Christmas Spirit

Christmas is best enjoyed when it isn't centered on decorations, gifts, or festivities, but when love is at its core. Love is the essence of Christmas. Christmas should mean taking quality time with your family and friends. It's about cherishing and celebrating the love you share. Sadly, love can’t lose amidst the Christmas hustle and bustle. Sometimes it's covered up by the decorations and gifts, the endless shopping, and the Christmas dinner and parties.

Christmas is a time of festivities, but there's much more to it than that. This Christmas season, we should take time for love. If you do, you'll be giving Me a wonderful gift, and you'll make it possible for Me to give you special gifts this year as well. Celebrate love as the main feature of your holiday celebrations. The festive decorations, the scrumptious food, the many gifts, most of those will fade into oblivion, lost among the memories of many Christmases; but the love that you'll have shared and nurtured will live on forever. Love means making time for others, even if you end up with fewer gifts and less than perfect Christmas events.

”Love All, Spend Less, Give More.” The true essence of Christmas relies not on the gifts which commands you to spend more but on the love and unity that each one of us should build. Spend less on gifts and more on relationships! 

Equality leads to Progress

    Equality is an ideal situation that, for various reasons, does not exist in any society in the world today.  It is a social state of affairs in which all people within specific group have the same status in certain respect.  Equality includes equal rights and equal opportunities and obligations and it also involves the whole of society.

     Gender discrimination towards women and girls is widespread in all country.  Women are being treated unequal, they are being harassed, and they are being abused and disrespected.  What they don't know is that women can do what men can do, they are strong like a men.  And I can give a proof to my statement, a number of who women have fought alongside their fellow men in the liberation struggles.  They have contributed a lot in our country, in the progress of the economy.  Women are as hardworking as men.  They can also be a good leader.  And they play a major role in our society, in our families.  For me, women must not be treated unequal; they must be treated justly in families, workplaces, public life and the Church.

     Men should be more involved in promoting women’s rights.  Men should not be underestimating the ability of women.  A woman deserves a right treatment.  They deserve to be acknowledged when they’ve done a good deed or a good thing in our country.  Everyone must be treated equally.

Change things for the better

People everywhere go through various experiences in their lives. Every experience affects a person in some way. The resulting effects can be good, bad, or a combination of both. Many aspects of my life have influenced my personality and the way that I live. Breaking my leg influenced my life dramatically. It began simply by playing the game I love most. Resulting in sitting on the sidelines, watching the season drift away. This experience affected my life intensely, yet still managed to make me a better person.

I know you care about something: a person, a place or an idea. I also know that, whatever it is you care about, you want to help that thing. You prefer to be of use and to act in service of that friend or concept, rather than against it. These two points together mean that some actions serve you more than others: the more aligned your cares and actions, the bigger the difference you make. You don’t need to candy-stripe or be nice to your strange uncle (or his weird kids): to make a difference you simply need to question the value of what you’re doing and do something about your answers.

We rarely need big things. As soon as someone starts talking about changing the world or radically reinventing something odds are good he’s talking from his ego, not his heart. The world does not change in a constant rate. We choose how to change it, and it depends on us if it will be changing for the better or for the worse. Since its inception, the Earth has been evolving , and it keeps evolving at the moment ; we all hope it evolves for the better.

Climate Change: Let's be Alert

Over the past century, human agricultural and industrial activities have led to the build up of carbon dioxide and other greenhouses gases. These gases are trapping yet more of the earth's outgoing radiation, leading to an enhanced greenhouse effect and a warmer earth.

Because carbon dioxide and other greenhouses gases are so long-lived in the atmosphere, enhanced greenhouse warming can be expected to persist for centuries. The impacts - many of which are effectively irreversible - will affect everyone on earth. Human health, patterns and intensity of precipitation, water and food supplies, coastal development, energy supplies, the viability of natural systems: all will be affected if Earth's climate continues to change. 

Also due to the unpredictable nature and the limited knowledge we have about atmospheric processes and climate change, scientists are having difficulty coming up with precise predictions about future climate change. 

Technology: A Gateway to New Experiences

     2nd grading had passed, and I’m to say that I learned so many things in our class. Especially about “tags”, it is very amazing that those tags give a really great help in the web.

     Eventhough there are so many disturbances in our class, still our teacher is doing her best so that we can catch up with our lessons. There are times that she is very fast in teaching the lesson but we can still understand it. She also gave us different exercises and activities to test if we really know what we are doing. I haven't finish yet one of my activities that she gave because of some technical problems. But thank doodness she still gave us extension for it. She's really very kind, no doubt with that.

     I hope in the following days in our class, we will learn more and maybe we can also make everyday memorable.

Promoting Digital Literacy through English Proficiency

 

Schools are continually updating their curriculum for digital literacy to keep up with accelerating technological developments. This often includes computers in the classroom, the use of educational software to teach curriculum, and course materials being available to students, online. Some classrooms are designed to use smartbroad, audience response system. These techniques are most effective when the teacher is digitally literate as well. Teachers often teach digital literacy skills to students who use computers for research.

Educators are often required to be certified in digital literacy to teach certain software and, more prevalently, to prevent plagiarism amongst students. Digital literacy is the ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and analyze information using digital technology.It involves a working knowledge of current high-technology and an understanding of how it can be used.

Digitally literate people can communicate and work more efficiently, especially with those who possess the same knowledge and skills. So, by promoting digital literacy through english proficiency we are all be benefitet and this may help us to reach the progress we are aiming for.

Chemergy: Chemistry and Science Clubbing in Synergy

There are so many things that Chemistry should be studied. First, chemistry has an important practical application in society. The development of life-saving drugs is one, and a complete list would touch upon most areas of modern technology. Second, chemistry is an intellectual enterprise, a way of explaining our material world. Finally, chemistry figures prominently in other fields, such as in biology, in the advancement of medicines. Chemistry in every field as a useful intellectual tool for making important decisions. The role of chemistry in the prevailing society is of enormous benefits.

Science clubbing means creation or grouping of students in order to develop their skills and knowledge in order to come up with a nurturing project that will enhance their mental ability to look for a positive attitude on how they will love science as the source of their intelligence. It is therefore up to the students on how they will treat science, or will they accept it as part of their daily activity as they continue breathing here on earth. Because in this manner also each student will learn to interact with their classmates and to larger groups wherein there will be a continuous flow of ideas. This would then be the basis if the students understand what has been thought in the classroom or to involve in teaching this subject was so vague that they themselves do not fully get the meaning of why is there a need to study science?

Furthermore, Science clubbing is very much important for these goals, and every student must join together and make the link as strong as the bond exist between the electrons of noble gases. Synergy, in general, may be defined as two or more things functioning together to produce a result not independently obtainable. Yes, Science clubbing and chemistry must be in synergy. There are things chemistry can do that science clubbing cannot, but there are also things that science clubbing can do that chemistry cannot. Yes, they must unite to conceive a result not independently achievable.
