Human Rights Violation: The Case of Extra Judicial Killings of Media Personnel
Abstract
The premise is that regardless of the age, an individual has rights, and that media personnel’s rights are human rights also. As such, many international human rights instruments recognise these media personnel’s rights and strongly condemn violation of such rights. One apparent violation of the human rights of the media personnel is extra judicial killing. Extra judicial killing refers to an illegal killing of anyone from these categories: political figures, trade union leaders and members, dissident, media and other social figures such as from the government. This study will explore the extent of extra judicial killings involving media personnel. The study will treat extra judicial killing as the most common form of human rights violation of media personnel.
Significance of the Study
This study is significant with the understanding of the prevalence of extra judicial killing intended for media personnel. The research could contribute to understanding the serious implications of such not just for the government that is tainted with extra judicial killings but also for the future of media broadcasting and the society as a whole. The results can also contribute to the scarce studies written for this topic. For the students, the research may serve as a reference for future researches. New issues will presented and, from there, provide other researchers a topic which they can explore themselves.
Goal of the Study
The main aim of the study is to investigate extra judicial killing in Philippine context. The specific objectives include: 1) to determine the motivation behind the killing (political, economic, religious, etc.); 2) to distinguish in what specific ways extra judicial killing limp the media industry; 3) to study actions of the media agencies and authorities about the problem of extra judicial killings and 4) to recommend ways on how to minimise or completely abolish extra judicial killings.
Child Abuse: The Case of Early Child Labor in the Philippines
Abstract
Poverty is often invoked as a reason for child labor. Poverty reasons include paying for debt, low benefits from employment, payment for education and lack of recourse to public funds. There are families who are unable to support their children which make these children an easy prey for the trade beyond particularly when it comes to their education. These lead them to be uneducated with no skills and poor educational background and because of lack of alternatives in the end they end up as full-time laborers while some end up starting their own families at a very young age. As cyclical as it is, children from parents who are uneducated often becomes child laborers themselves. Child abuse has been considered the primary reason of the increasing number of child laborers. Abusive practices are often employed to forcefully involve a child to labor for the sake of the family’s needs. Although it is still rooted in poverty, one aspect that best justifies this situation is the power imbalance, that is, between parents or guardians and the child. The study will investigate child labor in the Philippines as an abusive practice.
Significance of the Study
The study will be a significant endeavor in establishing the prevalence of child labor in Philippine context. The study will be helpful to policymakers in the area so that they can distinguish, analyse and evaluate the current performance of the government in addressing the problem of child labor and how it can be eradicated in the future. Moreover, this study will be an important contribution to a body of research concerning the child abuse and child labor.
Goal of the Study
The main aim of the study is to investigate child labor as an abusive practice that is rooting from poverty. Generally, the research will be conducted to understand the interplay between child abuse and child labor. In particular, the study purports to: 1) analyse familial patterns how child abuse eventually becomes child labor; 2) evaluate how child abuse and child labor undermines the quality of lives of the children academically and otherwise.
Early Pregnancy: The Effect of Sub-standard Educational Opportunity
Abstract
Teenage pregnancy is simply defined as a teenaged or underage girl becoming pregnant. The term connotes that the girl has not yet reached legal adulthood before conceiving. A teenage girl may become pregnant because of various reasons or situations but all teenage pregnancies are a result of sexual activities either voluntary or not. One of the most traumatic and devastating effects of teenage pregnancy is making it difficult for the girl to continue with her education. Drop-out rates, repeaters, poor scoring and unable to graduate are the academic consequences of teenage pregnancy. This paper proposes to explore how teenage pregnancy affects academic progression.
Significance of the Study
I am expecting a role in the social schema. It is my role to contribute to literatures concerning social processes such as early pregnancy. In addition, this study will be important for parents, teachers, school authorities and authorities because it will increase their understanding of the prevalence of teen pregnancy that is brought by sub-standard education. For educational policy makers, the importance of educational materials and contents of the curriculum could be addressed through this study.
Goal of the Study
The main aim of the study is to explore how sub-standard education implicates early childbearing. It also purports to: 1) evaluate how teenage pregnancy affects the academic progression of the teenagers as well as 2) to determine the changes in academic performance, achievement and progressions of the teenagers when becoming pregnant and 3) determine the perceptions, attitudes and beliefs of the pregnant teenagers about their education.
