 DISCUSSION
Poverty is when an individual cannot meet his/her basic needs due to various reasons. Either

he/she lacks the financial capabilities or he/she lacks the necessary resources to meet this so

called basic needs.

We can define poverty as the condition where the basic needs of a family, like food, shelter,

clothing, and education are not fulfilled. It can lead to other problems like poor literacy,

unemployment, malnutrition, etc. A poor person is not able to get education due to lack of

money and therefore remains unemployed.

 DISCUSSION

Corruption, as defined by the World Bank, is a form of dishonesty or criminal offense

undertaken by a person or organization entrusted with a position of authority, to acquire illicit

benefit or abuse power for one’s private gain

Thus, inhibits economic growth and affects business operations, employment and

investments. It also reduces tax revenue and the effectiveness of various financial assistance

programs. The wider society is influenced by a high degree of corruption in terms of lowering

of trust in the law and the rule of law, education and consequently the quality of life (access

to infrastructure, health care). There also does not exist an unambiguous answer as to how

to deal with corruption. Something that works in one country or in one region will not

necessarily be successful in another.

Drug abuse may lead to social, physical, emotional, and job-related problems.

Substance abuse, also known as drug abuse, is the use of a drug in amounts or by methods

which are harmful to the individual or others. It is a form of substance-related disorder.

Differing definitions of drug abuse are used in public health, medical and criminal justice

contexts. Addiction affects not just the body but also on the person’s mental health and

soundness of mind. It is one of the most severe health problems faced around the world and

is termed as a chronic disease.

A conversation with John Clark S. Taganas regarding to the Drug Abuse

Why do some people become addicted, while others don’t?

Simply because we also know that a person’s environment plays a part in addiction. They get

too attached being an addict and lose their selves.

How can you help someone if they are on drugs?

One of the best things you can do for a friend with a serious drug problem is let them know

you are there to encourage them to seek help from a trusted adult maybe a teacher, or

counselor can help.

To think some of the risk factors for addiction comes from their environment. More likely,

especially among teens, include a lack of family involvement, the availability of drugs at

school or in the home, or spending time with friends or family who use drugs. Smoking or

injecting a drug also increases the risk of addiction, possibly because these methods have

the quickest impact on the brain and body.

Addiction is the cause of the mental illness, or whether people with mental illnesses turn to drug use to “self-

medicate.”

The variety of techniques to treat substance abuse including behavioral therapies, family counseling, and more.

 DISCUSSION

Education has been a key part to society since the beginning of time. Distance

learning is usually a course in which an instructors post syllabi, reading assignments, and

schedules on websites, and students send in their assignments by email. Everyone has their

own experience with distance learning. The problem is that everyone learns differently, and

has their own ways of processing information , Online and Modular Learning, in some cases,

is the only way that a student with full-time obligations or with distance limitations can take

advantage of an opportunity for betterment.

A conversation with Cholene Kyle S. Juanico regarding to the Online and Modular

Learning

What are the challenges of modular learning?

As a student, the main challenges that we have encountered are self-studying, poor internet

connection, lack of sleep and time to answer all the modules due to the great number of

activities, distractions, and lack of focus.

For you, what are the advantages of modular instruction for today?

I think, the most important one is that it allows for better evaluation and more focused

revision and improvement.

What is the purpose of modular learning?

Modular approach to teaching enables the learner to have control over his/her learning and

accepts greater responsibility for learning. It demands greater maturity on the part of the

learner.
Why do students struggle with online learning?

Many families are struggle with financial worries, illness, and homelessness, or they may be

vulnerable in other ways that’s why students may no longer have an internet connection, a

device to use, or a space to learn in.

What are the disadvantages of online schooling?

For me as a student, the inability to focus on screen is considered as disadvantage in online

learning and so with technology issues.

 An immersion programme is a form of experiential development

education which sees students from the so-called developed world ‘immersed’

in the culture and day-to-day life of their peers in the developing world. I believe

what we did perhaps the In school work immersion has enhanced our cognitive

skills, immersion students typically develop greater cognitive flexibility,

demonstrating increased attention control, better memory, and superior problem

solving skills as well as an enhanced understanding of their primary language.

In addition, work immersion provides Senior High School learners

with opportunities to become familiar with the workplace, simulate employment,

and to apply their competencies in areas of specialization or applied subjects in

actual work environment to prepare learners for all curriculum exits.
