This document discusses same-sex marriage from several perspectives including legal, religious, political, and social views. It provides statistics on support for same-sex marriage over time and differences in views among religious groups. Both arguments for and against same-sex marriage are presented regarding civil rights, child welfare, and the roles of government and religious institutions. Data is presented on the increasing acceptance of same-sex marriage among Catholics and other groups.
This presentation is prepared and used by Dr. Vivencio (Ven) Ballano for his talk on "Gender Inequality in the Philippines and the Workplace." It aims to explain gender relations and inequality in the Philippines, particularly in the workplace. It has 3 major parts. The first part introduces the sociology of gender, feminism, and 3 major feminist theories. The second part discusses gender relations and inequality in the Philippines, especially in law and legislation. The last part broadly deals with gender discrimination in employment, role, and workplace, as well as sexual harassment.

This presentation was created before the bill was passed. The RH is now a law so it is definitely no longer called as RH BILL but rather RH LAW. I hope this will still be useful esp. to those who do not know the law itself.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

2. 3.5 percent identify as LGBT
17 States have legalized gay marriage
1996 to 2013, 27 percent to 53 percent
Limited acceptance of same-sex marriage
3. Same rights may not be fair
Religious reasons
Families raised by same sex couples
Moral reasons
Figure 1: Same sex couple
recently married.
4. Allow marriage
Public recognition
Screenings for adoption
Understanding of
potential limited acceptance
Figure 2: Balance of heterosexual and
homosexual marriages.
7. “Relational equality” holds that heterosexual
and homosexual relationships are equivalent
in purpose, function, and commitment,
especially when seen from the point of view
of the participants, and therefore the two
types of relationships ought to be treated by
the state as "like cases." says Jeremy Garrett.
8. Though poll data about same-sex marriage
are relatively sparse before 2003
Two National Opinion Research Center
surveys yield a trend that spans 16 years.
◦ 1988: 11% of respondents agreed that
"homosexual couples should have the right to marry,”
69 percent disagreed
◦ 2004: 30% Agreed
54% Disagreed
According to Brewer and Wilcox.
9. Pros Cons
Financial Gain to State
and Local Governments
Same-sex marriage is
a civil right
◦ 1967 Loving vs. Virginia
People pay tax dollars
to something they
believe is wrong
Same Sex Marriage is
not a Civil Rights issue
◦ Civil Rights Act 1964
Higher Crime Rates
Holds control over the recognition of
marriage on the state level
10. 2 Ways Same Sex Marriage is banned:
◦ Constitutional Amendment & State Law
3 ways to legalize same sex marriage:
◦ Court Decision, State Legislature, & Popular Vote
Process of a State making same sex marriage
legal:
◦ Current ban on same sex marriage
◦ Recognition of legality of other states
◦ Vote to legalize marriage in home state
11. Legalizing equals more tax money for the
government which returns back to the public
in the forms of service and benefits.
Education is key when finding a compromise
◦ Family values alone cannot influence a political
decision
◦ Rights need to be understood and respected when
making an informed decision
Figure 5: Example of a ballot
to ban same sex marriage.
12. Who? : Catholicism 78.4% of
religious persons in U.S.A
What are they saying? :
While the church is open to
and are for homosexuality,
they are not open to the
idea of same-sex marriage.
Figure 6: Peaceful Protest
for Same-Sex Equality
13. The main argument for
Catholicism: Marriage should
strictly be between a man and
woman according to The
Bible.
This affects those involved
with the church. Due to the
church’s stance on same-sex
marriage, this can affect
politicians and potential
voters in future votes on
marriage equality.
Figure 7: Sign at a rally for
Traditional Marriage
14. American Sociological Review: “The Catholic
Church teaches that any sexual act
committed outside of heterosexual marriage
is sinful and characterizes homosexuality as a
disorder”
Data from the 2006 General Social Survey:
34% of Catholics agreed that homosexuals
should be allowed to marry, with only 26.3%
of the church strongly against this statement.
15. Race, Religion, and Opposition to Same-Sex
Marriage: “Catholics are markedly more
supportive of granting civil liberties to gays
and lesbians, including support for same-sex
marriages.”
Studies have found that Catholics became
more tolerant over the last two decades.
Catholics in the United States tend to be more
liberal on issues rated to gay rights.
16. A full separation of Church and State:
The Catholic Church can reserve the right to
not marry Same-Sex couples in the church,
however they must recognize legal Same-Sex
marriages.
17. Mainstream Sexuality
◦ Most intermediate on the matter since it covers everyone
that is not immediately effected by the legality of Same Sex
marriage
◦ They are the voting public and share different religious and
political views that affect same sex couples
LGTBQ
◦ Opposing View validity: traditional culture suggests that
marriage has always been between one man and one
woman. Society has functioned for decades on this principal
and why should it change?
◦ Personal opinion is that according to the Declaration of
Independence, your natural rights are to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. This means everyone in the
United States is entitled to their own happiness which
includes marriage equality.
18. Government:
◦ Opposition comes in the form of banning same sex
marriage in certain states. The legalization could begin a
downward spiral of other controversial issues such as
bestiality and polygamy.
◦ This has no effect on people of mainstream sexuality but
the recognition of marriage strongly effects those of
LGTBQ sexualities. This can result in
Religion:
◦ Separation of Church and State: The church reserves the
right to deny the act of marrying same sex couples, but
they must recognize on a political standpoint the
marriage and I share this opposing view.
