This document discusses the relationship between self interests and social interests. It notes that while individuals have their own self interests, they are also members of society and have social responsibilities. Self interests can include seeking wealth, ambition, and social status, while social interests involve behaving within social norms and acting for the benefit of society. A clash can occur when personal interests are incompatible or opposite to social interests. To balance these, individuals should adhere to ethical codes both in their personal lives and professions to respect social interests.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY THE 1ST STEP IN CORRUPTION
Academic dishonesty is the first step towards corruption. When children start cheating in school due to fear of their parents, it establishes a pattern of dishonesty that can escalate in college where students use shortcuts to get good grades instead of learning. Certain factors contribute to student dishonesty, such as competitive pressure to outperform others and parents putting pressure on children to get high grades. If parents themselves are corrupt, their children are more likely to engage in dishonest behaviors as well. The dishonesty of students is concerning for a country's future as students should be upholding integrity but cheating has become commonplace instead.

ECOFEMINISM.pptx
Ecofeminism is a social and political movement that advocates for the intersectional connection between women's rights and environmentalism. It emerged in the 1970s as a response to the recognition that both women and the environment were often marginalized and exploited by patriarchal systems.
At its core, ecofeminism argues that there are important parallels between the oppression of women and the degradation of the natural environment. It argues that both women and nature have been historically devalued, objectified, and exploited by male-dominated societies that prioritize domination, exploitation, and extraction for profit. Ecofeminists argue that this mindset of exploitation and domination perpetuates violence against both women and the environment.
Ecofeminism also emphasizes the important role of women in environmental conservation and sustainability. It recognizes that women have often been at the forefront of grassroots movements for environmental protection, conservation, and sustainable practices. Ecofeminists believe that empowering women and recognizing their knowledge and skills in environmental management can contribute to more sustainable and equitable solutions for environmental challenges.
Furthermore, ecofeminism critiques the dominant Western worldview of dualism, which separates humanity from nature and perpetuates a hierarchical relationship between the two. Ecofeminists advocate for a more holistic and interconnected understanding of humanity's relationship with nature, where humans are seen as part of, rather than separate from, the natural world.In conclusion, ecofeminism highlights the intersectionality between gender, social justice, and environmental issues. It emphasizes the need for gender equality, social justice, and environmental sustainability to be addressed together as part of a more holistic approach to creating a just and sustainable world. It has inspired activists, scholars, and policymakers to work towards a more inclusive and equitable understanding of our relationship with the environment and each other. Overall, ecofeminism seeks to challenge and transform the patriarchal systems and ideologies that perpetuate the exploitation and degradation of both women and the environment.

Brain Drain Advantages and Disadvantages
Brain drain refers to the emigration of skilled professionals from developing countries to developed countries. This occurs because developing countries cannot match the higher wages and better opportunities available abroad. While migration benefits individual migrants and their new host countries, it negatively impacts the development of source countries. Specifically, brain drain results in a shortage of skilled workers like doctors, engineers and teachers needed for local industries, infrastructure projects and healthcare systems. It also increases national training and replacement costs as skilled migrants must be replaced. If not addressed, brain drain will hollow out developing countries and impair their economic growth by continuously depleting their human capital resources.
