spiral of silence
Campaign season is very much felt nowadays. Never would you see a place where no poster of a politician is around. Also, a new 'trend' in campaigning is now in tv commercials which I think is effective if you really want people to notice (hello? all of us is "lss-ed"(is there such word?haha) from Manny Villar's jingle for the nth time).
But what is it that really makes the cut for us to vote for these people?
qualities that we want:
- competence
- experience
- integrity
- moral values
- clean
- popular
- impossible promises (i.e. "Wala nang magiging mahirap"- some presidentiable)
- looks "kind"
- helped some people
- a relative of some established politician
The answer, I think, is the theory called Spiral of Silence.
Spiral of silence is about public opinion. When majority of the people share (or brag) about their thoughts, the minority tends not to share what they have in mind. Instead, they just keep these thoughts to themselves and eventually, they would also have the same mentality as the majority. It's like the minority's opinion is headed to a downward spiral until it's gone.
Fear of isolation is what drives this spiral. Obviously, if there's someone who deviates about something, the majority would find this person to be an outcast or someone who rebels, and thus creating a strain in their relationship.
My advice? Do not debate on which politician should win. Do not justify to people why you want them. My friend said that she wants to vote for Gibo Teodoro, but she thinks he won't win so she would vote for Noynoy Aquino. See? How could a candidate win if you would not vote for him? Just because there are POPULAR choices out there, does not mean that they will be the ones to win! The power is on us, the people. We are the ones that should decide.
I'm not saying that we should not listen to the "populars" but I think we should consider what we REALLY want and not the media/people imposes on us.
We have our own minds.
We have our own opinion.
We are unique.

break!
I have been studying for some hours now and I think I deserve a break!
I got an idea of listing my favorite exam types,haha
5. Multiple Choice- This would have been at the top of my list but boy it is not as easy as it looks! Sometimes the choices are so similar that it makes you confused. The teacher would say "Use your best judgment" or "Choose the best answer". But the good thing is, the answer is there. It exists! You just have to look for it. haha. Elimination would help. And if you really don't know what to answer, there's eeny-meeny minie moe method or the C method :D What I usually do is that I read the words and then I'll rely on the one which I "feel" is the best answer. (Nah, does not work) haha
4. Problem solving- i love math but math does not love me. period. I get the processes but there's just something evil about exam questions that would make you say: "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS?!". The good thing about it though is that even if you did not get the exact answer, the teacher would still give you partial points (which is what I'm always depending on) haha. Hey, you still tried! ;)
3. Essay- This is like problem solving but involves words. Whether you know a lot or a little about the question, you could still make them "lengthy". I think the technique is to make a long introduction and then just plug in the info that you know. Relaxing yourself while writing helps too. And when it asks about your opinion, edi walang tama o mali!
2. Analogy or Compare and Contrast- I don't know why i enjoy answering this type of question. Maybe because when i study, i would write down the comparisons of some ideas. Sometimes the questions would just want to test your common sense.
1. Identification- I love to memorize. haha. So, yeah, i like this. The technique here is to know the keywords of the definition and associate the terms to stuff. For example, the scientific name of sweet potato is Ipomoea batatas. Batatas sounds like patatas which is potato. There! It's easier to remember. Sometimes, if you really don't know the answer, you could "search" the multiple choice questions for some words that might be the answer you're looking for (it works sometimes!)
Okay! I'll go back to nerdville again. bye! I got an idea of listing my favorite exam types,haha

arti arti moment
oh! this week is all about acads. 3 exams + 2 reporting = stress! (but somehow I still have the time to post this) haha
This post was inspired by bubby (a beauty blog i follow. She's great!). Last Sunday, we had a family picnic and I was pretty bored waiting for the people to get ready so I spent my time putting on make-up and doing my hair, haha. I'm not a pro but i think I did okay :)
