A. Discuss the following issues, surf again in the internet.

1. Intellectual property rights
- Based on the WIPO publication, Intellectual property
refers to creations of the mind: inventions; literary and
artistic works; and symbols, names and images used in
commerce. This is referred to as the intangible things
created through human intellect. May it be the ones that’s
mainstream to be used by many and the primary source of
information that we get. It is directly from the creator that
we give credit to when we are going to use it.
- Moreover, Intellectual property rights are like any other
property right. They allow creators, or owners, of patents,
trademarks or copyrighted works to benefit from their
own work or investment in a creation. These rights are
outlined in Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights, which provides for the right to benefit from
the protection of moral and material interests resulting
from authorship of scientific, literary or artistic
productions. Simply put, that this right benefited for the
owners to innovate in legal process the invention or the
ideas that they have been made. This is the right that has
been made for people, who likes to garner information, to
QUILAPIO, AIDA RUTH R. ED23 – SOCIAL STUDIES

take on the legalities of obtaining information most

especially, when the ideas are not from them.
 Copyright and rights related to copyright
- Copyright is a type of Intellectual Property rights that in
accordance with WIPO Intl “Copyright laws grant
authors, artists and other creators protection for their
literary and artistic creations, generally referred to as
“works”.” The Copyright serves as the author’s right so
as to protect the ones they invented. Since they are the
owner of the original work, this right leaves them the
authority to make laws for their published works not to be
outsourced unknowingly by them. The rights related to
copyright are rights related to copyright that encompass
rights similar or identical to those of copyright, although
sometimes more limited and of shorter duration. Related
rights are also what we called as neighboring rights
which the responsibility is to protect the legal interests of
certain persons and legal entities that contribute to
making works available to the public or that produce
subject matter which, while not qualifying as works under
the copyright systems of all countries, contains sufficient
creativity or technical and organizational skill to justify
recognition of a copyright-like property right. Which also
benefits in the copyright laws and through their skills and
creativity, they give life for the information or the
invention of the information or literary works done by the
owner. The following beneficiaries of related rights are: •
performers; The rights of performers are recognized
because their creative intervention is necessary to give life
to, for example, motion pictures or musical, dramatic and
QUILAPIO, AIDA RUTH R. ED23 – SOCIAL STUDIES

choreographic works, and because they have a justifiable

interest in the legal protection of their individual
interpretations. • producers of sound recordings (also
referred to as phonograms); The rights of producers of
sound recordings are recognized because their creative,
financial and organizational resources are necessary to
make sound recordings, often based on musical works,
available to the public in commercial form, and because
of their legitimate interest in having the legal resources to
take action against unauthorized uses – be this the making
and distribution of unauthorized copies (piracy) or the
unauthorized broadcasting or communication to the
public of their sound recordings. and • broadcasting
organizations: the rights of broadcasting organizations
are recognized because of their role in making works
available to the public, and in light of their justified
interest in controlling the transmission and
retransmission of their broadcasts. For us to have the
understanding of related rights. The beneficiaries are of
legal consent of the owner’s works and is under the
copyright protection of the authors.

 Industrial property
- Industrial property is one of the two branches under
Intellectual property rights. So if Copyright is all about the
artistic and literary works right, the intellectual property
defined as the property right for industrial purposes. This
includes the invention, industrial designs, trademark or
patent. It also covers the commercial names and
designations and the geographical indication. Mostly, the
Industrial property may be seen as the rights—afforded
QUILAPIO, AIDA RUTH R. ED23 – SOCIAL STUDIES

protection of the national and international intellectual

property laws as what the WIPO Intl encompasses to. so
this kind of rights is for protection against unfair
competition. To put us into an understanding, we can see
as an example the patent for invention, in accordance
with WIPO, Patent defined as also referred to as patents
for invention, are the most widespread means of
protecting technical inventions. The patent system is
designed to contribute to the promotion of innovation and
the transfer and dissemination of technology, to the
mutual advantage of inventors, users of inventions and the
general public. Here it includes the exclusive rights of the
owner to offer the inventions that has been made to the
investors or to the public and to put the right to prevent
the exploitation. Once announced to be his/her invention,
the patent will grant protection against the illegal process
of obtaining information. Like stealing of the inventions
or such.

2. Pornography using internet

- There has been a lot of researches about Pornography, but,
since the digital age came, pornography is placed to the
existence of the computers with internet in the 90s. the
easier access of internet and computers and the increasing
utilization of smartphones lead for people to search for
something more. In fact, as of 2019, there are 4.13 billion
internet users worldwide, up from 3.92 billion in the
previous year. lots of them are using social media
platforms for different purposes and now, even the
pornography happens. According to Short (2012), he
QUILAPIO, AIDA RUTH R. ED23 – SOCIAL STUDIES

stated the meaning of Pornography as any kind of material

aiming at creating or enhancing sexual feelings or
thoughts in the recipient, and at the same time, containing
explicit exposure and/or descriptions of the genitals, an
clear and explicit sexual acts; materials containing men
and women posing or acting naked such as seen in
playboy/playgirl did not contain clear and explicit sexual
acts and were to be disregarded as pornography.”
Internet pornography are the sexual – implicit material
that can be seen in the internet through the use of websites
and other social media platform. from the internet users
today, maybe half of the internet users are doing
pornography with the use of internet. In the Philippines,
the anti – Child Pornography Act of 2009, enacted by the
Philippine Congress which stressed about the protection
of the youth against all forms of exploitation and abuse.
This includes the worth of physical, moral, spiritual,
intellectual, emotional, psychological and social well-
being of the child. The enactment of the aforementioned
law was the defense of the government for the people,
mostly advertisers, who used children to show something
not allowed in the public to see and brings inappropriate
context. Thus, the law prohibited the idea of hiring,
employing or coercing a child to do creation or
production, or To publish offer, transmit, sell, distribute,
broadcast, advertise, promote, export or import any form
of child pornography, any other prohibited ideas are
included in the official gazette of the government that we
QUILAPIO, AIDA RUTH R. ED23 – SOCIAL STUDIES

should look upon in case we are met situations like these

things.
3. Pyramiding scam using the internet
- Pyramiding scam or Pyramid scheme is a form of fraud
that promises participants payment or services for
recruiting others into what is presented as a legitimate
business. it is based on recruiting people rather than
selling products. But most likely, it proceeds to using
products to generate money from each individual. It works
from one person who will be the origin of the scheme and
will only have one payment then recruits another and
makes them pay to join, and that goes for another person
who will be recruited. It may seem to be a legitimate
marketing, but it is illegal. As the one at the top of the
pyramid makes more money and leaves nothing for the
recruiter. It was considered as an “unsustainable” work
since it brings fraudulent acts for people through their
money to be invested for nothing. In the Philippines,
Pyramid scheme is one thing prohibited based on the
Republic Act No. 7394 known as Consumer Act under
Article 53 which states that Chain distribution plans or
pyramid sales schemes shall not be employed in the sale
of consumer products. Pyramiding Scheme took place in
the social media platform as well. A 2019 report from
CNN focused on the social media users being targeted
by a scam which is leaving participants hundreds of
pounds out of pocket. According to the news article,
there are get – rich sites and link that has been passed on
and circulating in social media. Primarily, the victims are
QUILAPIO, AIDA RUTH R. ED23 – SOCIAL STUDIES

mostly people at their 20s. the name of the site is loom

circle or fractal mandala—an old fashioned scam that has
been packaged for the generation today. The only
difference is that, the target market. Where for them to
join they have to pay an amount of £160 and it will return
eight times of that amount. This scheme seems prevalent
even on social media and it sometimes used to collect
information of the person and later points to the bank
account of that person.

4. Gaming or lottery in the internet

- The Philippines is an interesting market for online
gambling. The country is divided into two distinct regions
for gambling purposes. First, there’s the majority of the
country in which gambling is tightly controlled by the
state-owned Philippine Amusement and Gaming
Corporation (PAGCOR). PAGCOR operates all land-
based casinos, and betting outlets across the country.
Locals are welcome to play at approved PAGCOR
locations and online for some forms of gambling.
Filipinos can also visit any of the numerous PAGCOR
betting terminals across the country and are free to gamble
online at offshore websites. The laws for online gaming in
the Philippines are a bit odd. In both regions of the
Philippines, it’s illegal for any independent operator to
offer online betting to locals. However, offshore providers
with no connection to the Philippines may offer their
services to the Philippines. In short, there are two different
sets of laws (or lack of laws) in play here. Citizens of the
QUILAPIO, AIDA RUTH R. ED23 – SOCIAL STUDIES

Philippines are not subject to any laws that ban online

gambling. There was considerable debate on the legality
of placing bets over the internet, but a court ruling in 2012
found that there was no piece of language in Philippine
law that made it an offense to place bets. So, citizens are
free to play wherever they want. Operators must play by a
whole different set of rules. Any online gambling site
licensed in the Philippines is restricted from offering its
services to Filipinos. This has created a situation in which
PAGCOR has a monopoly on land-based gambling but is
cut off from its own market online. There are applications
found in play store that’s free to download, a game such
as TongitsGO, those of the games played in person
transferred into online bonding, that you can play even if
you don’t meet.

B. Essay
1. Do you believe Computer Assited Instruction (CAI) in
some future time can replace teacher in the classroom?
- Other online educational platforms today are revealing
features which offers collected lessons applicable for
students. But then, it may seem as something helpful in
assisting teachers through teaching, I think CAI has to
enhance their features more of like a complete
replacement for teachers. As what I can see in other
educational platforms like online class or blended
learning, The offered features are of the same and from
my personal experience, it is still in need of improvement.
QUILAPIO, AIDA RUTH R. ED23 – SOCIAL STUDIES

And some assisted educational platform that offers unique

features requires payment through premium usage. What
if it is not affordable to students in the future?

2. What problem can be encountered if a school (such as

poor countries) cant afford to provide enough computers
to students? Will CAI work at all with a whole school
using a single computer?
- If would be impossible even in the future that they can
only offer a single computer for many students. However,
it would be applicable and certain if CAI would work on
enhancing its features more of like covers a whole class
and they could use a single computer for it.
