Junk Shop in General Santos City
General Santos City is gifted with favorable climate and land resources. The city is accessible by air, sea, and land transport. There is also a presence of adequate communication facilities that enables the businessman to get in touch and go into business with customers here and in other places. By the presence of this infrastructure, it could be easy to put up or operate business.
One of the businesses here in General Santos City is a junkshops. It is a shop where junk materials is being bought and sold such as empty bottles, scrap iron, metals, cullet and plastics, etc.
People produce gaseous waste, such as Carbon Monoxide from cars; LIQUID waste, such as sewage, and solid waste. The almost countless kinds of solid waste include paper, and plastic products, glass bottles, aluminum and steel cans, garbage and junked automobiles. Solid waste is also called refuse. If not disposed properly, it looks ugly; smell fouls, and attracts insects, rats, and other animals that spread diseases.
People produces million of tons of solid waste each year, and the production increasing rapidly. They also produce more and more wastes that are difficult to handle. For example, tin and steel cans that rust and become a part of the soil are being replaced by aluminum cans that stay in their original state for years. Paper packaging that decays slowly and gives off gases when burned.
Scientist has developed ways of recycling many wastes so they can be used again. Extensive recycling would greatly reduce the amount of waste that must be burned or buried.
Recycling waste and used materials for some useful purpose is an effective of conserving resources, of producing waste disposal, and often, of cutting costs. Some materials can be reused for their original purpose. The most obvious example is the beverage container. Used only once and discarded, a can or bottles adds to the solid waste flow, replacing it is costly and increases the pollution caused by manufacturing. Returnable beverage bottle on the other hand, can average 15- 20 fillings before breaking. Waste materials can also be reused in the manufacture of new products. The recovery and reforming of paper, glass, and metals are prominent example of such recycling.
Recycling is the processing of waste to recover materials that can be used. Recycling helps conserve natural resources that otherwise would be used by manufacturers. It also helps reduce the pollution that may result from the disposal of various waste materials.

Social Acceptance
Humans seem to be motivated much of the time by learned needs derived from their socialization into their culture and society. One of these learned needs is the desire for social acceptance, to have others value one as a person and respond warmly to one’s actions.
The need for social acceptance may be developed through learning that the acceptance and approval of ones parents and peers enables one to receive more basic rewards from others.
One of the learned needs that act as a powerful motive in human actions is the need for social acceptance. The degree to which a person can be influenced by the approval of others depends upon his situational deprivation of social acceptance. The need for social acceptance represents the basis for enduring interpersonal relationships.
Another personality characteristic with especially important implications for social acceptance is the tendency to seek the approval of others. Most people at least a little about having others like them and approve of them, but people do differ in how much they care. Some people are especially concerned that others regard them favorably.
Falling in love, making friends, experiencing the warmth, comradeship, and intimacy of close personal relationships is one of the most exciting aspects of being alive. Much of human society and action seems based upon attraction individuals have for each other. To a special psychologist it becomes interesting to ask how do individuals become friends, why did Joemark fall in love with Almirah and not Jane? Why did Almirah fall in love with Jeff and not to Joemark? What causes the deep pain often experienced where two close friends move to different communities?
The need for positive approval is so strong that the inability to obtain acceptance is basic to many forms of mental illness. A child who is not loved or accepted or approved by his parents, peers, or teachers may develop serious incapacities in relating to others which lead him to behave in ways that are defined as “mentally ill” in his society.
Adolescents are tremendously sensitive to social stimuli, no other problem seem to them as important as the establishment of themselves in their own society. They react faster and more deeply to the influenced of their age- mates than to that of adults. High school boys and girls tend to form small, shut-in cliques, the member of which is intensely loyal to each other and highly critical of outsiders.

Why Do Breastfeeding Important to Both Mother and Baby?
Ang Tubag:
Extensive medical research shows that mothers' milk satisfies babies' nutritional needs far better than any manufactured infant formula. It also protects babies against many common infectious diseases and certain inflammatory diseases, and probably helps lower the risk of a child later developing diabetes, lymphoma and some types of leukemia.
These conclusions appear in a major new review of the medical literature published this month entitled Benefits and Risks of Breastfeeding.
The article, surveys both risks and benefits associated with breastfeeding. Many mothers and medical professionals may not understand that a great number of protective factors unique to human milk are provided by breastfeeding and how much breastfeeding's benefits outweigh its rare but often well-publicized risks, said Dr. Armond Goldman, senior author of the paper and professor emeritus of pediatrics at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
In the United States, this misunderstanding of benefits versus risks -- in addition to social factors such as less generous maternity leave policies and poor preventive health care for much of the population -- has helped keep the rates of initiation and continuation of breastfeeding in the U.S. lower than those in most developed countries, Goldman said.
Coincidentally, the paper appeared online just before the Washington Post reported on Aug. 31 that lobbyists for the infant formula industry had succeeded in getting the federal Department of Health and Human Services to tone down a government-sponsored "attention-grabbing advertising campaign" in 2004 designed to convince mothers that their babies faced real health risks if they did not breastfeed.
A congressional investigation is examining the allegations in the Post report, which emphasized the low rate of breastfeeding in the U.S. compared with that of other industrialized nations.
In the Advances in Pediatrics paper, said Goldman, "we tried to clarify the benefits and risks, by putting together a definitive review of both sides of the issue." He added: "Substantially more physicians and members of the public should recognize that the overall benefits of breastfeeding are much greater and the overall risks are much less than are benefits and risks from feedings using commercial infant formulas." Goldman continued, "If you understand the potential risks, most can be identified during pregnancy or shortly after birth and can be prevented or minimized."
UTMB professor of pediatrics David K. Rassin, a co-author of the paper (with Baylor College of Medicine assistant professor of pediatrics Judy M. Hopkinson), said, "Although many of us assume that everyone knows breastfeeding is best for infants and the American Academy of Pediatrics has come out with really strong recommendations in favor of it, the prevalence of breastfeeding in the United States is only about 65 percent right now." Rassin elaborated: "Historically, we had a rapid increase from about 25 percent in the Sixties up to the area of 60 percent in the late Eighties, and it's only very gradually crept up since then."
"Within the United States, where we've got clean water and don't have a lot of the diseases associated with formula feeding in Third World countries, I think we still have this concept that there really isn't any difference between breastfeeding and formula feeding," Rassin said. "One of the points we tried to make in this article is that even in this country there are definitely some health risks associated with formula feeding -- they just tend to involve diseases that take a long time to emerge but may reflect lack of breastfeeding."
In countries where clean water is unavailable to much of the population, statistics show that breastfeeding significantly reduces infant mortality. However, in some areas, such as sub-Saharan Africa, the possibility of HIV transmission through breast milk makes the risk-benefit calculation more difficult, the paper's authors note.
"Certainly in the U.S. at the moment, it would be recommended that an HIV-infected mom not breastfeed," Rassin said. "But if you look at a poor sub-Saharan African nation and try to balance off the high risks of a child dying because of a severe gastrointestinal infection from dirty water in formula versus the potential for getting HIV infection from the mom, it's a tough call. Probably, you would tend to say breastfeeding would be better in that circumstance than not breastfeeding."
Other risks identified by the authors include an insufficient transfer of breast milk, leading to dehydration and growth failure in the infant; certain vitamin deficiencies such as Vitamin D in human milk; the possibility that allergens consumed by the mother and passed to the nursing infant could cause adverse reactions; the transmission of a serious infection during breastfeeding; the exposure of an infant to certain toxic medications that are excreted in human milk; and rare genetic defects in the infant that prevent the digestion and metabolism of the milk constituents lactose, galactose and phenylalanine.
Except for genetic disorders and some infectious diseases, the authors say, none of these risks absolutely precludes breastfeeding if preventive measures are taken. In particular, Rassin said, making sure new mothers have learned proper breastfeeding technique is critical to ensuring babies get enough breast milk to keep them hydrated and growing. "The way we manage newborns now, getting them out of the hospital in 24 or 48 hours, that's not enough time to really get a mom established on breastfeeding, and moms need the appropriate support to begin the behavior," Rassin said. "It is a natural behavior, but it's not always an easy behavior to get established -- in fact, it can be very difficult during the first couple of weeks."
Goldman also emphasized the need for better physician education on breastfeeding. "It's important that physicians and others in the health care profession understand the benefits and risks of breastfeeding, recognize problems when they occur and help mothers with them," Goldman said. "Part of the difficulty is that there is insufficient time in most medical schools and most residency training programs in pediatrics, obstetrics or family medicine to more fully educate medical trainees about this important public health issue."

No man stand alone
Each man's joy is joy to me
Each man's grief is my own.
We need one another
So I will defend,
Each man is my brother,
Each man is my friend.
I saw the people gather,
I heard the music starts,
The song that they were singing
Is rising my heart...
