This document provides a summary of a research paper that compares policies regarding indigenous peoples' rights in Indonesia, Australia, and Latin America. It discusses how indigenous peoples have faced issues regarding land rights, self-determination, and participation in decision-making. Internationally, instruments like the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and ILO Convention 169 have recognized collective rights to lands and resources and the principle of free, prior, and informed consent. However, indigenous groups in Indonesia still face uncertainty over legal recognition and have had few successes in land disputes.

Joe puna research report on asylum seekersJoe Puna
The Amnesty International report outlines concerns over treatment of asylum seekers at the Manus Detention Center in Papua New Guinea. It finds that Australia and Papua New Guinea have failed in their responsibilities under international law to protect refugees. Conditions at the center were described as worse than what asylum seekers fled from in their home countries. While Australia claims its policies aim to prevent people smuggling, the report argues this has led to passing international obligations to other countries and denying asylum seekers their rights.
The document discusses civics and ethics education at Addis Ababa University. It defines civics as dealing with citizens' rights and responsibilities as members of a political community or state. Citizens have both rights, like access to services, and duties, such as paying taxes and respecting laws. Civics education aims to create active, competent citizens by teaching them about democratic values, history, political systems, and philosophy. Citizenship is defined as the legal recognition of an individual's integration into the political system, entailing both rights and obligations. Citizenship can be acquired by birth in a territory or country or through naturalization by fulfilling certain residency and character requirements.
The Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) scam involved the misuse of PDAF funds by members of Congress from 2003-2013. It is estimated that ₱10 billion was defrauded from the government and diverted to Janet Lim-Napoles and participating politicians. The scam has provoked public outrage in the Philippines over the misuse of funds intended to help local communities. Reforms have been proposed to increase transparency and remove legislator discretion over projects in order to prevent future corruption.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

2. Baylis and Sam Smith citizenship as the "status of having the right to participate in and
to be represented in politics(Baylis & Smith,2001)" . It is the citizenship, in general, will
defined the entitlement of individual with regards to legal and political rights. In the
philippine national elections, right to own land and property in the country , right to
engage in business or profession as a Filipino, to be a Philippine Passport Holder. I
called it as a "identifier borderline" where it will define who is within the circle of
community and who is not .United Nations further describes it as one of the most
powerful instruments of exclusion, where every states identifies particular set of
persons as its citizens and define all others as non-citizens or aliens (UNESCO, 2017)T.H
Marshall, further elaborate the definition of citizenship as "a status bestowed on those
who are full members of a community. Every country have laws in ways they defined
their citizens. Whatever their laws are, civilization honors the long time citizenship
categorization principle Jus Sangunis and Jus Solis.
3. A country who adapted this principle ,regardless of the nationality of their parents will
adopt their child as their own new citizens, thus, accorded this newly born child alrights
and privileges of a citizens .Known countries who adopted Jus Solis are United States,
Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico ,Peru, Jamaica, and Pakistan (Apsan,2015).Latin term
Jus Sanguinis on the other hand means "right by blood". A country who acceded to this
long time honored principle will tell us, regardless of where the child was born, that child
will follow the citizenship of their parents. Aside from Philippines ,most of the countries
not mentioned above subscribed with Jus Sanguinis. The Philippines has also a valid
right to claim the child as Filipino citizen by virtue of Jus Sanguinis. This will make a child
dual citizen. Although in General ,dual citizenship and did not recognize it. When one
stipulates the restriction of dual citizenship and did not recognize it. Countries like
Singapore, Austria, India, and Saudi Arabia were among those who do not allowed dual
citizenship "upon certain special conditions under exceptional cases like celebrities (D'
Alessio Law Grou,2017)
4. APPROACHES IN CITIZENSHIP
• LIBERAL APPROACH
A liberal theory of citizenship emphasises the equality of rights which citizens holds,
and how these rights enable the individual to pursue their aim goals (Lister & Pia, 2008).
The central theme of liberal approach is the presumption that individual citizens act
'rationally to advance his/her own interest and the role of the state is to protect the
citizens in case their is an abuse or excessive exercise of rights. For Jones and Gaventa,
"Granting each individual the same formal rights is understood to promote equality
through making a persons political and economic power irrelevant to right claims.
Exercising rights is seen as the choice of citizens, on the assumption that the have
necessary resources and opportunities,(Jones ,2002)
5. 2. COMMUNITARIAN APPROACH
Communiication believes that the community exist first prior to individuals.
Contrasting Liberal Approach, it argues that such approach "fails" to consider duty or
loyalty to the community, ignores social nature of individuals and emphasizing rights to
ignore responsibilities and duties owned to community "Lister & Pia,2008". It directly
rejected the concepts of "self interested" and "independent". The central theme for this
school of though is the notion of socially-embedded citizen and community belonging
where common good is more important over the pursuit of individual
interes.(Jones,2002).
6. 3. REPUBLICAN APPROACH
Also known as a Civic Republican Approach. This view describes that participation in
government is he foundation of civic good. It is critical of both liberal perspective,
which it sees as too fragmentary and also the communitarian view as it vary of local
identities being placed above wider civic goals 'Lister & Pia, 2008). It is similar to
communitarianism where it looks forward to what binds citizens together into a
community. The main idea is the role of individual obligations to participate
affairs.(Jones,2002).
7. FILIPINO
CITIZENSHIP
Under the the 1987 Philippine Constitution, Article IV enumerates who is considered as
Filipino Citizens. Reading the whole provision, there are two types Filipino citizens
?Natural born citizens and Naturalized Citizens.
A.Natural born Citizen Art IV, Sec. 2 of 1978. Constitution specifically defined natural
born citizens and "they are those who are citizens of the Philippines from birth without
having to perform any act to acquire or perfect their Philippine citizenship. They are
those following circumstances;
1.) Those who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of the adoption of this (1987)
Constitution;
2.) Those whose fathers or mothers sre citizens of the philippines;
3.) Those born before January 17, 1973, of a Filipino mother, who elect Philippine
citizenship upon reaching the age og majority.
8. B. Naturalized Citizens. Art, Sec. 1, Par. 4 defined naturalized citizens are those who
acquire citizenship and naturalized in accordance with law. There are only three
circumstances where an individual can be consider as natural born citizen. Outside of
three circumstances ,they will be considered as naturalized.
What is the benefit difference between natural born and naturalized citizens? National
Positions like President, Vice President, Senator, District or Party list Representatives,
Supreme Court Justices, constitutional Commissions Ombudsman and Commission on
human rights are reserved positions for natural born citizens.
Former Dean Andy Bautista narrated on this article the evolution of distinct between
natural and naturalized citizens. According to her, as early as 1899 Constitution, no
distinction was made in holding public position.
9. FILIPINO AS CITIZEN
Once in philippine history, Filipino people had a glamorous celebration known
as'Occupation Day'. This is a commemoration day in celebrating the fortieth
anniversary of U.S occupation in Manila. It was led by no less than President Manuel
Quezon on August 13, 1938 at Luneta , together with the high ranked Filipino Officials
marched before U.S High Commissioner to express " the nations gratitude to America
for the blessing of liberty and democracy, the peace ad prosperity it had obtained, and
a irrevicable relationship bound together not by alliance, nor a declaration, nor a treaty
but rather eternal, spiritual kinship and relationship that extra ordinary, indefinable
longing for the same sort of things".
10. For Mojares, this carnival celebration is very symbolic moment. It is benevolent
assimilation of American style political system, the country's subordination to
US Economy, the phenomenal expansion of public education base on English
language, and the spread of a modernity mediated by the United States
(Mojares, 2006).
11. Up to the modern day, we bring this 'occupation day' with us. In our daily living, our
mindset is occupied by the western culture. This is depicted in the essay wrote by Nick
Joaquin, A Heritage of Smallness. Highlights of his description are as follows: 'Society
for the Filipino is a small rowboat: the barangay. Geography for the Filipino is small
locality: the barrio. History for the Filipino is small vague saying: matanda pa kat
Mahoma. Enterprise for Filipino is a small stall: the sari-sari store. The industry and
production for Filipino are the small immediate scratching of each day: Isang Kahig,
Isang Tuka. And commerce for the Filipino is the very smallest degree of retail: the
tingi." We have to move Forward. We are a world class citizens.
12. We as Filipino Citizens must participate in political and social process of the country.
Misgovernance of government resources adversely affect the citizentry. Thanks to the
rising numbers of civil society who act in behalf of the Filipinos. They show to us that in
occasion of misgovernance, someone must speak up and take actions. In a speech of
then Anti-Graft Commissioner Teresita Baltazar, she believes that the citizens are the
'moral force' for good governance. We must not settle for less.
CITIZENSHIP PARTICIPATION
13. Citizens' pressure will gradually give us what type of governance we want
(Baltazar, 2010). She even lay out what we can do like being:
1. Watchdog and monitors of public procurement, election & campaign
spending, public expenditure (national budget, Internal Revenue Allotment,
PDAF), project implementation (schools, roads, bridges, etc), public service
delivery, and performance of public officials.
2. Advocate for system and process reform, anti-corruption legislation,
electoral and political reforms, and transparency in the appointment process.
3. Providing Support through technical assistance, trainings, providing
informations and evidence in Lifestyle checks and corruption cases.
14. With the advent of technology, Filipinos are starting to get involved in the
political process thru social media. In an informal report of Rappler, Filipino
Facebook users were considered as most engaged voters in Asia Pacific, where
there are estimated 22 Million Filipinos got engaged in 2016 elections. Elizabeth
Hernandez, the head of APAC Public Policy at Facebook, "this has been the
number one most engaged elections in Asia Pacific". There are 47 Million active
Facebook account in the Philippines, and 100 Million population that makes us
the fastest growing app market in South East Asia (Dela Paz, Rappler, 2016).

16. 1. FOLLOW TRAFFIC RULES. FOLLOW THE LAW - Let us do our share and be a
good driver and pedestrian. Traffic is one the problem of Philippines.
According to Numbeo, research body who released a study based on Time
Index, Manila ranked 10th on a list of cities with the worst traffic in the world.
This cause Philippine economy loose P2.4 Billion daily and will blow to P6
Billion by 2030 if not address according to the separate study conducted by
Japan International Cooperation Agency or JICA. All of this is attributed to
poor traffic laws and driving attitudes (The Philippine Star, 2016).
17. 2. WHENEVER YOU BUY OR PAY ANYTHING, ASK FOR OFFICIAL RECIEPT -
Typical consumer will not ask for receipt especially if the product they bought
is for personal consumption. Employees and customers ask receipt if there
company required them to reimburse or liquidate budget. Filipino mindset on
asking receipt is poor. We do not see its value and instead we treat this small
piece of paper as a trash. This is the price we miss everytime we failed to ask
for official receipt. Consider you are filling up a gas for your motorcycle for
P100.00. At 12% VAT rate, the petrol company must remit P12.00 as VAT. Since
you do not ask for receipt, the company can just declare they have not receive
your P12.00 as VAT since no receipt was issued. Can you just imagine how
many P12.00 VAT is not remitted? When accumulated, your receipt can build
classrooms, bridges, roads, and other social services.
18. 3. DON'T BUY SMUGGLED GOODS. BUY LOCAL. BUY FILIPINO - Let us help our
fellow Filipino. Let us support government by paying correct taxes. Smuggled
goods do not pay correct taxes, Smuggled goods kill our small time Filipino who
work harder and want to be fair. In 2016, government loses P200B a year in tax
revenues due to smuggled goods. P37B of it were agricultural products that
freely entered the market, 'depriving local farmers of their much need revenue'
(Testa, 2016). Aside from avoidance in buying smuggled goods, the item also
suggest buy local. Lacson understand that not all imported goods have local
counterparts. In this, he proposes 50-50 share in buying imported and local
goods.
19. 4. WHEN YOU TALK TO OTHERS, ESPECIALLY FOREIGNERS SPEAK POSITIVELY
ABOUT US AND OUR COUNTRY - In a recent travel to Japan, there is a 70-year
old guy (take note of the age) who serves us as our tourist guide together with
other foreigner with other countries. Upon knowing that we are Filipinos, he
shared his experience of visit to the Philippines. When the coaster was filled up
with foreign passengers, he delightly welcome all on board and to break the ice,
he asked some trivia questions. Most of them are pensioner. Is there any
country here who gives free movies to senior citizens? There was silenced. "You
know what" the tour guide said "only in the Philippines, who give free movies".
20. I saw the amazement of my fellow passengers. He throwed another question in
the floor: What country gives 20% discount to Senior Citizens? No one dares to
raise their hands. "Only in the Philippines, they give such discount", the tour
guide remarks, and he introduce us to the rest of tourist in the bus. Other
countries were astonished to how we treat our senior citizens, while in their
country they do not enjoy such privilege, no matter how rich their economy
was. This made me realized that it takes another citizens of another country to
appreciate what we got. The benefits of senior citizen is only one of the many
things we should be proud of.
21. 5. RESPECT YOUR TRAFFIC OFFICER, POLICEMEN AND SOLDIER - How many
drivers respect a traffic officer? Motorists look down on them and belittle
them. Arrogance of some executives both in private and public have their own
share of abuses. Saturnino Fabros, traffic enforcer for 27 years, received
shameless physical attack from an executive of a firm as reported by Philippine
Daily Inquirer (Calleja, 2012). There are still undocumented corruption with an
enforcer when private motorist caught for traffic violation. Simple respect for
traffic officer and traffic rules can make a difference.
22. 6. DO NOT LITTER. DISPOSE YOUR GARBAGE PROPERLY. SEGREGATE. RECYLE.
CONSERVE - Simple and doable but not everyone's practice. You can see in the
road, from their car they simply dump away their garbages. They want to be
clean inside the car, at the expense of throwing them in the road. We can
change our country. We can lessen the flood situation in the country by doing
our share.
23. 7. SUPPORT YOUR CHURCH - Church is one of the social pillars of the society.
It plays a major role in influencing morality. Usually, church workers depend
only on the provision of God's grace through love offering. They nourished us
spiritually, psychologically and emotionally. "The elders who are good leaders
should be considered worthy of an ample honorarium (of respect and
remuneration, lit of double honor), especially those who work hard at
preaching and teaching" (1 Timothy 5:17, HCSB).
24. 8. DURING ELECTION, DO YOUR SOLEMN DUTY - This is one of the entitlement
as citizens. It is the people, through voting, who gives the mandate for any
person in power. Let us exercise our duty to vote even when we believe that
our favorite party or candidate has no serious chance of winning. This line of
thinking is supported by our moral obligation. It is our duty to protect oneself,
a duty to help others, a duty to produce good government (Stanford
Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2016). It may have a little value for you as an
individual, but the outcome of election has a direct impact, especially to
marginalized sector of the society. We vote for the underprivileged who used
public hospitals and health centers, for students who take public school to
alleviate their poverty, for those who have nothing in life.
25. 9. PAY YOUR EMPLOYEES WELL - Pay system is one key factors affecting
motivation and relationships at work. Let us help fellow Filipino to uplift their
standard of living by paying them well. After all, we are not in the place where
we are right now if it's not because of them. Paying well the employee will not
only support the employee himself but also the entire family. This is not only
applicable in the workplace. This is also applicable in the market place. As
much as possible, if you can, avoid asking too much discount especially in the
market. The seller in the market has only a slim profit for every item, then here
we are, we will rob them their slim profit by asking too much discount.
26. 10. PAY YOUR TAXES - In financial or political principle, tax is considered as the
life blood of the government. This fund is use to cover the expenses for public
services, including the infrastructure and salaries of government employees.
They are vital to economic growth and improvement of poverty incidence. With
the alleged corruptions, the issue of pork barrel where there is an estimated
P10B were allegedly pocketed by lawmakers. Taxpayers are now thinking if they
should pay tax.
27. 11. ADOPT A SCHOLAR OR A POOR CHILD - I believe in this principle. I finished
my college degree with the help of scholarship. I am not intelligent or the
brightest in my batch. I am simple, average, grammatically horor (its not
honor)student that time when s one foundation, Starr Foundation, a U.S Based
Foundation, who give me a chance to study and support me. The grant is
almost unconditional. They bless me. With this experience, today, I set up my
own scholarship program. One criteria in my scholarship is this: NO
VALEDICTORIAN O SALUTATORIAN OR THOSE WHO BELONG TO TOP TEN OF
THEIR CLASS IS ALLOWED! Those gifted students have hundreds of
opportunities to apply for scholarship.
28. My scholarship is for the average student like me. Like what Starr Foundation
did, I did it unconditionally. The subsidy we give is little amount. But for those
who wants to finish college, our graduates affirmed that it is a big help. How do
our beneficiaries avail our scholarship? Simple thru facebook. They simply
liked my page www.facebook.com/1sampagaduan and wait for the
announcement. Then they comply and submit their requirements. There you
are. Why do I did this? Am I a philanthropist? Am I wealthy? No. I am not. I do it
because someone did it to me also. My motto, I want to Share - Act - and Make
a Difference.

29. 12. BE A GOOD PARENT. TEACH YOUR KIDS TO FOLLOW THE LAW AND LOVE
OUR COUNTRY - Be a good parent. Be with your child during their development
years. Find an opportunity in the country. According to United Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF) report, as of 2012, an estimated 9M Filipino children
lose one or both parents to migration. It is 10% of the Philippine population.
The family may have financial needs, but the parent/s forget to compute the
social cost of migrating. In the study, the following are problems face by
'feeling abandoned' children (Dioquino, 2012):
30. -The difficulty adjusting to the absence of a mother after establishing
an
-affection for her child; Poor social adjustment;
-Impeded psychological development;
-Lack of motivation among children, resulting in poor performance or
-dropping out of schools; and
-Increased vulnerability to drugs and substance.
