa kanilang lugar kasama ang kanyang asawa. Linusong nila ng kanyang asawa ang baha gamit ang kani-kanilang mga surfboard upang tulungan ang mga kababayan nilang na  stranded dahil sa baha. Noong din 2009 ay tumulong din siya sa mga kababayang nasalanta ng bagyo. Isang karangalan ang maging kaibigan ang taong mapagkumbaba. Kahit na umasenso na siya sa buhay ay hindi parin nya nakakalimutang lumingon sa kanyang pinanggalingan at tumutulong parin sa mga taong nangangailangan sa likod ng kamera. 

Change (taong gusto mong baguhin dahil sa masama niyang ugali o nagpabago sa iyong masamang ugali) 

- Clarence Suarez

Napili ko si Clarence, hindi ito masamang ugali ngunit gusto kong baguhin ang ugali niyang nahihiya at parang walang tiwala sa kanyang sarili. Sa tuwing may gagawin kami ay sa tingin nya agad ay di niya kaya. Pinangungunahan niya ang kanyang sarili. Sa tuwing nagsisikap siyang matutunan ganito ganyan ngunit sa huli ay kinakain siya ng pagkahiya niya at walang tiwala sa sarili. Alam namin na kaya niya ngunit nahihiya lang talaga siya at wala siya masyadong tiwala sa sarili niya. Gusto kong baguhin 'yon at gusto ko sa susunod hindi na siyang mahihiyang gawin ang mga bagay na kaya niya naman dahil marami pa ang kaya niyang gawin kung magtitiwala lang siya sa kanyang sarili.

PURPOSE OF AFRICAN MUSIC

 

African music is a tradition mainly played at gatherings at special occasions. The traditional music of Africa, given the vastness of the continent, is historically ancient, rich and diverse, with different regions and nations of Africa having many distinct musical traditions. African music, the musical sounds and practices of all indigenous peoples of Africa, including the Berber in the Sahara and the San (Bushmen) and Khoikhoin (Hottentot) in Southern Africa. The music of European settler communities and that of Arab North Africa are not included in the present discussion. The music of Africa is very important when it comes to religion. The music of Africa is used to transmit messages and ideas, and to record and recount historical events or pass down stories from generation to generation.

 

This work is the 20th century art movement- abstract art. Abstract art uses visual language of shape, color, form, and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in this world.
