TROJAN WAR

For me i learned that through war there is no winner, a war is a battle between to side fighting for one goal and for me a war doesn't mean that there is a winner because through the process there will always be a loss in each sides.

The Trojan war, Due to a great lack of evidence even to prove that Hisarlik is the real Troy, the question of whether or not the Trojan War really took place remains unanswered. However, given that The Iliad is a work of fiction that was passed down orally for centuries before it was written down, archaeologists are hesitant to conclude that such an event took place. However, most agree that there is a high degree of likelihood that The Iliad and The Odyssey were at the very least inspired by a large scale military excursion that occurred some time in the late Bronze Age.

The study of the Trojan war helped me and gave me a lesson that we should be careful on who we betray because it can be the reason to a war that we don't want to happen. 

So i conclude that if the Trojan war did really happen or not, It was a great story that may have given a lot of people lessons to life and that it was a work of an masterpiece.

DESIDERATA

                          


                            

                    My happiness for me is my family and friends because for me they are the one that makes me strong and they are the one who made me as who i am today, i'm thankful for them because they are always there for me when Im sad and when i'm happy and that's why they are my happiness.


"enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. keep interested in your own career however be humble;

                 this is the lesson that we all need to learn because now in this generation many are always boasting about they're success but they forget about where they came from and that's the worst thing. for me i just want that all of us should be humble and let the success speak for itself because nothing would stay forever. that's why we should be humble.

                 I conclude that this poem could help a lot of people to understand how our life would go on and so that we could know our limits and so that we could discipline ourselves, thats all thank you.

Ecuador's Earthquake Preparedness Plan

Ecuador is a country located in the northwest part of South America and is one of the earthquake-prone countries in the world. The country sits on the edge of the South American Plate, beside with the Nazca Plate, which results in strong earthquakes in the country. Both plates converge with each other, resulting to the subduction of the Nazca Plate with the South American Plate. Ecuador’s infrastructures are usually built on soft soil, specifically alluvium.Alluvium soils are loose and incompact accumulation of sands, silts, clays, or gravels deposited in rivers. Many cities in Ecuador are built on soft soils because these are flat and easy to build. The country also suffers from soil liquefaction, where the soil turns into liquid in response to an earthquake’s sudden movement. With the type of soil Ecuador is built on, it would experience stronger shaking and more damage. The materials used in Ecuador’s infrastructures also have been of poor quality. They are built with unstable materials such as masonry infill walls and flexible reinforced concrete. With more and more people living in slums, it could be a higher risk since people do not have enough money to afford durable and long-lasting materials for their houses. But after the 7.8 Earthquake in Ecuador in 2016, people were appreciating bamboo as it was able to withstand earthquakes and they have realized it after they have seen houses built on bamboo unaffected in the earthquake. They would put a concrete foundation and put the bamboo as its pillars. They also have mixed modern construction materials to assure its durability. Ecuador also established the Earthquake Safety Advisory Board, which is used to monitor and update earthquake risks in the country. The Quito School Earthquake Safety Project was also created to evaluate the building of the schools if it is safe or not. This effects to the improvement of the building so that there will be lesser risk and they would be able to impose safety school measures. In earthquake preparedness, improvement must be made. Some provinces in Ecuador are accustomed to small tremors and the people were not prepared on what to do during an earthquake. Due to these, when powerful earthquakes would strike, this would send people in immediate panic, for they did not know how to deal with it. With weak construction and no awareness, it will produce vast amounts of damage in infrastructures and casualties. In a 2010 poll by El Universo newspaper, 85% of respondents in the cities of Quito and Guayaquil, Ecuador’s main cities stated they were uninformed about instructions on what to do during emergencies, and 40% were completely unaware of what to do during earthquakes. Ecuador’s Red Cross also had helped raise awareness about these, but it was not enough because they do not have enough capacity to train people.

     With this information, Ecuador is alarmingly unprepared for another massive earthquake –from the building structure to the awareness of the citizens. They often do drills every year, but it failed to be maintained properly. As stated, the buildings are mostly made of unsafe materials that can be destroyed quickly. But after the 2016 earthquake, it has been an eye-opener to the citizens and government of Ecuador. Even though with these problems yet to be fixed, the citizens of Ecuador have also used their innovativeness to use bamboo as the foundation of their buildings and it is fascinating that albeit the impacts and effects of the 2016 earthquake, their resourcefulness was greatly used so that certain effects and destruction would not happen again.

In comparison, the Philippines established the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council to ensure the protection of the people during an earthquake or calamity. They are also responsible for holding earthquake drills regularly in schools and buildings four times per year to boost preparedness in people. The government also implemented strong building codes that fit the standard to withstand an 8.4 earthquake. In Ecuador, they have the National Secretariat for Risk Management (SNGR) to also ensure and monitor the citizen's safety. They also have emergency services to respond like the Ecuadorian Red Cross and ECU 911. They also do often hold earthquake drills. The raising of awareness in the country is poorly implemented, therefore making the citizens unprepared during an earthquake. But, they have emergency services to respond immediately to the victims to rescue quickly. As stated earlier, they have established the Earthquake Safety Advisory Board to ensure the safety of the people and buildings. During 2016, Ecuador also has included bamboo on its National Construction Code, making it the standard when people need to construct buildings. 

To conclude, Ecuador is somehow unprepared to these calamities due to unawareness of what to do during earthquakes. The Ecuadorian government should have clearer plans to raise awareness properly so that people would not panic. Ecuador is susceptible to earthquakes and it would need more preparation for the people and proper check-up of the buildings. These major earthquakes are signs that the government and the people should work together so that they can be able to reduce casualties. Earthquake preparedness is necessary because if people do not know any of these, it will be a great risk. If Ecuador would improve in terms of earthquake preparedness and building stability, then it would be a great benefit when another massive earthquake would strike anytime soon.

GONO AND KOYO: A Reflection on Society

                         THE STORY OF GONO AND KOYO

INTRODUCTION:

The story of Gono and Koyo is about a story of two brothers... in this story i just wanted to clarify things in the story like their tradition or about the old hadji and does it really exist through the counting days...

in my research i will be adding some photos about their traditon and other more stuffs...

BODY:

In this story there is not a lot of things to be talking but... First lets start with the old hadji 

this is what i found on google..hadji is about a rich man.now lets move on about why the two brothers picked to steal in the hadji.. in my research i discovered that they tried to steal there cause they knew it was a wealthy and rich man.

Next ill be talking about why the two brothers to swim in the dried riverbed but to think it was clearly state that they did it in purpose to capture the people to laugh at them and stop chasing them.. They did a great scene but they knew they still have something to deal with cause they made something bad..   Here is a picture of a dry riverbed

this was what they tried to swim... -_-

CONLUSION:

I conclude that in the story it was about two brothers who was trying to steal a hadji and got caught thats why they tried to change the reaction of the people on swimming in a dried riverbed. But they still knew theyre gonna get punished for what they did.
