How do you define sustainable development?

 How do you define sustainable development?            The first thing that comes up to my mind when I heard the word sustainable development is just like maintaining a progressive life in the long term. Yes, of course, we cannot sustain a better life without making the right decision towards our work, using natural resources, and socializing with other people. What is very important here is the benefits we can make to mother earth as we are the inhabitants of his planet and we all rely on resources so it is our responsibility to take good care of them. However, to meet our needs completely we need to work or establish a business to earn for a living. But we need to make sure that we will survive long and secure our future and the future of our generations. We can achieve sustainable development if we always consider the sake of our resources not minding the income we could generate by abusing nature just to earn double in a short span of time. I reme...

Nowadays where modern technology has been accessible to many people with the use of the internet and many have been exposed to porn sites that influence them to do such bad things to their fellow. But we must grateful somehow for interventions produced by our government and by using technology they were able to control the growth of the population.

This program promotes woman's empowerment that helps them do the things they want to improve themselves. So many women today are studying in school together with men, proving that they can do the things men can do. Women nowadays can work and earn money on their own and they can support their families.

      What are the benefits and detriments of economies dependent on migrant remittances?   When we say remittances it tells about of course financial or monetary remittances and this is generally a private money transfer that migrants made individually or collectively generally back to their country of origin. It is possible for transfers to be sent from countries of origin to countries of destination.

Differentiate Allophone and Phoneme

                                                                       Differentiate Allophone and Phoneme.    A phoneme is an individual unit of sound in the word. It is any of the perceptually distinct units of the sound of a specified language that distinguish one word from another. Slashes represent it. Allophone is a phonetic variation of phonemes that actually pronounces speech sounds. Brackets represent it. A phoneme is a mental abstract representation of speech sound, a mental category it is a psychological reality so whenever we are producing phonemes it only exists in our minds when we are actually speaking it that when we use allophones.

Which of the aforementioned views on the history of globalization do find most appealing?

  Which of the aforementioned views on the history of globalization do you find most appealing? Why? The most appealing view in the history of globalization for me is hardwired. When we say globalization, it is the process by which ideas, knowledge, goods and services, and information spread around the world. And I believe that it will happen if people will start to travel and try to interact with other people where the exchange of goods and information takes place. As we can see from the concept of Nayan Chanda (hardwired) that globalization began with the exodus of the first human in Africa. Africans are our ancestors. Well, we knew that we modern humans originated in Africa so, therefore, of course, there is a big possibility that the first origin of globalization will be in that place.  Our ancestor was urged to travel because they experience depletion in their resources and they need to search for a climate where more food was available to make their life better and s...

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of homogenization of culture

   What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of homogenization of culture?  One of the advantages of homogenization of culture for me is that the connection of people around the world will become stronger, and tighten which creates bonding with each other since the communication between them is comprehensible to one another because they already have one culture and beliefs, this avoids misconception. People have more access to the new cultural products and they can able to import products legally. Since communication is easier across borders, the access to information and data needed by people is also accessible. People around the world share ideas and understanding of the world that’s why many countries cooperate in the development of education technology following the standard set. People can have more opportunities and choices in the content the world can offer like music, movies, and more options for consumers. Now, on the other hand, the disadvanta...

Are societies in the world becoming more similar (homogenous) or more different (heterogenous)

  Are societies in the world becoming more similar (homogenous) or more different (heterogeneous)?   From my observation that was happening today the world is now becoming more similar or homogenous. Most of the things we used nowadays are becoming more accessible to everyone. The influence of global products like phones, cars even beauty products has become dominant to people and an increasing number of people preferred to buy almost the same unit of cellphones, and items with the same brands and styles. We can even buy whatever we want online and there are products that all countries can use or purchase. There is a restaurant that is available globally and wherever you are around the globe you can buy the foods similarly and eat in the same restaurant or fast food. For example, the largest fast food chain in the world is McDonald where everyone can avail same foods. We preferred branded products, clothes, and shoes that become trends and fashion by people.   It is eas...

How will you apply the concept of the monitor model as future English Teacher

  How will you apply the concept of the monitor model as a future English Teacher? Sometimes I wonder how teachers become great in their profession even if no one noticed their perseverance and consistency in teaching. It is easy for students to distinguish a teacher who has heart in their chosen career. Students can feel the seriousness and can see the ability of a teacher once they teach. Students regardless of their capacity to acquire learning from a good teacher. That is not magic it is the work of a teacher who knows what exactly they are doing. What if I become a teacher? This is the question I am processing in my mind today.  Applying the concept of Stephen Krashen’s monitor model is what I needed, to become an effective and reliable teacher to my future students. First I need to plan, teaching without planning is useless. Because my goal is to have meaningful interaction with my students. I would like to understand my student first. I need to monitor each and ever...

Is English a sacred language

  Is English a sacred language? English is a universal language and this is also helpful to understand the religious doctrines of people who have different languages however for me it is not considered sacred. The English language was used only to translate the original scriptures written in other languages like our bible which is originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.  Since sacred language is dedicated to religious purposes or a religious language unlike English we use it for good and evil while sacred language is where the revelation from God is received and used by the churches without changing its true meaning and maintaining the only source. If an original scripture will be translated the divine message might change and the interpretation might not be correct that leads to confusion. Sacred language is not used in ordinary communication thus we can say that English is not sacred since it is used by everyone even in ordinary and common conversation, they even...

Factors Affecting Second Language Acquisition

  Factors Affecting Second Language Acquisition    Language is important, it begins as early as the child starts to hear and tends to speak. This is the time when he or she wants to express himself to others or to ask something to someone. But a child cannot only learn one language as he or she grows up but he or she can acquire two or more languages depending on his or her capabilities and their environment. And what are the factors that affect people's second language? Based on the observation not everyone is at the same level of proficiency in their language. You may say that those who are excellent at communicating with others are those who are knowledgeable about their language. They are someone who is creative and imaginative with a better understanding of the things around them yet who can deliver a message perfectly and comprehensibly to others. On the other hand, acquiring a second language is a personal choice for us if we want to become fluent in it. As a ...

Differentiante behaviorism, innatism, and interactionism

    Differentiate behaviorism, innatism, and interactionism Behaviorism is emphasizing performance and behavior in successful learning, In behaviorism, someone learns oral language from other humans through processes that involve imitation, appreciation, and practice. Children acquire language through more practice, repeating the same words or phrases. Innatism views language as a creative process, acquiring language through physical interactions with the environment. Innatists do not see language development as something that is influenced by responses to stimuli as behaviorists do. One would have a very hard time learning or mastering one language after one passed a certain period of time, usually before puberty. Children do not only imitate the sounds they hear when learning languages, but also arrange grammar in the language as they go through the natural development process. While Interactionism uses language in communicative actions, children learned language mainly th...
