We Can Make Differences

           

           Changes in some things are visibly seen by its physical changes. It so happen that we are trapped in this typical world where changes are likely to happen and change in the heart of a person is rare.

            Let’s start from the bottom which is me, myself. I am proud to say that I’m very much satisfied to what God has given me with my physical features. For God doesn’t have the time to make mistakes and I am born the best way He thinks. But when it comes to personality, I just want to bring out the real me. I just want to be that person who can make changes not only in our society but in the world. Well, I guess that is not so easy to do but I believe that I can start in my own little ways.

            As a student, I can do many things already that can make changes in our school and community. I have learned to fight for my rights. I am not afraid to what I am doing if it is the right thing to do. There is nothing to be ashamed of doing things which we think is right. I have done my all to prove myself. I have already experienced many things and applied them to get on top. But, I do accept that some people are really much better than me. I believe that the most important thing is that I have done my best.

            For our country, I can do things also. Joining national projects is just one way to help the country. Each thing we do have a cause and one is to help make the change for the better. As a citizen, I can do change also by having discipline in myself and by obeying all the laws of the republic.

            I do believe in the saying that actions speak louder than words. So I will do my best to do what has been written to this article I have done to prove that not only I can make differences but all of us. Those are just some differences I can do by myself and if we are to work together as a team, the more differences and changes we can do for progress. Let us all bear in mind that changes starts on us.

Equality Please!

           It is a fact indeed that men are physically stronger than those of women but can we say that one is really better than the other? Many years ago, women are being ruled by men but as time goes by, women learned how to pushed for equality within the sexes and finally proved there abilities and skills in man’s field. But still, argumentations arise because of that discrimination in our society.

Well, both men and women have equal rights to everything, God created them at the same time but are different in small ways and doesn’t mean that man is much powerful than women. Having equal rights should also have equal opportunities that should be enjoyed by everybody. Fairness is what women are craving for.

            Discrimination in our society should and must be one of the main concerns of our powerful leaders which should be acted upon. As a result of this problem, the Philippines never move higher for the economic progress for they believe that men do really work much better than women and this belief is very wrong.

            It is never too late to fight for our rights and to prove others wrong. To work together as one, disregard the belief that men are better than women. Let us all open our minds in the reality that both are given equal rights and should also be given equal opportunities to achieve progress together so that Philippines will never be at the bottom.

            We must not continue to this kind of faith we have for nothing will happen if equal rights and equal opportunities are given to both men and women of the country. Soon enough, progress will conquer the whole Philippines but also in humanity.

            Equal rights and equal opportunities be given to have progress for all!

Climate Change

Global Warming or Climate Change, measurable increases in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and landmasses. Scientists believe Earth is currently facing a period of rapid warming brought on by rising levels of heat-trapping gases, known as greenhouse gases, in the atmosphere.

Earth has warmed and cooled many times since its formation about 4.6 billion years ago. Global climate changes were due to many factors, including massive volcanic eruptions, which increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; changes in the intensity of energy emitted by the Sun; and variations in Earth’s position relative to the Sun, both in its orbit and in the inclination of its spin axis.

Scientists project global warming to continue at a rate that is unprecedented in hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of Earth’s history. They predict considerably more warming in the 21st century, depending on the level of future greenhouse gas emissions. For a scenario (possible situation) assuming higher emissions—in which emissions continue to increase significantly during the century—scientists project further warming of 2.4 to 6.4 Celsius degrees (4.3 to 11.5 Fahrenheit degrees) by the year 2100. For a scenario assuming lower emissions—in which emissions grow slowly, peak around the year 2050, and then fall—scientists project further warming of 1.1 to 2.9 Celsius degrees (1.9 to 5.2 Fahrenheit degrees) by the year 2100.

Melting polar ice and glaciers, as well as warming of the oceans, expands ocean volume and raises sea level, which will eventually flood some coastal regions and even entire islands. Patterns of rainfall are expected to change, with higher latitudes (closer to the poles) projected to receive more rainfall, and subtropical areas (such as the Mediterranean and southern Africa) projected to receive considerably less. Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns may damage food crops, disrupting food production in some parts of the world. Plant and animal species will shift their ranges toward the poles or to higher elevations seeking cooler temperatures, and species that cannot do so may become extinct. Increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere also leads to increased ocean acidity, damaging ocean ecosystems.

Human beings face global warming with a huge population at risk. The potential consequences are so great that many of the world’s leading scientists—and increasingly, politicians, business leaders, and other citizens—are calling for international cooperation and immediate action to counteract the problem.

Responding to the challenge of controlling global warming will require fundamental changes in energy production, transportation, industry, government policies, and development strategies around the world. These changes take time. The challenge today is managing the impacts that cannot be avoided while taking steps to prevent more severe impacts in the future.
