Test I - Define the following terms with your own compression.(5pts. each item)
1. Social Media – Social media describes the ways in which individuals communicate with one
other by creating, sharing, and/or exchanging ideas and information through online groups
and networks.
5. Food Security – When everyone, everywhere, has physical and financial access to enough
safe, nourishing food that satisfies their dietary needs and food choices for an active and
healthy life, that is when food security is defined.
6. Climate change/Global Warming – While climate change encompasses both warming and
the “side effects” of warming, such as melting glaciers, stronger rainstorms, or more frequent
droughts, global warming solely refers to the Earth’s surface temperature rising. Put another
perspective, climate change brought on by human activity is a much bigger issue than global
warming.
Test II – Discuss the following statements in your own comprehension ( 10 pts. ) each
item
1. Discuss the bad effects of our population in a certain county like the Philippines?
The Philippines’ population has been a source of worry because of its quick increase and the
burden it places on infrastructure and resources. But it’s crucial to tackle this problem sensitively
and with regard for people’s individual and collective wellbeing. In order to combat population
expansion, efforts frequently concentrate on economic development, family planning resource
accessibility, and education. It’s a complicated problem with social, economic, and cultural facets
that calls for deliberative, inclusive dialogue.
Higher pay, greater job prospects, a higher standard of living, and access to education are pull
factors. More people will most likely relocate to nations with better economic prospects if current
conditions are unfavorable and seem to be headed for further decline.
Interest rate changes are the main tool used by monetary policy to manage inflation. However,
fiscal policy is one way that governments can help combat inflation. To assist lower inflation,
governments might raise taxes and cut spending.
o To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective
measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression
of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful
means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment
or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the
peace;
o To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal
rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to
strengthen universal peace;
o To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic,
social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for
human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex,
language, or religion; and
o To be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common
ends.
I would argue that the pressure for “synchronization” has significantly intensified as a result of
globalization, speaking as a Christian. The propensity to combine different customs and
ideologies into composite beliefs in an effort to reach a consensus and solidify positions.
Conflicts both inside and outside the organization then often result from this. It puts more
pressure on different groups to support their distinctive qualities. Paradoxically, this exacerbates
disagreements instead of reducing them.

1. A world going hungry? How conflict and Climate change disrupt Global Food
Supply?
In a literal sense, the fight against hunger is an existential one. However, there was a
moment when it appeared possible to win that conflict since production surpluses would have
meant there would be enough food for everyone. However, that ambition is now in jeopardy
due to climate change, conflict, and a dysfunctional food system. Due to the closure of its
Black Sea ports, including Odesa, Ukraine, a major supplier of wheat to the global
community, is unable to export grain. Millions of tons of grain are stranded in silos, leaving
the countries that depend on these supplies in a dire state. Tens of millions of people are at
risk of starvation and malnutrition in regions like Yemen and the Horn of Africa. The
humanitarian situations have gotten worse due to a lack of supplies.
Food insecurity is directly and significantly impacted by climate change. Food production
becomes more challenging and unpredictable as global temperatures rise because of altered
weather patterns, extreme weather events, and other environmental disruptions.
3. The 10 elements of Agroecology:
o Synergies: building synergies enhances key functions across food systems, supporting
production and multiple ecosystem services.
o Recycling: more recycling means agricultural production with lower economic and
environmental costs.
o Human and social values: protecting and improving rural livelihoods, equity and social
well-being is essential for sustainable food and agricultural systems.
o Circular and solidarity economy: circular and solidarity economies that reconnect
producers and consumers provide innovative solutions for living within our planetary
boundaries while ensuring the social foundation for inclusive and sustainable
development.
