Pagmumuni-muni sa Paglalakbay: Isang Pagmamasid sa Aking Akademikong Pagsulat

Ang proseso ng paggawa ng isang akademikong papel ay isang paglalakbay na puno ng mga sandali ng
pagkabigo at kagalakan. Habang binabalik-tanaw ko ang aking kamakailang karanasan sa pagsulat,
napakaraming emosyon ang sumasailalim sa akin. Ang paunang pakikibaka sa paghahanap ng isang
malinaw na pokus, ang magagandang oras na ginugol sa pagsasaliksik at pag-aaral ng impormasyon, ang
di-mabilang na mga drafts na puno ng mga rebisyon ⁇ ang lahat ng ito ay bumubuo ng isang tapestry
ng mga alaala na tumutukoy sa proseso ng akademikong pagsulat.

Gayunman, sa gitna ng mga hamon, may mga sandali rin ng matinding kasiyahan. Ang kagalakan ng
pagtuklas ng mga bagong pananaw, ang kagalakan ng pag-aayos ng mga kumplikadong argumento sa
isang coherent na salaysay, ang pakiramdam ng tagumpay nang sa wakas ay makumpleto ang manuskrito
⁇ ang mga karanasan na ito ay nagsilbing mga baliw ng pagganyak, na naggabay sa akin sa
pamamagitan ng mga madilim na yugto ng proseso ng pagsulat.

Sa pagmamasid sa nakaraan, kinikilala ko na ang pinakamalaking paglago ay naganap hindi sa

pangwakas na produkto mismo, kundi sa mga indibidwal na hakbang na humantong sa pagkumpleto nito.
Ang masusing pagsasaliksik ay nagpalala ng aking pagkaunawa sa paksa, na hinatulan ang aking mga
pagpapalagay at pinipilit akong muling suriin ang aking mga naunang ideya. Ang mahigpit na pagtatasa
ay nagpalakas ng aking mga kasanayan sa kritikal na pag-iisip, na nagpapahintulot sa akin na makilala at
pag-aralan ang masalimuot na mga argumento nang mas tumpak.

Marahil ang pinakamahalagang pag-aaral ay nagmula sa paulit-ulit na proseso ng pag-draft at pag-aayos.

Sa bawat pag-uulit ay inialis ko ang mga di-kailangang elemento, pinahusay ko ang aking mga
argumento, at pinalakas ang pangkalahatang kalinawan at pagkakaisa ng aking pagsulat. Ang patuloy na
pag-aayos na ito ay nagdulot sa akin ng malalim na pagpapahalaga sa kahalagahan ng pag-iingat at pansin
sa mga detalye sa paggawa ng isang matibay na akademikong piraso.

Gayunman, ang paglalakbay ay may mga suliranin. Ang mga sandali ng pag-aalinlangan sa sarili at
pagkabigo ay nanganganib na sirain ang aking pagsulong. Ang takot na hindi ako sapat, ang panggigipit
ng mga deadline, at ang pakikibaka upang epektibong maipahayag ang aking mga ideya ang lahat ay
nagdulot ng makabuluhang mga hamon. Gayunman, sa mga sandaling ito nalaman ko ang kahalagahan ng
pagtitiyaga at katatagan. Sa pamamagitan ng pagtagumpayan sa mga hadlang na ito, lalong naunawaan ko
ang aking sariling mga kalakasan at kahinaan, na nagpapahintulot sa akin na harapin ang mga proyektong
pagsulat sa hinaharap nang may higit na kumpiyansa.

Habang ako'y nakatayo sa dulo ng paglalakbay na ito, nadarama ko ang isang pakiramdam ng tagumpay
na pinagsasama ng kapakumbabaan. Ang karanasang ito ay nagdulot sa akin ng matinding paggalang sa
kapangyarihan ng akademikong pagsulat. Ito ay isang kasangkapan na nagbibigay-daan sa atin upang
galugarin ang mga kumplikadong ideya, makisali sa kritikal na diskurso, at mag-ambag sa pagsulong ng
kaalaman. Bagaman ang paglalakbay ay maaaring mahirap, ang mga gantimpala ng paglaki sa isipan at
personal na pag-unlad ay ginagawang kapaki-pakinabang ang pagsisikap.
Sa pagmamasid sa hinaharap, isinasagawa ko ang mga aral na natutuhan mula sa karanasang ito sa aking
mga pagsisikap sa pag-aaral sa hinaharap. Tiwala ako na sa bawat bagong proyekto sa pagsulat, patuloy
kong pahuhusayin ang aking mga kasanayan, palalalimin ang aking pag-unawa, at magbigay ng
makabuluhang kontribusyon sa komunidad ng akademiko. Ang paglalakbay ay maaaring mahaba, subalit
ang patutunguhan ng intelektuwal na kaliwanagan ay nangangako na magiging isang kapaki-pakinabang.
Ang pagkakaroon ng layunin sa pagpupulong ay mahalaga upang magkaroon ng direksyon at
focus ang mga talakayan.
Bilang pangulo ng club, ikaw ang nagpatawag ng kalihim upang maihanda ang memo at agenda
para sa pagpupulong. Ito ay nagpapakita ng iyong papel bilang lider ng club na responsable sa

ay nagpapahiwatig na maaaring may mga komplikasyon o hindi pagkakaunawaan na naganap sa
pagtalakay ng mga paksa.

Ang mga puntong inihain ng pangulo ay tumutukoy sa tema ng club, partisipasyon sa ilang
gawaing pampaaralan, at aktibidad para sa club booth. Ito ay nagpapakita ng iba't-ibang aspeto
ng organisasyon o club na kinakailangang maipag-usapan at mabuo ang mga plano para dito.

Worksheet#2: Modern Standard Dances
Tango
1. The origins of tango trace back to the late 19th century, blossoming in the streets and harbors of
Buenos Aires and Montevideo, where a melting pot of cultures including European immigrants, former
slaves, and the working class mingled. It was influenced by a wide range of dances and music,
including African candombe, Cuban habanera, Spanish tango, and European waltzes and polkas. Oh
what a fiery and dramatic dance! American Style Tango evolved as a ballroom dance from the sultry
Argentine Tango danced by gauchos and prostitutes in the brothels of Buenos Aires. American Style
Tango features sharp movements, head snaps, and a cat-like and stealthy foot action. The music is in
4/4 time and has a marching rhythm.

2. Tango embodies the fundamental characteristics of dancesport, combining close partnership, clear
lead-follow dynamics, musicality, drama, and emotional expression. The dance's unique blend of
passion and control, intimacy and distance, creates an immersive and captivating experience for both
dancers and spectators.

3. Tango is a partnered dance, with a clearly defined leader and follower. This dynamic is central to
tango's structure and choreography.
Closeness: Tango couples dance very close together, with their bodies often touching. This physical
connection is essential for creating the intimate and passionate atmosphere that is characteristic of
tango.
Follow-the-leader: In tango, the leader guides the movement of the follower through a series of steps,
patterns, and figures. The follower's role is to respond to the leader's cues and to create a harmonious
flow of movement.
Lead-follow communication: Tango is a dance of nonverbal communication, with the leader conveying
their intentions through subtle cues and body language. The follower interprets these cues and
responds accordingly, creating a dynamic exchange of energy between the partners.
Musicality: Tango is deeply rooted in music, and the dance is closely synchronized with the rhythm and
melody of the tango orchestra. The dancers' movements are often in direct response to the music,
creating a seamless interplay between movement and sound.
Dramaturgy: The dance's dramatic narrative is further enhanced by the close proximity of the partners
and the intricate interplay of lead and follow.
Emotional connection: Tango is a dance that fosters a deep emotional connection between partners.
The intimacy, physicality, and nonverbal communication create a space for shared emotions and
experiences.

4. These characteristics, when combined, elevate competitive tango from a mere dance to a captivating
performance, captivating the audience with its blend of technical prowess, artistic expression, and the
harmonious partnership of the dancers.
 Waltz
1. This is the granddaddy of all ballroom dances. It grew out of the Germanic dances of the 17th and
18th century such as the Ländler and the Allemande. The name ‘Waltz’ comes from an old German
word walzen, meaning to roll, turn, or glide. Waltz was the first dance in which the man and lady
danced with body contact, and was considered quite scandalous in its day. It was immensely popular
all across Europe, first with the lower classes and then with the aristocracy. Waltz features a lovely,
elegant rise-and-fall action, ¾ time music and a 1-2-3 rhythm.

2. The waltz exemplifies the fundamental characteristics of dancesport by emphasizing partnership and
connection, musicality and timing, technique and posture, expression and artistry, and a commitment to
continuous learning and refinement. These core principles are what make dancesport such a
captivating and rewarding art form, and the waltz serves as a shining example of their embodiment.

3. Partnership and Connection: Dancesport is essentially a partnership dance, and the waltz is no
exception. Partners in the waltz must maintain a close connection and work together harmoniously to
create a flowing and expressive dance. This connection is evident in the way partners hold each other,
their synchronized movements, and the shared emotional expression they convey through their
dancing.
Musicality and Timing: The waltz, with its smooth and flowing tempo, provides a perfect backdrop for
showcasing dancers' musicality. Partners must listen attentively to the music and use their movements
to accentuate the musical phrases and create a seamless connection between their dance and the
music.
Technique and Posture: Dancesport demands a high level of technical proficiency, and the waltz is no
different. Partners must master proper posture, footwork, and body alignment to execute the intricate
steps and movements of the waltz with grace and precision. This technical foundation allows dancers to
move with elegance, control, and balance, creating a visually appealing and technically impressive
performance.
Expression and Artistry: The waltz provides a beautiful and expressive platform for dancers to
showcase their artistry and connect with the audience. Through their movements, facial expressions,
and overall presentation, waltz dancers can convey a range of emotions, from romantic tenderness to
joyful exuberance.
Continuous Learning and Refinement: Dancesport is a journey of continuous learning and refinement,
and the waltz embodies this spirit. Dancers constantly strive to improve their technique, expand their
repertoire, and deepen their understanding of the dance. The waltz offers endless opportunities for
exploration and growth, allowing dancers to refine their artistry and bring new dimensions to their
performances.

4. The characteristics of Waltz are important in competitive dance as they define the style, grace, and
elegance of the dance. These characteristics include the smooth and flowing movements, rise and fall
motion, and the closed hold posture. They contribute to the beauty and technicality of the dance, and
judges in competitive settings look for the proper execution of these characteristics in order to
determine the quality of a performance.
 Foxtrot
1. Foxtrot is the dance of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. This smooth and elegant dance had its
beginnings in a New York theatre in 1914. There, a vaudeville actor named Harry Fox began dancing a
series of trotting steps to ragtime music as a part of his act. Eventually the dance evolved to incorporate
the walking and brush steps that make this dance popular with beginners and advanced dancers alike.
Foxtrot is danced to music with a 4/4 time signature (think Frank Sinatra) and has two rhythms: slow-
slow-quick-quick and slow-quick-quick. International Style Foxtrot uses the same music as their
American Style counterparts, but the dances are different and more difficult. They are all done in closed
position and the couples pass their feet instead of close them at the end of measures (no box steps in
International Style!) The timing is more complex and there are new technique challenges such as heel
turns. American Style Foxtrot is the easiest Smooth dance; International Style Foxtrot is the most
difficult.

2. In conclusion, the foxtrot exemplifies the fundamental characteristics of dancesport through its
emphasis on partnership, connection, smoothness, elegance, musicality, and a rich history of evolution
and competitive dance. It is a dance that continues to captivate audiences and inspire dancers
worldwide.

3. Partnership and Connection: Dancesport is inherently a partnership, and the foxtrot is no exception.
Partners in the foxtrot must work together in harmony, each complementing the other's movements.
Smoothness and Flow: The foxtrot is known for its smooth, flowing movements. The dance is
characterized by a continuous flow of steps, with no abrupt transitions or pauses.
Elegance and Posture: The foxtrot is an elegant dance, and this elegance is reflected in the dancers'
posture and carriage. Partners must maintain an upright, elongated posture throughout the dance, with
their heads held high and their shoulders relaxed. This elegant posture contributes to the overall
sophistication and appeal of the foxtrot.
Musicality and Timing: Dancesport is a form of musical expression, and the foxtrot is no exception.
Dancers must be able to interpret and respond to the music, using their movements to convey the
mood and rhythm of the piece. This musicality is evident in the foxtrot's use of syncopation and subtle
accents.
Evolution and Competitive Dance: The foxtrot originated in the early 20th century and has evolved over
time to reflect changing social and cultural trends. As dancesport developed into a competitive sport,
the foxtrot became more standardized and formalized, with a focus on technical precision and
adherence to specific patterns and figures.

4. By mastering these characteristics, foxtrot dancers can captivate audiences and impress judges in
competitive settings. Their ability to blend technical prowess with artistry, musicality, and connection
elevates their performances, showcasing the elegance and grace that define the foxtrot.
 Quickstep
1. In the early 1920s, dance instructors and enthusiasts began experimenting with blending the
elements of the Slow Foxtrot and the Charleston. They sped up the tempo of the Slow Foxtrot and
incorporated some of the Charleston's syncopated rhythm and quick steps. This new dance became
known as the "Quick Time Foxtrot" or "Quick Foxtrot." By the mid-1920s, the Quick Foxtrot had evolved
into its own distinct dance, now known as the Quickstep. The Quickstep was further refined and
standardized in the 1930s and 1940s, and it became a staple of ballroom dancing competitions.
The newcomer here is Quickstep, which is a fast, light, and elegant dance in which the partners seem
to fly around the ballroom and execute a series of kicks, skips, jumps, and runs. This is a dance for
people with high energy and who like to have a lot of fun. It has a kid-like quality. The speed of the
dance is around 200 beats per minute, is in 4/4 time , and is one of the five standard ballroom dances.

2. In summary, the quickstep exemplifies the fundamental characteristics of dancesport by combining

partnership, musicality, athleticism, artistry, and the competitive spirit of sport. It is a dance that
demands both technical skill and artistic expression, making it a popular choice for dancers and
audiences alike.

3. Partnership: Dancesport is a two-person activity that emphasizes teamwork, communication, and

connection between the partners. In quickstep, partners must move in close harmony, maintaining a
constant connection through their frames and bodies.
Musicality: Dancesport is deeply rooted in music, and dancers must interpret the rhythm, melody, and
dynamics of the music through their movements. Quickstep is characterized by its upbeat tempo and
syncopated rhythms, which dancers must express through their footwork, body movements, and overall
presentation.
Athleticism: Dancesport is a physically demanding activity that requires strength, stamina, agility, and
coordination. Quickstep, in particular, is known for its quick footwork, fast changes of direction, and
intricate patterns.
Artistry: Dancesport is not just about technical execution; it is also about artistry and expression.
Dancers must convey emotions, tell a story, and captivate the audience with their performance.
Quickstep offers opportunities for dancers to showcase their creativity and flair through their styling,
embellishments, and overall presentation.
Sport: Dancesport is recognized as a sport by international organizations, and competitions are held at
the highest levels. Quickstep is one of the five standard dances in dancesport competitions, and it is
characterized by its precision, athleticism, and elegance.

4. The successful execution of these characteristics is essential for quickstep dancers to excel in
competitive settings. Judges evaluate each aspect, assessing the dancers' technical prowess,
musicality, artistry, connection, speed, agility, and endurance, ultimately determining their placement in
the competition.
 Viennese Waltz
1. This whirling, thrilling dance dates back to the early 1700’s in Europe. It was a dance first popular
with the common folk and then with the upper classes. In 1774, the great writer Goethe wrote this about
dancing the Viennese Waltz at a country dance, “Never have I moved so lightly. I was no longer a
human being. To hold the most adorable creature in one’s arms and fly around with her like the wind,
so that everything around us fades away.” Viennese Waltz is danced in fast ¾ time with a 1-2-3 rhythm
and features a series of left and right turns as the couple whirls around the dance floor. Popular
Viennese Waltz songs include “The Blue Danube” and “The Skater’s Waltz.”

2. Overall, the Viennese Waltz perfectly embodies the fundamental characteristics of dancesport. It is a
fast, flowing, and intimate dance that requires exceptional athleticism, coordination, and connection
between partners. As a result, it is one of the most popular and beloved ballroom dances in the world

3. Speed: The Viennese Waltz's fast tempo demands quick footwork and precise turns, which requires
athleticism and coordination.
Flow: The continuous movement of the Viennese Waltz requires the dancers to maintain proper weight
transfer and alignment, creating a sense of effortless grace.
Embrace: The close embrace in the Viennese Waltz fosters a sense of connection and partnership
between the dancers, allowing for more complex footwork.

4. In competitive Viennese Waltz, dancers are evaluated on their mastery of these characteristics. The
Viennese Waltz, with its demanding yet exhilarating nature, continues to fascinate and challenge
dancers worldwide, pushing them to the limits of their technical and artistic abilities.
Rumba and cha-cha are both popular Latin dances that originated in Cuba. They share some
similarities, but they also have some key differences.

Rumba is a slow, sensual dance that is characterized by its smooth, rolling movements and its
emphasis on romantic expression. Rumba dancers often wear tight-fitting clothing that accentuates
their curves.

Cha-cha is a faster, more playful dance that is characterized by its syncopated rhythm and its

headdresses.

Overall, rumba and cha-cha are both exciting and enjoyable dances, but they have different appeals.
Rumba is a great dance for people who want to connect with their partner and express themselves
in a romantic way, while cha-cha is a great dance for people who want to have some fun and let
loose.

Here are some additional points of comparison:

Footwork: Rumba footwork is characterized by its use of Cuban motion, which is a type of step that
involves rocking the weight from side to side. Cha-cha footwork is characterized by its use of chasse
steps, which are a type of step that involves sliding the feet together.

Partner work: Rumba partner work is typically very close and intimate. Cha-cha partner work is
typically more playful and flirtatious.

Music: Rumba music is typically slow and sensual, with a strong emphasis on percussion. Cha-cha
music is typically faster and more upbeat, with a syncopated rhythm.

Both rumba and cha-cha originated in Cuba, drawing inspiration from Afro-Cuban rhythms and
traditions.

Both dances are characterized by a syncopated rhythm with a distinct emphasis on the clave, a
percussion pattern that forms the backbone of many Latin American dances.

Rumba and cha-cha are both partner dances that emphasize connection and intimacy.

Both dances incorporate hip movements, body rolls, and sway as core elements of their style.

Over time, both rumba and cha-cha have evolved into various styles and variations, each with its
own unique characteristics and interpretations.

Both rumba and cha-cha have transcended their Cuban origins to become widely recognized and
practiced dances around the world.

Rumba and cha-cha hold significant cultural importance, representing the rich heritage of Cuba and
the broader Latin American diaspora.

 Jive was first demonstrated by Cab Calloway in 1934. It caught on in the United
States in the 1940s and was influenced by the Boogie, Rock & Roll,
African/American Swing, and Lindyhop. The name either comes from jive being a
form of glib talk or from African dance terms. Jive became a generic term for swing
in the United Kingdom. Jive is similar to a triple-step East Coast Swing. Jive,
however, is much faster, arguably more elegant (and less earthy), and uses a lot of
knee and hip action.
Coastal erosion is the gradual wearing away of land by natural processes such as waves, tides, and
currents. It can also be caused by human activities such as deforestation, construction, and sand mining.

Causes of Coastal Erosion

 Waves: Waves are the most powerful force that contributes to coastal erosion. As they crash against the shore, they
pick up rocks, sand, and other sediment and carry them away.

 Tides: Tides are the rise and fall of the sea level. As the tide comes in, it floods the shore and can carry away
sediment. As the tide goes out, it can
expose the shore to further erosion from
waves.

 Currents: Currents are flows of water

in the ocean. They can transport sediment
away from the shore and cause erosion.

 Sea-level rise: Sea-level rise is the

gradual increase in the average sea level. It is
caused by a number of factors, including
climate change and the melting of glaciers and ice sheets. As
sea levels rise, the shoreline can move inland, causing
erosion.

 Human activities: Human activities can also contribute

to coastal erosion. Deforestation can remove trees that hold soil in place, making it more susceptible to erosion.
Construction can damage the natural defenses of the coast, such as sand dunes and wetlands. Sand mining
can remove sediment from the coast, making it more vulnerable to erosion.

Prevention of Coastal Erosion

There are a number of ways to prevent coastal erosion. Some of
the most common methods include:

 Beach nourishment: Beach nourishment is the

process of adding sand to a beach to restore its natural profile.
This can help to protect the coast from erosion by creating a
barrier against waves and tides.

 Seawalls: Seawalls are structures that are built along the coast to protect it from erosion. They are typically
made of concrete or stone and are designed to deflect waves and tides.

 Vegetative buffers: Vegetative buffers are

strips of vegetation that are planted along the coast.
They can help to trap sediment and reduce erosion by
slowing down the movement of wind and water.

 Coastal planning and management: Coastal planning and management is

the process of developing and implementing policies to protect the coast from
erosion. This can include zoning regulations, building codes, and public
education programs.

It is important to note that there is no single solution to coastal erosion. The best approach to prevention will vary
depending on the specific location and the type of erosion that is occurring. In some cases, it may be necessary to
use a combination of methods.
 TYPE DESCRIPTION

Mechanical erosion of waves Mechanical erosion of waves refers to the process

by which waves wearing away and moving
sediment, rock, or other materials along a coastline
or underwater. It involves the physical action of
waves crashing against the shore or seabed,
causing abrasion, corrosion, and transportation of
sediment particles.

Weathering Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks,

soil, and minerals through exposure to the
atmosphere and environmental factors such as
wind, rain, temperature changes, and biological
activity.

Bioerosion Bioerosion is the process by which organisms,

such as marine animals or microorganisms,
degrade and erode hard substrates, such as rocks
or coral reefs, through their feeding or burrowing
activities.

Mass movement Mass movement, bulk movements of soil and rock

debris down slopes in response to the pull of
gravity, or the rapid or gradual sinking of the
Earth’s ground surface in a predominantly vertical
direction. Mass movements on slopes and sinking
mass movements are often aided by water and the
significance of both types is the part each plays in
the alteration of landforms.

 According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), human
activities along the coast such as land reclamation, port development, shrimp farming, and
offshore activities such as dredging, sand mining in combination with natural forces often
exacerbate coastal erosion in many places and jeopardize opportunities for coasts to fulfill their
socio-economic and ecological roles in the long term at a reasonable societal cost.

Additionally, Internet Geography states that development, agriculture, industry, and coastal
management are four human activities that affect the coast. Development of tourist facilities,
housing, and office development put pressure on the coast. Agriculture can lead to extra grazing
land, which puts pressure on wildlife habitats. Industrial developments dominate coastal
environments along some stretches of the UK coast. Coastal management can have a range of
impacts on coastal environments. Some hard engineering strategies can cause rates of erosion to
increase downdrift of the protected are.
To prevent coastal erosion, there are several measures that can be taken. According to Sciencing,
some of the ways to stop coastal erosion include:

 Breakers: Breakers can be placed in the water at certain points to slow down the waves. This
method will not stop the erosion, but it will slow it down. However, you will need to obtain a
permit from the state before you begin.
 Natural Resources: A living shoreline is always going to help. Make sure you plant plenty of
seaweed and create an environment that sea creatures will be attracted to. More life means less
chance of erosion, which is exactly what you’re going for.
 Nourishment: Beach nourishment is a great option for stopping erosion. The best thing you can
do is transplant sand from other areas. In some cases, you will be able to purchase sand in
bulk, which is a great way to keep your beach looking nice and healthy.
 The Wind: Wind breaks are always a good idea. These can be small fences that you set back
from the beach a little bit. More than likely you’ve seen these somewhere before, probably at
one of the more popular beaches.
 Barriers: Barrier walls can be placed at the beach if you’re not entirely worried about aesthetics.
This will stop the waves from hitting the sand and eroding it over time. It may not look great, but
it will do the job, especially if you have a house on the beach that you need to protect.

This article discusses the positive impact of technology on education, including increased flexibility,
personalized learning, and access to a wealth of information and resources. It also mentions the ability for
students to learn at their own pace and from anywhere, as well as the use of adaptive learning software to
create customized lesson plans.

There are different motivations for integrating technology into learning, for instance, to improve student
learning outcomes, improve access to learning, and enhance learner motivation (Bower, 2017).

Fisher, et al. (2014) discuss how classrooms are turning to technology for teaching and learning, and how
teacher’s roles have changed. The teacher becomes the facilitator, who takes the students on their learning
journey, learning with them instead of ‘teaching’ them. Students needs to make judgements about and be able
to calculate the value of the content they gather

Pagpapatupad ng Edukasyong Sekswal Bilang Isa sa mga Pangunahing Paksa sa Bawat

Paaralang Katoliko

Sa mga Kristayanong at Katoliko na paaralan, tinuturuan ang mga mag-aaral na ang bawat buhay
ay banal at mahalaga. Bilang isang resulta ng kontrobersyal na kalikasan at mapamukaw na
kahulugan, ang pagtuturo ng edukasyong sekswal ay bahagyang limitado. Ngunit, ipinapakita sa
mga pag-aaral na ang kakulangan sa edukasyon ay nagreresulta ng mga di kanais-nais na bagay.
Marami ang madalas na hindi nakauunawa sa terminong "sex education." Ito ay hindi lamang
nakatuon sa pagtatalik, o umiikot sa terminong 'seks,' bagkus ay naglalaman ng kahalagahan at
katuparan ng pangkalahatang kalusugan—pisikal, mental, emosyonal, at moral.
Ayon sa mga datos at impormasyon na aking nakalap at nakolekta, halos 62.5% na mga mag-
aaral galing sa Katolikong paaralan ay sumasang-ayon sa pagpapatupad ng programang ito, sa
mga argumento na: ang mga kabataan ay dapat na edukado o may kaalaman tungkol sa paksang
ito upang maging mas responsable at magkaroon ng kamalayan; at, ang relihiyon ay hindi isang
batayan upang matuto o pag-aralan ang mga bagay-bagay. Sa kabilang dako, 37.5% ng mga
nakapanayam, pangunahing mga tagapagturo, ay sumalungat dahil sa kanilang paniniwala na ang
paksa na ito ay masyadong kontrobersyal para sa mga mag-aaral na hindi handa na maging
edukado, at ito ay papel o reponsibilidad na ng mga magulang na bigyang impormasyon at
kamalayan ang kani-kanilang anak patungkol sa paksang ito.
Gayunman, tingnan ang iba pang posibilidad. Ayon kay Morana (2017), ang mga kabataan,
partikular ang mga kababaihan, ay lumago sa isang kulturang hyper-sexualized na nagpatibay sa
paniniwala na ang anumang bagay na ginagawa sa ngalan ng 'pleasure' o kasiyahan ay
katanggap-tanggap dahil sila ay tao rin. Kung kaya, ang edukasyong sekswal ay higit na
inirerekomenda sa ganitong tiyak na sitwasyon—upang lubos na maiwasan ang iba't-ibang
ekspirementasyong nakababahala na maaaring humantong sa "teenage pregnancy" at mga isyung
pangkalusugan gawa ng pagkawalang bahala at kalimitahang kaalaman sa mga bagay-bagay.
Bilang karagdagan, ang pagdadalang tao, partikukar sa mga kabataan, ay isa sa mga
pinakamainit na isyu na dapat masolusyunan. Ang edukasyong sekswal ay pangunahing
pinakamahusay na paraan. Sa pamamagitan nito, dahan-dahan at tiyak na makakakuhang sapat
na kaalaman ang bawat indibidwal na makatutulong sa epektibong aplikasyon.
Bilang resulta ng mga potensyal na kinalabasan, ang programang "sex education" ay kailangan
ng mainam na pagpaplano. Upang epektibong maituro, ang mga tagapagturo ay kinakailngan na
maging handa at may bukas na isipan, at higit sa lahat ay may angking galing, kasanayan, at
kaalaman upang epektibong matuto ang mga mag-aaral.

KARUKHAAN

Ang karalitaan, isang patuloy na sakit sa lipunan at

nakababahala sa buhay ng milyon-milyong tao sa buong daigdig.
Ito'y isang kumplikadong isyu, na malalim na nakaugat sa mga
sosyedad, at ang mga epekto nito ay malalayong-abot at
nakamamatay. Hindi lamang kawalan ng materyal na mga pag-aari;
ito ay isang kasalatan ng pangunahing mga pangangailangan, isang
hadlang sa mga pagkakataon, at isang pinagmumulan ng awanggan
o walang-katapusang kahirapan.

Iba’t-iba ang mukha ng kahirapan, at bawat isa ay may

kakaibang mga sugat ng kawalang-kakayahan. Sa mga
pamayanan sa kanayunan, ang karalitaan ay nakikita sa anyo
ng pagsasaka para lamang sa pangangailangan, kung saan ang
mga pamilya ay walang tigil na nagsisikap upang makabuo
ng kaunting ani, na halos hindi sapat upang mapanatili ang
kanilang sarili.

Ang mga kahihinatnan ng pagiging anak-dalita o mahirap ay higit pa

sa kagyat na kirot ng gutom at kawalan ng tirahan. Ito ang lugar ng
maraming dilema sa lipunan, na nagpapatuloy sa pag-ikot ng kawalang-
basa, sakit, at kawalan ng pag-asa. Ang mga bata mula sa maralitang
pamilya ay karaniwang hindi nakakakuha ng kalidad na edukasyon, na
nagpapahintulot sa kanilang pag-unlad sa pag-iisip at pinapababa ang
kanilang mga pag-asa sa hinaharap. Dahil sa kakulangan ng sapat na
nutrisyon, hindi sila lumalaki at nagiging mahina ang kanilang resistensya,
kaya mas madaling magkasakit.

Ang patuloy na pakikibaka para sa katiwasayan ng

buhay ay nagdudulot ng damdamin ng kawalan ng pag-asa,
kapangyarihan, at pag-iisa. Ito ay isang kinakailangan para
sa isang makatarungan at pantay na daigdig. Isang hamon na
humihiling ng sama-samang pagkilos, isang pinagsamang
pagsisikap ng mga indibiduwal, mga pamayanan, mga
pamahalaan, at mga internasyonal na organisasyon. Sa
pamamagitan ng pagkakaisa, masisira natin ang mga kadena
ng kahirapan at maibibigay ng kapangyarihan sa mga bumuo
ng mas maliwanag na kinabukasan para sa kanilang sarili at
sa mga henerasyon na darating.
Ang teknolohiya ay nagbibigay ng maraming benepisyo sa ating pang-araw-araw na buhay. Ito
ay nagpapadali ng mga gawain, nagbibigay ng impormasyon, at nagpapakonekta sa atin sa iba’t
ibang bahagi ng mundo. Ngunit, may mga negatibong epekto rin ang pagdedepende natin sa
teknolohiya.
Ang pagdedepende natin sa teknolohiya ay maaaring magdulot ng ilang mga panganib.
Halimbawa, maaaring magdulot ito ng pagkakaroon ng mas mababang antas ng pisikal na
aktibidad, dahil mas madaling maglaro ng video games o manood ng TV kaysa mag-ehersisyo.
Maaari rin itong magdulot ng pagkakaroon ng mas mababang antas ng pakikipagtalastasan sa
ibang tao, dahil mas madaling mag-text o mag-chat kaysa makipag-usap nang harapan. Bukod pa
rito, maaari rin itong magdulot ng pagkakaroon ng mas mababang antas ng kasanayan sa pag-
aaral, dahil mas madaling maghanap ng sagot sa internet kaysa mag-aral nang maigi.
Upang maiwasan ang mga negatibong epekto na ito, mahalaga na malaman natin kung paano
gamitin ang teknolohiya nang wasto. Dapat nating siguraduhin na hindi ito nakakaapekto sa ating
kalusugan at kabutihan. Maaari nating gawin ito sa pamamagitan ng pagtatakda ng limitasyon sa
oras na ginugugol natin sa paggamit ng teknolohiya, tulad ng paglalaro ng video games o
panonood ng TV. Dapat din tayong maghanap ng iba pang mga paraan upang mapalitan ang mga
gawain na nakakatulong sa ating kalusugan at kabutihan, tulad ng pag-eheersisyo o
pakikipagtalastasan sa ibang tao.
Sa kabuuan, hindi dapat nating iwasan ang teknolohiya dahil ito ay mayroong maraming
benepisyo. Ngunit, mahalaga rin na malaman natin kung paano gamitin ito nang wasto upang
maiwasan ang mga negatibong epekto nito.

POSISYONG PAPEL

Ang Ating Buhay ay Nakadepende sa Teknolohiya

Ang teknolohiya ay naging isang mahalagang bahagi ng ating buhay, at mahirap isipin
ang isang daigdig na wala ito. Ginagamit natin ang teknolohiya para makipag-usap, magtrabaho,
matuto, at maglibang. Gayunman, may lumalaking pag-aalala tungkol sa ating pag-asa sa
teknolohiya, at sa posibleng negatibong mga kahihinatnan ng pag-asa na ito. Ang impluwensiya
ng teknolohiya ay hindi maikakaila, at ang epekto nito ay patuloy na lumalaki nang mabilis.
Maraming pakinabang ang teknolohiya. Ginawa nitong mas madali at mas maginhawa
ang ating buhay sa maraming paraan. Halimbawa, maaari na tayong makipag-usap sa mga tao sa
buong daigdig sa pamamagitan ng pag-click lamang ng isang pindutan. Maaari rin nating ma-
access ang impormasyon at matuto ng mga bagong bagay nang mas madali kaysa dati. Pinabuti
rin ng teknolohiya ang kalidad ng ating buhay sa maraming paraan. Halimbawa, ang mga
pagsulong sa medisina ay nakatulong upang malunasan ang mga sakit at mapahaba ang buhay.
Gayunman, may ilang disbentaha rin sa ating pag-asa sa teknolohiya. Ang isa sa mga ikinabahala
ay ang pagiging adik sa teknolohiya. Ang mga tao ay maaaring gumugol ng maraming oras sa
kanilang mga telepono o computer, anupat binabalewala ang iba pang mahahalagang aspeto ng
kanilang buhay. Karagdagan pa, ang teknolohiya ay maaaring gamitin upang kumalat ng maling
impormasyon at propaganda. Noong nakaraan, kailangang matuto ang mga tao na malutas ang
kanilang mga problema nang mag-isa. Gayunman, ngayon tayo'y makapagtitiwala sa teknolohiya
na gumawa ng maraming bagay para sa atin. Ito'y maaaring humantong sa pagkawala ng mga
kasanayan sa paglutas ng mga problema at ng pagtitiwala sa sarili. May mga bagay na maaari
nating gawin upang mabawasan ang ating pag-asa sa teknolohiya. Dapat tayong magtakda ng
limitasyon sa dami ng panahon na ginugugol natin sa ating mga telepono at computer. Ang isa
pang paraan upang mabawasan ang ating pag-asa sa teknolohiya ay ang pag-aaral ng mga
bagong kasanayan. Ito'y magbibigay sa atin ng isang bagay na gagawin kapag hindi natin
ginagamit ang teknolohiya, at ito'y magbibigay din sa atin ng higit na katatagan. Sa wakas,
kailangan nating maging mas kritikal sa impormasyon na nakikita natin sa online. Hindi natin
dapat paniniwalaan ang lahat ng ating binabasa, at dapat nating suriin ang impormasyon mula sa
maraming pinagkukunan.
Ang teknolohiya ay isang makapangyarihang kasangkapan, at maaari itong gamitin para
sa mabuti o para sa masama. Mahalaga na malaman ang posibleng negatibong mga kahihinatnan
ng ating pag-asa sa teknolohiya, at gumawa ng mga hakbang upang mabawasan ang ating pag-
asa dito. Sa pamamagitan ng pagiging mas maingat sa kung paano natin ginagamit ang
teknolohiya at sa pamamagitan ng pag-aaral ng mga bagong kasanayan, maaari nating lumikha
ng isang mas balanseng relasyon sa teknolohiya.
Dinisenyo upang ihanda ang mga mag-aaral na nagpapahayag ng masidhing interes sa pagkuha ng mga degree
sa kolehiyo na nakatuon sa Science, Technology, Engineering, at Mathematics (STEM), ang mga senior high
school na mag-aaral ay magiging nakalantad sa mga aktibidad sa pag-aaral na magpapahusay sa kanilang
kaalaman at kasanayan sa pag-aaral ng data, pag-unawa sa mga epekto sa totoong mundo, at pagsasagawa ng
pananaliksik.

Sa aking pinarangalan na guro at mga tagapakinig, magandang umaga

Tinukoy ko ang mga kadahilanan ng mga mag-aaral sa pagpili ng STEM strand na may potensyal na makisali
sa mga mag-aaral sa paghubog ng kanilang mga kasanayan alinsunod sa kanilang napili na kurso.

1) Karera, kung saan ang mag-aaral ay nagsasabi na ito ay may kaugnayan sa kurso na kanilang dadalhin sa
kolehiyo at sa trabaho na nais nila sa hinaharap.

2) Interes, sinabi ng ilang mag-aaral na nais nilang hamunin ang kanilang sarili sa Mathematics at Science
upang mapabuti ang kanilang mga pag-unawa at kasanayan.

3) Mga Pangyayari na Hindi Makokontrol, kung saan wala silang ibang pagpipilian dahil sa desisyon ng
kanilang magulang na kunin ang hiwa. Inaakala ng mga mag-aaral na ang STEM strand ay ang tamang
pagpipilian para sa kanila. Ang dalubhasang paksa tulad ng Mathematics at Science sa strand na ito ay
napakahalaga sa mga mag-aaral na nangangailangan ng mastery sa kanilang tertiary degree.

Ang STEM strand ay dinisenyo upang palakihin ang curiosity, problem solving ability, at communication
skills ng mga senior high school students. Sa STEM strand, ang mga nagtapos ay:

Nakapag-unlad ng mas matindi na pakiramdam ng pagkamalikhain at pagkamalikhain na mahalaga sa pagbuo

ng mga bagong ideya at mga pagbabago

Maging mas nakahilig sa pag-eksperimento at maging mas bukas sa mga panganib

Maari nilang ilapat ang kaalaman na natutuhan nila sa klase sa pang-araw-araw na mga sitwasyon, lalo na sa
kanilang mga susunod na kurso

Magkaroon ng mga mahahalagang kakayahan na magpapahintulot sa kanila na magtagumpay sa kanilang pinili

na mga kurso at, sa kalaunan, makakatulong sa kanila na maging kuwalipikado para sa mga trabaho sa STEM
strand

Ang malalaking porsyento ng mga mag-aaral sa STEM na may trabaho ay dahil sa patuloy na paglago ng
industriya at teknolohiya, at ang paglaki ng mga klase ng mga bagong gamot at pamamaraan sa paggamit ng
mga manggamot.

At dahil din dito, ay siya rin may malaking pag-unlad sa paggamit ng teknolohiya at pagdami ng mga
manggagawa na maaaring may kinalaman sa teknolohiya at makinarya.

Dahil sa pag-unlad ng mundo at teknolohiya ay siya ring pag-unlad ng buhay ng mga tao, maraming mga
kababaihan ang nagnanais magtayo ng mga negosyo sa kanilang sariling mga tahanan. Dahil dito, marami din
ang mga trabaho na kinakailangan ng mga engineer at arkitekto.

Ang larangan ng STEM ay naglalayong maging mas sibilisado sa ating mundo sa pamamagitan ng pagtuturo
sa mga kabataan kung paano gagamitin ang mga asignatura tulad ng matematika at kung paano magtatag ng
mga bagong istraktura sa kanilang komunidad.

Talumpati

Mga minamahal kong tagapakinig, magandang araw po sa inyong lahat. Ako po ay narito
ngayon upang ating pag-usapan tungkol sa isang napakahalagang disiplina na makakatulong sa
ating lahat upang umunlad at makapag-ambag sa lipunan. Ang STEM ay nangangahulugang
agham, teknolohiya, inhinyeriya, at matematika. Ito ang mga larangan na nag-uudyok ng
pagbabago at nag-aayos ng pinakamalaking problema sa mundo ngayon.
Ano nga ba ang larangan ng STEM? Ang STEM ay isang pangunahing disiplina na
nagtuturo ng mga konsepto sa agham, teknolohiya, inhinyero at matematika. Ito ay hindi lamang
isang pangkaraniwang kurso o asignatura na ating pinag-aaralan sa paaralan. Ito ay isang
mahusay na pondasyon para sa ating kinabukasan, lalo na kung nais nating magkaroon ng mga
trabahong mataas ang sahod at may malaking potensyal. Sa panahon ngayon, ang mundo ay
patuloy na nagbabago at umuunlad dahil sa mga makabagong teknolohiya at inobasyon. Ang
mga ito ay bunga ng mga pag-aaral at pagsisikap ng mga taong may kaalaman at kasanayan sa
STEM. Ang pag-aaral ng STEM ay nagbibigay sa atin ng maraming benepisyo at oportunidad.
Una, ito ay nagpapalawak ng ating kaalaman at nagpapahusay ng ating kasanayan sa iba’t ibang
larangan ng agham, teknolohiya, inhinyero at matematika. Ito ay nagtuturo sa atin kung paano
gamitin ang lohika, katwiran, imahinasyon at kreatibidad upang malutas ang mga problema at
makabuo ng mga solusyon. Pangalawa, ito ay nagpapataas ng ating kakayahang makipag-
ugnayan at makipagtulungan sa iba. Ito ay nagpapakita ng kahalagahan ng pagkakaroon
ng malikhaing paglutas ng problema at kritikal na pag-iisip. Pangatlo, ito ay nagpapalakas ng
ating kumpiyansa sa sarili at nagpapamulat sa atin ng mga posibilidad na maabot ang ating mga
pangarap.
Ang STEM ay isang napakagandang oportunidad para sa atin upang magkaroon ng isang
masaganang buhay. Ito ay isang hamon na dapat nating tanggapin at pagbutihin. Ito ay isang
oportunidad na dapat nating pahalagahan at gamitin. Ito ay isang tungkulin na dapat nating
gampanan at ibahagi. Sa pag-aaral ng STEM, hindi lamang natin napapabuti ang ating sarili,
kundi pati na rin ang ating pamilya, komunidad at bansa. Yon lamang po, maraming salamat!
Isang karangalan para sa akin ang pagpaunlakan nyo ako, bilang STEM student ng Virgin of

INTRODUCTION TO THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE HUMAN PERSON

Socratic Dialogue:
Person 1: What do you think love is, exactly?
Person 2: When it comes to love, some people would say it is one of the most important human
emotions.
Person 1: What do you mean when you say that you love something or that you are in love with
someone?
Person 2: It's interesting that you asked.Without even knowing what it is that we are attempting to define,
how can we define it? We appear to be caught in a cycle. Love is something we do not understand, and
without understanding it, we cannot learn what it is.
Person 1: That can't be. All of this time, you have just been searching for love?
Person 2: Yes, that is true.
Person 1: Well my love, It is clear that love is obtaining whatever makes you happy.
Person 2: I suppose, we accept the love we think we deserve.

Hegelian Dialects:
Thesis: Love would not only be composed of a description of such feeling, but also argue through the
establishment of several facts the reasons for such consideration.
Antithesis: Love and hate are intense emotions, and that indifference is the absence of any emotional
investment.
Synthesis: Love, in Mann’s world, can be said to refer to any attempt to break down the barriers that
isolate individuals.
 Sintesis
Paksa: Implikasyon at epekto ng social media sa mga tao ngayong kasalukuyang panahon
Anyo: Explanatory
Uri: Thesis-Driven Synthesis
Pahayag na Tesis: Mga dapat malaman tungkol sa social media at epekto nito sa mga tao
ngayong kasalukuyang panahon.

Pagbubuod:
Ayon sa artikulo ng SanaysayPh (2023) Ang social media ay isang digital na plataporma
na nagbibigay-daan sa mga tao na magbahagi ng mga impormasyon, ideya, at damdamin ng
isang tao sa pamamagitan ng internet. Nagbukas ito ng malalaking oportunidad para sa
konektado at interaktibong komunikasyon sa buong mundo. Sa panahon ngayon, halos hindi na
mawari ng mga tao ang kanilang araw nang wala sa ilalim ng impluwensya ng social media. Ang
social media ay maaaring magkaroon ng positibo o negatibong epekto. Depende ito sa kung
paano mo ito ginagamit. Kaya mahalagang panatilihing bukas ang mga linya ng komunikasyon
sa iyong mga kabataan at hikayatin ang balanse sa pagitan ng naaangkop na paggamit ng social
media at tunay na pagkakaibigan.

Paghahalimbawa:
Ayon kay Jolina A. (2020), nagiging mas madali at mas mabilis ang paghahanap ng
impormasyon na makapagpapalawak ng ating kaalaman. Nakakatulong din ito na mapadali ang
komunikasyon sa mga kaibigan at pamilya, lalo na kung magkalayo sa isa't isa. May
pagkakataon rin tayong makilala ang mga taong may iba't ibang kultura at paniniwala, na
tumutulong sa atin na palawakin ang ating mga pananaw at pang-unawa sa iba't ibang aspeto ng
buhay. Ang masama sa social media ay ginagamit ito para sa pananakot na pag-uugali na
tinatawag na “cyberbullying” at panonood ng mga malalaswang video sa Internet. Ang mga
platform ng social media ay nagdudulot ng banta sa privacy at seguridad ng mga tao. Hindi rin
mapipigilan ang pagkalat ng pekeng balita o “ fake news” sa mga social network, maaari itong
magdulot ng pagkaadik at nakakasama sariling kalusugan.

Pagdadahilan:
Ayon kay Kian Fernandez (March 18, 2022) Ang social media ay naging isang
mahalagang bahagi ng ating buhay. Nakatulong ito sa mga estudyanteng kagaya natin sapaggawa
ng mga gawain natin sa paaralan o pananaliksik. Nakapagpalawak ng bokabularyo sa mga
estudyanteng nagmit ng internet. Masasabing isa itong distraksyon sa kanilang social life
gayundin sa kanilang pag-aaral kaso hindi nila pinagtutuonan ng pansin ang mga magagandang
dulot nito sa mga mag-aaral. Malaki ang maitutulong nito ngunit na sa ating mga kamay parin
ang kung gagamitin natin ito g maayos ngunit nangangailangan ito ng responsable at maingat na
paggamit upang hindi mabiktima ng masasamang epekto nito.

 Sintesis
Pamagat: Social Media
Anyo: Argumentative Sintesis
Uri: Thesis-driven Sintesis
Layunin: Ang layunin ng sintesis na ito ay ang mapatunayan na mayroong iba' t ibang epekto
ang social media sa kasalukuyang panahon.
Thesis Statement: Sa panahon ngayon, halos hindi na natatanto ng mga tao na hindi sila
naiimpluwensyahan ng social media, na lubhang nakakaapekto sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na
buhay.

Paghahalimbawa:

Ayon kay Lyra Pascual (2013) pinaliit ng social media ang mundo, inuulan tayo ng
maraming impormasyon, mas malawak na kaalaman at mas mabuting oportunidad upang
magamit ang mga ito. Nabibigyan din ng magandang pagkakataon ang mga mag-aaral upang lalo
pang malinang ang kanilang pagkamalikhain o pagkamakasining at patuloy na pagkakaroon ng
mga makabagong ideya. Ang social media ay hindi lamang ginagamit para sa personal na
layunin, ngunit ito rin ay nagbibigay ng mga oportunidad para sa edukasyon at negosyo. Sa
negosyo, ang social media ay isang malaking tulong para sa pag-market at pag-promote ng
produkto at serbisyo. Higit sa lahat ay nagiging sanhi ang social media ng paggamit ng
mahabang oras maaring sa laro at pakikipag-usap ng isang mag-aaral na magsisilbing dahilan
upang maapektuhan at mapabayaan ang pag-aaral. Habang dumarami ang gumagamit ng social
media ay mapapansin na may mabuti at masamang idinudulot ang paggamit nito. Ayon sa
obserbasyon at pananaliksik, karamihan sa mga gumagamit ng social media ay nasa gulang na
14-29. Ilan sa mga mabubuting epekto ay ang madaling pagkalat ng mga kaalaman o mga
impormasyon, mabilis na pakikipag ugnayan sa mga taong kasama sa trabaho o hindi man.

Paghahambing:
Inulat sa GMA News (2023) lumalabas na sa tagal ng paggamit ng social media,
nagbibigay epekto ito sa pakiramdam at tingin sa sarili; mas mainam na mabawasan ang
exposure rito, ayon sa isang pag-aaral. Naka-aapekto raw sa mental health ang pagbababad sa
social media, batay sa isang pag-aaral. Pero sabi ng mga eksperto, kahit ang maikling break o
detox, malaki ang maitutulong para maayos ang emosyon at pagtingin sa sarili. Ayon kay Shake
Hocson (2019) Dahil sa social media nagkakaroon aniya ng tila "pagmamanhid" ng emosyon ang
labis na paggamit ng social media. Sa sobrang paggamit nito, napapabayaan na rin ang sarili at
minsan ay nakakalimutan na ang mga gawain. Para sa akin tama ang paguulat ng GMA News
dahil ang labis na paggamit ng social media ay maaaring magdulot ng pagkaadik at pagkasira ng
kalusugan ng isang indibidwal, na maaring magsanhi ng sakit tulad depression o anxiety. Pero
hindi ako sang-ayon na nagkakaroon ng pagkamahid ng damdamin ng dahil sa pagiging
masyadong abala sa social network. May pag-aaral aniya na sumusuporta rito, at kung lumala pa
ang sitwasyon ay maaaring magdulot ito ng pakiramdam na pagiging "out of place" at kaakibat
pa nitong mga mental disorder.

Konsesyon:
Nakasaad sa dyaryong Abante Tonte (2013), ang ay malaking epekto para sa mga
kaisipan ng mga bata. Maaaring positibo at negatiboang pananaw ng mga kabataan dito. Pero
para sa akin, mahalaga ito sa amin araw-araw, lalo na sa mga estudyanteng katulad ko. Ito ay
kapaki-pakinabang hindi lamang sa paaralan kundi pati na rin sa pang personal na antas, upang
mapadali at mapalawak ang ating kaalaman. Marami man itong masamang epekto ngunit dahil
dito naiiwasan natin pahirapan ang ating mga sarili at ito pa rin nakadepende sa kung paano natin
ito ginagamit na may posibilidad na maaari itong makaapekto sa atin.
