Edukasyon ( Talumpati) Edukasyon ay di mananakaw ninuman, kultura ang kinapapalooban ng mga paniniwala’t kaugalian, palakasan ang daan sa pakikipagkaibigan, sandatang kailangang maangkin ng mga kabataan. Mahal kong mga tagapakinig naririto na naman po tayo sa isang pagtitipon kung saan an gating pag- uusapan ang mga aspekto na makapagpapalakas sa mga kabataang tulad ko. Mga kabataang magiging susi upang umunlad ang ating Lupang Sinilangan. Mga kabataang makapagbibigay liwanag sa mga mamamayan mula sa madilim na nakaraan. Na magiging daan sa pagbabagong ating inaasam. Hindi na lingid sa ating kaalaman na laganap na ang pag- unlad ng agham sa ating lipunan. Kaliwa’t kanan na ang mga makabagong bagay. Katulad ng cellphone at computer. Mga makabagong bagay na makagpapadali n gating pamumuhay…lalung lalo na ng mga kabataan. Kahit saang dako ka man ngayon tumingin,marami ng mga internet café ang nagkalat. Iba’t ibang model na rin ng cellphone ang lumalabas. At hindi maikakaila na halos lahat tayong mga nag- aaral sa pribadong paaralan ay umaangkin ng mga bagay na ito. Ngunit, ito ba ay ginagamit natin sa tamang paraan? Mga kaibigan, ang computer ay malaking tulong sa ating mga mag- aaral. Katulad sa mga pananaliksik…hindi mo na kailangang maghalukay pa ng sandamukal na mga aklat para kumuha ng mga kakarampot na datos sa bawat aklat. Punta ka lang ng yahoo..encode mo lang ang topikong hinahanap mo…mag-antay ka lang ng ilang segundo..binggo na .. makikita mo na ang hinahanap mo. Nariyan din ang cellphone na makapagpapadali ng ugnayan natin. Magagamit sa mga panahon ng kagipitan. Hindi mo na kailangan pang mag- antay ng ilang buwan maipadala at tumanggap ng sulat. Sapagkat sa isang text lang, minuto lang aantayin mo..tanggap kaagad. Ngunit sadyang namamali ang ilang mga kabataan sa paggamit ng mga teknolohiyang makabago. Sa halip na sa pagpapaunlad ng karunungan ito gagamitin, ginagamit nila ito sa walang kuwentang bagay. Sa halip na magresearch para sa assignment…DOTA, counterstrike, YM at facebook ang inaatupag. Mayroon din diyan na pakikipagtextmate ang pinagkakaabalahan. Nagpupuyat tuwing gabi. Nanlalalim ang mga mata sa kinaumagahan…ang siste nakikipagtextmate sa kung kanino na lamang. Pagdating sa klase..bagsak si nene, inaantok, walang assignment. Pagkatapos magpapadala sa mga magagandang quotes, mag- a-eyeball, magkakarelasyon, mabubuntis, mawawala sa huwisyo ang kinabukasan, malulugmok sa putikan. Ito ang paraan ng paggamit ng mga kabataan sa mga makabagong teknolohiya.tsk tsk tsk…hindi ba’t edukasyon ang natatanging kayamanan na hindi mananakaw ninuman? Ito ang natatanging sandata na maipagsasanggalang sa lahat ng pagsubok ng buhay. Kapag edukado ang isang tao nagagawa nitong maitama ang mga maling paniniwala na bunga ng kahunghangan. Naisasalba ang isang tao sa lupit ng kahirapan. Bumaling naman tayo sa ating banal na kultura. Ito ay ang kinapapalooban ng mga paniniwala’t kaugalian. Ito ang makinang na kasaysayan ng ating mga ninuno. Alam ba ninyo na sa buong mundo, Pilipino ang tinitingala ng mga dayuhan pagdating sa kulturang kinamulatan? Kung kaya’t maraming mga dayuhang ang piniling mag- asawa ng isnag Pilipino nang dahil sa ating kultura. Sapagkat tayong mga Pilipino ay kilala bilang matulungin, mapagkumbaba, masunurin, at magalang na lipi. At ito dapat ang magiging katangian ng ating mga kabataan. Sa kadahilanang kung taglay ng mga kabataan ang mga ganitong uri ng mga katangian ay mapapadali ang ating pag- unlad. Magkakaroon ng matiwasay na pagsasama. Makakamtan ang paggalang sa bawat kapwa. Ang Kultura natin ay maipapakita rin sa mga palakasan. Dahil ito ang isang makinang na daan sa pakikipagkaibigan. Ditto nalilinang ang mga kakayahan na sangkatauhan. Nahahasa rin ditto ang tiyaga ng mga kabataan s apagkamit ng tagumpay. Kung ang bawat kabataan ay mapapabilang sa isang legal na palakasan, mapapalayo sila sa bisyo. Bagkus, mararagdagan pa ang mga kaalaman at kakayahan nito sa pagsunod sa agos ng buhay. Hindi lamang pisikal na kakayahan ang mahahasa kundi pati na rin ang emosyonal at intelektwal. Sa mga palakasan nagsisimula ang isang magandang pagsasamahan. Kayat mahal kong mga tagapakinig…lalung lalo na sa mga kabataang tulad ko, huwag nating antaying mawala ang lahat ng mga pagkakataon para sa ikauunlad natin. Sama sama nating yakapin at tanggapin ang mga aspektong makapagbibigay sa atin ng lakas na makakatulong sa ating ikauunlad. Nasa ating kamay ang pag-unlad na inaantay ating bayan. Sapagkat tayo ang tinaguriang pag- asa ng bayan.

The Boy in Striped Pajamas

...JHZC The Boy In The Striped Pajamas: Summary The movie started with an eight-year-old boy, named Bruno, running across Berlin with his three friends. Bruno is the son of a government official, a soldier of the Nazi period, named Ralf. When Bruno went home, he saw that their things are being prepared and packed by the house servants. He was confused of what’s happening and so his mother, together with his sister, named Gretel, approached him and said something about having good news. Bruno doesn’t have any idea what the good news was about. Later that day, Bruno learned that the good news was about his father being promoted to become a higher-ranking soldier. Because of the promotion, Bruno and his family need to leave Berlin and move to the countryside where their new house is located. He was very reluctant to leave Berlin because he will miss his friends. Eventually, Bruno and his family left Berlin and finally arrived at the countryside. Bruno was very lonely when he first step foot on the place. He cannot see other children whom he can play with. One day, Bruno peeked through his new bedroom’s window and saw what he think was a farm. He then asked his mother if he could play with the children at the farm. At first, his mother agreed to it but when he mentioned that something was strange about the people in the farm, his mother asked him what was it. Bruno answered that the people in the farm are all wearing pajamas. He also mentioned that their servant, named Pavel...

Diary Of Anne Frank Character Analysis

...Some examples are getting too angry, being very scared, not defending yourself. These can turn the conflict into violence or a conflict that goes on for too long. An example of this is a excerpt named The Boy in Striped Pajamas. In this except a jewish boy, Shmuel, is inside of a concentration camp, sitting next to the fence that holds him back from being free. A free boy, Bruno, lives next to the fence on the other side. Shmuel is washing drinking glasses as he was told and if he did anything else but that he would be in trouble. Bruno decides to give the boy some chicken since he seems quite hungry. At this point in the story Bruno has not figured out that Shmuel is being malnourished and seems to be only focusing on how good his life is, not how bad Shmuel's is. This already gives a hint to how bad Bruno reacts to conflict. He really doesn't focus on how other peoples lives are. After Bruno gives Shmuel some chicken the General of the camp comes by and reacts also badly to conflict. Since the General caught Shmuel doing something he shouldn't the General gets quite angry at mainly Shmuel. Both of the boys are too scared to react, sitting there in silence. This is one of the bad type of things to do, not defending your reasonings/opinion. Even though Shmuel ate the chicken it was only because he wasn't...

Cry More Voluntarily

...Dear Alice, For the last year or so, I haven't been able to cry anymore. And when I do, absolutely no tears come out. My eyes just water up, but there are no tears. Is this normal? Should I be worried? —Confused Dear Confused, Crying as an emotional response (rather than to clear out debris and moisten the eyes) is a uniquely human phenomenon. Some evolutionary biologists think this function developed as a distress call of sorts. Human beings can "fake" all other emotions, but crying is more likely to be reflective of genuine emotion. Tears often stimulate a nurturing response in others, which, for a creature as socially interdependent as people are, can be a key to survival. Tears are also necessary for the lubrication and nourishment of our eyes, and they protect our eyes from infection. So what's going on when someone can't cry? There are a few possible explanations. You mentioned that your eyes water up, but there are no tears. It’s possible that your tears are evaporating too fast. Environmental conditions like smoke, wind, and dry climates can make tears evaporate more quickly than normal. When a person isn’t producing enough tears or has poor quality tears, he or she may be suffering from dry eye syndrome. This condition, known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, can be the result of many factors. Experiencing dry eyes is actually a natural part of the aging process and most people over 65 show signs of dry eye syndrome at some point. Women are more likely to develop dry...

In Cold Blood Pdf

...In Cold Blood Truman Capote I. The Last to See Them Alive The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call "out there." Some seventy miles east of the Colorado border, the countryside, with its hard blue skies and desert-clear air, has an atmosphere that is rather more Far West than Middle West. The local accent is barbed with a prairie twang, a ranch-hand nasalness, and the men, many of them, wear narrow frontier trousers, Stetsons, and high-heeled boots with pointed toes. The land is flat, and the views are awesomely extensive; horses, herds of cattle, a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveler reaches them. Holcomb, too, can be seen from great distances. Not that there's much to see simply an aimless congregation of buildings divided in the center by the main-line tracks of the Santa Fe Rail-road, a haphazard hamlet bounded on the south by a brown stretch of the Arkansas (pronounced "Ar-kan-sas") River, on the north by a highway, Route 50, and on the east and west by prairie lands and wheat fields. After rain, or when snowfalls thaw, the streets, unnamed, unshaded, unpaved, turn from the thickest dust into the direst mud. At one end of the town stands a stark old stucco structure, the roof of which supports an electric sign - dance - but the dancing has ceased and the advertisement has been dark for several years. Nearby is another building...

He was waiting for a call from the President of a far distant country, and between wondering when the wretched man would telephone, and trying to suppress unpleasant memories of what had been a very long, tiring, and difficult week, there was not much space in his head for anything else. The more he attempted to focus on the print on the page before him, the more clearly the Prime Minister could see the gloating face of one of his political opponents. This particular opponent had appeared on the news that very day, not only to enumerate all the terrible things that had happened in the last week (as though anyone needed...

Gabriel's Inferno

...Prologue Florence, 1283 The poet stood next to the bridge and watched as the young woman approached. The world ground to a near standstill as he remarked her wide, dark eyes and elegantly curled brown hair. At first he didn’t recognize her. She was breathtakingly beautiful, her movements sure and graceful. Yet there was something about her face and figure that reminded him of the girl he’d fallen in love with long ago. They’d gone their separate ways, and he had always mourned her, his angel, his muse, his beloved Beatrice. Without her, his life had been lonely and small. Now his blessedness appeared. As she approached him with her companions, he bowed his head and body in a chivalrous salute. He had no expectation that his presence would be acknowledged. She was both perfect and untouchable, a browneyed angel dressed in resplendent white, while he was older, world-weary and wanting. She had almost passed him when his downcast eyes caught sight of one of her slippers — a slipper that hesitated just in front of him. His heart beat a furious tattoo as he waited, breathless. A soft and gentle voice broke into his remembrances as she spoke to him kindly. His startled eyes flew to hers. For years and years he’d longed for this moment, dreamed of it even, but never had he imagined encountering her in such a serendipitous fashion. And never had he dared hope he would be greeted so sweetly. Caught off balance, he mumbled his pleasantries and allowed himself the indulgence of a smile...

To Kill a Mocking Bird

...Lee, Harper—To Kill a Mockingbird 1960 TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee DEDICATION for Mr. Lee and Alice in consideration of Love & Affection Lawyers, I suppose, were children once. Charles Lamb PART ONE 1 When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. When it healed, and Jem’s fears of never being able to play football were assuaged, he was seldom self-conscious about his injury. His left arm was somewhat shorter than his right; when he stood or walked, the back of his hand was at right angles to his body, his thumb parallel to his thigh. He couldn’t have cared less, so long as he could pass and punt. When enough years had gone by to enable us to look back on them, we sometimes discussed the events leading to his accident. I maintain that the Ewells started it all, but Jem, who was four years my senior, said it started long before that. He said it began the summer Dill came to us, when Dill first gave us the idea of making Boo Radley come out. I said if he wanted to take a broad view of the thing, it really began with Andrew Jackson. If General Jackson hadn’t run the Creeks up the creek, Simon Finch would never have paddled up the Alabama, and where would we be if he hadn’t? We were far too old to settle an argument with a fist-fight, so we consulted Atticus. Our father said we were both right. Being Southerners, it was a source of shame to some members of the family that we had no recorded ancestors on either side of the Battle of Hastings...
