A Business Graduate's Reviewing History Blog

RedStone I had my thoughts on my current molar crack  and the possibility of extraction (if things get worse) or a  root canal (which is less invasive, something people are telling me to get). It made me discuss the reactive model of healthcare. Sure, we heard that health is wealth plus prevention is better than cure . However, healthcare was reactive.  Who can remember the slogan back in school, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!"? Sadly, that has caused people to think the medical field of any sort is reactive . In short, I must admit that "We've all been" is a common sentiment . I thought about I didn't go to the dentist in years. My recent trip had a severe prophylaxis that lasted for more than an hour—descaling had to be done along with fluoride treatment. The dentist refused to fix the chip immediately and chose fluoride treatment (which I must admit tasted nearly like candy, so I was told not to swallow), and told me to get a specific type of fast...

As an advocate for constitutional reform, I've been looking at the campaign for more than just voting wisely . Sadly, the Vote Wisely campaign hardly works since the presidential system focuses on popularity. Some people think that a trolling campaign is going to help. I try to explain why the parliamentary system will be better. However, they will continue to throw in the same old narrative where it says, "But we were a parliamentary system under Marcos!" The idea itself has been long refuted . The late Benigno Simeon "Ninoy" A. Aquino Jr. even mentioned the absurdity of it . The way he mentioned, "We had a parliamentary without a parliament ." (read here ) showed how the 1973 Constitution of the Philippines wasn't a real parliamentary government. Even the words of the late Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. showed that his government wasn't parliamentary (read here ). More importantly, I noticed that many of those I run into on Facebook are actually stu...

I've grown tired of watching television. It has drawn some flak, especially with the framers (and apologists) of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines . It's not a surprise either that many of those who comment on Facebook, "It's not the constitution, it's the people running it that's the problem!" are boomers . Yes, that reminds me of several people born between 1946 and 1964 who tend to be stereotyped as resistant to change . Sure, not all boomers are resistant to change, but some people have been like that.  An article from Linkedin writes this sad fact: Why do some baby boomers refuse to learn or change? There are several reasons why some baby boomers may resist learning or changing: Cognitive rigidity: As people age, their cognitive abilities may decline, making it more difficult for them to learn new information or adapt to change . Fear of the unknown: Baby boomers may feel uncomfortable with new technologies or social norms that challenge thei...
