DESKRIPTIBO

Ang Aking Paligid

Anim na araw daw ang iginugol ng Diyos sa paglikha ng mundo at sa ikapitong araw ay nagpahinga siya. Ginawa niya ang buong kalupaan at katubigan. Lumikha siya ng puno at halaman, pati mga hayop na titira sa lupa, sa tubig at sa kalangitan. Mula sa alabok ay nilikha niya ang isang espesyal na nilalang; ito ay ang tao. Siya ang inatasang mangalaga sa lahat ng bagay na nilikha ng Diyos. Siya ang tagapangalaga ng mundo. Ngunit ngayon, ang tanong na naghahari ay nasaan na ang dating paraiso?

Maitim na tubig sa ilog, basura sa dagat at kalbong gubat- iyan ang iyong makikita kapag minasdan mo ang kapaligiran. Nasaan ang tagapangalagang nilikha ng Diyos upang magbantay sa lahat ng bagay na kanyang ginawa? Alam mo ba kung nasaan siya? Nasa ilog at nagtatapon ng basura, nandoon din siya sa gubat at namumutol ng puno, nasa loob din siya ng pabrika kung saan nagtatapon siya ng langis sa dagat at nagbubuga ng maitim na usok. Ang mga puno ay importante sa mga tao dahil ito ang naglilinis ng hangin at sumisipsip ng tubig ulan upang hindi bumaha. Dahil sa walang tigil na pagputol ng mga puno ay madalas magkaroon ng mga malalaking pagguho ng lupa at pagbaha, pati ang mga hayop sa kagubatan ay nanganganib din dahil nawawalan na sila ng tirahan. Kaunti na lang ang mga punong lumilinis ng hangin ngayon kaya ang mga tao ay madalas magkasakit. Nagkakaroon din ng mga pagbabago sa klima na dulot ng polusyon. Nagkakaroon ng mga malalakas na bagyo at sobrang init at matagal na tagtuyot. Pati ang mga ilog ay nasira at namatay na dahil sa kagagawan ng mga tao dulot ng walang habas na pagtatapon ng basura. Katulad ng Ilog ng Meycauayan. Ang isa sa pinaka-maruming ilog sa mundo na nandito sa aming lugar. Dati ay malinis pa ang ilog na ito ngunit dahil sa walang tigil na pagtatapon ng basura ay unti-unting nasira at namatay ang ilog.

Tunay na sa kabila ng pag-unlad ng sibilisasyon at teknolohiya ay ang kapaligiran ang higit na naaapektuhan. Kung may disiplina sana tayong mga tao, siguro malinis at maganda parin ang kapaligirang ating ginagalawan ngayon. Tayo ang tinaguriang tagapangalaga ng lahat ng bagay na nilikha ng Diyos. Kailan pa tayo kikilos upang itama ang pagkakamaling ating nagawa? Ngayon ang oras hangga’t hindi pa huli ang lahat. Tayo ang higit na naaapektuhan. Nais kong makita muli ang paraisong nilikha ng Diyos. Hahayaan pa ba nating tuluyang mawasak ang mundo. Papayagan mo ba na kahit ang itsura ng dagat, puno at halaman ay hindi na kailanman masilayan ng susunod na henerasyon. Tayo ang tagapangalaga, hindi tayo nilikha upang maging taga-ubos at taga-sira. Simulan natin sa ating sarili, sa simpleng pagtatapon ng wasto ay masisimulan nating likhain ang paraisong matagal ng hinahanap ng mga tao.

Reyna Marina

Noong unang panahon, may isang maunlad na bayan sa dakong hilaga ng Luzon na pinamumunuan ng isang reyna, siya si reyna Marina. Si reyna Marina ay may isang salita, mahigpit siya sa kaniyang mga batas at ito naman ay sinusunod ng kanyang pinamumunuan. Isang araw, nag pulong ang isang grupo na ayaw sa pamumuno ng kanilang reyna. “Paano natin mapapabagsak and reyna?” tanong ng isang lalaki. “Kailangan nating subukan nag higpit ng reyna!” pasigaw na sagot ni Dante, ang lider ng grupong ayaw kay reyna Marina. “Ngunit paano? Imposible yata ang plano mo kapatid ko.” Sagot ni Tanding, ang nakababatang kapatid ni Dante. “Ako na ang bahala.” Tugon naman nito kay Tanding.

Kinabukasan naghagis ng isang supot ng alahas sa gitna ng kalsada si Dante at sila’y matiyagang naghintay ng kukuha ng mga alahas ngunit walang sinuman ang nag interes kunin ito dahil sa batas ng reyna na wag kunin ang hindi nila pagmamay-ari. Lumipas ang limang taon na wala paring nang-ahas kunin ang mga alahas. Ngunit nang mag-libot ang prinsipe sa buong bayan ay bumaba ito sa sinasakyan niyang kabayo nang makita niya ang supot ng alahas. Agad niya itong hinablot ngunit saktong namataan sya ni Dante. “Mga kawal! Dakpin ninyo ang prinsipe! Lumabag siya sa batas!” sigaw ni Dante. Nagmamadaling dinakip ng mga kawal ang prinsipe at dinala ito sa harap ng kanyang inang reyna upang masimulan ang paglilitis. Nagsalita na ang reyna. “Prinsipe Carlos dahil sa iyong kalapastangan dahil sa pagkuha mo ng gamit na hindi iyo. Gagawaran kita ng parusang pagputol sa iyong mga kamay upang hindi na muling maulit ang iyong gawi!” nabigla ang lahat sa desisyon ng reyna. “Ngunit reyna Marina, si prinsipe Carlos ang iyong pinatawan ng parusa. Kung maaari sana’y babaan ninyo ang parusa niyo inang reyna sa inyong anak.” tugon naman ng kanang kamay ng reyna. “Maaaring tama ka, ngunit hindi dapat itigil ang parusa. Sige kawal! Ang mga daliri na lamang ng prinsipe ang inyong putulin!” ang sabi ng reyna. Agad naman siyang pinakinggan ng mga kawal.

Maipapakitang aral sa kwentong ito ay dapat nating gawin ng tapat at buong diwa ang ating mga desisyon. Mahalaga na mayroon tayong isang salit tulad ni reyna Marina na kahit ang kanyang anak ay dapat bigyan ng parusa dahil dapat tayo maging patas sa ating mga nakakasalamuha.

ARGUMENTATIBO

Pork Barrel, Kailangan nga ba?

Isang malaking kilos protesta ang natakdang mangyari noong mga nakaraang araw sa Quirino Grandstand sa Maynila bilang protesta sa pork barrel. Malaking kontrobersiya na naman kasi ang nabunyag kaugnay sa maanomalyang paggamit ng pork barrel. Milyon ang inaasahang lalahok dito na tinaguriang “million people march”Ito ay sa kabila na pinaboran ni Pangulong Noynoy Aquino ang pagbasura rito. Kahit hindi aminin ng Pangulo na hindi dahil sa nakatakdang protesta kaya bigla ang pagbabago ng kanyang isip na tuluyang pag-abolis sa pork barrel eh malamang ito na nga ang dahilan. Talagang nagalit ang marami nating kababayan sa nabunyag na anomalya sa mga bogus na foundation na pinaglaanan ng malaking halaga ng pork barrel. Bilang isang mag-aaral at isang Pilipino, sumasang ayon ako na dapat tanggalin ang pork barrel dahil sa panahon ngayon, pera na ang malaking dahilan ng pagiging sakim ng mga tao lalo na sa gobyerno. Hindi natin mapipigilan ang iniisip ng isang tao ukol dito. At higit pa, ang Pork Barrel ay para sa mga mamamayan ng Pilipinas at hindi para sa pansariling pangangailangan lamang. Ito ay pondo para sa nakararami, sa ika-uunlad ng ating bansa. Nais kong matanggal na lamang ito upang hindi na pagmulan pa lalo ng gulo. Gayahin na lamang sana ng ibang mambabatas si Vice President Jejomar Binay dahil ikinansela nya ang pork barrel na kanyang inilaan para hindi ito magka problema.

Sana nga ay maisaayos na ito kung hindi talaga tuluyang tatanggalin kaya nga lang baka naman ang inabolis lang eh ang katawagang ‘‘ pork barrel’’ at papalitan lang ng ibang katawagan pero ganun din ang maging sistema. Huwag din sana na maging bias ang mga imbestigasyon sa anomalya para makita ng taumbayan na patungo nga tayo sa tuwid na daan. Maging aral na sana sa atin na maging tapat at mapagkakatiwalaan lalo na kung para sa nakararami ang pag lalaanan ng ating pagiging totoo.

EKSPOSITORI

Mga hakbang sa pag gawa ng proyekto tungkol sa mga isyung nakakaapekto sa ugali ng mga Pilipino

1. Magpulong ang anim na kasapi para pumili ng isang lider, cameraman at apat na mananaliksik.

2. Sa sandaling mai-assigned ang lider, sa pangunguna nito ay magbi-brain storming ang grupo para umiisip at pumili ng isyung tatalakayin (uusisain ang problema at bibigyan ng solusyon) sa pamamagitan ng pag-iinterbyu. 3. Narito ang mungkahi ng ilang isyung napapanahon at pinag-uusapan ng publiko na nakakaapekto sa isip at ugali ng Pinoy:

What Is Discourse

...ENG 101 Bailey Writing Project 4 When Gee mentions the phrase dominant discourse he means a particular way of talking and thinking about a subject, created by those in power. This type of discourse is popular because it is admired and repeated a lot. So the dominant discourse Gee discusses is certainly used by a particular class, the upper class. The people in this upper class are usually white people. With dominant discourse, there are certain ways of talking and thinking that won’t be accepted so there is a need to conform to the same patterns of thinking and talking amongst the people conversing within this type of discourse. In the article, Gee gives an account of a conversation that was taking place in a bar. While the dialogue was taking place, the reader is shown what is and what is not appropriate as far as discourse is concerned. The type of discourse that an individual participates in is a learned behavior. Although it cannot really be taught from the media, the discourse of the individual is learned through their surroundings on a continual basis. Discourse can “rub off” on a person through their parents, the area in which they live, the community and how they act and speak and so on. My discourse was influenced by my parents, the school I went to and my friends and teammates. A big part of it was definitely school and my sports teams. I will be honest and say that my public high school was not the best as far as education goes so the people that attend there...

Discourse Analysis

...Title I. Topic The topic of this paper is regarding discourse analysis II. What is Discourse? There is not a straight-forward definition to describe what exactly "discourse analysis" is. Barbara Johnstone, a Professor of English and Linguistics at Carnegie Mellon University, said the following about what the word "discourse" means, "To discourse analysts, 'discourse' usually means actual instances of communication in the medium of language." (Discourse Analysis, 2002, p 2) So, according to Johnstone (2002), discourse is the occurrences of communication in the form of language. This means there are many ways in which communication can take form in, such as gesture and dance, but discourse focuses in the way language is being used to communicate. I think this definition helps in understanding what discourse analysis is. It is implied, through this definition, that when we are talking about discourse analysis, we are discussing about how language is being used to communicate. This means we don't focus ourselves with language as a system, but rather how language is being applied to express something or to declare a notion. For that reason, when we study about discourse analysis that means we study the process in which language as an instrument of communication is involved. III. Spoken and Written Language Discourse analysis is dealing with analysing the function of language as a tool of communication. When people use language to communicate, they can either use language...

Discourse Community Analysis

...So what is a discourse community? When you google discourse community, you read, “It is a group of people sharing a common goal using communication to reach that common goal.”Getting more into detail what exactly is a discourse community, we have John Swales’ academic essay, ‘The Concept of Discourse Community’, which breaks it down into six characteristics: “1. A discourse community has a broadly agreed set of common public goals. 2. A discourse community has mechanisms of intercommunication among its members. 3. A discourse community uses its participatory mechanisms primarily to provide information and feedback. 4. A discourse community utilizes and hence possesses one or more genres in the communicative furtherance of its aims. 5. In addition...

...Robert Kelly Holly Kopcha ENGL 2089 106 3/6/2016 Marching Band The marching band is a community all their own. They all speak to each other in a language that is all their own. It was always easy to spot someone in school who was a “band kid” because of the way they carried themselves or the way they talked or the people they associated with. Kids in the marching band hang out with each other during and outside of school. They are a community all their own with unique characteristics. The marching band has specific goals that they set for themselves as well as for the group. Individually the members of the marching band have their own goals that they need to accomplish for the ultimate goal of making the group better. Each member will practice their music at home or in the practice rooms during class in order to get better at memorizing and accenting their music. They do this to help the group sound better when they are at competition. Band member also have a goal to memorize their drill sheets.

A Discourse on the Discourse

...Cesar Paulo S. Castor V 9/27/2013 Ph100 A Discourse on the Discourse In A Discourse on the Method, Descartes talk of his desire for certainty and truth and the method he uses to determine truth and falsity. The text shows Descartes method of making certain the knowledge he obtains and he does not limit this to philosophical knowledge he uses his method in seeking all forms of truth be it the sciences, theology or philosophy. Throughout the text Descartes talks of the importance of certainty and truth and begins by stating that the ability to distinguish what is true and false, or “good sense” as Descartes called it, is not a talent inherent to a few chosen intellectuals who received education but as something that everyone possesses and can develop. He backs this up by making an account of his years studying in both the literature of the ancients and the sciences and despite all his studying ended up realizing that he was still had doubts about what he had learned. He realized that knowledge and certainty could not be gained from books alone because some wrote not to find truth but to make ideas plausible and to Descartes anything that was tantamount to plausible was the same as false. (Descartes 2006, 10) What was important to Descartes for discerning true from false was not book smarts but more on life experience and exposure to different opinions. The method he uses to find certainty is something that uses discernment from one’s own reason to make it certain...

Women and Church

...women were not able to achieve ordination within the religious structure, their leadership and ability to persuade spiritual leaders made them an influential voice in the Brazilian church. This research paper will examine the roles of Brazilian women in the Brazilian Church in the progressive era with a particular interest in the early nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. During the progressive era, Brazilian women re-shaped the Brazilian church to a public political forum where Brazilians could engage in discourse and educate others, setting the stage for organized political movement. At the same time that middle-class Brazilian women were encouraging Brazilians to embrace “La Raca Negra” they were also endorsing the “politics of respectability” in their efforts to work for the uplift and reform of their own race. Ultimately, Brazilian women contradict their efforts to uplift the race by utilizing the Brazilian church as an arena of political discourse because they are conforming to the Victorian ideals to earn respect within mainstream society simultaneously. In order to understand the roles of women in the Brazilian church, the roots of the Brazilian church must be understood. Predominately...

Twitter vs Facebook

...‘Discourse’ is a complicated concept that has developed numerous discourse analytical theories. Discourses are abundant throughout society. Society itself is built upon discourses. Two differing discourses social, and cultural discourses are used to discuss the differences between Twitter and Facebook in the use of branding. Depicting the “social discourse” is “Twitter vs Facebook: Which is more valuable for brands?” an article by Megan O’Neill. The opposing discourse of “culture” is portrayed through “Social Networking: Twitter vs Facebook,” a blog post by Jessica Kim. Firstly, it should be notable that there is no utter definition of discourse. The study of discourse is a vast field, and the nature of its complexity stands as enough of an explanation. On that note, this essay will attempt to define discourse in the way it has been understood. Discourse could be defined as any given theme derived from any given body of text. According to Michel Foucault (1997), discourses are “socially constructed knowledge’s of some aspect of reality” (Theo p.94). Discourses provide us with a port of reference and a way to interpret the world, allowing our knowledge to be influenced and created through certain discourses. Specific notions on a chosen topic have been constructed according to our social contexts; our knowledge of a particular object and are influenced and created through discourses. (Theo p.94) In the Foucauldian conception, Discourse is seen as “more than just a way...

Introduction to Media Studies Assessment 3

...Discuss the concepts of 'ideology' and 'discourse' in relation to the ways in which representation functions in media texts. You might like to do this in the context of representations of gender, sexuality, 'race', ethnicity, war, refugees or celebrity, for example. Your essay should include your own analysis of a media text that has not been discussed in detail in the lectures, required or additional readings, or in your other assessments. Representation is both the process and the product of media texts, in terms of sexuality in media these representations are shaped by ideologies; the way people think and interpret the word. In turn, different ideologies promote discourse and the discussion of ideas in relation to sexuality. In relation to specific media texts such as True Blood, there are several ideologies in the program, social, political and cultural which show a non-heteronormative view on sexuality. Ideologies are ways of thinking and how we interpret the world around us. It’s through ideology that representation in media text functions to reinforce the view of that particular school of thought. Representation can be through stereotype, strengthening sometimes negative views or typecasting those who are represented. Looking especially True Blood, vampires are being “re-presented” as the gay community which have to struggle and fight for equal rights(Dhaenens, 2013). The concept of Ideology, a way of thinking which impacts how you view and world and interact with people...
