Upper Class| Figure 2: Members of the upper class can afford to live, work, and play in exclusive places designed for luxury and comfort. (Photo courtesy of PrimeImageMedia.com/flickr)| The upper class is considered America’s top, and only the powerful elite get to see the view from there. In the United States, people with extreme wealth make up one percent of the population, and they own one-third of the country’s wealth (Beeghley 2008). Money provides not just access to material goods, but also access to power. America’s upper class wields a lot of power. As corporate leaders, their decisions affect the job status of millions of people. As media owners, they shape the collective identity of the nation. They run the major network television stations, radio broadcasts, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, and sports franchises. As board members of the most influential colleges and universities, they shape cultural attitudes and values. As philanthropists, they establish foundations to support social causes they believe in. As campaign contributors, they influence politicians and fund campaigns, sometimes to protect their own economic interests. American society has historically distinguished between “old money” (inherited wealth passed from one generation to the next) and “new money” (wealth you have earned and built yourself). While both types may have equal net worth, they have traditionally held different social standing. People of old money, firmly situated in the upper class for generations, have held high prestige. Their families have socialized them to know the customs, norms, and expectations that come with wealth. Often, the very wealthy don’t work for wages. Some study business or become lawyers in order to manage the family fortune. Others, such as Paris Hilton, capitalize on being a rich socialite and transform that into celebrity status, flaunting a wealthy lifestyle. However, new money...

Introduction
I. Background of the study
We owe it to ourselves as Filipinos to revisit the writings of Dr. Rizal and try to gain an understanding of his ideals and hope for the Philippines. Dr. Rizal is a great gift of God to us, if we are to see it in a Christian perspective. But Dr. Rizal may be like a precious gift left unopened in the closet of our lackadaisical minds.
Participating in the events being held this year is a good way to open our hearts and minds to the dreams of Rizal for a progressive and enlightened Filipino nation. Reading and understanding his works will be another way for us to reach the goal of a truly free and independent Philippines.
In June 1892 Rizal left two sealed letters with a Portuguese friend “to be opened and published after my death.” In these letters Rizal explained to his family and his countrymen that he was returning to the Philippines to show by example that Filipinos knew how to die for principles.
This is the letter he wanted us to read, a letter that will illustrate to anti-Rizal advocates whyRizal is ournationalhero:
“The step that I have taken, or am about to take, is undoubtedly very risky, and it is unnecessary to say that I have pondered on it a great deal. I know that everyone is opposed to it but I...

...WHY IS JOSE RIZALOURNATIONALHERO?
(Reaction Paper)
Dr. Jose Rizal is unquestionably our greatest nationalhero and martyr of our nation. We cannot deny the fact that many other heroes gave their lives for our country by fighting foreign invaders with their sharp weapons, but Rizal was still selected asournationalhero whereas he uses pen only. For the pen is mightier than the sword that a person can cause people to change their opinions on a large scale whereas a sword can only change a person's opinion by force and then often only results in the person's death. It means that written material like books or poetry has more influence than fighting or war. We may also understand from it that ideas are more effective than violence. The pen also is much more influential than the sword. It should be a source of all the Filipinos to have one of such excellent and merits which may be equalled but not surpassed by any other man. But we sometimes denied in ourselves what he did in order to save our country. Sometimes other says that he does not deserve to be called ournationalhero for he never fights by sword and immediately kill the invaders.
His humble opinions open the heart of every reader and let them...

...is, Rizal was brought up by his parents very well that he became almost excellent and great in all that he did.
Way back in my elementary days, we were asked what we would like to be when we grow up. I answered, “My dad is a great, smart and handsome accountant and I wanna be just like him.” I believed that what we turn out to be is patterned on our parents, how we are brought up by them and how our family supports us in what we do. In Rizal’s case, his abilities, I believe, came from his parents. His skills in literature particularly in poems and his skill in speaking Spanish came from the upbringing he got from his mother, Teodora Alonso and his skills in philosophy came from his father, Francisco Mercado.
I admire Rizal’s parents because even if they were part of the principalia, they lived simply and taught their children to live humbly. They exercised their children to be good-mannered, respectful to everyone, disciplined and God-fearing. They were strict to their children and they, just like any other parents, disciplined their children physically because they believed in the saying “Spare the rod and spoil the child”. They also taught Rizal and his siblings to love God above all. This was concretely shown in their practice of attending mass every day, praying the angelus at home and praying the rosary before going to sleep at night. However, being strict and very religious persons that they...

...﻿Who Made RizalOur Foremost NationalHero, and Why?
BY: ESTEBAN A. DE OCAMPO
Dr. Jose Rizal Mercado y Alonso, or simply Jose Rizal (1861-1896), is unquestionably the greatest hero & martyr of our nation. The day of his birth & the day of his execution are fittingly commemorated by all classes of our people throughout the length & breadth of this country & even by Filipinos & their friends abroad. His name is a byword in every Filipino home while his picture adorns the postage stamp & paper money of widest circulation. No other Filipino hero can surpass Rizal in the number of towns, barrios, & streets named after him; in the number of educational institutions, societies, & trade names that bear his name; in the number of persons, both Filipinos & foreigners, who were named "Rizal" or "Rizalina" because of their parents’ admiration for the Great Malayan; & in the number of laws, Executive Orders & Proclamations of the Chief Executive, & bulletins, memoranda, & circulars of both the bureaus of public & private schools. Who is the Filipino writer & thinker whose teachings & noble thoughts have been frequently invoked & quoted by authors & public speakers on almost all occasions? None but Rizal. And why is this so? Because as biographer Rafael Palma (1) said, "The...

FLOOD AND DROUGHT MANAGEMENT IN MALAYSIA
21 June 2007
DERAF TEKS UCAPAN
Introduction
Malaysia is fortunate that it is not directly affected by serious disasters like earthquake, hurricanes, typhoon, tornadoes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. This country is also rich in water resources, receiving an abundant amount of rain every year. The average annual rainfall is 2,400 mm for Peninsular Malaysia, 3,800 mm for Sarawak and 2,600 mm for Sabah.
Even though Malaysia has seemingly sufficient water resources to meet all our needs for the foreseeable future and not too excessive as compared to other countries like Bangladesh, there are some water-related problems which have raised concerns among water engineers and the public. The problems are not about having too little water to satisfy our needs, as in some water-scarce countries in the world, or too much to cope with, rather, it is a problem of not managing water effectively to achieve our desired objectives. In some river basins, there is already the problem of water shortage especially during periods of prolong droughts, and conversely, the problem of excessive water and floods during the wet season....

...﻿Dr. Jose Protacio mercado rizal y alonso deserves to be the country's foremost nationalhero because of his achievements.
He knew that by writing the noli me tangere and the el filibuterismo thereby exposing the injustices committed by the civil and clerical officials would put his life and his family's life in danger.
He did not retract his writings because he was thinking not only of the welfare of the present generations but also of the future generations.
Through his novels, bonifacio and the other katipuneros were inspired. rizal opened the minds of the people.
At first, he resented the revolution for he was not a revolutionary man and he did not want bloodshed.
All he wanted was a reformation which the government did not grant. He gave his name and even his life for his beloved homeland believing that through his death a new Philippines would be born with the youth as its leaders.
Dr. Jose Rizal is unquestionably our greatest nationalhero and martyr of our nation. We cannot deny the fact that many other heroes gave their lives for our country by fighting foreign invaders with their sharp weapons, but Rizal was still selected as ournationalhero whereas he uses pen only.

...appreciate the events that truly mattered in the development of history, no one of the Filipino blood could turn his back on Dr. Jose P. Rizal. Throughout my academic journey in school, my knowledge about him consistently evolves. If before, I’ve known him as a hero with distinctive title, now I’ve come to appreciate his literary pieces that awakened the patriotism of our heritage. But after such studies and idealisms learned in the academies, the existent thing that we, as individuals with brown complexion, need to augment is the real life’s application of the valuable deeds that were realized a hundred and fifty-one years ago. Was Rizal’s battle for independence worth fighting for? Or did his citizens turn into dependent and reluctant shadows decades after?
A vigilant Filipino would know that the missing pieces in a country’s jigsaw puzzle to progress lie in two main groups. These two groups are not actually intended to be separated from each other. If truth be told, none of the two would have existed without the other one.
The first of the two groups is the Philippine government. While it is evident that kind-hearted officials still exist, we cannot deny that our democratic leadership is being pestered by fiends. For almost every day, we hear reports exposing the debauched acts — may it be graft or bribery — of our political leaders. Probably, if Rizal were just alive, he would have...
