...“The State recognizes marriage as an inviolable social institution and the foundation of the family which in turn is the foundation of the nation.” The Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 or commonly known as the RH Law guarantees universal access to methods of contraception, the right to education and information, the right to reproductive health care and a solution the country’s mortal enemy: Poverty. But the question is; was it really made solely for the common good and social welfare of the Filipino people? Many Filipinos have commended the senate and congress for finally passing the RH Law, since its true nature is for the good of the majority. However, most of these people don’t see that this might serve as an avenue for corruption instead of a solution that would completely eradicate the issue of poverty in the Philippines. According to the press release given by the Senate of the Philippines, there is a whopping P21-billion in the DOH budget that seeks to address maternal and infant health. To have a culture that is family-oriented, do we really need this amount of budget for a law that declines our traditions? This law could possibly pave a way to any potential dictator by promising the people freebies and public goods. Yet what most people don’t know is that more freebies mean more opportunity for these politicians to gain power and do graft and corruption. We all know that some government officials are making these kinds of constitutions simply...

...Political Issues between Richard Burr and Elaine Marshall With the race for Senator of North Carolina coming to a close and with Richard Burr in the lead over Elaine Marshall, this is a very crucial time for Marshall to use some political issues in her advantage as well as it is for Burr to maintain his lead. There were a lot of differences on topics between both of these candidates. The resource that I used in finding topics that both of these candidates disagreed on was Project Vote Smart. Project Vote Smart is an historic undertaking. It’s where citizens come together, not in a selfish way of interest or to support one candidate over another, but to defend democracy. It gives you access to information on certain topics surrounding our world. Even if one candidate suffers grave attacks from opposing candidates and political parties, many are not willing to manipulate information and deceive voters. Here are the results from both parties using the Project Vote Smart. Keep in mind that while Burr filled one out and Marshall did not. Marshall’s results are based on a infer answer meaning based on public statements, voting record, and evaluations based on special interest groups. On abortion issues of whether you were pro-choice or pro-life, Marshall’s inferred answer was pro-choice while Burr’s answer was pro-life. Burr then states, “I oppose abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is threatened. Taxpayer dollars should not be used...

...John Locke looked at the world to gain knowledge and wrote books to show the empiricism in philosophy. John Locke wrote many books and essays to show his beliefs and views. John Locke’s A letter Concerning Toleration with the concerning the true extant and end of civil government was written in 1689 in Gouda, Holland. His beliefs and views shaped the world as it is today. John Locke start off his essay with writing about political power. He states, “Political power, then, I take to be a right of making laws, with penalties of death, and consequently all less penalties for the regulating and preserving of property,” John Locke defines political power as the right to make certain laws to protect and regulate property. These laws are put...

...I bought a book from crossword; he packed the book and added two bookmarks into my pack. A thought came to my mind. Why do I need a bookmark? I can easily memorize the page number and the next time resume from the same page when I resume reading, or read them all over to reach to the point where I stopped reading. But not all have a blessed memory; moreover, there are better things to remember, my grandpa would rather bookmark and rely on it to help him resume reading. It’s a kind of simple index, isn’t it? This article focuses on how MS SQL Server uses indexes to read and write data. Data is arranged by SQL Server in the form of extents and pages. Each extent is of size 64 KB, having 8 pages of 8KB sizes. An extent may have data from multiple or same table, but each page holds data from a single table only. Logically, data is stored in record sets in the table. We have fields (columns) identifying the type of data contained in each of the record sets. A table is nothing but a collection of record sets; by default, rows are stored in the form of heaps unless a clustered index has been defined on the table, in which case, record sets are sorted and stored on the clustered index. The heaps structure is a simple arrangement where the inserted record is stored in the next available space on the table page. Heaps seem a great option when the motive is simply storing data, but when data retrieval steps in, this option back fires. An index acts as a fire fighter in this scenario. Indexes...

...UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONAL DATABASES Student’s Name Instructor’s Name Course Name 03/05/2016 RELATIONAL DATABASES Being a data administrator is to handle and organize the bulk of data masses for easy and convenient retrieval of the information at any point of time. I generally believe that compiling a bulk of data is very difficult task for anyone who has the responsibility to manage the information. Therefore, here we go through and understand the concept of relational databases and use of tables designed to manage the data for the problem cases in our daily life. A relational database is a defined group of data items systematized and controlled as a set of formally defined tables from which the collected and unmanageable data can be reassembled or accessed in various different techniques deprived of having to restructure the pre-arranged database tables (Rouse, n.d.). According to Codd (1982), “Relational processing entails treating whole relationships as operands. Its primary purpose is loop-avoidance, an absolute requirement for end users to be productive at all, and a clear productivity booster for application programmers” (p.298). It comprises of designed data tables that are connected together in some important way. For instance, consider an organization that offers items to clients. The organization keeps up a database of the items it offers. Every item has a one of a kind code so it can be uniquely recognized. The item database comprises of a table, and each...

...Presidential Speech Hello, My name is Lukas Gorn I am running as Democratic candidate for the position of United States of America's President. As a running candidate, I believe there are five important topics in our society that I would like to focus on. Those topics are: sexual orientation, immigration, abortion, defense, and poverty. Sexual orientation is very discussed topic in our society. People say being gay is immoral and that homosexuals should not get the same rights as heterosexuals would, but I disagree with that statement. Homosexuals are people, and our constitution guarantees civil rights to anybody in our society. Now what those rights may include are up for interpretation; my interpretation is that everybody is a human being and that everybody has the right to do what they please. When it comes to same sex marriage, I am very supportive of this right, but I also believe it is up to the state to decide to practice it. A federal law should be in place where all states must recognize a same sex marriage so couples can get the same rights wherever they may reside. Millions of people venture into our country every year, legally and illegally. We have so many aliens due to our country having so many opportunities for them to succeed and while our country is on top I do not see why should not give a helping hand to those who need it. Our country has a long and rich heritage of immigration and we should not forget this. We need to bring the 11 million undocumented...

...Do you agree with the view that the key role in uncovering political scandals and controversies has been played by journalists? Although journalists have been recognised as playing a key part in uncovering scandals, the majority of them have actually been sexual scandals rather than political scandals. This includes such events like the Profumo affair, Boothby and Squidgygate, which were all sexual scandals. Source 4 shows evidence for agreeing with the question. This is shown when it is written that Tam Dalyell, a labour MP was ‘quick to praise the role of the press’. This shows some evidence that the press were key due to it establishing that they ‘would not be in this position’, with this position being that of uncovering the Belgrano scandal. Source 5 partly coincides with this statement, saying ‘very little was heard’ until ‘ Sunday Times argued that the ship was not a direct threat’. Source 6 also shows evidence that ‘it is clear that journalists have played a key role in drawing attention to corrupt politicians’. Source 6 mentions that the ‘Guardian have been assertive’ towards the uncovering of political scandals. This is evident in the Cash For Questions affair. The story originates from the Guardian quoting Al-Fayed, saying that he had approached the paper and accused Ian Greer of paying Neil Hamilton and Tim Smith to ask the parliament questions on his behalf for £2000 per question. Both Hamilton and Smith denied the charges, but between 1996 and 2000, court cases...

...the perceptions of those behaviors. Think of the study of conflict as a view through a lens, like the lens of a camera, or through prescription glasses. The lens model of conflict specifies that each person has a view of (1) oneself, (2) the other person, and (3) the relationship. These perceptual pieces form the fundamental views of all conflicts, and combined together they form the mosaic of a particular conflict (Wilmot & Hocker 2010). There are also minimal features of all conflicts. They are: (1)the communicative acts or behaviors of each person, (2)the meanings or attributions attached to those acts by each person, which are each person’s view of self and each person’s views of the other, and (3)the meanings or attributions the two people ascribe to their relationship, which include past events, current events, and future projections. Each person also has a lens that gives that person a particular perspective, just as people use different types of glasses to see. There are multiple views of conflict, yet each looks real to the one seeing it (Wilmot & Hocker 2010). In a conflict, each person will have their own view of the situation at hand and react differently. As the old saying says, there are two sides to every story. For example, let’s say you have a couple that gets into an argument or should I say, a conflict, about their child spilling juice on the living room carpet. The mother may view it as being a simple mistake and can easily be cleaned, whereas the father...

...Being greedy is the having or showing an intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth or power. That is all anyone wants now. Nobody cares about anybody anymore. They just want all the power in the world and all the money in the world. They can never be happy with what they have. This is also what political parties want also. All the power to themselves and not sharing any. People start to go crazy for power. That was what was happening with Macbeth. He was told his “future” and he was so greedy that he could not wait for and he wanted it now. In, “George Washington’s views on political parties in America,” the political parties hated still each other, and still hate each other, with such bitterness it turned in to public...

Modern worldviews have their roots in the kingdoms of the darkness. These views have a high potential of totally destroying us.

I have developed my own view of what this life means, why we are here. Also who put us here, and what happens when we pass from this world. Does an omniscient being takes us to heaven or not. I do think that we all do have a purpose in life, but I don’t think it is necessarily something that we are aware of. We may not even know when we fulfill our life purpose, and it is also possible that we may have more than one purpose, and that the creator somehow gets us to the right place at the right time if we are living our lives in the right way. I think we get one chance at this life, and when we die, we leave this world. Eventually we go to heaven, but we first...

...When you give thought to your perspective and what you believe, what you hold dear, and what you consider truth- you are crediting your worldview. When I think of the term worlview, I think of our individual identities, as well as our perception of what goes on around us. It’s the framework to our thought process and decision-making. Our moral compass, ethics and spiritual affiliation make up our worldview as well. So many things can factor into how we interrupt life events or other people. How we are raised, what’s taught to us in school or at home, or belief systems. All of these impact us on a daily basis. Our decision-making skills often rely heavily on our worldview. When one thinks about theology and faith, in regard to Christianity especially--we understand that our worldview can sometimes be shared with others who believe in the same thing. There are 2.2 billion registered Christians worldwide, nearly a third of the world’s total population (6.9 billion). Lets say that half of the registered Christians are practicing Christians, and for the sake of this point lets assume that half of them try to uphold the teachings and practices of the religion. That would leave 1.1 billion people who in one-way or another share a worldview that is consistent with our own. Christians share several worldviews that are specific to our faith such as Heaven and Hell, God/Jesus/Holy Spirit, for some people knowing that others believe what they do or would approach a situation using a...
