...glory. Today, sometime after, we realize that most of our problems as a nation still remain. We may have ousted a dictator, but that was the easy part. The task of building a nation is so much more difficult. Now, with EDSA only an inspiring memory, we are faced with our weaknesses. Self-interest and disregard for the common good rears its ugly head. We are confronted with our lack of discipline and rigor, our colonial mentality, and our emphasis on porma (form). Despite our great display of people's power, now we are passive once more, expecting our leaders to take all responsibility for solving our many problems. The task of building our nation is an awesome one. There is need for economic recovery. There is need to re-establish democratic institutions and to achieve the goals of peace and genuine social justice. Along with these goals, there is a need as well to build ourselves as a people. There is need to change structures and to change people. Building a people means eliminating our weaknesses and developing our strengths; this starts with the analysis, understanding, and appreciation of these strengths and weaknesses. We must take a good look at ourselves--objectively with scientific detachment, but also emotionally (i.e., lovingly) and, when appropriate, with disgust. We must view ourselves as might a lover viewing a loved one but also as...

...PREFACE "Damaged culture" and "the sick man of Asia" are just two of the many phrases used to describe the Philippine situation today. Questions such as "what's wrong, what's right with the Filipino?" have set many Filipino minds upon some deep and not-so-deep soul-searching and brainstorming. Is American democracy fit for the Philippines? Is Catholicism brought by Spain partly responsible for the failure of the country to become another economic "tiger" of Asia? The questions have not been answered with finality, although short-term and medium-term responses have been proposed and realized. Many seem to agree, however, that the root of the crisis facing the Filipinos in the past two or three decades is moral in nature. This calls for a long process of social transformation, of value recovery, formation, or transformation as the case may be. Education plays a crucial part in this process, and indeed teachers in both the private and public sectors , since the People Power Revolution of 1986, have responded to this call by introducing reforms in curriculum, content, style, and even mission statements. Such groups and institutions as The Association of Philippine Colleges of Arts and Sciences (APCAS), The Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP), not to mention The Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS), have produced various programs for value education. The Senate passed a resolution, calling for a task force that would inquire into the "strengths...

...Joseph Alois Schumpeter (Triesch, Moravia, February 8, 1883 - Salisbury, Connecticut, January 8, 1950 (age 66)) is an Austrian economist mid twentieth century, known for his theories of economic fluctuations, creative destruction and innovation . He is the author of a History of Economic Analysis, published in 1954 and still refers. Neither Keynesian nor neoclassical, is often close to the Austrian School of Economics. It is considered economist excitement and it is called heterodox economist for his theories on the evolution of capitalism in democracy, he believes doomed to disappear for social and political reasons. Schumpeter leaves hardly classify an economic school. Whether it was Austrian , he has never been part of the Austrian School with which he was familiar with the teachings of Eugen von Böhm- Bawerk at the University of Vienna. The economist he admired most was undoubtedly Leon Walras , but his analysis goes beyond the neoclassical framework . He was also heavily influenced by the writings of the German sociologist Max Weber. And if he shared some conclusions with Karl Marx, his analysis was very far from Marxist economic designs. Is actually the founder of general economic evolutionism . It is therefore listed in the circle called "heterodox" economists. He believes that the foundation and spring dynamics of the economy are innovation and technical progress. The history of capitalism is a permanent moult.

...Are African American Males Victims of the Criminal Justice System? Institution Tutor Name Date Table of Contents Chapter One 3 Chapter One Introduction The United States of America is credited to have the largest criminal justice framework globally, as at 2011, seven million people were under various programs within correctional facilities and programs. Among these people, 2.2 million were incarcerated in federal, state as well as local correctional facilities. Such incarceration rates dwarf the rates of all other countries globally. However, its magnitude is not void of challenges. The criminal Justice System is ailing form a vast array of challenges. Of importance to us with regard to this context is racial disproportionality within the criminal Justice system. By definition, racism is the perception that inherent differences between various racial groups consequently lead to the superiority of certain races and discrimination of other groups. This is the perception that great men such as Booker. T. Washington, as well as Martin Luther King, fought against during the 1960’s in a bid to end racism. For years these men under the African- American Civil Rights movement advocated for equality for all leading to the ‘end’ of racist perceptions. Today, the belief that their efforts halted racism stands to be questioned, on further examination of this subject it is eminent that racism is still existent in the twenty- first century. Racism has simply found ways...

...Jail and Prison Within today’s corrections system, there are prisons of three security levels; minimum-, medium- and maximum-custody. Inmates may move between these custodies depending on their progress in self-control and responsibility, and movement is possibly in both direction, toward leniency and restrictiveness (Schmalleger, 2011, p. 471). The two facilities I chose are the Van Nuys Jail, the largest local jail in my neighborhood and San Quentin State Prison. Van Nuys is a pretty standard jail; it’s not used for any specific types of inmates, but mostly houses inmates that are awaiting their court date or transport to a county jail. San Quentin State Prison has multiple custodial levels within its wall comprised of a maximum security cell block, a medium security dorm setting and a minimum security firehouse. San Quentin State Prison is also the only facility in California to house a gas chamber and death row (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations, n.d.). The most notable difference between the jail and prison I have chosen lie in size, mission and scope. The Van Nuys Jail is the equivalent in security to a minimum-custody facility. Inmates are only held here until they are released on their own recognizance, post bail or are taken to court for their arraignment (Shouse California Law Group, n.d.). San Quentin, on the other hand, is a much larger facility that houses over 135,000 inmates for all lengths of sentences. The facility provides vocational and...

...and abilities. Several experts believe that the specific nurturing tactics parents perform in a child’s early years are responsible for the other half. However, grandmother, Judith Rich Harris, and cognitive psychologist, Steven Pinker along with many others, are convinced that peers have the largest amount of influence. Several believe that attending a private school is more potent at generating a beneficial personality than a public school is. This phenomenon is proved faulty by the Chicago school system and its lottery game in attempt to tackle the income gap between blacks and whites. Schools that have a majority of black students are typically in a poor neighborhood and do not provide the best learning environment due to loitering, gang violence, and the fear of “acting white” (Hamilton, 2004, 161). The low test scores and eventually low income rates are not because black people are black, but because the environment is not fit for learning. Data shows that white students perform just as poor if they are in these districts. With the use of regression analysis, economists figured out that a different school system is not the answer, but a different environment is (Hamilton, 2004, 167). In short, Levitt and Dubner concluded that parents who try all these strategies are wasting their time. It is not what the parents do, but who they are. Thousands of people gather in the month of October every year to run or walk in their pink shirts. Does this really cure breast cancer...

...understand the unknown of human behavior, and their potential patterns that observe the actions of self expression on how people feel and store memory. The study of the mind is an observation of a person’s mental awareness of both the conscious and unconscious mentality. Structuralism was the dominant school of psychology in Germany and the U. S. between1890-1920, and was the school of thought based on the notion that the object of psychology is to analyze consciousness into its basic elements and investigate how these elements are related. Structuralism explores areas of the mind, focus mainly with sensation and perception in vision, hearing and, touch through introspection, or the systematic observation of one’s own conscious experiences, although Functionalism was the protest against structuralism and had the assumption that functionalism was more practical and concerned with commonsense issues, structuralism believed that mental functions were not subject to introspective analysis which it was the shaping of the mind that could be analyzed. Another school of thought is behaviorism, in which focus mainly on how and why behaviors happen, and the prediction and the control of behavior in experiments of natural science. The school of psychoanalysis is the basis of psychology, and supports structuralism, functionalism, and behaviorism by these assumptions, so the unconscious mental process exist, all human behavior is motivated and purposeful, and experiences influence current changes...

Investigate and corroborate that the majority of psychological procedures transpire outside the consciousness and that numerous of the connections concerning emotion, behaviors, and circumstances that direct behavior are communicated unconditionally or instinctively. The document will in addition distinguish the fundamental biological elements of psychology interconnected to behavior. Major schools of theories during the preceding centuries have spearheaded the expansion of psychology recognized currently and research the theories in psychology, investigating the general fundamentals and isolating the central biological elements of psychology as its pertain to behavior (Robin Kowalski, 2011). . Psychology was original recognized as a function of discipline, independent from philosophy and biology with arguments in excess of what method to define and rationalize an individual cognizance and behavior originates. The fundamentals of psychology symbolize the key theories within the consciousness with the philosophy stage of structuralism, encouraged by the originator Wilhelm Wundt psychology laboratory and proximately additional hypotheses commenced for supremacy in psychology.

...MMAPROJ2 De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde Panitik Trading Card Game EXECUTIVE BRIEF Carlos P. Depante AB-MMA 10452451 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is a Trading Game (TCG) based on Philippine Literature particularly during the Hispanic period which includes classics like Ibong Adarna, Florante at Laura, Noli Me Tangere, and El Filibusterismo. This project seeks to encourage the youth’s appreciation of both the literature and the language through the use of a medium that is appealing to them. It can serve as an aid in understanding these classics and renewing the interest of the Filipino youth in their own literature. RATIONALE The proponent observed that most of his classmates love to read English pocket books and novels. The proponent also read this kind of literature, in a way they are magnificent and interesting, but nothing can replace literature written in one’s native tongue and representing one’s native values. When he entered college he was little bit disappointed because only a few of his classmates appreciated Philippine literature. Most of them are into graphic novels, poetry, stories and novels in English. They view Philippine literature as old, boring, and uninteresting compared to foreign-made literature. Upon browsing on game titles, most of them were inspired by children’s stories, literature, myth, fiction and history. Most of these games are top hits in the market...

...Organizational Communication Analysis is Kelsey Elementary School. As a mother of a fifth grader, I am always interested in the communication efforts associated with elementary schools. In the past, school administrators and teachers were only able to communicate in person, through written correspondence, or by telephone. The technological advancements of the 21st century provide school faculty with the opportunity to connect with others using a plethora of communication methods, but the first step to conducting an Organizational Communication Analysis is to develop a framework that provides a clear description of the school. Kelsey Elementary School According to the school’s webpage, Kelsey Elementary, in partnership with families and the community, is dedicated to the growth and development of each student in a positive learning environment that will contribute to each student’s lifelong learning in a changing society. Kelsey Elementary is often used as a representation of all other elementary schools in the Kelsey Unified School District. Enrollment for the current school year is 500 students in grades Kindergarten through five. The city of Kelsey has a vested interest in the success of all students attending the city’s educational institutions. Kelsey Elementary is a primary stepping stone for students on their educational journey therefore; a solid educational foundation is vital. The People From students to the community that surrounds the school; many stakeholders make...

...there had been many confusions regarding methodology, objectivity and identity of the nation, by early twentieth century, this problem was more or less tackled by producing a syncretic culture of past. The author also points out that it is Indian Marxist historiography which brought a 'paradigm shift' in the discipline of history. Historians like DD Kosambi, Romila Thapar etc. challenged colonialist historiography and rather than dynasties, they focused on the transitional economy from tribal land to village settlements, which also gave rise to the practice of caste. Moreover, Indian Marxist historiography emphasised on documents and evidence as the source material. The author also focuses on the Cambridge school on Indian history and points out that the emergence of this school is a response to the nationalist and Indian Marxist historiography. In the mid-twentieth century, historians like John Gallagher and Ronald Robinson made pro-imperialist arguments and argued that “there was a basic continuity in the political and economic structures in the colonies,” and the British tried to rule both by formal and informal means, whichever necessary...

...Culture-Specific Forensic Accounting Conceptual Framework: A skills Set Theoretical Analysis Abstract : Forensic accounting, given its peculiar investigative stance, requires a specific skills set on the part of the forensic accountant, that integrates accounting, auditing and investigative skills. The Jordanian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (JACC) struggle to investigate Maward’s, a Jordanian state-own company, suspected corruption has raised serious concerns regarding the weak state of forensic accounting in Jordan, and the need for its adaptation to suit the country’s peculiar context, to successfully institutionalize at the wider societal level and benefit the state in its aim for ensuring efficient utilization of the scarce resources at its disposal. This study is an attempt to deduce a country-specific conceptual framework for forensic accounting, which can be replicated, with suitable adaptations, to other countries with similar cultural backgrounds, and put forth some theory-supported suggestions to help guide future research in the area. Keywords: forensic accounting, conceptual framework, institutional theory, foucault Introduction: The rise in the white collar crimes, where evidences are comparatively moreobscure and difficult to detect (Gottschalk, 2011), has necessitated equipping of auditors with forensic skills, particularly over the recent years (DiGabriele, 2009a; Carnes & Gierlasinski, 2001). In the aftermath of several accounting scandals...

...A New Approach to Juvenile Justice Stephen Stivason Strayer University Juvenile Delinquency and Justice September 7, 2011 Introduction There is little doubt that there is a fundamental problem with the contemporary American approach to juvenile justice. That is because the focus of the U.S. juvenile justice system is heavily based on procedural safeguards that protect juvenile rights whereas there may be more important concerns. Certainly, the rights of juvenile defendants must be protected and sentences should continue to reflect the different needs and capacity for reform of juvenile offenders as compared to their adult counterparts. However, much more emphasis should be devoted to the prevention of juvenile crime by addressing fundamental factors believed to be responsible for it. From a cost-benefit analysis, preventing juvenile criminal involvement is much more important than focusing on reform and on other aspects of criminal justice that are only triggered after criminal activity is perpetrated. In principle, it is much more beneficial to society—as well as to potential juvenile offenders—to provide the necessary assistance and opportunities to prevent criminal inclination rather than devoting the bulk of resources to offenders. Recognizing the Principle Causes of Juvenile Crime Generally, some of the most important causes of juvenile crime are: (1) Social Control Theory issues, (2) lack of supportive family environment and structure, (3) exposure to deviant...
