Stop, Look and Reflect!

Being a student entails so much more. It gives an apprehension about who you are and what you are in the society. Education is the key for achieving a better future worthcoming. Insisting the No Homework Policy to be in the drive would mean less. For it not only weakens the capability of the student to become efficient and proficient it also weakens its academic standing.

Students would then be more technologically inclined rather than academically inclined. It only insinuates that students would become more privileged to the "techy world" but not to the world of knowledge. A student without experiencing stress would not mean being a student at all because a true student is a student experiencing stress and managing his/her time well. Furthermore, strating at an early age without common background and exercising the practice of homeworks would mean that it would surely be a hard time for the students to exert this kind of practice.

Piled up of activities then would result to this kind of drive if pushed forward for the President's signage. If not meant to be done at home then series of activities would be handed over to the shoulders of the student striving for success. And as a consequence, students would surely learn less.

Us, humans, tend to destroy the environment we live in, every single day. We are ruining it with every cigarette butt we throw out the window, with every plastic straws we leave at milktea stations, with every table napkins we drop as we’re stuffing our face with food. We are ruining it with every plastic bag we receive and let blow away with the wind, we are ruining it every time we throw a single-use-plastic into the garbage can. We tend to pollute indispensable resources that takes millions of years to replenish. We are constantly and consistently ruining it to the point where we are close to killing the whole planet.

We just take and take. We never thought of the impact it’s going to leave behind. Yet, we don’t care either because we’re going to be “long gone” by that point. At some point the Earth is going to surrender and give up because it has nothing left to give. Hopefully at that point everyone is going to realize that they should’ve put more money into the environment and less money into their own pockets. Humans are driven by profits and money.

We are a selfish race that tends to destroy the planet we live on. Soon enough the Earth is going to give up because we did nothing else but to destroy it. And only then we will wish we did more. We could save it, unless you believe in Elon Musk’s idea in making Mars as an another habitable planet.

Bullying

Humans are complex and complicated beings. They either tend to establish relationships with other people or make others feel inferior for they are the superior. In this case, the main point is the latter. The act of belittling some individuals just to flaunt that one is powerful is what we call bullying. It is perceived by many as a matter that can be solved easily but is actually one of the leading causes why one gets depressed.

Bullying can happen anywhere. May it be at home, school, work, or any place you can think of. It can also happen to anyone may they be young, old, rich, poor, and etc. A lot of people are suffering from this problem and it causes a major downfall not only to the person experiencing such, but also to the society. It is creating a world filled with only two roles. To be a prey or a predator. It doesn't generate equality instead it results to none other than chaos. It can destroy one's personality and can even change them in becoming the worst person they can be. It is never good and always seen in a nagetive sense.

No one can easily cope up with this problem without help from others. If you are a being bullied, open up to people who are capable of helping and understanding you. This shouldn't be tolerated and should be stopped in no time. To continue living in this world, everyone must know that they needs others at some point in their lives. If by any chance, you are the bully, think about what you did. It may seem a joke to you but it isn't a laughing matter to your victims. Reflect the situation you made and put yourself on the shoes of others. Everyone is struggling with their own ups and downs so that don't add up the their pain. Instead, improve your life and grow up as a mature and wise homo sapien. We are all born equal in the eyes of the Almighty and that's what really matters.

S L E E P. How important is it?

          The loss of sleep is a common problem in modern society, affecting many individuals at some point in their lives. Sleep deprivation occurs when an individual gets less sleep than they need to feel awake and alert. The amount of sleep that a person needs varies from one person to another, but on average most adults need about seven to eight hours of sleep each night to feel alert and well rested. Teens need an average of about nine hours of sleep per night, and children need nine hours of nightly sleep or more, depending on their age.

          If you’ve ever spent a night tossing and turning, you already know how you’ll feel the next day — tired, cranky, and out of sorts. But missing out on the recommended 7 to 9 hours of shut-eye nightly does more than make you feel groggy and grumpy. The long-term effects of sleep deprivation are real. It drains your mental abilities and puts your physical health at real risk. Science has linked poor slumber with all kinds of health problems, from weight gain to a weakened immune system.  The primary effect of sleep deprivation is excessive daytime sleepiness. A sleep-deprived person is likely to fall asleep when forced to sit still in a quiet or monotonous situation, such as during a meeting or class. This degree of severe sleepiness can be a safety hazard, causing drowsy driving and workplace injuries.

          The only sure way for an individual to overcome sleep deprivation is to increase nightly sleep time to satisfy his or her biological sleep need; there is no substitute for sufficient sleep. Strategies may provide a short-term benefit to reduce the effects of sleep deprivation. They are not a long-term solution, however, and they may not restore alertness and performance to non-sleep-deprived levels. It is therefore, important for an individual to have the sufficient rest and sleep.

Sleep deprivation

So, it is no lie that sleep deprivation has taken over as one of the most common problems faced within todays youth. The increasing lack of sleep has taken over, especially due to the amount of work and environmental influences that are currently being seen today. The lack of proper time management is one of the main contributers to this issue. The presence of mobile phones, personal problems, and other factors such as school work can can also be seen as the root to this widespread epidemic.

Now, you may be thinking that with all the electronic advancements that we see toady, sleep deprivation shouldn't become an issue since the technology we use is basically designed to get tasks done faster, however, computers can also pose as a major distraction. The roots for this addiction can be directly traced to the growing influence of social media, the ability to communicate with friends and family, the never ending spread of news, ideas and trends, and much more.

Ways to combat this social issue include being able to manage your time wisely, as well as having the ability to set the right priorities. Remember that better sleep leads to a better performance, and with better performance comes a better life.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY as the FIRST STEP in CORRUPTION

Academic dishonesty is more prevalent in education anywhere else in the world. Today than ever before and has negative effects on academic institutions. Access to the Internet and advancements in technology has made academic dishonesty easier for students to commit. Students use these resources to perform plagiarism in academic papers and cheat on exams and online assignments. The number of students who engaged in acts of academic dishonesty has increased exponentially.

As a kid grows up into an adult, he/she goes from learning the alphabet in the elementary schools to figuring out the major he/she may be interested in college. During the period of growth, his/her learning pressure and peer competition are gradually increased. As a student attempting to please parents and teachers, outstand in the competition, or even be admitted to a good college, grades mean everything for him/her. In order to receive a higher grade, some students choose to copy during the exams, use unauthorized materials on homework. As a result, students have become dependent in cheating rather than doing their responsibility as a studeny which is to study.

The act of academic dishonesty can be seen as the first step of corruption. It is, in a sense, promotes manipulating the people involved just like in the school of wherein teachers are easy targets of cheating students. More so, academic dishonesty somewhat upholds the value of reclining to the truth especially that the field of the government needs the honesty of their servant

Water Scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region. According to www.sciencedaily.com, it already affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month out of every year. More than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water. 

Philippines is one of the contenent affected with this water scarcity. According to research, out of 101 million Filipinos, nine million rely on unimproved, unsafe and unsustainable water sources and 19 million lack access to improved sanitation. Families without a safe water source in or near their home often spend significant time and energy collecting water.

Causes of water scarcity are related to human interference with the water.  Climate change, such as altered weather-patterns (including droughts or floods), deforestation, increased pollution, green house gases, and wasteful use of water can cause insufficient supply. 

Improving water infrastructure must be a priority, as water conservation and efficiency are key components of sustainable water management. Solar desalination and smart irrigation systems are great examples of clean technology for water efficiency and control.

One of the major problems the majority are facing today is water scarcity. Perhaps, an imbalance between demand and supply could be a factor of what is going on nowadays. Unfortunately, the lack of water resources to meet water demand is globally felt and makes a lot of people suffer.

Water is life. No man can survive on this planet without water and it is an undeniable fact. Water scarcity may be an outcome of a large and growing population which results in greater demand for water and unequal access to it. Sadly, the availability of freshwater on this planet is only three-percent, which makes it natural for some to be skeptical about being able to cater all the demands.

On the contrary, we may find a better solution to stop the predicament we are facing today. Starting in our respective households. We should be much more aware and conserve water at all times. For we are part of nature, and neglecting our responsibilities will make our lives unconventional.
