Population Growth and Economic Development

When developing countries try to set out for modern economic development, the first problem that they normally face is acceleration in population growth and consequent relative exhaustion of natural resources. Rapid increase in population is a major problem because it constraints the development of low income economies. It results to low income and wage, that increases the dependency of economies on natural resources and we know that resources are scarce. The faster the increase in population, the faster the consumption of limited resources. Population boom among developing economies is characterized by an exogenous population growth which is characterized as an acceleration, to a large extent due to importation of health and medical technologies from advanced

Is technology helping a department or students create a great improvement in education? What about the INTEL Program and the module-based materials?
Definitely yes. As a student, I learned a lot about data based design, project management through the utilization of computer, the use of multimedia and publication, exploring the internet, constructing rubrics and compiling references for future use. With all of these exposure and training I gained skills that really helped me become better student.
Every new activity is a new challenge. Educational Technology really twisted my thinking skills and my creativity with the help of the 21st century skills and the Intel Program.
Intel Program. Using technology is indeed a very useful tool to improve academic program. It’s not just for information access but also for other educational purposes. With the use of Intel Program, I was able to identify the crucial part of educational activities and processes.
Since we are now in the modern era, technology information and skills is really a need. I can say that I was able to gain higher order thinking skills such as critical thinking through this Educational Technology in collaboration with Intel Program.

Woman, Do You Know Your Rights?

Right to proper Labor: Feminization of Labor and empowering women

Statistics proved that more women continue to suffer from discriminations hence violating the principles of Equality of Rights and Res-pect for Women’s Dignity. The UN states that women perform 2/3 of world’s work, but earn only 10% of world’s property; they own less than 1% of world’s property; each year, some 3-4 million women worldwide are victims of battering, often by spouses. Women and girl child refugees comprise 80% of total world refugee population. Each year, 2 million girls between ages 5 and 15 are introduced into the commercial sex industry.
Women who are victims of domestic violence are 12 times more likely to attempt suicide than those who do not experience such violence. Only 1 in 100 battered women in the U.S. reports the abuse she suffers. Every nine seconds, a woman is battered by her domestic partner. A 1998 study found that in the United States 1 out of every 6 women has experienced an attempted or completed rape. Of these women, 22% were under 12 years old and 32% were aged 12-17 at the time of the crime.

Hear The World Cries
Mildred Gayaden

I’m sad, I cried, what happened to my land?
My trees, gardens, and mountains I cannot found;
High buildings, houses, establishments and factories are at stand;
Where are those that I’ve provided for your life?
My waters are clear. How come it turned black;
I see garbage floating at my banks;
It poisons my bio inside.
Dehydration is waiting at my side.
I’m suffocated, no more clean air entering my lungs.
My glaciers are melting, my islands are submerging.
I feel very warm, my head is on alarm;
I’m carrying now billions of weights that makes my hand numb.
What have you done to me? You take the beauty away from me.
Can’t you see?
Ravaged and plundered, bitten and ripped.
Tucked with knives when will these burdens last?
I want to go back to the past.
When everything’s nice.
Wyoming was the first state to allow women to vote.
Hitler was voted Time Magazines man of the year in 1938.
The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin during WW II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.
Bock’s Car was the name of the B-29 Bomber that dropped the Atomic Bomb at Nagasaki.
