What is It
Concept paper is an academic writing that presents a short summary that tells
the reader what the project is, why it is important, and how it will be carried out. Even
if no one else ever reads it, the concept paper helps a researcher spot hole in her or
his project that might later prove fatal (Kimper, nd).
1. A title in the form of a question. This may be the last part of the concept
paper that you write, but it should appear at the heading of the paper.
3. A one-sentence statement of the research question that the project will seek
to answer. (This is almost always something that is not known.) The concept
paper should elaborate on how this question can be answered -- something that
almost always takes more than one sentence to accomplish.

WHAT ARE THE PARTS OF A CONCEPT PAPER?
Mainly, concept paper has three MAJOR parts. The diagram below illustrates
parts of a concept paper and its definition are presented after the diagram.
Introduction
Body
Conclusion
Introduction – It is to present the scope and purpose of your paper. This section
explains the overall idea of your claim.
Body – It is the main section of the concept paper. In this part, you will elaborate
on the specific claims made in your thesis statement. To make your work
manageable, consider developing topic sentence for each supporting point from
your thesis statement. These topic sentences will then be used as the main idea of
each paragraph to make up the body of the essay.
What’s More
LET’S EVALUATE YOUR LEARNING. For activities 1.1 and 1.2, neatly and
legibly write your answers on a one-half lengthwise sheet of paper.

has long wanted for herself. She may have won the battle against men for equal
opportunity; but, she has lost and forgotten the spirit that drove her to win the battle.
She can hardly recognize herself, perhaps, who she had been, as an individual who
once had an underrated self-image. But declining economy remains clear to her.
Now, her true objective in her display of deliberate obsession to fair in the
formerly man’s world then needs disambiguation. Did she fight for self-actualization
because she wanted to pursue a career in the field of her choice or, did she fight for
the inadequacies of men in her family that cripple its function? Her present actions
seemingly prove her presence for the latter. Perhaps she thinks of herself as messiah,
and uses the same strength and freedom that she has acquired from her battle for
equality to save and rescue her family. She has become indifferent to her needs again-
caged, caged in her pretense. She flaunts her strength, her talents, her unwavering
confidence; she uses her resources and takes responsibility of her family; she
exercises her freedom to penetrate fields she can be good at; she works hard for
others and forgets about her own self, again. She has turned into an unimaginably
powerful person, who does everything she can possibly think of and defies anyone
who challenges her otherwise. She is the spirit who overshadows even the real person
within herself. She has enough comparison for her family; yet, she has not left any for
herself.

What's Wrong with Filipino Art and Why is It Under-appreciated? (An excerpt)
Art is present in so many of the places we go to and the things we do. We might scroll
past most Instagram posts that we see, without thinking how each photo or video has several
elements in it that make it look appealing to people. We weave our paths through the city every
day, and we rarely see how the buildings are carefully designed and how the billboards are
strategically done. We use and consume so many products per day, yet we fail to really
appreciate the way they are presented to us. We listen to music, we appreciate the aesthetics
of a post, we read books, we watch endless videos on our suggested list. But how much of it
do we really pay attention to?
There are those who are still unaware of how it will always have a presence in our daily
lives, from the packaging of our favorite products to the shows we enjoy. Art has been looked
down on, especially local art. We may have been educated again and again about colonial
mentality and its effects, yet we still do not have enough appreciation for our own.
First, let's identify why this is a problem. Filipino art hasn't entirely been put on a high
pedestal in years. There are great artists like Fernando Amorsolo and Juan Luna, who will
always be remembered in history books and will always be familiar names. But these artists
and their work, albeit should not be forgotten, aren't the only ones that we should know about.
More recent artists are often shunned, saying that their work is unoriginal or not meeting a
certain standard or not as good as their Western counterparts. It's seen as if our art is only
limited to a certain template, and cannot be more, cannot be as interesting, cannot be worth
our time.
They couldn't make a change in our viewpoints even if they wanted to, because our
expression is silenced…

B. Business
Business ethics (also known as Corporate ethics) is a form of applied ethics or professional
ethics that examines ethical principles and moral or ethical problems that arise in a business
109
16
environment. It applies to all aspects of business conduct and is relevant to the conduct of
individuals and business organisations as a whole. (Wikipedia) Most people agree that high
ethical standards require both businesses and individuals to conform to sound moral
principles. However, some special aspects must be considered when applying ethics to
business. To survive, businesses must make a profit. If profits are realised by misconduct then
the life of the business may be short lived. The business must balance their desires for profits
against the needs and desires of society. Maintaining this balance can be difficult. To help with
this, society has developed rules – both legal and implicit – to guide the business in their efforts
to earn profits in ways that will not harm individuals or society as a whole. (Ferrell, Fraedrich,
Ferrell, 2002.)
One difference between an ordinary decision and an ethical one lies in “the point where
the accepted rules no longer serve, and the decision maker is faced with the responsibility for
weighing values and reaching a judgement in a situation which is not quite the same as any
he or she faced before”. (Ferrell, Fraedrich, 1994) Ethics is not simply a glorified intellectual
game, of no practical relevance. We become moral individuals by practice; good at being
truthful by habitually telling the truth; becoming honest by trying always not to be dishonest.
There is nothing abstract about business ethics. It is simply another tool to help the practical
business man or woman deal with the endlessly recurring moral dilemmas of business life.
There is a connection between our perception of the world and the way in which we make
decisions in the world. If managers believe that they are and ought to be rational egoists,
concerned only with maximising profit, they will take the decisions accordingly. If, on the other
hand, they are aware of moral theories and social policies that affect their own societies and
the wider world, then they will be likely to make rather different and more sophisticated
judgements, (Vallance, 1995).
The idea of ethics in business focuses on the moral or ethical actions of individuals. It is in
this sense that many people, when discussing business ethics, immediately raise examples
of immoral or unethical activity by individuals. (Richard T De George) Many business people
are strongly influenced by their religious beliefs and the ethical norms that they have been
taught as part of their religion, and apply these norms in their business activities. A prime
example is Aaron Feuerstein, whose actions after fire destroyed almost all of his Malden Mills
factory complex kept his workers on the payroll until he could rebuild. He has stated often and
publicly that he just did what his Jewish faith told him was the right thing to do

Today, the pen can very well be a “tap” of a button, as social media has reinvented our
way of life anew -- for good or for bad. Regardless of political affiliation or social philosophy, it
is undeniable how the power of social media has shaped recent events.
In the Philippines, many attribute President Duterte’s electoral victory to a strong social media
presence and awareness from supporters and detractors alike. Similarly, in the United States,
President Trump’s astounding victory may not have been predictable on the basis on old
measures of popularity, but perhaps to a more subtle, even subliminal influence, perhaps
attributable to social media as well.
Unfortunately, when people log into their social media accounts, some tend to shed
normal sensibilities or even basic civility. This is the same phenomenon that perhaps gives
rise to the anomaly of Philippine vehicular traffic, where the polite and non-confrontational is
shed for disrespectful and sometimes barbaric behavior leading to the Gordian knot that is
Philippine traffic.
Part of this is the cloak of perceived anonymity that social media brings. We therefore
sometimes see posts or commentaries meant to embarrass competence and intelligence,
gender, or just plain rumor-mongering.
However, even when done behind the cloak of a social media platform may have legal
implications under our present laws.
Social media is a powerful tool. It is always best to set a limit on which issues to react to
or which people direct a post to.
While freedom of speech is well-enshrined in our Constitution, this right is not without any
limitations.
In the end, it is always best to devote the stroke of our fingers and the clicks of our mouse
to intellectual discourse rather than risk being held liable under our present laws. After all, the
power of our minds should be mightier than any sword there is.

D. Philosophy
Morality Defined
Morality speaks of a system of behavior in regards to standards of right or wrong
behavior. The word carries the concepts of: (1) moral standards, with regard to behavior;
(2) moral responsibility, referring to our conscience; and (3) a moral identity, or one who is
capable of right or wrong action. Common synonyms include ethics, principles, virtue, and
goodness. Morality has become a complicated issue in the multi-cultural world we live in
today. Let's explore what morality is, how it affects our behavior, our conscience, our
society, and our ultimate destiny.
111
18
Morality and Our Behavior
Morality describes the principles that govern our behavior. Without these principles
in place, societies cannot survive for long. In today's world, morality is frequently thought
of as belonging to a particular religious point of view, but by definition, we see that this is
not the case. Everyone adheres to a moral doctrine of some kind.
Morality as it relates to our behavior is important on three levels. Renowned thinker,
scholar and author C.S. Lewis defines them as: (1) to ensure fair play and harmony
between individuals; (2) to help make us good people in order to have a good society; and
(3) to keep us in a good relationship with the power that created us. Based on this
definition, it's clear that our beliefs are critical to our moral behavior.

It is very important to care about politics because you should know what is going on
around you. Also, it is important to have a say in what is going on around you. The political
decisions people make will affect many lives. Many people see politics as the government
and the laws being made, and that is true, but it is way more complicated than that. Every
law that is made will impact many. Sometimes the decisions will affect people in a bad
way. Every vote that you make will either break people or make people.
One reason you should care about politics is because you should always know what
is going on around you. For example, if a new law is made is made in your area, you might
want to make sure that you and the people around you know that a new law has been
made so that no one breaks the law without even knowing it. Also, if something dangerous
is happening around you or someone you know, you want to be aware if someone is
breaking the law. It is very important to know what is happening around you.
Another reason you should care about politics is because you should have a say in
what will happen. Everyone should have a say in what will happen, because we all live
side by side with each other, and it would not be fair if someone was left out. Also, each
112
19
vote makes a difference in the ways that we live. It is always important to to share your
opinion. The way you vote will affect many people, and their everyday life.
Finally, you should care about politics because the decisions people make will affect
many lives. For example, if someone wanted to build on land, it might be good for the
people who worked in the area, but residents who lived nearby and loved the land and
relied on the land for water and food, might be devastated. Sometimes things that sound
like good ideas might be very devastating later.
F. Religion
What is true religion? Is there just one true religion or do all of them lead to the
afterlife? Religion is defined as: “a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices
generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects: the Christian religion; the Buddhist
religion.”1
It is estimated that only 16% of the world considers themselves “nonreligious.”2 There are
two things that all religions hold as truth. 1) Humanity is separated from God. 2) Humanity
needs to be reconciled with God. The differences come in how that reconciliation is
acquired.
Many religions focus on rules and rituals. When those rules are followed or those
rituals are performed, the person is attempting to be made right with God or gain His favor.
For example, in Islam there are five pillars that one must do in order to show surrender or
submission to God. Other religions focus more on observing rituals, rather than following
rules. After those rituals are performed, it is taught that God will accept the person who
performed them.
Christianity presents a very different view of finding the acceptance of God. While
the other religions attempt to reach God, Christianity is about God reaching down to man.
The Bible teaches that God sent His perfect Son Jesus to earth to die for the sins of
mankind—as a perfect sacrifice. Other world religions try to balance the scales of their
good and bad deeds, hoping to have more good deeds on the day they die. Christianity
teaches a very different message.
113
20
You may be saying, “But Christians have all sorts of rules and rituals!” You’re right, many
Christians have a code of morality they follow, but there is a crucial distinction. Those rules
and rituals are done out of a thankfulness to God and a desire to live a clean and holy life.
Those rules and rituals are not done to obtain reconciliation with God or to earn God’s
favor.
G. Science
Modern science: What's changing? (An excerpt)
When Gregor Mendel began his investigations of plant genetics in the 1800s, he
worked alone — a middle-aged European monk counting peas in the abbey garden. One
hundred and fifty years later, modern plant genetics laboratories, like Chelsea Specht's
below, look a lot more diverse and employ the latest DNA sequencing techniques. When
J.J. Thomson discovered a new particle of matter — the electron — at the turn of the
century, his lab equipment mainly consisted of vacuum tubes, magnets, and some simple
wiring. One hundred years later, scientists searching for new particles like the Higgs boson
use a supercollider — a 17-mile-long machine that costs several billion dollars and will
produce data to be analyzed by the most powerful supercomputer in the world. Science
has come a long way in the last 150 years! We now have more powerful data analysis
techniques, more sophisticated equipment for making observations and running
experiments, and a much greater breadth and depth of scientific knowledge. And as the
attitudes of the broader society have progressed, science has benefited from the
expanding diversity of perspectives offered by its participants. But what about the process
of science itself? Has this fundamental aspect of the scientific enterprise changed over
time?
Science will always look for explanations for what goes on in the natural world and test
those explanations against evidence from the natural world — but exactly how this gets
done may evolve. The scientific enterprise is not static. Science is deeply interwoven with
society, and as it has changed, so too has science. Here are just a few examples of how
modern scientific practices have been transformed by increasing knowledge, changing
societal concerns, and advances in communication and technology.

H. Sports
Sport plays an integral part in our lives. In addition to making people healthier, it also
provides an excellent way of managing free time. We all require a break from anything we
take part in, for instance working, learning in class or simply sitting at home (Nina &Cronin,
2002). A little bit of activity like sport is crucial in our lives. Different persons like different
forms of sports. The different disciplines consist of swimming, running, and skating. These
ones are the cheapest, which are mostly available and affordable. The external games
need equipment, which in most cases is very expensive. They need strength as well as
courage. These forms of sports are also regarded as addictive and hazardous to the
human body. Examples of such kinds of sports include rugby, as well as mountaineering.
Sport is most popular among the young, without forgetting the old. Quite a number
of people participate in morning cardiovascular exercise such as jogging. Others train
themselves in various groups and take part in competitions. Still others like sports but only
by watching while others listen to the news concerning them. Reading interesting stories
about sportsmen is a preference for many people. However, physical exercises is
generally helpful in making our physique strong and improving our mental capabilities.
Therefore any person who aspires to keep himself fit must fully take part in sports and
games.
Fitness involves the combination of the composition of the body and the performance
of the muscles. The resultant effect is that it reduces the risks that lead to heart disease
and high blood pressure. Aerobic exercise that entails steady and constant activity of the
muscles leads to an increase in the demand for oxygen by the body. Therefore aerobic
exercises work the muscle of the heart making it larger and stronger (Chandler, 2005).
The examples of such exercise are walking, swimming and cycling. Good health can be
considered a blessing of some sort. It is therefore essential that everyone gets involved in
sport to stay healthy. To be healthy means having the body and mind in their best working
115
22
condition and this entails being free from illnesses as well as pain. As it is said: “A mind
that is sound reflects a sound body,” (Chandler, 2005).
I. Home Economics
Since its beginning, the hotel industry has constantly evolved and transformed to
meet the changing needs of travelers. While the industry has always been innovative, the
recent advancements in technology have catapulted the industry into unprecedented
change.
Starting as a necessity for wandering travelers, the hospitality industry has certainly
come a long way. However, before we can predict the future of the industry, it's important
to understand the current trends in the hospitality industry and how it grew into the billion
dollar industry it is today.
The Past
Since our ancestors roamed the Earth, people have been providing hospitality.
However, the experience a guest may have had centuries ago is quite different than the
one we experience today.
In early biblical times, "hotels" were mainly hospitable townsfolk who opened their
homes to weary travelers. Most visits lasted only one night, with the guest continuing their
travels in the morning. In comparison, villages in early Greece built thermal baths for
travelers to rest their joints and muscles. These travelers did not spend the night, the baths
simply provided them with the recuperation they needed. It wasn't until the year 1200 more
permanent hotels were built. Though they were modest structures, they lay the foundation
for the intricate hotel facilities we're accustomed to today.
The 15th century saw a breakthrough in the hotel industry. French law required hotel
managers to keep track of guests through a registry, to which other countries soon
followed. More hotels were built, each with an increased focus on guest amenities. The
next century saw the introduction of hotel advertising, with the first "guidebooks" published
promoting the best establishments. Another major development occurred during the
Industrial Revolution. The century's technological, economical and social developments
made travel more accessible for all people, not just the wealthy.
This momentum continued into the 20th century, where the population increase,
urbanization and economic prosperity in industrial nations prompted further growth from
the hospitality industry. This increase in demand triggered more properties to open and
encouraged diversity.
116
23
While the hospitality industry has only continued to grow since, the current trends in
the hospitality industry still reflect the needs of society.
The Present
Flashforward to today, travel is even more frequent. The hotel industry has continued
to evolve alongside changing demographic trends and technological advancements and
became a highly complex segment of the economy. Now, the current trends in the
hospitality industry revolve around comfort and exceptional guest service.
As shown throughout its history, the hospitality industry is constantly changing. For
hospitality professionals to remain competitive, it is ever more crucial to stay current on
the trends in hospitality 2018.
The Future
With that in mind, hospitality professionals all over the world are wondering: "what is
the future of hospitality?".MicroMetrics The Future of Hospitality 2018 Research Report
While nothing can be determined for certain, the opportunities and threats listed in the
above infographic will definitely play a major role and be trends in hospitality 2018.

J. Agri-fishery
For all the positive effects aquaculture can have on food security and conservation
of wild fisheries, it can also pose serious environmental risks and create sustainability
challenges.
One of the environmental impacts that receives the most attention is the issue of
nutrient and effluent buildup on the sea floor below the cages. Because the fish are
contained in one place at high densities, their waste – which includes both solids and
dissolved nutrients like nitrogen – has the potential to build up below the cages and in the
117
24
surrounding area. This creates the potential for algal blooms, which deplete the water of
oxygen and can create damaging dead zones near aquaculture sites. Regulatory agencies
have recognized these problems and implemented measures to prevent them, including
siting the cages in places with strong currents to wash away the effluent and moving the
cages from year to year to reduce impact on any one area.
Another environmental concern is the effect of the farmed fish on local wild fisheries.
Disease and parasite outbreaks in fish farms, though infrequent, can spread rapidly among
farmed fish because of the high densities at which they are kept, and disease may spread
to wild fish populations. Fish farmers used to combat these outbreaks with antibiotics and
other chemicals in fish feed, but this created concern about the effect of the drugs on the
ecosystems around the cages, as well as residual antibiotics winding up on consumers’
plates. More recently, safe and effective vaccinations for farmed fish have been developed
and are widely used, and the use of antibiotics in aquaculture has almost ceased in the
United States.
Another major concern is that escapees from fish farms—particularly where farmed
species are non-native—may compete with fish from wild populations for food, potentially
displacing wild fish. Cages are closely monitored by underwater cameras and regularly
inspected by divers for damage, so the frequency of escape is minimal. There are also
concerns about farmed fish interbreeding with wild fish and affecting the gene pool of the
wild stock, but these concerns have been lessened by the exclusive use of genetically
modified, sterile females in finfish aquaculture.
Some aquaculture operations can even have positive effects on environmental and
human health. Farmed fish are generally free of environmental contaminants such as
mercury and heavy metals, since they eat exclusively human-processed feed for which
toxin levels are regulated. In addition, the farming of filter feeders such as shellfish can
improve water quality, and in fact shellfish are often integrated into finfish production in
integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems, also known as polyculture. Because
shellfish are filter feeders, they use uneaten feed and elements of fish waste as food, and
can be cultivated near nets and cages containing finfish to improve water quality and even
protect against disease outbreaks. Polyculture systems, which can also involve seaweed
cultivation, are prominent in Maine, and there is ongoing polyculture research at schools
like the University of Maine, the University of New Hampshire, and many others.
In addition to environmental risks, concerns about the long-term sustainability of
aquaculture in meeting our protein needs remain.

Jobs In Industrial Art
The term "industrial arts" generally refers to anything that involves the use of tools,
machinery and mechanical systems. Traditionally, industrial arts classes were the shop
classes in high school, such as metal shop or woodworking. Today, industrial arts
encompasses traditional shop training as well as advanced systems, such as robotics,
electronics and mechanical design.
Industrial Engineering
Industrial engineers determine the most effective ways make a product or material
work. They study products and their requirements; develop management-control systems;
and determine how to most efficiently combine raw materials, construction, costs and
transportation. Becoming an industrial engineer requires a college degree and a
background in mathematics and the physical sciences. A degree in industrial engineering
might include courses in operations research, production and inventory control, probability
and statistics, and information systems.
Mechanical Design
Mechanical designers are also known as drafters and computer-aided design and
drafting operators. They craft plans for products; structural and architectural projects;
designs and mechanical parts and tools. Aeronautical drafters prepare drawings used in
manufacturing aircraft and missiles; architectural drafters draw plans for construction
projects; and mechanical drafters prepare layouts that show details for a wide variety of
machinery and mechanical devices. To become a mechanical designer typically requires
at least an associate degree and preferably a bachelor's degree.
Teaching
Tomorrow's industrial arts professionals will always need good teachers. Industrial
arts teachers can teach small engine repair, ventilation systems design, welding and metal
working. They also can teach computer repair, graphic design and computer-aided design.
Typically, this is a career path for teaching high school, which means a career requires at
least a bachelor's degree. Teaching requirements vary by state and district, but typically,
industrial arts teachers need to complete a degree program in the field.
