Recommended: Duties of a president / essay

I’m not a supporter of GMA (and I will never be), but I do not agree that she should step down from her post. GMA resigning would mean that the no-brainer Noli de Castro will be the 15th President of the pitiful Philippine Republic – and that’s the last thing I would dream of. But if the Filipinos would prefer to add another episode to the never-ending EDSA Revolution series, then Mrs. Susan Roces-Poe would take over her post.

What’s wrong with Noli and Susan? Noli de Castro is a well-known Lopez crony, and if he will become a president our Meralco bills will be as high as the Lotto Jackpot prize. And besides, he doesn’t have any leadership qualities nor the mind to rule a country. He being a vice-president and senator is even unacceptable. And Mrs. Poe is just the same. Let’s face it: a president should be someone with at least a college degree. Mere sales clerks are required to have such educational attainment, why not require it to the highest post on the land? The problem in this country is the fact that the electorate can easily be charmed with a ridiculous circus performance during the campaign period. Charisma will never fill our empty stomachs.

So if GMA stepping down would result to Kabayan or Inday being our next president, then I think it would be a bit better to stay with GMA – unless Ping Lacson is one of the options. It’s like choosing the lesser between two (or three?) evils as they say.

Yet, Mrs. Arroyo should still be responsible for the alleged cheating she did last 2004 Elections. Sorry would never do it this time (maybe because we are not as holy as God?) because anyone who committed crimes did not get away with what they did just because they apologized. I don’t know if she will ever turn into a

    The average Blockbuster store carries roughly 1,500 movie titles. Netflix carries more than 12,000 titles. It has movies that you can't find anywhere else. And Netflix uses collaborative filtering technology to send you emails that alert you to movies that you might otherwise never consider. Netflix saw the video- and game-rental market moving to DVD and built its business around that trend. Netflix doesn't rent videocassettes, only DVDs (in part because they're lighter and cheaper to mail). Netflix was able to identify and implement a strategy fo...

    A major strength that Netflix has is their ability to push for such innovation. They have reached new lengths since their start in 1997. From in-mail DVDs, to streaming media on smartphones and tablets, it’s unbelievable to witness this in the making. I think the world is a little shocked on the technological advances of Netflix. What they have done so far is spectacular and it is all because of innovation. New ideas and new strategies developed over the last fifteen years has lead Netflix to where they currently stand today. They currently have a subscriber base of over 700, 000, offering thousands of titles on many different devices. This was made possible because of their ability to innovate and strive for new technological advances. I consider Netflix a very brilliant company. Their strengths are very clear, but this isn’t to say that they have no weaknesses. Netflix has far more competitors now, than they had 15 years ago. I would say that their biggest weakness is not offering enough newer content. Some of their competitors such as Hulu, offer a ridiculous amount of new content. Netflix seems to have a large amount of titles, but majority of these titles are older titles. They need to offer newer titles more often than less. With the company advancing and technology on the rise, the younger population aren’t into the older titles. The younger population now take up a good chunk of the customer base. Netflix must

    As indicated by Abraham Lincoln: "No man is adequate to administer another man without that other's assent. At the point when the white man administers himself, that is self-government however when he oversees himself furthermore represents another man, that is more than self-government-that is oppression." (Doc. A) He was alluding to the white man's propensity to treat individuals with various skin hues as inferiors, which unquestionably happened in the Philippines. As Albert J. Beveridge brought up in Document B, "would not the general population of the Philippines incline toward the simply, human, socializing legislature of this republic to the savage, ridiculous control… from which we have spared them?" Just, human, cultivating? Strict, one-sided, Christianizing was more similar to it. In these islands, the United States of America at the end of the day committed a similar error it had made with the Native Americans. Discovered that there way was the most ideal way, 'the butcher of the Filipinos' (Doc. An) initiated. Less Filipinos kicked the bucket in the three hundred and thirty-three year Spanish govern than the 1.5 million that fell under America's forty-eight year extension.

Other than that we really think that if Netflix keeps improving at the steady pace its going, the company will have a bright future.

    When considering making a political bid for office, women are often handicapped by psychological challenges, such as lacking confidence, that men are statistically less likely to report as reasons for not making political bids. One of the most compelling psychological challenges women face when making a political bid is that they are more likely to think that they do not have the qualifications to run for political office than men are (Lawless and Fox 114). Among the skills considered to be important for political success are knowledge about public policy issues, professional experience relevant to politics, good public speaking ability, good fundraising skills, and good self-promoting skills. As shown in Table 6.3, women are less likely to

  • Claudius, the Central Antagonist in Shakespeare’s Hamlet

    An important factor of any fictional story is the antagonist, or a person who conflicts with the protagonist – the “hero” of the story (Encarta). As many have come to the realization already, Claudius is the main antagonist to Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Uncle to Prince Hamlet, King of Denmark and Husband of Gertrude, Claudius is quite a character. Imagine the guilt and anxiety brought about by killing one’s own brother, claiming his kingdom as your own, and then going so far as to marry his widow. These were the crimes of King Claudius of Denmark, and one can see that he was pretty much written to be despised by the reader, a noticeable aspect of Shakespeare’s age-old work. Moreover, many often quickly assume, upon their first reading of the play, that Prince Hamlet ought to kill the king (Goddard).
