Rich and the landed

March 23rd, 2010

Flamboyant politicians are particularly vulnerable to legal attacks. Checking with government agencies could easily unearth the full extent of their estate. Some high public officials have no choice but to disclose the full extent of their estate because they are required by law (R.A. No. 6713) to file their statement of assets and liabilities with the Office of the Ombudsman. The rich and the landed gentry are attractive defendants, just like big companies and corporations that are publicly listed in the stock market. Many people are subliminally drawn by the temptation of big game hunting. Most attorneys will refrain from filing a lawsuit once they receive reliable information that the defendant does not have any capacity to pay the judgment. Some filthy rich individuals prefer a low-key lifestyle so as not to attract attention and envy. The profligate rich often maintain homes and investments abroad just in case anything disastrous happens at home. The middle class property owners are the ones left vulnerable to the vestiges of hard economic times.

Does the speaker clearly distinguish among facts, inferences, and opinions?

February 23rd, 2010

Does the speaker clearly distinguish among facts, inferences, and opinions? Facts are verifiable units of information that can be confirmed by independent observations. Inferences are projections based on facts. Opinions add personal judgments to inferences: They tell us what someone thinks about a subject. For example, “Mary was late for class today” is a fact. “Mary will probably be late for class again tomorrow” is an inference, “Mary is an irresponsible student” is an opinion. It may sound easy to make these distinctions among facts, inferences, and opinions, but you must be constantly alert to detect confusions of them in the messages you hear.
At the height of the media frenzy during the investigation of President Clinton, White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry charged that “in our political culture now, opinion often is pronounced as judgment before there are facts to support opinion.” Walter Isaacson, managing editor of Time magazine, and Kathleen Hall Jamieson, dean of the Annenberg School of Communication, supported his charge by pointing out a kind of “echo-chamber” effect in modern journalism. The echo chamber works this way: An unconfirmed rumor is initially published by one news source, and then is repeated by others as though it had been substantiated. Of one such rumor, Isaacson said: Within one day, it had spun around the city of Washington as if it were fact, and it had gotten embellished.
Facts, inferences, and opinions all have a legitimate place in public discourse, but they also can be misused. opnon

Does the speaker cite credible sources?

January 23rd, 2010

Does the speaker cite credible sources? Ethical speakers specify the credentials of their sources. When the credentials are left out or described in vague terms, the testimony may be questionable. We recently found an advertisement for a health food product that contained “statements by doctors.” A quick check of the current directory of the American Medical Association revealed that only one of the six “doctors” cited was a member of the AMA and that his credentials were misrepresented. Always ask yourself, “Where does this information come from?” and “Are these sources qualified to speak on the topic?” This was a major problem during the recent investigation of President Bill Clinton: Many media outlets during that time quoted unnamed or anonymous sources for the “facts” they were reporting. This created a formidable barrier to critical thinking by making it hard to judge the reports intelligently.

Conspicuous Consumption: Open Invitation To Lawsuits

December 23rd, 2009

Conspicuous consumption without asset protection leads to the path of economic perdition. Predators are constantly roaming the earth in search of easy prey.
Even animals, like porcupines and skunks have defensive ways to ward off attackers who wish to have them for lunch. Albeit humans have developed refined ways to discourage carnivores, they are their own worst enemies because they brag about their net worth. Fortune magazine’s annual “Richest People in the World” issue is a veritable hit list for predators. Living a lavish lifestyle is an open invitation to lawsuits.
Driving a brand new Mercedes Benz, Jaguar, Pajero, or Expedition could get you into trouble in more ways than you can imagine. Wearing a Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, or Audemars Piquet wristwatch is a declaration of affluence. If you have a high net worth, you may encounter bigger threats to your properties. Some “bountiful ladies “who dabble in dubious charity work are also at risk. The economist Thorstein Veblen, in his classic work The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899) called such work an example of conspicuous leisure, an aspect of conspicuous consumption. “It advertises that the lady has free afternoons to spend on projects with some specious object of amelioration” (Wflls, Certain Trumpets, 1994).

Social equilibrium

November 23rd, 2009

Business, industry, community and society are interdependent and interrelated. The dynamic force of change affects the whole system. All elements of the social system are involved — its people, formal and informal organization, communication networks, economic, labour force decision-making process and pattern of cooperation and competition. Whether we are speaking of a department, government or institution, the social system is operating in such a way that the different parts are harmoniously related to one another to maintain equilibrium.
In trying to maintain equilibrium, a group develop responses return to its perceived best way of life whenever any change occurs. Each pressure therefore encourages a counter pressure within the group. The result is a self-correcting mechanism by which energies are called up to restore balance whenever change threatens this equilibrium. The self-correcting characteristics of organizations is called homeostasis that is, people to establish steady state of need fulfilment and to secure them from d1sturbane of that balance.
Viewed as a whole, the idea of social equilibrium implies

(1) System of interrelated parts,

(2) A dynamic state of motion, rather than a static system,

(3) an interdependence such that a change in one part affects all others, and

(4) a homeostatic tendency to resist pressures and maintain a steady state (but not a static state).

Equilibrium implies that some frictions, jockeying and trading among departments and groups are normal conditions of the organization, because its social system is a continuous motion. Social systems are never perfectly frictionless; hence never reach an idyllic state of perfection without conflicts or problems.
With the passage of time each social system develops programs of action which it can put into effect to accommodate change as it occurs. When a change is minor and within the scope of the correcting program, adjustment is fairly routine but when a change is major or unusual, more serious upsets may occur.

The skits

October 23rd, 2009

Topics for skits can be ordinary scenes in the everyday lives of people or the world’s heroes. Choose those known everywhere in common fields of culture and arts.
Songs can be any of the romantic type or pop favorites. There are many national and seasoned poets whose poems can be recited meaningfully in class. Meanwhile, items that can be demonstrated include telephone answering machine or fax machine, a car or jeepney, a TV set, cleaning contact lenses and laundry.
Your choice of handicraft or menu should be usefulness, simplicity, economy and ease. Either your teacher assigns you the kind of handicraft or you suggest. Menu preparation requires that the activity be done in a school kitchen.

Choose your topic

September 23rd, 2009

Whatever kind of project or presentation it is, it should be within the grasp of the class, of relevance and benefit to the course or subject. The information should also be within your reach and your comprehension and skill.
Random examples of topics for a short report, debate, video presentation, interview or research paper.

The law protects your property

August 22nd, 2009

The law protects your property but only up to a certain extent. Property owners generally have the right to prevent others from taking their property against their will (Singer, Property Law, 1993). However, after the legal stumbling blocks are removed, your unprotected property becomes vulnerable to predators unless you have institutionalized a strong secondary line of defense.
Corporations, family limited partnerships, and trusts are legal instruments of asset protection that are sometimes called “sanctuaries,”“shelters, “or “havens.” These devices require more effort, time1 planning and documentation to set up, but the long-term beneficial effects they provide can rescue your properties from an otherwise dreadful ending. Many of us live in fear of losing everything we have saved and acquired. Careful planning is a cure to our worries concerning the potential loss of our properties.
The proceeds of crime are not protected from seizure and forfeiture. Criminals will not find refuge in corporations, limited partnerships, .trusts and banks. Plunderers, kidnappers, gambling lords, money launderers, drug lords, swindlers, cyber criminals, and other underworld persons will find it useless to insulate their ill-gotten wealth and their interests, incomes and assets, including shares of stocks derived from the deposit or investment of these properties.
Once unveiled, these illegally acquired assets may be frozen, seized, and forfeited in favor of the State. In the case of money laundering, the court may order the convicted offender to pay an amount equal to the value of the monetary instrument or property if the order of forfeiture of the property (that is the subject of a money laundering offense) cannot be enforced because the property has been concealed, removed, converted or transferred to another jurisdiction to avoid its forfeiture .
