International Issue

Traditional, because it is tackled before then and several times has been deliberate by many
countries that adversely affects the global community and environment, possibly in a
catastrophic way, including environmental issues, political crisis, social issues and economic
crisis. Solutions to global issues generally require cooperation among nations.

Local Issue

Traditional because it has been argued before and as of today it has never been give part of
solution. For an issue to be considered local, it is not sufficient that it "be important" or that it
"effect" people in our community. There must be something in particular about the issue that is
specific to our community OR the effect of the issue must be disproportionate within our
community, as compared to other communities. Sometimes it is appropriate to talk about the
effect of a national or regional issue/policy on our community, in our local Issues Forum, but
only if we are very explicit about what that local effect is or what the local connection is. When
using the forum to address a general or national issue, it is the responsibility of the poster (and
anyone who responds) to make the local connection very explicit in their message. Do not
assume, that just because there is a uniquely local aspect to an issue, that other participants will
recognize it. Elate to an event that is physically occurring primarily in the Winona region. and/or
a local or regional elected body (or other local organization) has substantial jurisdiction over.
and/ or is currently being debated primarily at local level (as opposed to the
national/international level).
Culture

Culture is a traditional because it has been practice and its been done always by the people.
Culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, encompassing
language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts. ... The word "culture" derives from a
French term, which in turn derives from the Latin "colere," which means to tend to the earth and
grow, or cultivation and nurture. Aside from “hospitality” as an interesting culture of Filipinos,
“debt of gratitude(utang na loob)” is another one. These two are interesting because they are
unique in terms of their degree of fulfillment compared to the other countries’ version of such
culture. These culture and practice is very much prevalent in our country and can be both a
weakness and at the same time a strength. While the former was positively illustrated on some of
the answers above, the latter which sometimes goes hand-in-hand with hospitality can be
understood in this illustration: let’s say you are a candidate for president in the Philippines, Alex
is your friend and therefore supported you in your whole campaign physically and monetarily
without expecting in return. As a result, you win. In other country, after winning, you can just
thank Alex and continue to be your friend as he did his support without asking any favor in
return. However, in the Philippines, with the concept of “utang na loob,” you gave anything to
Alex that may make him happy because of the debt of gratitude. It’s like as a president, you will
give him a good government position and many favors eventhough you are not entitled to it
based on merit but because of the former’s utang na loob. What a crazy people eh? I love
Philippines though. Just that many people were abused due to this cultural cancer.

Politics

Tradition we always practiced it. We elect every year to know who will rule in our country.
Politics is a multifaceted word. It may be used positively in the context of a "political solution"
which is compromising and non-violent,[1] or descriptively as "the art or science of government",
but also often carries a negative connotation. [2] For example, abolitionist Wendell
Phillips declared that "we do not play politics; anti-slavery is no half-jest with us." [3] The concept
has been defined in various ways, and different approaches have fundamentally differing views
on whether it should be used extensively or limitedly, empirically or normatively, and on
whether conflict or co-operation is more essential to it.

A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views
among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising force,
including warfare against adversaries.[4][5][6][7][8] Politics is exercised on a wide range of social
levels, from clans and tribes of traditional societies, through modern local
governments, companies and institutions up to sovereign states, to the international level. In
modern nation states, people often form political parties to represent their ideas. Members of a
party often agree to take the same position on many issues and agree to support the same changes
to law and the same leaders. An election is usually a competition between different parties.

Education

Tradition because the learning system are always teacher recurring from age to age.

Friends

Tradition we do always have friends and even others do. It is a sign of having strong bond
between others.

Family

We always believe that when we all know each other we are families. Tradition

Environment

Tradition because environment is where we live and the future may take.

Religion

Tradition we always believe in God and also our parents wether what religion we do belivied.

Labor

Modern there are works that are modern like call centers.

Justice
Tradition because we practice and establish ever since to achieve right and just.
Technology

Modern Technology, the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life
or, as it is sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment.

Terrorist

Tradition having fondness for family reunions during secular and religious holidays such as
Christmas, New Year's eve, All Saints' Day, Holy Week, Fiestas, homecomings, birthdays,
weddings, graduations, baptisms, funerals etc. is evidence that Filipino people valued not only
our cultural tradition but the spirit of our family.

Territorial Dispute

Tradition, since the Spanish Regime. The leading cause of war in history involves territorial
disputes such as competition over Alsace-Lorraine, Kashmir, the Golan Heights, and the Beagle
Channel. Territorial disputes occur when official representatives of one country make explicit
statements claiming sovereignty over a specific piece of territory that is claimed or administered
by another country. The Issue Correlates of War (ICOW) Project has identified over 800
territorial disputes globally since 1816. Territorial disputes lead to militarized conflict more
frequently than other types of diplomatic disputes involving maritime, river, identity, economic,
cultural, or other issues. A majority of interstate wars have been fought between countries
embroiled in one or more territorial disputes. Countries who share contiguous borders are more
likely to fight wars with each other than non-contiguous states, especially if they have
disagreements over specific pieces of territory. Territory that is more valuable because of natural
resources, religious sites, or historical homeland claims generates more violence. Wars also
spread or diffuse across geographic boundaries. Territorial disputes can be resolved successfully
with peaceful conflict management tools such as arbitration and adjudication through
international courts. The successful settlement of border disputes promotes democratization and
helps secure the stability of shared borders in the long run. State borders have also become more
difficult to violate in recent decades because of the emergence of a norm of territorial integrity.
The general decline in territorial conquest stems in part from increasing economic
interdependence among countries in the world. While disputes over traditional land borders have
decreased over time, other types of territorial disputes have become more prevalent, such as
competition over maritime resources in areas around islands or homeland areas including the
Spratly Islands, the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands, and the Bakassi Peninsula. This review begins by
describing some general overview pieces of the territorial dispute literature, followed by a review
of studies showing why contiguity and territorial disputes are dangerous. This is followed by a
discussion of the characteristics of territorial disputes that make them particularly violent and an
identification of peaceful conflict management strategies that can be effective for resolving
border disputes. The review discusses work on territorial changes and geocoding of border
disputes, as well as documenting the increasing territorial integrity norm and the overall decline
in territorial conquest.

Society

Tradition A society is a group of individuals involved in persistent social interaction, or a

large social group sharing the same spatial or social territory, typically subject to the
same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. Societies are characterized by
patterns of relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a
distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such
relationships among its constituent of members. In the social sciences, a larger society often
exhibits stratification or dominance patterns in subgroups.

Societies construct patterns of behavior by deeming certain actions or speech as acceptable or

unacceptable. These patterns of behavior within a given society are known as societal norms.
Societies, and their norms, undergo gradual and perpetual changes.

Insofar as it is collaborative, a society can enable its members to benefit in ways that would
otherwise be difficult on an individual basis; both individual and social (common) benefits can
thus be distinguished, or in many cases found to overlap. A society can also consist of like-
minded people governed by their own norms and values within a dominant, larger society. This
is sometimes referred to as a subculture, a term used extensively within criminology.

More broadly, and especially within structuralist thought, a society may be illustrated as

an economic, social, industrial or cultural infrastructure, made up of, yet distinct from, a varied
collection of individuals. In this regard society can mean the objective relationships people have
with the material world and with other people, rather than "other people" beyond the individual
and their familiar social environment.
