...The Time to Legalize is now It seems that every new group of youth turning mature fights for some type of right. That being said, I believe this generation’s fight has been for the legalization of Marijuana. Although this has been a controversy for many years now, in the more recent past there have been great strides toward legalization. The first great step was making marijuana legal for medical use, making marijuana legal for the first time since the early 1900’s. In the last year two states, Colorado and Washington, have completely legalized the drug. Marijuana should be legal because it is not harmful but helpful, could help boost the United States economy greatly, and is a very resourceful plant in multiple ways. Among the people in the United States there is a misconception that marijuana kills brain cells. A documentary called “The Union” goes into detail about how there has only been one experiment, done by the Untied State Government, which results made people conclude the drug indeed kills brain cells. They explained that in 1974 before the actual experiment was released to the public, it was said the scientist were giving the monkeys thirty marijuana joints a day, and after ninety days the monkeys died from severe brain damage. The actual experiment was not released to the public until six years later. When the real experiment was finally released it was found that scientists were actually pumping sixty-three extremely potent marijuana joints into the monkeys...

Manila, Abigail M. Pabon, Justin Eric I. Point of view The point of view of Elizabeth Santos is chosen for this case analysis because the problem was encountered under her supervision, some time after implementing the individual incentive scheme. Also, her training and knowledge as a bachelor of Commerce graduate proves her capability to effectively supervise the company. II. Analysis of Present Situation Company Analysis Gintong Hiyas is a company that sells handmade gold and other jewelry. The business, which started in Quezon City in 1986, is owned and operated by the Santos family. With the establishment of new shopping malls, four new outlets were opened in different parts of Metro Manila with each member of the family directly managing and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the store assigned to them. The said expansion, however, created difficulties in managing the five outlets so the Santos family decided to close the original store and to defer the opening of new sale outlets. Elizabeth Santos is one of the managers of Gintong Hiyas. Being a graduate of Commerce in 1992, she was assigned to design store management systems and procedures for all the stores. Among her contributions were a system for stock inventory taking and reconciliation at the end of each working...

...Manila and opened four new outlets located in different parts of the city. It added new lines of jewelry as sales expanded. Among the new lines were gold medallions that could be made in different sizes and shapes with various decorative inscription and/or images using a specialized imported machine. II. Time Context The Santos family opened its first outlet for selling a line of handmade gold and other jewelry in Quezon City in 1968. The family decided in 1989 to close the original store located in Quezon City and defer the opening of new sales outlets. Elizabeth Santos, the youngest among the Santos children, joined her parents and brothers in the management of Gintong Hiyas after completing her bachelor degree in commerce in 1992. In 1995, Elizabeth was gives management responsibility for another store previously run by her father who wished to be relieved of the task of day to day store supervision so that he could concentrate on the production side of the business. In October 1995, shortly after being given her second store to manage, Elizabeth thought of a scheme for motivating her employee in increase sales via bonus incentive system. In early 1996, Elizabeth began to notice a marked change in the relationship among the store staff. III. Viewpoint...

...I. Point of View The case study is viewed from the point of view of Elizabeth Santos who is currently assigned of the task of designing the store management systems and procedures for all the stores of Gintong Hiyas and the management of the company's two branches. The focus of the case are two the stores managed by Elizabeth so taking her point of view is the most appropriate since she has the knowledge and authority to these stores. The staff incentive system was also implemented under her supervision. II. Analysis of the Case Situation The original store opened in Quezon City in 1968 and sold a line of handmade gold and other jewelry. It expanded in the 1980s by opening four new outlets in different parts of Metro Manila. New lines of jewelry were added as sales expanded. Managing five stores became too difficult for the Santos Family; the original store in Quezon City was closed in 1989. Elizabeth Santos joined the management of Gintong Hiyas after completing her Bachelor's Degree in Commerce in 1992. She designed the store management systems and procedures for all stores while managing one of the Gintong Hiyas stores herself. In 1995, she was asked to manage a store previously ran by her father. In October 1995, Elizabeth introduced an incentive system to increase sales. Thirty percent of the daily wage of the salesgirl will be paid as bonus if the daily quota is exceeded. This resulted in increased sales and morale in the first few months. Employees in other...

Ang labis na hiya'y nagsusupling pa rin ng ibang karupukan. Ang labis na mahiyain kapag napagsabihan ay nagtatampo; kapag napagsalitaan ay nagmamaktol; kapag napulaan ay nasisiraan ng loob; kapag sumama ang loob ay di na makikiisa kahit na sa kanyang sariling ikauunlad. Ito'y mga karupukang supling ng labis na hiya. Ako ang huling magpapayong itapon natin sa hangin ang hiya. Ang taong walang hiya ay masahol kaysa taong labis ang hiya. Ang aking iminumungkahi ay ang wastong pagpapahalaga sa hiya. Ikahiya ang dapat ikahiya -- ang paggawa ng masama, ang paglabag sa utos ng Diyos, ang paglapastangan sa kapuwa. Nguni't huwag nating payagang ang ating hiya ay pumigil sa ating pag-unlad sa kasaganaan. Huwag nating payagang magapos tayo ng labis na hiya sa pagsalungat sa kasamaan.

...Synthesis This part of the research provides different facts and studies that will help the research be more informative and truthful. This part was laid by different people who had undergone a related study. Filipinos are very much aware of the negative traits that were passed on by our folks. It is the students who are the affected and influenced on their studies. It is so hard for us to take away the traits we have since birth because it is already running through our blood. Mañana Habit First let us define what Mañana Habit is..Mañana is a Spanish word meaning “Tomorrow” or “At an specified future time”. In short, it is exactly described as “Procrastination”. In Filipino terms, Mañana Habit means “Mamayana” or “Do it Later”. Which results in a very unorganized way of doing things, specifically for office tasks because it affects the overall performance of an employee. Skipping deadlines, stress and anxiety are just some effects of that habit. Why am I sharing this? Simply because I couldn’t get rid of that problem. I’ve realized that this malpractice is hard to remove. Based from my experience, this really affects my overall performance in work. Many of my colleagues says “magalingkakwing, tamadkalang”, meaning I’ve got a talent but it’s just I’m too lazy to do things. Why? Simply because I am easily distracted by my surroundings, events, ideas that pops out of my mind. Leaving the work pending and my mind is wandering all over. The sad part is, you can prolong...

...English: “… but if you go to an interview and you can't shake hands, look someone in the eye and speak in the appropriate register, you are not going to get the job or place at university”. Sheffield Spring academy advises its pupils to avoid the use of informal words such as “hiya” and “ta” when they’re in school. The teachers will try to learn the pupils when to use Standard English and when to use colloquial language. Kathy August from The United Learning Trust (ULT) says that by doing this they will enhance their prospects of getting a job or a place at the university; so basically the reason is that you won’t be declined because of your accent. The thing about slang is that it is very appealing to children and adolescents. Slang is part of Black English. Maria Manning researched how it was used in a school and saw to her big surprise that many children of different ethnic backgrounds used slang. The main reason was that they wanted to rebel against a culture that had nothing to offer them. Both white and black pupils, who are from the most deprived parts of England as Sheffield Spring, feel excluded from the “British culture” which represents Standard English. This could be a reason why the “slang prohibition” won’t work. Maybe it will just make them more belligerent against the culture. According to the text “Standard English and Received Pronunciation” some people think that the link between accent and social status is weakening. On the other hand we have some...

...Current Management Situation (A Profile of Philippine Management) Management activities as planning, organizing and decision-making are cocoons until the leadership triggers the power of motivation in people and guides them towards goals. The primary public service that any business can render is its own economic success, its ability to harness science and technology to the production of better goods and services that increase employment and raise our standard of living. The job of professional management is to conduct the affairs of the enterprise in such a way as to maintain an equitable and workable balance among the claims of the various directly interested groups-stockholders, employees, customers, and the public at large. The origins of Filipino managers Filipino managers are predominantly of indigenous Philippine racial stock although a significant number are of foreign origin, primarily Chinese, Spanish, and American. Filipino managers have come mostly from the higher socio-economic strata of Philippine society. They are composed largely of individuals from outside the metropolitan area, belonging to families with above-average landholdings. Invariably, their career paths were paved by family ties or consanguinity. Thus, Filipino managers are strongly oriented to their families of origin. The breadwinner in their family (usually the father) has an occupation that is either of the independent, upper white-collar or professional categories and whose position...

...Filipino Management Styles Management style tends towards the paternalistic as is often found in strongly hierarchical cultures. However, managers need to be aware of certain strong Filipino characteristics, which underpin personal relationships within the country. Firstly, people are extremely careful to ensure that others do not suffer embarrassment or any sense of shame (hiya) as a result of their own actions or their inability to meet the expectations of others. It is considered to be very bad behavior to criticize another in public, as this is the greatest insult that can be given. To be openly criticized in public results in a loss of self-esteem and personal dignity. Any attack on an individual's self-esteem may have to be revenged. Therefore, managers are keen to treat subordinates with respect whilst, at the same time, maintaining the dignity of the position of boss. Instructions will be given clearly and precisely and subordinates will be expected to follow those instructions with little or no discussion. Secondly, relationship bonds run deep in Filipino culture and the manager expects loyalty. In return for this loyalty the boss will look after the interests of those subordinates. It is very much a reciprocal arrangement. ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLE, THERE ARE DIFERENT APPROACHES AS TO HOW THE MANAGEMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES IS BEING DONE. Weaknesses of Pinoy Workers: 1. Walang bilib sa sarili (No confidence in oneself) 2. Dikdik sa Colonial Mentality...

...king Mikke T. Reyes July 5, 2012 BSE 2 1 King’s Speech Ang palabas na King’s Speech ay umiikot sa kwento ng isang hari na may problema sa pagsasalita sa harap ng maraming tao dahil sa siya ay utal sa pagsasalita, nakakabawas ito sa kanyang confidence. Noong humarap ang bidang si Berty sa publiko nakita ko sa kanya yung pagpapanic, takot, at hiya. Naipakita sa palabas ang pakiramdam ng isang tao na utal sa pagsasalita. Hindi man ako ganoon ka-utal pag nagsasalita sa harap ng maraming tao, nakita ko ang sarili ko sa kanya, dahil ako rin ay kinakabahan at ninenerbyos kapag ako ay nagsasalita sa harap ng publiko. Iniisip ko lagi kung ano ang sasabihin at iniisip sa akin ng aking mga tagapakinig. Iniisip ko kung sila ba ay natutuwa o naiinip na. Sa palabas din na ito, may therapist na nagtuturo kay Berty ng mga dapat niyang gawin upang maiwasan ang pagkautal at pagkatakot niya sa pagsasalita sa publiko. Ngunit sa huli nalaman na ang therapist niya ay hindi totoong therapist. Para sa akin, ipinakita doon na kahit sino man, therapist man o hindi ay maaring makatulong sa atin. Para sa akin, ang nagsisilbing therapist ko ay ang aking mga inspirasyon gaya ng aking mga magulang at mga kaibigan. Dahil pag ako ay nagsasalita sa publiko, kahit alam ko na ako ay kinakabahan iisipin ko lang sila upang mabawasan ang kaba ko, ang iniisip ko na lang sila ang nakikinig sa akin. Pero sa kabilang banda, naisip ko na pwede rin na gawing inspirasyon ang mga tagapakinig, iisipin ko na...
