Unabia, Mark Oriel Z.

MED 213

1. What are your expectations on:

A. STS as a subject – to analyze the interplay of social factors that have resulted in
scientific and technological outcomes both in the present and in the past.
B. Your classmates – to be helpful if we don’t understand a certain topic.
C. Your professor – to teach us in ways that we can easily understand a certain topic
and to just enjoy our meetings.

2. Mention at least 2 core values of our university and explain it.

Respect – It is a manifestation of how we treat other people and situations. We likewise
value something because of its quality or nature, its general importance and its impact on
society.
Patriotism – Nationalism is rightfully at the center of our institution and community. We
display undying and devoted love for our country and everything that it stands for.

3. As a nationalian student, in what way can you share your help in our university,
our community and our nation.
- Even though we may have hectic lifestyles, we should always find time to give
back to the community. In addition to making me feel good, helping individuals
around me has a surprising number of advantages. Making the neighborhood
a nicer place to live can be accomplished by picking up rubbish and doing some
yard work. This kind of outreach demonstrates how even modest deeds of
kindness may have a significant impact.

4. Why do you think STS as a subject included in your course?

- STS as a subject is being included in courses like Engineering and students
preparing for careers in the sciences, including premeds, are particularly drawn
to undergraduate STS courses, because they aid in shedding light on moral
and ethical issues in the workplace; to Critical thinking, civic involvement, and
cross-disciplinary integration.
 5. As mentioned last meeting, towards the end of this term you are expected to come
up with a study/research; what SDG are you interested with and why?

- Studying the SDG number 3—"Good Health and Well-Being"—would pique my

curiosity. Inequalities in access to health care continue despite significant progress
being made in recent years to improve people's health. Let's start with the COVID-19
epidemic, which has further derailed already rapid development. Every day, thousands
of kids pass away from curable illnesses like tuberculosis and the measles. Hundreds of
women pass away each day either from issues related to childbirth or during pregnancy.
Through prevention and treatment, instruction, immunization campaigns, and sexual
and reproductive healthcare, these deaths can be prevented.

I want to join the group of people who have committed to making such significant efforts
to eradicate the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and other communicable
diseases by 2030, in part because of my interest in the study in this field (SDG "Good
Health and Well Being").
