Answer : The group that I belong to is my club, the Youth for Environment in Schools Organization They influence me as a student by making me more responsible. Being a president and all, I am tasked with a lot of things. With this, I need to get my act together to accomplish all these tasks. I must also take initiative in order to be a role model or set an inspiring example for the others. Moreover, this club enabled me to be more sociable and accommodating in order to have a more comfortable and open communication with every member. It is also important to do so to maximize efficiency and build a welcome environment for everyone. I influence them by being a role model or an inspiring example.

Week 7: Discussion#4

1.  Pretend that you belong to a particular in-group in your class. You noticed that  one classmate from your class does not belong to any group. What would you do?  Would you invite him to join your in-group? Why? Why not? The in-group is not owned by any individual member or participant of the said group. It is formed through the collective understanding of each individual participant for one another and it is further strengthened by common interests.  With this, I would try to personally reach out to them to assess if they would be willing to join our in-group and if they share some common interests with the group. However, the decision is not up to myself alone but the collective decision of the group. Nevertheless, even if they decline, I would still be willing to be friends with them as long as he/she is a respectable person. 2.  The Sangguniang Kabataan of your barangay approached your group in school to  help them in the feeding program of the commu...

Week 1: Discussion#1

QUESTIONS: Looking into the PHILIPPINE situation and context, as the coronavirus is mutating:   1. What can you say about the government’s initiative in addressing the  COVID 19 Pandemic? How do you feel about it? Prevention is better than cure. With this, I feel disappointed since the government could have done more to prevent and address public health emergencies. They could have implemented preventive measures even before the current pandemic. An example of which is the Senate Bill no. 1573 Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act filed by the late Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago eight years ago. This would have been significantly useful at a time like this.   2. What can you do as a student to help solve the pandemic and current crisis it caused in our country, the Philippines?
