1. Senator Cynthia Villar criticized the Philippine Department of Agriculture for allocating 150 million pesos of their 1.2 billion proposed budget for 2020 to research under the National Corn Program, arguing that farmers need direct assistance like seeds and fertilizers instead.
2. The paragraph asks questions about why all of the department's budget goes to research and what farmers will do with research. It also notes Senator Villar's objective is to help farmers directly.
3. The document presents a problem between research funding and direct farmer assistance, provides background on the budget hearing, and introduces concepts of positivism and the role of research.

A Template for Problem Solving
Paul and Elder (2009); prepared for the Critical Thinking Foundation
To be an effective problem solver:
1. Identify your goals. Regularly re-articulate your goals, purposes, needs, and values. Use visualization and visuals with goals to assist with identification and motivation. A problem is an obstacle to reaching your goals, achieving your purpose, meeting your needs, and following your values. What will it look like when the problem is gone?
2. Identify your problems. The problem must be stated clearly and precisely.
3. Study the problem. Classify the problem. What kind of problem is it? Where did it come from? When does it occur? With whom does it occur?
4. Find your control. What parts of the problem are under your control and influence? What parts of the problem are not under your direct control and influence?
5. Information is needed to solve the problem. Figure out the information that is needed to solve the problem. Access and review this information. Use many sources if possible.
6. Carefully analyze the information needed to solve the problem. Be careful of fixation and egocentric/ethnocentric thinking during this process; you might be able to go with what worked before, but you also might have to try something completely new. Only make reasonable (reliable and valid) inferences from this data.
7. Determine options for action. Action is needed to solve problems. What can you accomplish in the short term? What will be a long term option for action to solve the problem? Identify both types of options. Recognize limitations: time, money, power, culture, et cetera.
8. Evaluate the options for action. Determine the theoretical strengths (advantages) and weaknesses (disadvantages) of each option.
9. Adopt a specific action plan. Follow it through. This might be a direct action for problem solving, or it might be a “wait and see” plan.
10. Monitor the implications of your actions. Be ready, at all times, to revise your action plan. Realize the situation might require flexibility. Be prepared to change your mind, gather more information, or alter your statement of the problem as you learn more about the problem.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

RESEARCH PARAGRAPH ACTIVITY.pptx
1. Actvity 1:Read and analyze the paragraph and answer the questions that follow.
Bakit lahat ng inyong budget, puro research? Aanhin ninyo ba 'yung
research? Gusto ba nung farmer ‘yung research? Hindi ba, gusto nila, tulungan
niyo sila? Bakit ba lahat ng budget niyo, research? These are the questions asked
by Senator Cynthia Villar to the Department of Agriculture during the Senate
budget hearing on October 9, 2019. The senator, who is the Chairperson of the
Senate Committee on Agriculture and Food for the 18th Congress, criticized the
decision of the Agriculture Department to allot ₱150 million of the ₱1.2 billion-
proposed budget for the National Corn Program for 2020 for research. Instead of
research projects, she pointed out that direct assistance is what the farmers truly
need such as receiving seeds, fertilizers, or machineries. Although the intention of
Senator Cynthia Villar was good, do you think farmers really do not need
research? In the first module, you have learned that Positivism can guide Social
Sciences in
examining and understanding different social phenomena by way of systematic
observations, critical analyses, and interpretations of social facts, and these
Positivist methods can only be done by doing what Senator Cynthia Villar was
