WEB PORTAL

A web portal is a specially designed website that brings information from diverse sources, like emails, online forums and search engines, together in a uniform way. Usually, each information source gets its dedicated area on the page for displaying information (a portlet); often, the user can configure which ones to display. Variants of portals include mashups and intranet "dashboards" for executives and managers. The extent to which content is displayed in a "uniform way" may depend on the intended user and the intended purpose, as well as the diversity of the content. Very often design emphasis is on a certain "metaphor" for configuring and customizing the presentation of the content (e.g., a dashboard or map) and the chosen implementation framework or code libraries. In addition, the role of the user in an organization may determine which content can be added to the portal or deleted from the portal configuration.

A portal may use a search engine's application programming interface (API) to permit users to search intranet content as opposed to extranet content by restricting which domains may be searched. Apart from this common search engines feature, web portals may offer other services such as e-mail, news, stock quotes, information from databases and even entertainment content. Portals provide a way for enterprises and organizations to provide a consistent "look and feel" with access control and procedures for multiple applications and databases, which otherwise would have been different web entities at various URLs. The features available may be restricted by whether access is by an authorized and authenticated user (employee, member) or an anonymous website visitor.

WHAT IS FACEBOOK?

Facebook is a popular free social networking website that allows registered users to create profiles, upload photos and video, send messages and keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues. 

The Advantages of Facebook

Facebook for Networking

Facebook is arguably the most powerful social media and social networking site out there. You can use Facebook to connect with your family, friends, work colleagues, and you can even meet new people on Facebook.

Most people who know how to use a computer and internet have a profile on Facebook.

Moreover, it’s easy to find like-minded people by seeing their interests, and you can easily connect with them using wall updates, private messages, and video chats.

Facebook for Dating

Facebook is also known for finding dates.

The Disadvantages of Facebook

Facebook Privacy

One of the major concerns and disadvantages of Facebook has to do with Facebook’s privacy.

In the past, it has created a lot of buzz due to sudden changes, but now Facebook has simplified its privacy settings.

Another thing to consider has to do with the availability of really personal information, whether it’s in video, pictures, or text.

Here’s a good rule:

• Never give out too much personal information.

All throughout the internet, we should always keep in mind the privacy of our personal data. After it’s placed online, we lose all control.

• How To Remove Yourself From Facebook Public Search

The 3 Main Uses For Facebook

Keep In Touch With Faraway Family and Friends

Think of Facebook as a personal news site where the only stories written are about people you know. Facebook users like to share photos and write short updates on their life. You might get a friendly ‘just saying hi!’ email only once a month, but people interact with Facebook on a daily basis. So every time you log in to Facebook, you’ll see these updates and photos (only the ones from people who you have friended). You can write a little note underneath their posts. Or send them a private message (similar to an email but sent through Facebook instead). It’s a great way to see the everyday lives of friends and family that you can’t see every day.

Share Photos and Information

Facebook is for sharing. And if you want to stay up-to-date with technology, you’ll have to jump on the Facebook bandwagon. Now when people take digital photos, they – sometimes immediately – update them to Facebook. They can ‘tag’ other Facebook users in the photo too. This is the quickest and easiest way to share photos. Instead of using 5 different digital cameras to capture one photo, you can say, “Don’t bother taking out your camera, I’ll put up my picture on Facebook.” Another great thing about Facebook is that you can share links to articles or videos. If you want to send a favorite recipe to someone, you can just copy and paste a link onto their Facebook page. Or if you see something funny/cool/interesting that you think others would like, you can post it on Facebook for all of your Facebook friends to see.

PHILIPPINE POLITICS

* Politics in the Philippines has traditionally been dominated by clans and political bosses and patronage and is characterized by law makers that make decisions based on fiscal incentives rather that beliefs and voters that make choices based on personality rather than reasoned policies. Under the traditional itang na loob system of patronage, or obligation earned through favors, voters expect money or jobs in return for their political support. In many cases politician’s performance was based on dole-outs not on programs or policies. Philippine concepts about debt repayment and kinship responsibilities plays a major role in how political networks are set up and run (See FILIPINO CHARACTER AND PERSONALITY: HIYA, AMOR PROPIO Under People).

The Advantages of Political Parties

 1. Political parties encourage public participation.

Political parties, when structured within a representative form of government, encourage the average person to be politically active. They ask for people to become informed about specific situations that are happening within society so they can take a stand on those issues. Debates allow for people to express opinions or share ideas to formulate an informed opinion. Many political parties will even encourage members to run for political office at all levels of government.

2. Political parties create checks and balances.
In the United States, with two major political parties, the system is designed to bring politicians together so that negotiations occur over legislation. In other systems of government with multiple major political parties, negotiations over power and leadership are required to form a majority government. The goal of forming political parties is to create a system of checks and balances to prevent one person or one group from grabbing too much power in representative governments.

3. Political parties distribute information throughout society.In many elections, political parties are a primary source of information for current and future legislations. It’s the once chance for the general population to work with politicians to begin crafting a vision for the future. Although the voters must continue to press their politicians to stay true to their word in a representative form of government, they have access through the political party to do so.

4. Political parties water down special interest investments.
Without political parties, whomever had the most money to contribute would likely win elections and influence society. Political parties allow people with similar values or interests to congregate together to counter the monetary influences. That doesn’t mean special interests won’t work to persuade politicians through the party system – they do. The presence of the party means that the majority, the voters, have an opportunity to band together to counter the paid influences.

5. Political parties help decisions be made quicker.
The state of politics in the United States in 2017 might make it seem like this isn’t an advantage of political parties, but it generally is. When people can come together within the boundaries of the party, they can debate ideas and create legislation or policies that benefit everyone faster than if they were forced to do it themselves. The party must be managed properly for this advantage to appear, however, and that is often why this key point is not always seen.

6. Political parties create connections.
People are naturally attracted to others who share similar beliefs and ideas. This attraction allows people to network with one another, creating connections they might not have otherwise made. Involvement in a preferred party can mean making new friends, traveling new places, and being able to work toward making the world a better place.

The Disadvantages of Political Parties

1. Political parties can be abusive.
Not every government is a representative form of government. Communism has political parties. Dictatorships often use political parties. The purpose of the parties in these instances is usually more about enforcement of laws and expectations instead of being politically active from an individualized perspective. If a political party has too much strength or leverage within a society, it can become abusive.

2. Political parties encourage polarization.
Political parties do bring people together, but they also tear people apart. The platforms offered by each party are increasingly presented as an all-or-nothing scenario. There is also a certain level of righteousness assigned to that platform, making those who disagree with it be perceived as “wrong.” Those who agree with it are perceived as “right.” Political parties may encourage opinions, but only if those opinions agree with the platform.

3. Political parties prioritize themselves.
In 2016, the total cost of the U.S. election was an estimated $6.4 billion, according to information from Open Secrets. The cost of the Presidential race was $2.38 billion. In 2012, those figures were $6.2 billion and $2.6 billion respectively. Just one election in the United States, at those figures, is enough to solve most world hunger issues for an entire year. That means the goal of most political parties is to prioritize themselves so they can be in power. Political parties see these costs as investments.

4. Political parties sacrifice individuality.
Personal opinions are important. We learn from individual experiences. In the structure of a political party, however, the individual voice is often drowned out by the group voice. If enough voices are loud enough, a minority of people within the party can lead the entire group toward a new direction. Because group voices are louder, there tends to be less attention paid to concerned individual voices – even if the observations or information being provided would benefit everyone.

5. Political parties invite corruption.
If a person can be given a large enough and loud enough platform, they can influence the direction of an entire election, community, or nation. Their very structure, where individuals influence group voices to lead the party in a specific direction, invites corruption. Allegations of corruption are frequent in political systems because a few typically hold power over many and special interest groups want their message to get out to as many people as possible

IMPORTANCE OF PHILIPPINE POLITICS

The importance of politics

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 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.
