Social Problem

CHAPTER VI: CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY OF VALUES OF FAITH, LOVE AND JUSTICE "MY STAND ON There are many problems right now in the society. Some of these problems can be easily solved, or can be impossible to solve depending how bad it is. Many people think these problems should be solved by the governments, since they are in charge. But we can also solve these problems if we get together. Not all the problems, but some that can be solved. I think the three major problems in the society today are: unemployment, violence, and pollution, bullying, RH bill, poverty, pre-marital sex, injustice and abortion.

This chapter is about my stand and thoughts about my societys problem. The first problem in the society right now is unemployment. Many people today are either unemployed or underemployed. Some of these people Just stay home and collect their welfare check every month, when they should go out and at least try to get a Job. If there are more people like this, the country would be poor and therefore the government would have to collect more taxes. Also the standard of living would decrease because of their income that is way below the average income.

Right now, there is also a big gap between the low income people and the high income people nd this is becoming a problem. Low income people are starting to get lower wages and higher income people are starting to get higher wages. I think the main problem is Filipino people have a high standards in terms of hiring people and many of us who are unemployed want to have a instant high salary we should also endure hardship if we want to be a successful man or woman.

The government should also do a move regarding in this problem because nowadays it seems like the government is not responding to people''s need they only respond in what they need. As we live in the modern world with lots of technology surrounds us we ometimes to forget to care our mother nature. Today there are lots of sickness that attack us even though we people have a cure for it, many of us still dies in a particular sickness, it''s because of our surroundings that make us even sicker especially in here, in the Philippines. If you look around you''ll see a garbage everywhere, a dirty rivers and lakes, and a pollute air.

I know that there are lots of groups that are protecting our mother nature but we should not defend on them because it''s not enough, I think we Filipinos don''t have a discipline because we spit verywhere, throw garbage everywhere and urinate in the dark sides of the streets. The government should pass a harsh law regarding on littering and hygiene of the country. People should not also blame the government for not cleaning the dirty river and should not rely on the street sweeper in the morning instead Filipino people should make a move to clean our rivers, seas, streets and surrounding. Here in the Philippines RH bill is a hot topic.

It seems like the church and the government does not get along very well, this is the main reason why we Filipinos does not prosper. People are either anti or pro RH bill. In my own perception RH bill somehow prevent teen pregnancy because of the sex education of the bill although, I think many people will abuse this law. RH bill will also lessen poverty because many families will be encourage to undergo family planning because there are lot of people in our community are not aware of the responsibility they have to take when they have sex they Just think of the pleasure but not the responsibility.

I know that abortion is together with RH bill but it will somehow lessen it by using contraceptives. There are many elements that can affect RH bill but it will somehow lessen crime. Because many of the crime is committed due to poverty and many parents has a lot of children to support so what they do they steal so that they can give their children their necessity and also it will lessen the squatters because of the good family planning, our taxes will be used and it will lessen the corruption.

RH bill can also lessen the children who are working because family planning will do the Job if the family is wise enough to know their responsibilities chances are they will have a good life. There are also some of Filipinos that cannot be broken which is practicing the xtended family culture that could best be describe as a couple having 10 and more child living in a house with some of their relatives. Having a lot of off springs is not prohibited, unless the family can supply their needs.

One of the reasons why our countrymen stil has not experience the intended benefites of this bill is the continuing the campaign of the Catholic Church to discredit it. According to them, the promotion of artificial contraceptives and sex education will eventually lead to threatening accounts of divorce, abortion, total contraception methods and homosexual marriage. In my opinion there is nothing bad in having a homosexual marriage because for me gay and lesbian people are also a people who have the right to be loved and in loved, they also have the right to choose what is good or bad.

In fact homosexual and bisexual people are much kind than normal people they have a kindness in their heart, they are also a Joyful person and a very hardworking one.. Even though gay and lesbian people are not mentioned in the bible they are still the work of God. The church should not question or criticize the gays and lesbian because they are also a human who is living and loving. The church should be the role model in good moral act but it seems that they treat themselves as gods, they criticized the homosexual people, abolished or prevent them for getting married are they gods to Judge them.

If the world is Just full of love, it will be a better world than our world today. People today are Judgmental especially some people on the church. There are lots of people who are going to church Just to ask God to give them money but they do not ask God for forgiveness. Everyone in the Philippines seems to know Napoles that one who is very famous for the pork barrel thing. There''s been a lot of anger expressed regarding Janet Näpoles, her daughter Jeane, their lavish lifestyles, and the Pork Barrel scam that funded it all.

Everyone seems to be screaming about the need to abolish the Pork Barrel, All this time, we were expecting that the funds in pork barrel would help the people who are in need of assistance. If there are calamities, war or development for the community, pork barrel supports the needs for those who are affected. This is the main duty or purpose of PDAF but unfortunately, it was corrupted and manipulated. In my own opinion if Napoles will be Jailed nothing will happened but if the sed in constructing new schools and hospital especially in faraway places.

Teasing, fighting, confrontations are all part and parcel of growing years. The situation gets tedious when it takes an ugly turn. Like tormenting, abusing verbally or intentionally trying to threaten the younger or the weaker child. It is called as bullying if repeated over and again with an intention to hurt. It can be verbal, physical or psychological in nature. It can range from calling names to spreading rumors or even extorting money or other treasured possessions. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

That''s the Golden Rule and it should be followed in every aspect of your life. If someone was in a position to stop you from being bullied and did nothing, how would you feel? If you find that unacceptable, you must do everything you can to stop others from hurting people. A bully tries to attract the attention of others in a negative manner. It can be correlated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Similarly children coming from aggressive or disturbed family background showcase the bullying behavior. Sometimes bullies Just gives around what they have been through as retaliation.

The affected child is most of the times submissive and docile in nature. I myself have already experienced bullying both physical and verbal I know that I cannot stop bullying but I can lessen it by staying away from people who are bullying you. Many people nowadays are very Judgmental, in every move you make you cannot escape their fiery eye, their big mouths and their nasty look. The government should do something about it. And we people of our community should also do a move and make a change. Parents should become stricter to their parents especially if their child is a bully.

Student also should learn to espect their classmates and every people. For me respect is also a key in having a prosperous life but many people doesn''t have it especially boys. Premarital sex is a huge problem in society today. People everywhere are not waiting until they get married to have sex. People having sex today are not aware of the consequences that come with having sex. They Just think it is fun. Some people tend to have a lot of sex. They say they do it for the satisfaction. They believe sex is fun. It is perceived to be a great thing from the time one is young.

Going to elementary school kids always talked about the day they were going to have sex. They looked forward to it. Where they got the idea that sex was such a great thing is a question that one must ask? The movies, maybe. The magazines that one sees when digging through the drawers of an older brother, uncle or ones father. Sex is all over society. You cannot watch cable television without seeing people kissing intimately, or even having sex. Just because cable does not show full nudity does not make it any better to let an eight year old child watch a television show full of sex.

I believed that the government should be stricter in selling pornographic magazines and prohibiting hildren to watch an explicit movies or television show. Parents also should educate the children about sex if RH bill is not implemented. Now that the reasons people are having sex has been somewhat discussed and is out of the way, let us discuss the consequences that come with having sex, such as A. I. D. S. This is a deadly virus that kills ones immune system. A person never dies from the actual virus. They die from the diseases that they would not have otherwise contracted if they still had a strong immune system.

The immune system doesn''t die slowly either it take at least five cold if they have contracted the A. I. D. S virus. The cold start of as a normal one does but it Just keeps getting worse and worse. People suffer before they die from this disease. This disease has been responsible for killing millions of people. Pre- marital sex has a lot of consequences and before you do it think about the responsibilities and future that you are going to face In todays world there are lot of people dying in other countries especially Filipino because of the death penalty of the other country especially Saudi Arabia.

There is no question that killing another person is the most heinous crime that one can ommit. I am not sure why, but it seems that our government is being hypocritical when it states that capital punishment is allowable because, after all, the criminal did murder an innocent victim, and therefore should be killed. This is known as the "eye- for-an-eye, and tooth-for-a- tooth theory. " Of course, if we used this system all the time, there would be no need for laws. If someone hits me, I would hit him/her back. How simple, we can all be primitive again.

A second argument that some people use to support capital punishment is that the fear of being given the death penalty is oing to stop criminals from murdering. How many criminals would murder in the first place, even in a state where there is no capital punishment, if they thought there was a chance of getting caught? Most murderers feel that they have a fool-proof plan to get away with murder. Unfortunately, most are right. The Philippines should also abide this law so that our country men will be discipline.

For me the reason why our country does not prosper because of the lack of discipline of the Filipino people. There are lots of murderer and drug mule in this country because the criminals knew hat the law here in the Philippines is Just nothing. People around the globe have been suffering the injustice; a disease that kills values, injures dignity and leads some people to revenge, preferring death to life. Injustice affects individuals as well as societies and the whole world. It is a disease created by human to dehumanize human.

Feeling of injustice ruins the peaceful life of every single person. Individuals sense the injustice in daily life, in things like the freedom of speech, when someone is deprived of their right to say their point of view, they feel oppressed and unwanted. This is much more offensive when the whole community is deprived the right of saying what they believe in and it becomes worse when they are told their mother tongue is unable to express things clearly . lt seems like here in the Philippines there is no word for Justice. If the rich ones will murder money will cover it up.

Here in the Philippines money can buy all things even Justice. We cannot stop injustice but we can somehow prevent it by being honest to what we committed and also police should not accept money. If we people have a care to each other injustice will be banished. IVe always wanted to live a Just life; in a society where everyone''s equal, where the law reigns supreme, where the government official does not corrupt its own people, where the government and the church have a unity and all people have loved and care for each other.

But I was born into this society, breathing highly polluted air, eating food that could kill you at any time, watching the govement officials steal our money, where injustice is highly chronic, where the people are very Judgmental and greedy. I hope someday things will change people will loved each other, everyone will be equal, Justice will prevail and fficials are honest and do real work, where the businessmen run their businesses conscientiously, where the housing prices are not so ridiculously high, and where the people live in happiness and contentment.

Through common human nature, we have isolated ourselves from the meaning of common dignity. People are always looking for excuses, ways of making themselves look and feel more important. They have created classes and look down on people that are not like them. Racism is something we''ve all witnessed. Many people fail to believe that race isn''t a biological category, ut an artificial classification of people with no scientifically variable facts. In other words, the distinction we make between races has nothing to do with genetics.

It seems that is racism has been around so long we would have been able to overcome it as our species developed, but contact with those of whom we are afraid of often lead to disputes, which, in time, is what caused racism to transform from people simply disliking each other, to the permanent and indestructible foundation of common racism and prejudice. Here in the Philippines some of us are racist but any of us are being Judge to what we are, it is because of our looks, problems in society, our economy that is why we are Judged by other people.

People like Spanish have a very low looks on us because for them we are Just their slave. Many people think that we Filipinos are dumb that is why our nation is not progressing, we cannot stop racism but we can prevent it by starting on ourselves, we should not Judge other people on how they look or move how their attitude is instead we should respect them on how they want to live their own lives. Poverty is one of the biggest problems we are dealing with in our world.

What is poverty you might ask, well poverty is the state or condition of having little or no money, goods, or means of support. My question is why is poverty a problem? If the world banded together there would be no task we could not accomplish; but that''s just it we are divided nations living on one world. We should have a unity if we want to banish poverty. Poverty is present in most, if not all nations, and the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. The people with power usually become the richest ones, and with the help of bad government policies, the gap gets even bigger.
