...My chosen area of study is law. David Starkey’s lecture on the Magna Carta at the Hay on Wye literacy festival influenced my interest in law because although the charter was revised and reissued on numerous occasions, however it had laid down the concept that no one is above the law. The Magna Carta was a product of its time so consequently it very much affected people’s lives in 1215, whether that be the Barons or the Monarch himself. The same can be said in today’s society, that the current laws affect everyone. Like the Magna Carta, I believe that is important that the laws of today are a product of our time, introduced and amended so that they reflect the concerns and ideas of the current civilisation. It is imperative to help people from...

...John Marvin J. Balinuyos Relevant Laws for Teachers III-13 HC BSE-English Prof. Jerick S. Ferrer Summary of Ideas Mr. Benjo Basas, alumnus at the Philippine Normal University and the current chairperson of Teacher’s Dignity Coalition, lectures on The Basic Education and the Challenge to Filipino Teachers, which primarily voices the teacher’s right, held on March 12, 2014, Wednesday at BPS Auditorium, Philippine Normal University-Manila.. In the forum, Mr. Basas talked about some very important declarations in law which have not been true or have not practiced over the course of time. This revolves mainly on Article XIV, Section 5 and of course, the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers. It was discussed in the forum the lack of facilities that will enable the teachers to easily teach the students. In the Philippines, teachers face different challenges such as lack of books, chairs, and classrooms. They may also face the challenge of low salary and high expenses. Even though they have these types of challenges, our teachers still fulfill their sworn duty, which is to teach and ensure the learning of their students. Mr. Basas truly touched the topic of Magna Carta for Public School Teachers that ensures protection of teachers’ social and economic status in the country. Future teachers should be prepared as early as possible especially the conflict they will be facing. Mr. Basas wanted the audience to realize how important understanding the nature...

...school, they’ll be more ready. Somehow, I commend the idea of this program since all they wanted is to produce adequate and quality education. They don’t want to take risks in letting the students to enter the higher education if they weren’t yet ready. But the idea itself is somehow risky in the part of the students because they will spend another year in high school. Without this program I know that the goal of having an adequate and quality education will still be attained because there are many options of alternative ways in fabricating educated and learned students. They could still attain this goal in a way of imparting efficient and adequate knowledge. This program is indeed risky because it will be needed more classrooms, books and teachers in a long period of time. Therefore, as part of my conclusion, Bridge Program is not that necessary because there are many possible ways in accomplishing the goalmouth. Children and Human Rights All children shall be entitled to the rights herein set forth without distinction as to legitimacy or illegitimacy, sex, social, status, religion, political antecedents and other factors....

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the study Education plays a vital role in man’s journey towards excellence. This serves as the armour of an individual in facing the demands of life, a life where all his needs are supplemented. Nonetheless to attain such individuals of different status, socio-economic class, are sent to school to pursue his/her education. In the Philippine education system, extra or co-curricular activities are implemented to enhance or improve the learning of students not only on the academic field but also on the co-curricular one. Co- curricular activities include student leadership, campus journalism and campus athletics. These are considered as responsibilities that students involved must take and seriously consider. The Republic Act.no. 7079 or the campus Journalism Act of 1991 serves as the basis of Higher Education Institution in organizing such body. As provided by the provision inculcated in the law, Campus publication staffs. Shall serves and must voice out their grievances of the fellow students. Thus, this requires a great sacrifice in the time of coming up of one output either in the form of broadsheet, tabloid, newsletter, magazine, and folio, depending on their choice. On the other hand, as provided by R.A no. 8292 otherwise known as the Higher Education Modernization act of 1997, the formation of the student body organization is thereby required amongst SUC’s, the President of SBO shall serve as the Representative of the students...

Human rights are right to which every person is entitled by virtue of being human living in society of other human. According to Thomas Paine, In rights of man is 1721 about French revolution that the representation of people of France feels that ignorance of human right are the main curse of public misfortune. Cicero the statesman the orator of ancient Rome, produced the work that the reflected the principle of Roman public and rights rights of citizen. Human rights are mainly social, economic and political rights. The doctrine of human rights has been highly influential within international law, global and regional institutions. Actions by states and non-governmental organizations form a basis of public policy worldwide. The idea of human right suggests that "if the public discourse of peacetime global society can be said to have a common moral language, it is that of human rights. (Kaur) The strong claims made by the doctrine of human rights continue to provoke considerable skepticism and debates about the content, nature and justifications of human rights to this day....

...Name: Santos, Cezar John S. Yr/Course: BSED – MAPE – 3 History of Special Education: Although there are isolated examples of caring for and treating disabled individuals in ancient Greece and Rome, early societies typically shunned people who differed from the norm. During the middle Ages the church became the first institution to provide care for physically or mentally impaired people, but the development of techniques associated with special education did not emerge until the Renaissance, with its emphasis on human dignity. In the mid-1500s Pedro Ponce de León succeeded in teaching deaf pupils in Spain to speak, read, and write; it is assumed that his methods were followed by Juan Pablo Bonet, who in 1620 published the first book on the subject. This gave rise to a wider European interest in the education of deaf individuals. In 17th-century England John Bulwer published an account of his experiences teaching deaf persons to speak and lip-read, and in France similar work was carried on by Charles-Michel, abbé de l’Epée (1712–89), who changed the nature of communication for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals by developing the natural sign language they used into a systematic and conventional language for more universal use. His work was developed by Roch-Ambroise Cucurron, Abbé Sicard, and gave rise to the manual system, or silent method, of teaching people with hearing impairments. In Germany Samuel Heinicke experimented with training deaf children to speak, and in...

In the fields of social and mass media we can see a lot of successful female icons such as Jessica Soho, Mel Tiangco and Kris Aquino. Also, the term house husband has now been coined, accepted and even practiced by a lot of Filipino families. In the Political scene we see Jambi Madrigal, Meriam Defensor Santiago and Former President Cory Aquino as beacons of female competency. And we now have laws which promote and protects women’s personal, professional and health choices such as RA9262 Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004, the Magna Carta for women, and the most recent, RA 10354 or the responsible parenthood and reproductive health act of 2012. Seeing these examples and comparing them from times past where women were pressured by society to be simple house wives and viewed as properties, I can honestly say that we have indeed come far, but there is still a long...

The Magna Carta i. 1215 agreement between King John of England and English nobility creating certain civil rights. ii. Due process is referred to as "law of the land" and "legal judgment of peers."

...oppressive, or capricious manner (WiseGeek, 2003). The most important fundamental level, is that it prohibits the government from taking any action against the individual that would result in the loss of liberty or property, without first making sure the individual notice of pending action, and has the opportunity to be heard. In every case, before the final decision can be made, the government has to provide the individual, through judicial or administrative procedures that are fair to the individual and impractical, and the ability to challenge the state action. The more serve the case of deprivation of liberty, the more rigorous the due process procedures afforded must be (WiseGeek, 2003). The origin of due process derived from the Magna Carta, and was wrung from the barons from Prince John in 1215, and therefore forever committed by the English monarch to solemn vow that “no man shall be taken or imprisoned or disseized or outlawed, or in manner destroyed; but by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land (The beginning; 2007).” In 1355, “Law of...

...American National Government (ACK1514E) May 4, 2015 September 11, 2001, who will ever forget that date? I know that I won’t. I was a junior in high school and all of sudden the school went into automatic “lock down mode.” Not really understanding what was going on, until teachers turned the televisions on channels liken CNN, FOX News, and the local news station. That’s when we saw scrolling at the bottom of the screen, “Breaking News: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAD BEEN ATTACKED BY TERRORIST.” Some students were sitting in the classroom confused and afraid, some began to cry, some prayed, and some were silent. This was actually my first time fully understanding what terrorism was and what it looked like and I learned a lot of respect for the term “habeas corpus.” In this paper, I will discuss how habeas corpus came into existence, the case involving the detainees at Guantanamo Bay, and the revellance of habeas corpus with the commander-in-chief. Habeas corpus is an issued order of legal action for which unlawful detainees and prisoners can seek relief for unlawful imprisonment. (http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/habeas_corpus ) Derived from English common law, habeas corpus first appeared in the Magna Carta of 1215 and is the oldest human right in the history of English-speaking civilization; which was signed by King John. He stated, "No man shall be arrested or imprisoned...except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land.” (http://truth-out.org) The doctrine...

...Vowell mentioned made to discriminate against a group of people, based on a majority’s fear. Vowell’s writing shows bias against reactionary immigration policies, as she does with other conservative ideas and policies. In May 1637, the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony issued an order to keep people who may be as dangerous as Anne Hutchinson out of the colony. This policy was directly targeting Anne Hutchinson's followers in order to diminish their support and prevent more people from becoming a supporter. Hutchinson became controversial when she began to hold religious meetings in her home with as many as sixty people in attendance and campaigned for her brother-in-law, John Wheelwright, to become the Boston congregation teacher. She wanted to evolve the church and the magistrates did not like what she was doing. Leaders in the Massachusetts Bay Colony feared the type of change Hutchinson was preaching and wanted to prevent it. On September 6, 1901 President McKinley was shot by a Polish anarchist, which sparked fear of anarchists in the United States. Two years after the assassination, Congress passed a law that would prevent any anarchists or those who promoted overthrowing the government from immigrating into the country. Later, Congress would expand their anti-anarchist policy in the Immigration Act of 1903. Immigration authorities would use this to their advantage during the Palmer raids, which were a series of raids conducted in order to deport anarchists...
