DEFINITION

Education and a Nation’s Destiny

What is education? It does not mean teaching people what they do not know.
It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave. It is not teaching
the youth the shape of letters and the tricks of numbers, and then leaving
them to turn the arithmetic to roguery, and literature to lust. It means, on the
contrary, training them into the perfect exercise and kingly continence of
their bodies and souls. It is a painful, continual, and difficult work to be done
by kindness, by watchfulness, by precept, and by praise, but above all, by
example!

DESCRIPTION
Tuna (Yellow Fin Fish): General Santos’ Bountiful Harvest!
Tuna is the most beautiful and impressive of the sea’s creatures. This fish,
with its delicate colors and wonderfully streamlined bodies, has evolved to what
appears to be the limit of hydrodynamic refinement. When a tuna is swimming
rapidly, its fins are retracted into grooves and its eyes form a smooth surface with
the rest of the head.

Tuna gets its oxygen from water and not from the air. It swims with its mouth
open which shoots a jet of water over its grills from which it extracts oxygen.
Because of this system, it must remain swimming and can never stand still. The
constant physical action also creates an enormous demand for energy, and a need
to eat large quantities of food. A typical tuna, which grows very large, may eat one-
quarter of its weight in food in one day.

In general Santos City, the record weight for a whole tuna was 250 kilos,
which is equivalent to five bags of rice. Tuna is a good source of protein, vitamins,
mineral, and it is also known to be rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Research shows that
Omega-3 fatty acids can help lower the risk of heart disease, improve immune and
inflammatory conditions, ease the pain of arthritis, reduce the risk of certain
cancers, and help lower blood pressure and cholesterol.

A smart phone is a mobile phone with built-in computer system that

can send emails, view websites, or download applications. The first use of the
term smart phone was in 1997, when Ericson described its GS 88 as a “smart
CAUSE AND EFFECT
Dropping Out
For many teenagers, there are numerous negative factors that can lead them
to give up on their education and drop out of school. The first cause is that many
teenagers lack positive role models in their lives. The lack of an encouraging adult in
their lives can cause them to think negatively about themselves and it does not
allow them to live up to their full potential. Also, the lack of a positive role model can
cause them to get involved with the wrong kind of people and activities. When
students get involved in these types of negative situations, they usually don't focus
on school. This can lead many impressionable young children to give up on their
education. Another factor that cause a student to give up on school is a lack of

PROBLEM AND SOLUTION

Teenage Vaping
It's no secret that vaping and juuling is growing in popularity across the nation and
world. Kids and teenagers are exposed to these dangerous e-cigarettes at a young
age, and an alarming percentage of students have vaped. Young person quickly
become addicted to the chemicals in the liquids used in vaping, and in some
unfortunate cases, some adolescents have died as a direct result of vaping.
To solve this growing issue, students and parents must first be educated on the
negative health effects. One answer is for schools to hold assemblies or prevention
programs that discuss the short-term and long-term health risks of vaping and e-
cigarettes. It would also be a good idea to invite parents to this school-wide
assembly so that they are also aware of the risks. Students need to understand the
COMPARE AND CONTRAST
Books Vs Television
Books were first medium to give people information on printed page, then
Scottish man John Logie Beird transmitted first pictures on 25th October 1925 and
television was born. For most people watching television is better than reading
books. Television is very popular medium. Part of reason for its popularity is number
of television channels, which people can easily choose via their remote control.
Another reason that people watch television is to relax. In fact, television is so
popular that it has become part of our everyday routine. Books are very valuable
source of information. There are many more books available than television
channels. Secondly, reader can choose book and part of book that they want to
read. And thirdly speed readers can read faster than they get information from
television program. Books and television can be found nearly everywhere on planet.
Books are cheap to produce and for popular subjects are cheap to buy. Books are
also highly portable and can be read nearly anywhere. However, televisions are
installed in nearly every household and only needs to be switched on to provide new
entertainment and information. Both books and televisions are great sources of
information and entertainment, but television is very relaxing with sound and
moving images and is therefore better medium.

ENUMERATION
Traffic During Rush Hour
When traffic is jammed and no one is moving, it’s easy to get a close-up view of
several different types of vehicles. For instance, you’ll see eco-friendly cars are on
the roads. Characteristics of an eco-friendly car include hybrids and electrics. The
electric cars sometimes don’t sound like a vehicle at all. They simply hum down the
road. The hybrids sound like a regular car but look like a smaller version of one. In
addition to the eco-friendly cars, there are multiple mini-vans. Mini-vans consist of a
more roomy ride for multiple passengers as well as a higher vantage point for the
driver. Luxury cars make up a minority of the vehicles on the road. Their shiny
outward look matches the custom accents that mark the interior.
Classification
CLASSIFICATION
According to economists, there are four different types of unemployment,
each with its own specific cause. The first type of unemployment is seasonal.
Workers in certain industries—such as agriculture, resorts and retail—are subject to
fluctuating demands for their services because of peak and off-peak times in these
industries. This type of unemployment is regular, predictable, and relatively short-
term. The second type of unemployment is referred to as frictional. It is caused by
school and college graduates seeking jobs for the first time and by workers changing
jobs. These people usually remain unemployed for just a short time while they seek
a position. A third type of unemployment is structural, caused, for example, by the
use of new machinery, such as robots, that can perform simple repetitive tasks.
Workers displaced by structural changes often experience long-term unemployment
while seeking a job that matches their skills and salary expectations. The last type of
unemployment is cyclical. This kind is produced by the overall business cycle.
Cyclical unemployment increases in recessions; it decreases during growth periods.

THESIS -EVIDENCE
All over the world, the chances of success in school and in life depend more
on family circumstances than any other factor. By age three, kids with professional
parents are already a full year ahead, of their poorer peers. They know twice as
many words and score 40 points higher on IQ tests. By age 10, the gap is three
years. By then, some poor children have not mastered basic reading and math skills,
and many never will: this is the age at which failure starts to become irreversible.
