Overpopulation

Human Overpopulation

 Our reproductive system plays as almost everyday part in our lives. It dictate our roles in society, our preferences in a mates or perhaps what you want to experience. But many things can happen to our body and our reproductive system has no shortage of potential problems.

The Biggest Issue: Teenage Pregnancy

Solution: Birth Control Methods: is any method, medicine, or device used to prevent pregnancy. Women can choose from many different types of birth control. Some work better than others at preventing pregnancy. The type of birth control you use depends on your health, your desire to have children now or in the future, and your need to prevent sexually transmitted infections. Your doctor can help you decide which type is best for you right now.

1. Condoms: are thin pouches that keep sperm from getting into the vagina. 

2. Vasectomy: is a form of permanent male contraception that involves surgically cutting or blocking the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the penis.

3. Birth Control Pills: are a kind of medicine with hormones. Birth control pills come in a pack, and you take 1 pill every day. The pill is safe, affordable, and effective if you always take your pill on time. Besides preventing pregnancy, the pill has lots of other health benefits, too.

4. Sterilization: surgery to make a person or animal unable to produce offspring.

5. Abstinence: Abstinence (AB-stih-nints) is the simplest form of birth control. If two people don't have sex, sperm can't fertilize an egg and there's no possibility of pregnancy. A person doesn't have to be a virgin to practice abstinence. Sometimes, someone who has been having sex decides to stop doing so. A person who has been having sex can still choose abstinence to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the future.

Bakit tayo nanghuhusga?

Bakit tayo nanghuhusga?

(why do we judge?)

     

                Ano ang panghuhusga? Ang pahuhusga ay kung saan ang tao o ikaw ay minamaliit mo or natin yung ibang tao, yung may hindi ka gusto nila o may gusto ka sa kanila na dapat mo sirain para siya ay maka daan nang ating pinagdaaan. Yung naging makasarili tayo na napunta sa punto na naka sira na tayo nang ibang mga tao na hindi natin alam. May dalawang uri nang panghuhusga, Una ang positibo at ikalawa ang negatibo.

       

                May maraming tao ang nakaranas nang hinuhusga or maraming tao ang nakaranas na humusga nang kapwa tao. Ako isang biktima nang nahusga noon, yung mga ginagawa ko para hindi ako maiwan nang isang taong minamahal ako at pinapasaya ako. Yung akala nila ako ay nasasaktan pero sa totoo hindi, nung inakala nila ginagamit ako sa tao na yun pero hindi sa totoo lang siya yung taong meron ako at siya yung taong naka intindi sa akin. Masakit malaman na mahusgahan dahil di nila alam ang totoong isturya. Maraming nasira na relasyon, friendship at mga kompanya dahil sa nga panghuhusga pero di lahat nang hinuhusgahan ay negatibo ang narating meron ding mga positibo.

                Ang naintindihan ko sa leksyon na ito o ang tanong na ito ay dapat natin malaman ang totoong isturya at ang lahat nang isturya bago tayo manghusga dahil baka naka sira na tayo ng buhay na di natin na-aalam. Matutong mag tanong, wag puro diretso.

The Right Path

"I dont know where this path would lead me to but would you ride with me?"

           

                             I agree, cause in life we need someone to be with us in every journey. It's hard to be on a journey by ourselves, we cannot enjoy our lives without someone helping us or without someone guiding us to our own mysterious paths.

                             I was depressed when I read the quote cause I too was alone and confused on what and how I would choose my own path. We dont need to be lonely to know our path. We need someone to let us correct the wrong we'd take.

                             I had an experience on wanting someone to be with me, cause I dont know where to go and how would it take to choose a path but one day. A girl came to my life and helped me or inspired me to go on a path with her. We showed moments and hardships on choosing the right paths for us. 

                             The quotes means that, there is someone who is alone, who is depressed, and who is confused on what path he/she will take. This certain kind of person wanted someone to be there with him/her, wanted someone to help choose his path and wanted someone to conquer his/her loneliness in life. 

                              The quote works on with character personality, where that no people should be afraid to seek help from someone on what path he/she would go. Let's change that kind of personality into "Would you ride with me?". We should never be afraid to ask and to take a risk.

            

                                My new insights in life is, We should never be afraid to ask, and we should never be afraid to be with someone to guide us to our path pr to be with someone that corrects us when life is going down to pieces. 

Judgement of Paris

Judgement of Paris

When Eris, goddess of strife, isn't invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, the spiteful goddess tosses a golden apple into the crowd, with the words "to the fairest" written on it. This causes a big argument among Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite over who is the most beautiful goddess. The job of beauty contest judge falls on Paris of Troy, who decides that Aphrodite is the fairest after she promises him the hand of Helen of Sparta. Unfortunately, Helen is the wife of Menelaus, King of Sparta, so when Paris makes off with his prize, the Trojan War quickly follows after.

The Iliad

Torn between his allegiances, Achilles orders his friend and lover, Patroclus, to dress in Achilles‘own armour and to lead the Myrmidons in repelling the Trojans. Intoxicated by his success, Patroclus forgets Achilles‘ warning, and pursues the fleeing Trojans to the walls of Troy and would have taken the city were it not for the actions of Apollo. In the heat of the battle, though, Hector finds the disguised Patroclus and, thinking him to be Achilles, fights and (again with Apollo’ help) kills him. Menelaus and the Greeks manage to recover Patroclus’s corpse before Hector can inflict more damage.

The Story of Creation

Genesis 1, the opening scene of the biblical drama, introduces us to the two main characters in the Bible: God and man. Author Gene Edwards refers to this drama as The Divine Romance. Here we meet God, the Almighty Creator of all things, revealing the ultimate object of his love—man—as he concludes the stunning work of creation. God has set the stage. The drama has begun

Trojan War

TROJAN WAR

 

 "Revenge can cause greater suffering",  Many times in life you might feel that someone has done you wrong. Holding a grudge is only going to make things worse. Hatred consumes the one who hates. You should aim for your goal and not stand still in life. Hatred and wanting to get even for something can hold you back. I’m not saying that you should let everything go and let injustice reign but that you should not allow your mind to stall.

Trojan War is a false and was never real.  The story of the Trojan War, the Bronze Age conflict between the kingdoms of Troy and Mycenaean Greece, straddles the history and mythology of ancient Greece and inspired the greatest writers of antiquity, from Homer, Herodotus and Sophocles to Virgil. The story of trojan war is considered as part of an Epic.

"A new beginning is always possible", Even though Troy’s end is tragic we are shown that some of the Trojans lead to Prince Paris escape and are going somewhere else to begin a new life. People’s lives are filled with moments where an end comes. That may be in the professional field or maybe in a relationship or a marriage. Even though it may be tough, life is a constant cycle of beginnings & ends. You can always start over, just like the Trojans.

 

 In wars, There will always be bloodshed but in every bloodshed, there will always be this abstract feeling called "Hope". Hope will never leave our side, Hope is the only key in order for us to not give up in certain things even though we know the we cant do it or we are giving up. Hope is in all of us.

Desiderata: Be happy

Desiderata 


Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story. 
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. 


Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism. 


Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass. 


Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself. 


You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. 


Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. 


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy. 


By Max Ehrmann





     Happiness is where we can feel excitement and where we can feel that we have a proper purpose in life. Happiness let's be the person I am, let's me be the person I want to become and Happiness let's me have the freedom, I want to have. Happiness is used in the context of mental or emotional states, including positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. It is also used in the context of life satisfaction, subjective well-being, eudaimonia, flourishing and well-being.







      "Be cheerful. Strive to be happy", This lesson is easy to say but hard to do, It's because we can't be happy be happy every single day because of our personal problems in life. It's hard no endure the pain and the suffering while dealing with problems. Be cheerful in every way in order for us to achieve the happiness, we want in life. Strive to be happy in every problem, Strive to be happy in every suffering and Strive to be happy in bad days.

                 The poem made me realise, in a way. that problems are just an obstacle in a successful, problems are just a distraction and problems are just temporary. Dont let our problems conquer just, Let our happiness conquer us! Happiness is given us to God in order for Him to let us know that problems are just temporary and happiness is ever lasting. 

 

             I conclude that Im still seeking for my true happiness, My goal is to find the happiness that I really want to get. I need to explore much further in order to achieve the happiness, I want.

DOGS ARE BETTER

For me Dogs are the best! Because they love you more than themselves. They can sense sadness/pain when you are depressed. Dogs are amazing than cats, Cats are lazy and sometime will scratch you. I will tell you 3 reasons why Dogs are better than cats.

FIRST OFF, when you arrived at home cats linger in doorways. I've tried that feeling when you arrived someone approaches you with love and licks from dogs. I have that one friend who loves cats when I entered their house hi Cat approaches me with their tails straighten up my legs and scratching my legs. Not like dogs they jumped,wiggle and sometimes scream because of excitement.

Second, Dogs improve you health too, with their need for daily walks getting you out of the house. Even when you want to entertain you inner couch potato, you cant! as dogs force you to exercise. Not like cats they cant be walk because they are too lazy to walk and go to the park, I have heard only a few cats wants to go for a walk but dogs mostly 10,000 dogs have been walked in the park for one day. You can also lose weight while doing it. You'll meet new friends and you can socialize with them.

Third, They say you cant teach an old dog new tricks,but you cant teach a cat any at all. Its not just about playing games of fetch. Bertie, my two year old Cavalier, and I have a repertoire for house guests to show off his skills in begging and doing roly-poly on command. With their heightened sense of smell and alert ear, Dogs can save your life. I heard from the BBC NEWS PATROL that their dog saved them from danger. Their Dog pitbull saved their baby by Biting the tail of a python they faught and until they both died except for the Baby.

To finish my proving, I herby say Dogs are better then Cats cause "Dogs are man's bestfriends". Dogs aint lazy you can have fun with them by teaching them tricks, They can give you a nice hug and a warm kiss from their lips. Dogs can LOVE you more than themselves.
