My perspective about Oedipus Rex

My own perspective about Oedipus Rex is that many factors affect the outcome of something, one after another.It turns into a chain reaction, If something bad happens to you then you add another bad thing to it, it will worsen. His father, did something bad to someone and he is cursed and doomed to him. Now, he will escape the oncoming curse by killing his own son.

interference of gods and goddesses to the lives of mortals

Since gods and goddesses are capable of malevolence and benevolence, they tend to interfere w/ the personal life of people. They make the people fight battles against their enemies, They mingle w/ them and they even have offsprings w/ humans that turned out to be "Demi-gods", half-human, half-god. They can do anything to the humans whether they did something good or bad or they did none. No wonder that they can't establish better relationships w/ the humans because the gods will do whatever they want, whenever they want no matter what the matter is.

The discrimination of the nazis against the jewish people

During world war II, Adolf Hitler and the nazis declared a massive killing and discrimination of jews, He calls it as '' the final solution''. They began to hunt down all the jews all over Europe. They promoted discrimination and hatred of jews. The jews were forced to were yellow stars of David to identify them. All the Germans and the non-jews followed what the nazis want: They reported the jews who were in hiding, they broke in jewish shops and they gave the jews harsh treatment. The Nazis taught of the jewish people as "parasites". they taught of them as a threat to their society. Jews were sent to concentration camps to do forced labor. They were to die in the concentration camps either by exaustion or sickness. The ones that survived were sent to gas chambers to be executed. How can this genocide of jewish people happen? The holocaust is not a solution and did not solve anything! It brought scare, lost lives, broken homes, orphaned children, traumatized victims, discriminated people. The taught of killing the jewish race for no reasonable cost is just a state of mind, a disturbance in the mind and part of the nazi's imagination. What kind of strong influence have caused this to happen? The devil whispered to Adolf hitler to this holocaust. You don't believe? The swastika symbol and his suicide is enough proof.

The teachings of confucianism

The teachings of confucianism are moral, ethical, social, philosophical and political that it still continued to influence and spread not only in China, but in other countries as well.
Confucianism taught about the famous golden rule:'' Do unto others what you want them to do for you.'' It considered the family as the basic unit of the society. It also taught about the 5 relationships namely, ruler and subject, parents and children, husband and wife, elder brother and younger brother and friend to friend. These relationships promote order in society and family. Confucius also taught that the confucian gentleman is made and not born. He also taught of moderation and the standard of a ruler.

The teachings of Taoism

Founded by Lao Zi, the teachings of Taoism(pronounced as daoism) is to be like a hermit and go back w/ nature. He also founded the philosophical movement of Tao Te Ching (pronounced as Dao De Ching)which means ''Book of the way and its power'' According to him, the true way to happiness is abandoning the world and living a simply and lone life w/ nature. He believes that there is no peace in the society if the ruler doesn't abide w/ the law of nature.
Taoism goes w/ the flow of nature. They don't complain with the weather, whether it's hot or cold, dry or wet, rain or shine. Unlike us Filipinos, who complain suddenly in a sudden change of weather. They just go and let nature decide their fate.

How the caste system evolve? is is democratic or not?

The caste system evolved from a social classification/stratification to keep peace and order in the society into a racial and social discrimination. I think it's not democratic because They based on culture and belief. The social class will be inherited by their offspring and there is no possibility for them to go higher in class. Their social classification will be permanent and only karma (as they say it) will declare a person's class. Special treatments, rights , freebies and privileges were exclusive to those of high class.
It is very unjust and unfair, it is better to have a conspicuous social stratification than to have the caste system of India.

advantages and disadvantages of social stratification in ancient egypt

There are advantages and disadvantages of social stratification in ancient Egypt. Social stratification refers to the hierarchical arrangement of individuals into dimensions of power and wealth w/in a society. The advantage of the social stratification is that there is organization and order in the people. For Max Weber, social class pertaining broadly to material wealth is distinguished from status class based on honor, prestige, religious affiliation and so on. Ancient Egypt's kingdom is powerful and stable because of the order brought by the social stratification. The Pharaoh had great power because of the relations established w/ people w/ high social class. With social stratification, there is class, status and power. class- is a person's economic position in the society. The economic growth of ancient Egypt are on the people w/ high social class, status- is a person's prestige,

social honor or popularity in a society. Though they have economic worth, a person status could cause influences to other people in the society. respect and reputation could be earned w/ status, Power- a person's ability to get their way despite the resistance of others. People could implement rules or laws w/ power. commands and requests could be made w/ power. The disadvantages of Social stratification is that in spite of it's good benefits, there is inequality and abuse to the people who belongs to the lower social class. Some tasks are done w/ forced labor such as building a pyramid, w/c is a large structure that only serves as a royal tomb.

there is an unequal treatment between the high and low class.

bloggin' 'bout d rain (again!!!!)

I forgot what to blog from d assignment/project so, I'll blog about the rain (again). The weather is very tricky and playful. This afternoon, I accompanied my grandma to visiting my deceased grandpa at Forest park cemetery. It was very hot that time and I sweated a lot! After that, I went out to go to the computer shop (to blog this). I know that the rain is very tricky and playful so I brought my umbrella. I thought that it won't rained that hard but it did! Even I have an umbrella, I didn't manage not to get wet. raining hard, flooding, wet clothes and rushing to the computer shop.
It was so hot, then so cold. Very confusing and disturbing!!!!!!!!!!

Tell me your friends and i will tell you who you are

Friendship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Value that is found in frien

dships is often the result of a friend

demonstrating the following on a consistent basis:

• the tendency to desire what is best for the other
• sympathy and empathy
• honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for

• 
  
• others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out

• 
  
• the perceived faults of one's counterpart
• Mutual understanding
• Mutual compassion

In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association, although there is a

range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations. Friendship and association can be thought of as

spanning across the same continuum. The study of friendship is included in sociology, social psychology,

anthropology, philosophy, and zoology. Various theories of friendship have been proposed, among which are

social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles.

Based on Wikipedia, Friends make a great impact in our lives. Our friends are very influential to us. We share secrets

w/ them, We bond w/ them together, We consult to them for advice and sometimes, We even believe their advice

that

those of our parents even the friends advice is not good. Look at the picture, you could see a teenage girl who is

smoking and drinking. she has been influenced by friends to try to drink and smoke. She will later on develop the habit

of drinking and smoking. Her lifestyle was changed by her friends. It just shows that our friends ,could somehow,

predict our future someday. ''birds of the same feather flocks together'' If you want a bad future someday, hang out w/

a bad company. if you want a better and brighter future, hang out w/ the good company. We need to choose the right

friends. I'm not saying that you could only befriend good and nice people, of course we could have an unlimited circle

of friends. We can't avoid making new friends, It is part of our system, It is a social part of us.we just have to be careful

if we get bad influences from them. we could bond w/ them but not when it comes to bad things. We could give them

good influences and we could be the one who changes who they are. We should be careful in our attitude towards

friends and we must choose the right friends because it will deeply affect our life.

me as a campaign manager????

Why did you pick me as campaign manager? They answered: Because your a good speaker and you make people laugh. Their description of campaign manager is very different than the usual campaign manager who really ''manages'' because the goal was only introduce the candidates and add some comedy, Nothing more, nothing less. I wonder why they call it campaign manager, Why not campaign clown or campaign jester????. Their first choice was Allen who disagrees to join although he was perfect for the job. I was surprised that they chose me because For the past 2 school years, I'm just an ordinary student/voter. I listen as they discuss their platforms and I even always jokingly say that I will use their campaign paraphernalia as ''panggatong'' ( maybe that's the reason they chose me, Oh no!!!!!) Oh well! I think I'm still lucky because I was only a campaign manager and not a candidate(Thank you for not nominating me as class officer!). If I was, It would be a big responsibility.

Good luck to the candidates! May you fulfill your platforms and promises and not just collect fines, May you strictly implement the rules and regulations including the officers themselves.

Yesterday was one of the greatest chapter in Philippine history. This is the day that Benigno Simeon Aquino III takes his oath as the 15th president of the republic of the Philippines. This is the day that everyone has been waiting for, A new president to take over the administration.

When he decided to run for president, many candidates decided to give way for him. They knew that he was the most appropriate person to be the president of the Philippines. Everyone is rejoicing when he decided to run, knowing that he is suitable for he is the son of Benigno ''Ninoy'' Aquino Jr. and former president Corazon ''Cory'' Aquino. Everyone had high expectations on him; they know that he will continue the fight of his parents. Even though the public sees him as a suitable person, He still has his own faults and issues. The critics says that he just uses the popularity of her sister, Kris Aquino, as well as the ''Cory magic'' that came from his 2 iconic parents in his campaign. He also received some questions regarding Hacienda Luisita. He was also criticized about not passing any laws in the senate. The most recent criticism he had was about smoking.

Now the wait is over, A new president is taking over, many people are expecting change and reforms to our country. I hope that he remove all the causes of corruption in our country just like what he said in his campaign: ''Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap'' as well as what he said in his speech:''I will forgive those who have sinned against me but I will not forgive those who sinned against the society''.

Let us pray that God will use him mightily in the government. May he always consult the Lord for help and advice to govern our country. Let us pray that God will give everyone a clean heart, no desire of corruption.

It's not yet late 4 father's day right? catch up post 4 father's day

I haven't posted 4 father's day yet! It's not yet late right? I could still see promos for fathers everywhere so I guess I could still catch up.

I want to share w/ you something that we always read in church every father's day. It's about the true strength of a father.

LAKAS NG ISANG AMA

Ang lakas ng isang ama ay hindi sa lapad ng kaniyang mga balikat.

Ito’y nadarama sa higpit ng kaniyang mga yakap.

Ang lakas ng isang ama ay hindi sa lagong at lakas ng kaniyang boses.

Kundi sa marahan niyang tinig.

Ang lakas ng isang ama ay hindi sa dami ng kaniyang mga kabarkada.

Ito’y sa kung paano siya makisama sa kaniyang mga anak.

Ang lakas ng isang ama ay hindi sa kung paano siya tinitingala ng

kaniyang mga ka-opisina. Ito’y sa kung paano siya iginagalang sa tahanan.

Ang lakas ng isang ama ay hindi sa kung gaano siya katindi sumuntok.

Ito’y sa mapagmahal niyang haplos.

Ang lakas ng isang ama ay hindi sa lago ng buhok sa kaniyang dibdib.

Ito’y sa laki ng pusong tinitibok ay pag-ibig.

Ang lakas ng isang ama’y hindi sa bigat ng kaniyang binubuhat.

Ito’y sa mga kabigatang kaya niyang bathin.

Ang lakas ng isang ama ay hindi sa dami ng babaeng kaniyang pina-ibig.

Ito’y kung gaano siya katapat magmahal sa kaniyang natatanging kabiyak.

It shows where the real strength of a father can be found. We usually see the strength of a man but not the strength of a father. You will see the difference between the strength of a man and a father. We could appreciate our dads if we see them as a father, not just a man, but a true man.

Any fool can be a father but it takes a man to be daddy!

no time 4 reading? Can't understand what I'm talking about?

Then just watch the video

The next video is all about a father's love.

A father's love is really amazing! They will do anything for their children whatever it takes and no one can stand in their way.

You could see how Derek's father helped him in times of need, how his father assisted and supported him in the same way that God, our father, sustains and support us.

God sent his only son to die on the cross to save and wash away our sin. before, we are away from God. But now, through the blood of Jesus, We are adopted in God's family. We are reunited w/ our father in heaven.

Happy father's day to all father's especially to God, Our father in heaven, The greatest example of a father.

He is always w/ us, He is our provider, He sustains us in his hand.

God bless you!

I hope the next days would rain not this hard.
