UNIT 5

"Give your insights regarding our right as citizens of the Philippines to utilize and enjoy all natural resources according to the principle of sustainable development". 

Earth’s natural resources include air, water, soil, minerals, plants, and animals. Conservation is the practice of caring for these resources so all living things can benefit from them now and in the future.
Natural resources are central to human wellbeing. We cannot live without the clean air we breathe, the plants we eat, or the water we drink. We need natural resources to put roofs over our heads and heat our homes. We need them to survive and to thrive.

The concept of natural resources refers to naturally occurring living and non-living elements of the Earth system, including plants, fish, and fungi, but also water, soil, and minerals. A prominent way to think about natural resources is to look at them in terms of depletion risk: do they regenerate, and, if so, at what pace? Some resources, such as trees and plants, are renewable because they regenerate relatively quickly. Others, such as copper and oil, take much longer to form and are considered non-renewable. Together, natural resources make up a dense web of interdependence, forming ecosystems that also include humans. As such, the distribution of resources shapes the face of our planet and the local distinctiveness of our environments. People have formed different types of cultural, spiritual, and subsistence-based relationships with the natural environment, adopting value-systems that go beyond economic framings.
Indeed; Sustainable utilization of natural resources is the proper management of natural resources for the benefit of the entire human community. The main aim of sustainable development is to provide resources for present generations without compromising the needs of future generations.

The economy cannot be based on the use of non-renewable resources such as coal, petroleum, because these resources cannot be replenished. A truly sustainable resource does not degrade environmental quality.

Over-exploitation of natural resources leads to the exhaustion of the resources. Therefore, the current resources cannot be used at the same pace as nothing will be left for future generations.

                            Unit 2 Activity 1: Blogging Directions: Make a blog on the webpage on the difference between patriotism and nationalism.                           "DEFINITION"  Patriotism comes from the Latin word, “pater” which means father. It means love for or devotion to one’s country in the sense of children owning utmost gratitude and loyalty to their parents. As such, it has become a sentiment; that is, “a feeling exalted by emotion and clarified by ideas.” It beautifies the country’s realities into “something higher, nobler and sweeter.” It inspires heroic deeds, it urges to the greatest sacrifices, it endures all trials. As a virtue, patriotism belong to a habitual state, hence our everyday life inclines to good, not to evil (Turner, 1926) Nationalism is an idea and movement that holds that the nation should be congruent with the state. As a movement, nationalism tends to promote the interests of a particular nation (as in a
