...order to keep stability in this new country. But there is one thing I know that is certain, with faith in my heart and my country in mind, my culture has impacted me and I will carry the knowledge from experiences throughout the rest of my life. As a child, I had to learn quickly in a new world. I remember feeling scared and confused, being away from my family and taken away from the society I knew so well. My parents and I were lucky enough to have a small apartment given to us by my great uncle, who fortunately gave my father a job who worked all the hours he could in order to keep some food on the table. Seeing my dad come home late every night made me strive for excellence in school so one day I won’t see him struggling again. As an out-of-place child I grew to be very quiet and observant, in order to fit into my new...

...the image of the Blessed Virgin is carried on their shoulders by a congregation of sunburned and barefooted males known as voyadores from the Basilica to the Naga Cathedral. It is being practiced that those who shall carry the Virgin wear a different color than the other devotees joining the procession. It is also a belief that a woman should not go near the pagoda (where the Virgin stays as it is being carried). In other words, women are not allowed to participate in carrying the image. Also, there is such a belief by the Bicolanos that the presence of a woman near the pagoda indicates a disaster or an accident. The color coding process during the procession is but a screaming evidence of social divisions. Those who are carrying the Virgin on their shoulders wear a different color from the others to show that they are the lucky ones entitled to the privilege of holding the sacred image which many other devotees do not have the benefit to even touch. It also exhibits the idea of a patriarchal society where males dominate the crowd. Moreover, zooming in our gaze to the pagoda only, we already see a clear division. Though males were those privileged to touch and carry the Virgin, not every male devotee experience the privilege. Gainza (2012), The Peñafrancia Festival is an evidence of the strong faith and devotion not only of the Bicolanos but of the Filipinos in general. Devotees from all over the country flock to Naga City in order to touch the Blessed Virgin, or even...

...and authoritarian. It is important that administrators provide positive examples for others to follow; but as an administrator it is important to be in control as well. In choosing my topic, I decided to write about the ideology of Blake Mouton. For me to benefit from his leadership; it is important to understand where I stand in his grid test so that I may develop the skills necessary to become a good administrator. Before choosing which management style I believed to fall under; I decided to take the grid test to see what style of leadership I was most associated with. Upon taking the test I scored at 7.8 in people and 6.8 in task. It placed me within the “democratic” zone of the grid. The best in my opinion would be a combination of democratic and authoritarian styles of leadership. It is important that administrators provide positive examples for others to follow but as an administrator it is important to be in control also. I feel good with where I stand at this point in my career. I feel blessed to be apart of an organization where all teachers and administrators are a team that work together to meet our goals and help students to become successful. There is nothing that one of us would ask of another that we would not be willing to do our self. The worst type of school administrator would have to be the “country club” administrator. To me this is a person who is just laid back and uninterested in the issues that educators face. They are more interested in their paycheck...

...investment, and jobs. They share the biggest trading relationship in the world with almost 2 billion dollars’ worth of products crossing the border every single day. The stock market consists mostly from the companies located in the U.S. Who obtain natural resources from Canada. Our southern neighbor is the biggest foreign investor in Canada; in addition 1 out of 5 jobs in Canada are linked to international trade. In conclusion if anything were to happen to the economy of the United States it would affect our economy as well. Canada is a member of the G8 and has the 7th largest economy in the world. U.S is very important to us, considering the fact that about 70 percent of the population lives 200 Miles away from the boarder. Trade is essential; Canada is blessed with a huge oil resource, the second largest after Saudi Arabia (Canada’s economic overview, Par4). We are also the second largest country after Russia. We are known worldwide as a very diverse country, top when it comes to economics and occupies a lot of land. Trade of natural resources and different products is very important to keep Canada at the top. The United States of America and Canada share the biggest trade relationship in the world. U.S accounts for 73% of all exports and 63% of all imports in Canada. When NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) was established in 1989 trade increased dramatically (NAFTA, Par1). In 2006, this deal with the United States exceeded 533.7 billion dollars (U.S and Canada...

...encounter as we walk through the journey of our everyday life. When things go bad, we may feel fear, anger or sadness. When things go right, we may feel happiness, trust and love. These are some of the emotions that we feel in every situation that we come across. Did you observed anything in your community? Or around the area you visited? Did you ever think with yourself why this or that things happen? What are the solutions that we might do for this kind of issue? Or think on how do we avoid that such thing which contributes terrible effect in our country? Try to read this essay and recognize some of the issues that you may not be observed in your community. I am a second year student in college of business and accountancy. My mother is a vendor in a sari-sari store while my father is a vulcanizer. And despite of the poverty, I am very blessed that I did not stop and continue right now in studying. The reason why I say that I am blessed, because I observed in our own community that there were many children who are not enrolled in school, even in public schools only. The main cause that I’ve think why this things happen is because they are not interested in studying, their parents did not allow them to go-off for school or they have medical problems. They are not interested: because if their interest is on studying they will find a way on how they can enroll in school. They can work in some stores in the market while studying or they can sell some foods or things that are needed...

Thus, allowing land to produce vegetation: “seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” (Genesis 1:9-13) 4) On the fourth day God created the stars and the sun. Creating two great lights, “the greater light to govern day, and lesser light to govern night.” (Genesis 1:14-19) 5) On day five fish and birds were created. Living birds flying above the expanse sky and the great creature in the expanse sea. God blessed them and said, “be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on earth.” (Genesis 1:20-23) 6) On the sixth day of creation, land animals and man were created. At this time there was no death on the Earth, and God proclaimed it was good. The six days of creation contradicts the Darwinian model, which claims death predates man. God blessed the land animals and man telling them, “be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creatures that moves on the ground.” (Genesis...

...and diseases among the Old World countries and the New World. Because of their trades and exploration our country has helped become what it is today. It is a powerful, wealthy, independent nation that has given opportunity to others that settlers were able to find when they came here. We have been blessed with the technologies that were brought here. Machinery and agricultural equipment helped develop the land and feed more people. Architectural designs grew large and great cities. Domesticated farm animals allowed people to have a permanent place to live and grow their families as well as a community. Some native animals were also sent back to Europe such as the turkey and some camelids. Plant species that were traded greatly helped the European countries more than the New World settlers. Basic crops such as potatoes, corn, squash, and beans provided more food choices for the average European citizen. They also benefitted from chili peppers and cacao. This enabled them to have some spice and chocolate. Columbus only brought sugar cane over to be grown since it did not grow well there. This enhanced the American diet though not always in a good way. The diseases that were exchanged through contact devastated mainly the Native Americans who had no immunity to things like small pox and influenza. Syphilis was contracted from the natives through sexual contact and was spread through immorality even though it probably affected the innocent as well. Though there are negatives from...

...Road to Economic Success for Scandinavian Countries From prehistoric times we have come to know man’s primary instinct is survival. Basic ingredients necessary for survival are mainly food, clean water and shelter. Man has forever sought out these resources to fulfill his basic needs. It is the nature of the earth that it is unevenly distributed and yet equally blessed. If there is a barren land that lacks vegetation then it has been blessed with black gold; oil and coal. If a land is laden with vegetation then it may lack in something else. It is the uneven distribution of nature’s resources and man’s sequential discovery of them that has led to migration from the beginning of time. It is also one of the causes of the dilemma of “developed nations” versus “developing nations”. This leads us to the main point. Scandinavian countries were once abandoned by their local inhabitants in favor of other countries that were perceived to have better resources, namely the United States. This was mainly because agriculture was the main source of sustenance for people at that point in history and fertile land for agricultural activities was quite scarce in Scandinavian countries at that particular time. As time moved on though, technology improved so the ability to discover and exploit the unique natural resources available to a country improved, hence Scandinavian countries began to flourish economically. The point to be proven is that discovery and efficient exploitation of a country’s...

...that additional priestly resources be given to the cluster so that the Back Mountain people can be adequately served". I am appalled at the lack of sensitivity that the Dioceses has shown regarding the closing of Blessed Sacrament and St. Frances Cabrini church. There is a difference living in the country as opposed to the city where another Catholic church is right down the road. We have to travel miles to get to mass and, when you close St. Frances Cabrini, it will be miles upon miles! We have elderly, disabled and families with young children that will have to drive upon treacherous roads in the winter to attend mass and other functions. Has any person in the Commission tried attending mass on a cold winter ice covered day 20 miles from home in the country?? I believe that the Holy Redeemer Church on route 92 in Falls is also closing? That will afford us less opportunities for mass. We will have no church in our community AND not even near our community! The additional priestly resources is not what we need. We need a church closer than 20 miles (I did the math) from our homes! I am sickened by such a callous display by an assembly of men and women who believe "they have the communities best interests at heart". Well, sirs and madams, you are tearing apart our country community and I hope you can sleep at...

...Church of England states that the unborn child is alive and created by God. Roman Catholics are totally against abortion. Rather than interfere with the process of life Christians trust that God knows what is best for us and it is not our choice to decide. Catholic Christianity Church opposes abortion because it believes that life is sacred and unbreakable. In 1995, Pope John Paul II wrote an encyclical letter called Evangelism Vitae (the Gospel of Life) in which he spoke of "the sacred value of human life from its very beginning" and of the struggle between the Culture of Life and the Culture of Death. They believe that life begins at conception therefore destroying a fetus is the same as taking a life of a fully grown adult. "The lord blessed her, and she became pregnant and had a son" in this bible verse it says that God made her conceive and Roman Catholic's interpret this and say that only God can give life so only God can take life...
