Geniuses, extreme intelligent people. If a person with a IQ of 180 and above is considered as a genius.

Technology is in everyday living. Things are easier with technology. From sunrise to sunset, the products of technology are in present. On the other hand, values are not always in everyday living buy only few does. Is technology changing our values system?
Technology defined in the dictionary as an applied science. Technology on media is a huge factor.
Almost on every home, their are televisions, radio, and cellphones where media is exposed to every member. In media, things seen or heard are not always giving good traits. That's why media is really a great factor of changing our value system.
Value system is our country's traits, manner,and attitude of giving the old ones our respect. Nowadays, this value system is kept and left unused and starting to decay. Such thing as " Mano Po " , " Salamat Po " and just even " salamat " are rarely spoken but only few of those young ones.
Now, when will we regenerate our countries value system? Can we make it above the power of technology?
Maybe some of the mob would like to have their clones. Then, what would be their uses? What are their harms?
This cloning idea is invented by scientist. These could be use for organ donations and many other more. This clones dramatically increase the world's population. Plus, obviously, the church is against this cloning thing and they agree in its results and ways, because cloning is over the boundary of true life. The church believes that the only superior being, Jesus Christ has the only right to control life.
Cloning is possible in the future. Because of technology the boundary of real life is intruded. For the sick ones, cloning would be too helpful for them. As easy as replacing the damaged organ, which are done by them, to the healthy organ of your clone. Would it be fair? And for the criminal's percent of the mob, it would be easy for them to commit crime then accuse their clone. Again, would it be fair enough? For the celebrity persons, if they have clones, which one would you be a fan of? Who is better among them? Would it be fair? And if it is, we could have a better clone of Micheal Jackson. Would it be fair for him? Still, different types of opinions are given by also different kinds of people.
Clones, who owns them?
A pollster stated that it would be almost impossible for President Benigno Aquino III to maintain his high trust rating after Manila hostage taking. Pulse Asia President Professor Ronnie Holmes expects that the rating of the President will drop, due to the effect of the hostage crisis, after just two months in the office.
Holmes stressed the actions the President takes, after the fact-finding committee task to look into the country's dilemma come out with it's results, will help determine public trust in his leadership.
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
-Mahatma GandhiI really believe in Mahatma. With this statement, humility is most up to. I like the idea that even though people are bringing you down it still project that in the end you will win. Winning that is a fruit of goodness and humbleness and not by pride and rudeness. I still hope that someday, the world will be filled with the spirit of humility and not pride. For I also do believe that with humility we could heal the world and by pride we could tear the world. Though this things are less possible.
"The Carpenter's Gift"
I can really relate my ways of solving arguments in the story "The Carpenter's Gift". In the story, older brother wanted to build a fence as a response to the conflict. Well I won't do the same thing. Because if I am in his place, I would rather supply the materials to build a bridge as if I am the one who takes the first action to reconcile and let the opposing party do the next step.
Though I don't do this manner in every conflict in my life but I am certain that this is my usual reply to any misunderstanding.
There was one instance in my life where my younger brother and I had a disagreement that lead to a strife. And none of our suggestions was a solution. Then maybe we both realized we are both wrong. So then I started the conversation with peaceful tone which made him calm. Finally, the problem is solved.
Even you act positively on the conflict it would somehow depend on the other hand. For things are not always in common and patterns of life has no definition. All problems has it's own kind of answer.
"Life is patternless because if it does, it would be meaningless".
Reading was not really fun for me.If I am not force to read maybe i won't dare. I am more interested in listening. But somehow as I grow old I consider reading really as necessity. By reading I acquire more knowledge and benefits.
At first I found the text too long to read. When I looked at the text, really felt that i don't want to dare to start reading because I may have a headache. And there are also words that I can't understand well so I used the dictionary. But as I go through the text, I felt like I am the geologist or the explorer. Then I begin to feel interested about the text.
Reading the text is like traveling at Mt. Apo. I also learned many things about it. It was amazing. I could also share those to others. Mt. Apo is really a treasure. I was stunned by the cultured practiced by the tribe of Bagobos. Though is was too strange, it still has a grandiosity and uniqueness. Mt. Apo is indeed a hoarded wealth of Philippine culture.
