WHAT IS

RESPONSE?
March is National Ethics Month and as we celebrate the annual
Communication Week in the middle of despair and doubts--solidifying
ethical values and education is important in increasing motivation,
enthusiasm, morale, and determination to the awareness of everyone.
The Youth Communicators’ Organization of TRACE College presents this
year’s theme RESPONSE stands for Raising Ethical Standards through
Programs Orienting and Nurturing Student Ethics. The theme’s objective
promotes the implication of ethics and its principles in communication,
education, and most significantly to the lives of the students in TRACE
College for an organization that is professed to perform virtuously and
prim can boost member’s confidence, expectations, commitment, and
positive outlook in life.

So, at this time of hesitations and worries, let us take this moment to
encourage ethical standards and behavior to our networks. Let us
maintain the proportion of ethics in our decisions and execute a creative
strategy to reinforce righteousness and truth to the society we lead
because for George Bernard Shaw "The nations morals are like its teeth,
the more decayed they are the more it hurts to touch them."

 ORATION CONTEST PART 2

CONTEST PIECE

Importance of Family

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, greetings to you all. I deem it a pleasure and a

privilege to say a few words to our netizens.

When we say Family, let us take a break and ponder, why is it important? And what

does it mean to you?

For me, Family is about relationships. Relationship about love and affection, giving and

receiving, respect and understanding, learning and helping, sharing and feeling,

trusting and confiding, service and gratitude. It is about giving and receiving moral

support in times of challenges. It is about sharing a joy, a joy which has no meaning in

solitude.

Most of us are having mistakes of not giving value or importance to our family.

Sometimes, we get mad at them for some other reasons, but we should always put in

our mind that life's too short. So while it is still early, show them how you love them.

Show them that you care for them. Don’t waste the times, days, weeks, and years that

God gave to you. Use it right.

Let me add more special words about family. Our family is the most precious thing we

have. The friends that we have today may not be our friends in the future, but our

family? They will always be our family that will always be there for us through the ups

and downs and love us no matter what.

The value of family is priceless; no one could ever buy them and it cannot be

described by a single word.

Before I end this speech, I would like you to reflect on this quotation: “Family is not an

important thing, they are everything.”
