...responsibilities and they end up either having low grades or failing tests and their subjects. Most of them goes to internet shops/cafes after school and play games for a minimum amount of money but they often stay there for a long period of time, most of them plays for an hour or two but some can play longer than the latter. We as students, also play and enjoy online games because playing online games is part of our leisure time as a teenager or student. We may spend a lot of time and money on it, but some students like us maintain our grades but mostly fail our grades due to ‘gaming overdose’ and that can’t be avoided due to adrenaline rushes that the games’ thrill gives us, but it can be stopped. We can stop it by limiting our gaming habits so that we can still study past and/or advance lessons so that we can still cope-up with our classmates. Statement of the Problem: This study aims to get the answers for these questions from the Grade 10 students of Pasig Catholic College School Year 2015-2016. The questions are as follows: 1. Profile of the Grade 10 Business High School Students of Pasig...

...Something About Introductions, Thesis Statements, Titles and Conclusions.... Why have them? Well, they are needed in order to give your reader an idea of what they will be reading, to get their interest, to tell them your specific point about the subject, and to give them a "map," a blueprint of how you will approach the explanation of your thoughts, and to make sure that your point is clear.. How do you do all that? -- One step at a time. Let's start with giving your reader an idea of what they will be reading: Your Introduction 1. Start with a broad statement about your topic, then continue to narrow it until you get closer to your point.For example: People think that terrorism is someone else's problem, that it happens to others who are far away, and that they are safe from it. Luckily for most of us that is the case; but for some, living with terror is part of their daily lives. For these unlucky folks, life at home, in the neighborhood, and even at school can be a nightmare. This will help you connect with the reader, who needs to find some common ground in order to be interested in what you have to say. Mentioning current topics, popular or unpopular attitudes, or making a general statement about the topic are all good ways to start your essay. 2. Start with a contrasting thought, then lead the reader towards your point. For example: Before kids are born, parents usually think their children will bring only happiness to the household. Little do they know....

...THE OTHER ROAD: THE ROAD NOT TAKEN Barbara Smith ENG 102 Professor Downie February 15, 2012 Edited On: March 7, 2012 The Other Road Not Taken Outline Thesis: In the following paper, Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken”, will be broken up to show the themes, settings, and symbolism. I. Introduction II. Themes A. Choice B. Dreams, Hopes and Plans C. Man and the Natural World D. Exploration III. Settings A. Forest B. On a gravel or dirt road IV. Symbolism A. Roads B. Nature V. Conclusion The Other Road Not Taken Speaking on roads that are not taken can literally be analyzed on a personal stance. Before I get into the poem I would just like to take the time to make this a reality. We all know the singer Whitney Houston passed away a few weeks ago. Her life can be analyzed as being two roads and which one she should have taken. Whitney grew up in a church in New Jersey where she began singing in the church choir. Her career took off in 1987 officially. Fast forward a few years and the good girl we knew seemed to crumble up before our eyes. Whitney married Bobby Brown and had a daughter Bobbi Kristina. Whitney and Bobby’s relationship soon became a downhill ride over powered by drugs and alcohol. We thought by looking at her, that her career was over. She proved us wrong by coming back more faith driven than ever before and with a new attitude. You see in “The Road Not Taken”, you have a decision to make as to which...

...region of the brain, then to the surface of the face where two muscles are roused into action: “The zygomatic major, which resides in the cheek, tugs the lips upward, and the orbicularis oculi, which encircles the eye socket, squeezes the outside corners into the shape of a crow’s foot. The entire event is short, typically lasting from two-thirds of a second to four seconds and those who witness it often respond by mirroring the action, and smiling back.” (Jaffe 2010). What if research were to show that the simple act of smiling at people can effect enormous positive changes in their lives and our lives too, just like Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world,” smiling can positively affect everyone around. In this paper, I would be discussing, first the mimicry and emotional contagion of smiling and will finally talk about the benefits of smiling. I will not be covering situations were smiling isn’t condoned and I also will not be discussing how to force a smile in difficult situations. Mimicry and Emotional Contagion Smiling according to Darwin is a “universal display” (Darwin, 1872) of happiness, pleasure or amusement, and is believed to have deep evolutionary roots (Andrew, 1963; van Hooff,...

...ANXIETY AND SPEAKING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE AMONG MALE AND FEMALE BUSINESS STUDENTS IN UNIVERSITI INDUSTRI SELANGOR Ayu Rita Bt Mohamad and Nadhia Dalila Bt Ab Wahid Industrial University of Selangor Jln Timur Tambahan, 456000 Bestari Jaya E-mail: ayurita@yahoo.com ABSTRACT This study explores the nature and anxiety of speaking English as a second language among male and female Business Degree students in Industrial University of Selangor (Unisel), Berjuntai Bestari, Selangor. This study attempts to identify potential sources of anxiety relevant to the students’ affective needs or concerns in an institution of higher learning through the use of an in-depth qualitative questionnaire. As the pre-administered questionnaire findings indicate, the differences in the level of language anxiety exhibited by the participants seem to vary by gender. Using various studies by previous researchers of language anxiety as a theoretical guideline for data collection and analysis, this study also discusses some of the influences or impact of anxiety-provoking factors on second language learning, along with some implications for further research on language anxiety. 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Anxiety is a negative way to present human feelings. When we are anxious, we feel nervous, worried, and fearful. We struggle, tremble, perspire, and our hearts beat quickly. In general, anxiety can be defined as a complex concept dependent upon not only on one’s feelings of selfefficacy...

...THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT TRAVEL MARKET: TRAVELSTYLE, MOTIVATIONS, AND ACTIVITIES GREG RICHARDS* and JULIE WILSON† *Fundació Interarts (Interarts Foundation) and Rovira i Virgili University, Tarragona, Spain †Department of Geography and History, Rovira i Virgili University, Tarragona, Spain Abstract: One sign of the growing interest in student travel both from the tourism industry and academic researchers is the global independent travel survey conducted by the International Student Travel Confederation (ISTC) and the Association for Tourism and Leisure Education (ATLAS). The survey, conducted in 2002, covers the profile and travel behavior of 1630 students booking travel from student travel organizations in eight countries. This article reports the initial results of this research. The survey showed that students are frequent travel consumers with extensive previous experience of relatively long trips outside of their own world region. Most students see their travelstyle as that of “traveler,” but a significant proportion of the market characterized their travel as “backpacking.” Motivations reflecting a desire for experience are prevalent with student travelers, particularly in terms of exploring other cultures. Motivations tend to be differentiated by destination region and travelstyle and are distinct between students and other young travelers. In spite of these differences in motivation, however, the activities actually engaged in showed little differentiation between...

...homeopathy and the search for meaning[1] By Joseph Zarfaty Introduction We all know that when homeopaths meet to discuss a case, they rarely come out with the same remedy. An article I read in The Homeopath (Boulderstone 1994) suggested an inspiring explanation. Boulderstone said that two or more observers, albeit unprejudiced, cannot be the same. For this reason, different analyses of a case will exist with their different accompanying remedies. What causes the cure, is not the actual remedy given but the whole process of taking the case and understanding the patient. I believe that the act of understanding is closely linked with the notion of meaning. In this paper I will discuss this concept briefly and will then introduce the work of David Bohm, a preeminent 20th Century physicist and philosopher. His theories of Wholeness and the Implicate Order and Unfolding Meaning can provide a platform on which a better understanding of homeopathy's magic action becomes possible. What is meaning? Grasping the term 'meaning', or worse than that, understanding what is the 'meaning of meaning' is no easy task. There are various levels in which meaning can be defined, starting with the simple, day to day use of the word and ending up with deep linguistic and philosophical questions. The word 'meaning' is derived from an old English word denoting to 'recite, tell, intend, wish'. In today's English it implies 'that which is conveyed' but also 'a significant quality'. Without...

...19th century was a period of great achievements in medicine and endocrinology. The thyroid gland evolved from being considered a rudimentary structure to an organ related to specific diseases. The singular importance of iodine became acknowledged. Graves-Basedow’s disease was described. Surgical treatment evolved with extraordinary speed. Theodor Kocher observed that the clinical picture in patients after total thyroidectomy was similar to the one seen in cretinism. In 1850, the first case of hypothyroidism or myxedema was described. Less than 50 years later, effective treatment was introduced. Another 50 years later, autoimmune thyroiditis was ascertained as the most frequent cause of hypothyroidism (in areas with no iodine deficiency). This paper gives a short survey of the history of hypothyroidism and its treatment. 1. Introduction During the 50 years preceding World War I, medicine saw a wealth of new ideas and novel procedures, not in the least within the field of endocrinology. Among major achievements of this period were the recognition of the importance of the pituitary gland, first suggested by Oscar Minkowski (1858–1931) [1] and...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION THE PROBLEM Nursing school is an exciting, challenging adventure that will demand much of nursing students in terms of time and energy. Because nursing is a discipline comprising knowledge from many related fields, student nurse will be asked to learn to think critically, synthesize information, and then apply it to situations involving live people. (Dewit, 2003) A student may face many challenges and stressors. However, nursing students are likely to experience even “more stress” than their friends and colleagues enrolled in other programs. To support this statement, a study comparing the stress levels of various professional students found that nursing students experience higher levels of stress than medical, social work and pharmacy students (Beck, et al.1997). Even more poignant, another study showed that “one third” of nursing students experience stress severe enough to induce mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. (Pryjmachuk, 2004). One source of stress of nursing students is their Learning Experience. The related learning experience is a series of planned activities in the community that would prepare students technically and professionally should they decide to pursue higher education in the health profession. Specifically, in a selected College of nursing, BSN students spend a maximum of 24 hours a week for their duty wherein they engage in activities such as nurse-patient interaction, nursing procedures...
