Creation and Miracle.
After the usual prayer, I discussed with the class our participation in continuing creation (as mentioned in Genesis Chapter 1 Verse 26, ie that man "shall gain dominion" over God's creation. How do we participate in creation? Merely planting trees or procreating children? New products and ideas coming from our imagination, creative synthesis, is creation. A memo, a poem, a marketing plan, a drawing, a product is a creation. The assignment submitted, the group work made, the picture composed and taken is a creation.
Miracle: those seemingly impossible tasks are miracles. The treatment by doctors and pharma meds are miracles. The college graduate made possible by selling taho or recycled plastic is a miracle. Miracles did not just happen during the time of Jesus Christ, but is happening on continuous daily basis.
Initiatives for Mega Cities
We engaged the class on various projects and initiatives that involves mega cities. Mega cities, cities with more than 10 million inhabitants, as residents from the countryside continue to pour in in the cities as the multitude look for convenient and comfortable life, if not steady source of income. Agriculture is hard and demeaning and people will, with education will look for better high paying jobs. And there is no way we can stop the trend.
There will be multitude of problems involving:
housing
transport
health
energy
waste disposal
architecture
The 4 groups were assigned to come up in rapid succession (no screening) ideas on how to address the above issues. The class came up with a lot of bright ideas. The four groups took on housing, energy, waste disposal, and transportation.
I mentioned that we are taking up entrepreneurship and MBA, so that next time the problem crops up, we do not engage in blame the govt routine. "Kasi the govt did not provide this...."
"Ask not what the country can do for you, ask what you can for the country"
The next time there are problems, despite the bureaucracy and resistance to change, we must be ready even with baby steps to address the problems mentioned above. We have to because in "AGSB, our country is our business"
PDQ
The group presentation on PDQ continued. This is the enterprise delivery system of the business plan, SPATRES. Only one of the groups tonight conformed to the guidance to present innovation on the business., as was last week.
Jeopardy
As was mentioned we will have no formal exams as with other conventional class but a Jeopardy contest, which is as demanding. It called for group effort, quick thinking and strategy. Some groups refused to take risks, and refused to answer. Those who continued to answer wrongly had negative score. I think everybody had fun because it was open book and computer. And everybody was adjusting to the Jeopardy rules.
Congratulations to Group 4 for a lopsided victory and I gave an award of snickers. Thanks to the creator of class Jeopardy: Emmanuel and his co host JC
