My Journey into the World of Web Blogging

Image
  The first quarter helped me learn about web blogs more thoroughly including their types, elements, objectives, and the intricate skills involved in their creation. It helped me understand how to communicate ideas appropriately through the use of this medium which can reach a wider audience. I also appreciated the role of design and ergonomics in the creation of the blogs and this opened my eyes to the fusion of art and engineering in the making of web content. In my case, one of those problems was understanding how to operate some of the technical features of the blogging areas. At times I would get challenged on how to furnish the blog with images, animations, or videos while factoring in the structure of the blog or ensuring that the blog is in proper shape. The other problem was getting content out there that would capture the attention of the target audience when no ideas were coming out, a classic case of writer’s block occurs in such instances. To mitigate such difficulties, I

Reduction Of Plastic Waste In Our Communities: A Way Of Taking Up Environmental Responsibilities

Image
  Plastic emergence is a major environmental concern in the current society. This is mainly due to the excessive use of plastic waste and ineffective waste management systems. In this blog post, I aim to highlight easy and responsible courses that we as a community can take to create a cleaner environment, especially by reducing plastic waste. Strategies for Plastic Waste Minimization Avoid Single-Use Plastics The easiest way to waste less plastic would be to avoid single-use plastics, such as straws, plastic bags, utensils, and so forth. Instead of using such needless products, we should use reusable products such as metal straws, cloth bags, etc so that the pile of plastic waste in landfills and the oceans is minimized. Use Refillable pump Bottles Instead of using plastic pumps or spray bottles, encourage people in the community to use glass, stainless steel, or silicone refillable pump bottles. This modification can help in reducing household plastic waste. Bring about Activities fo

Together4Teachers: Commemorating the Foundation of Teaching

Image
 As part of this year’s National Teachers Month Celebrations, the theme for this year is “Together4Teachers”. It is imperative such through education as posed by teachers’ involvement. Parents alone cannot do this since they are not trained to be educators. Hence, teachers sculpt them such that they are self-fulfilled and productive members of society. By knowing and understanding their students and their surroundings, teachers act as more than just instructors as they help students aspire beyond the limits of textbook textbooks to internalize virtues like compassion, dedication, and accountability. From year to year, especially in recent events like the global pandemic, they have been showing great innovation which enables education even when circumstances are tough. Still, the journey of the teacher is not as rosy as it is designed. Many enter the teaching profession battling with large classes, few resources, and an ungrateful society, but even those in the trenches remain loyal. Du

Towards a More Resilient Philippines: Causes, Responses, and Challenges

Image
The location of the Philippines makes it susceptible to natural calamities such as earthquakes, cyclones, and volcanos since it lies in the Pacific Typhoon Belt as well as the Pacific Ring of Fire. These occurrences are accompanied by destruction as well as loss of lives. Because of these climatic conditions, and most particularly because of climate change, typhoons, floodings, and rising sea levels have become more recurrent and more severe. Poverty, on the other hand, leads to high population growth in urban centers and inadequate sanitation and shelter service provision which also lowers the community’s resilience to disasters, particularly in the Philippines where most people live in slum areas after urban migrations. As a consequence, the Philippine authorities have put in place disaster management skills and approaches. The Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010 shifted the paradigm of management of disasters from the construct of response into an inarguably proactive

Shaping a Brighter, More Promising Future—Starting Today

Image
       In the past few years, it has become clear that there is a growing demand for inclusiveness. Ensuring a cohesive society, which preserves and embraces the diversity of its members and guarantees them equal possibilities, is not only ethically clearer in contemporary social relations. Inclusive means the respect for differences within an individual irrespective of the race, gender, religion, or class of the individual. This is of great advantage to everyone for when everyone is appreciated and respected, richer sources of thoughts and views are welcome for new inventions and advancements in society.           This means it is fundamental to seek targets to achieve inclusion and most importantly, with such measures being put in place, a change in the culture and attitudes towards equality of all is essential. It calls for deliberate actions and strategies in the different aspects of life such as education, employment, and health care. For example, schools should make sure that the
