Pope Francis' visit to the Philippines from January 15 to 19, 2015, is the first state and pastoral visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines. Though I’m not a catholic I was deeply affected that he chose the Philippines to be one of the countries he would visit. After going to Sri Lanka he went off to our country riding the plane to Villamor Air Base. A lot of Filipino citizens and media are waiting for the Pope’s arrival at the airport. The streets are filled and surrounded by the people and policemen for security purposes. I was happy to know that the crowd is well coordinated to the government. Even though I was just watching from our television I really got excited to see him because it is a rare opportunity that a Pope from Vatican would go here. When I heard the news that the airplane has landed already I was very glad because it landed safely. I did see Pope Francis smiled and looked at the window from the live telecast. This is a heartwarming moment for me especially to the people and media who are waiting for him at the airport. I said to myself that they are very lucky because they could see him personally and the government officials who have the opportunity to have held hands with him and breathing the same air as he is. He putted a big smile on my face when he walked through the red carpet and the two children who are from the orphanage welcomed him. He rode the popemobile and passed by the streets to wave at the large crowd of people who are waiting for him. How could he have that kind of energy when he supposed to be tired from the flight? Pope Francis really has this different kind of vibe and aura around him that everyone noticed. After a lot of preaching he did in Manila including Manila Cathedral, meeting with the families in Mall of Asia Arena, University of Santo Thomas, Quirino Grandstand and tacloban Leyte. The Pope said the main reason for visiting the Philippines was to meet survivors of Super Typhoon Haiyan. It was good to know that he still pushed through the schedule to go to Tacloban Leyte despite of the heavy rain. His delivered speech helped the Tacloban citizens to never lose hope and strengthen their faith in God because Christ never fails to protect us from harm. Along with the people who are there It is very an emotional experienced to be blessed by God through Pope Francis. And it is such a deep joy to see everyone waved and cheered as Pope Francis waved back at them with a big smiled on his face. I also felt I was very blessed just seeing his smile through the television screen. Though the time was just short because of the Tropical Storm Amang Pope apologized to everyone and asked for their prayers so they could go back to Manila safe and sound. All throughout the Papal visit it is a sweet success that everything went well. We all said our prayers and love as Pope Francis went back to Rome and left us with God’s mercy and compassion in everyone’s hearts and left behind millions of emotional and faithful Filipinos as he gave his final blessing and bow. I hope that Pope Francis would come back once again in the Philippines because I know a lot of Filipinos are eager to see and be blessed by him. And for the other people who didn’t able to meet him would be given a chance to see him and hear his prayers for us the beloved children of God.

    3. As the new Pope, what message do you think Pope Francis is sending to his Roman Catholic followers around the world through his actions? He’s sending a message to other cardinals, bishops and priests that this is what we need to do – to reach out to people, not being content to wait for them to come to us. More broadly, he’s sending the same message to all Catholics everywhere.…

    First, Pavlov used soundproof lab because it allowed to isolate experimenters from all extraneous stimuli during the experimental procedures. Second, Pavlov chose food as unconditioned stimulus because food will elicit the unconditioned response, which was the salivation of the dog. In order to find a neutral stimulus that was completely unrelated to food, Pavlov decided to use the metronome as the neutral stimulus . The ticking of the metronome was exposed to the dog, immediately followed by the food. After numerous trials under this condition, the dog has began to salivate after hearing the ticking of the bell. In another word, the metronome has changed from neutral stimulus to conditioned stimulus , which has created the conditioned response of dog's salivation. Pavlov and his assistants also elaborated on this preliminary finding by using different unconditioned and neutral stimuli. For example, the odor of vanilla was presented after a mild acid solution (similar to lemon juice) was placed in the dog's mouth . The mild acid solution caused the dog to salivate . However, after several trials, the dog began to salivate solely to the odder of vanilla . Another importance finding was that the neutral stimulus did not affect the subjects conditioning if it was presented after the unconditioned stimulus. Pavlov first gave the mild acid solution to the dog; and after awhile, presented the odor of vanilla . But there was no significant change of the dog's behavior. The odor of vanilla did not changed to a conditioned stimulus. he theory of Classical Conditioning (aka Pavlovian conditioning) has now been accepted universally and unchanged since its first finding through Pavlov's work. It is now used to explain various different human behaviors, such as causation of phobias, why people dislike certain food, source of emotions, etc. Pavlov's finding has showed that classical conditioning focuses on reflexive behaviors,…

    With child abuse cases on the rise, children are being used as evidence in the courtroom; this involves them giving accurate eye witness testimony. Parker and Carranza conducted a laboratory study in 1989 to study the accuracy of age in eye witness testimony. They showed a mock crime scene video to a sample of primary school children and a sample of college students. They found that the primary school children were more likely to ‘just pick’ a criminal from a line up compared to college students who were hesitant about choosing anyone but they were more likely to identify the correct person; concluding that adults were more likely to give accurate eye witness testimonies. On the other hand though Ceci and Bruck completed a study that concluded children may have more accurate eye witness testimonies as they have no prejudices or schemas. They don’t stereotype people and are more likely to tell you it ‘how it is’. The lack of a schema in children means that they can sometimes be more useful than adult eye witness testimonies as they have no preconceptions of the crime/incident. Goodman and Schaff showed that the language used when asking a child a question may affect a child’s recall because of their level of understanding and word development. Overall it has to be said that children give a less detailed EWT but this doesn’t mean that it is any less accurate. Young children are more prone to leading questions and are more likely to change their answer if a question is repeatedly asked because they feel they need to impress someone and the judge is ‘correct’ on comparison to them.…

    One of the major causes of stress is feeling overwhelmed by a situation and thus feeling out of control. It's important to recognise the applications of this explanation, because control is a part of so many activities relating to stress, including work, life events, and hassles. It also suggests why people with physical illnesses such as cancer feel more stressed, and why we get stressed when we're not sure what's going on. One study which looked at lack of control as a cause of stress was Geer and Maisel. The study was a laboratory experiment using a sample of 60 students, who were made to look at photographs of dead car crash victims. The sample was split into three conditions, each with a varying amount of control. Group 1 were told the timings of the photographs so they knew when they'd appear and disappear, and they were also told how to get rid of the photographs from the screen. Group 2 knew the timings only, and Group 3 was unaware of timings and how to stop the photographs remaining on-screen. Stress response was measured physiologically by two measures: an ECG machine measuring heart rate (though this measurement was discarded) and through galvanic skin response. Group 1 had the lowest stress according to the GSR, and Group 3 had the highest. Overall, the results suggest that lack of control can increase stress, and that control over your environment could help to reduce stress.…

    “The beginning of wisdom is to work to acquire it. At the cost of all you possess, strive to gain insight (PROVERBS 4:7).” We all have the wisdom as we are born in this world. Exercise on wisdom and working on it, produces a vast knowledge in which in that way, we could be wise. That is how wisdom could be acquired but the question is. Are we striving to acquire wisdom or are we striving to gain insights? That is the thing that we should mark on our mind. Others would say that they are not intelligent to answer a certain question. Maybe we could say that your intelligence is not enough to answer that question. Did God made a well-being that is not intelligent? All his creations consist of different capacity and capability. Just like the humans in which were given intelligence. Well, we all have intelligence as we are born in this world. The rate of our intelligence depends on how we enhance and make use of it. Intelligence refers to the ability of an individual to learn from experience, to reason well, and to cope with the demands of social living. It is also the ability to acquire, recall and use knowledge to understand concrete and abstract concepts, relations among objects and ideas, and to use knowledge in a meaningful way. In intelligence we consider that experiencing is really learning.…
