Preventing tourism-related crimes: Strategies

Preventing tourism-related crimes: Strategies GAUGE TO PREVENT TOURISM-RELATED CRIMES PROPONENTS: ARINGO, MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER GUIANAN, AUBREY MANZANILLA, NICKO RABANO, JAYE CLARENCE SABAO, JASPER ADVISER: JIDDEH N. SELDA, MBA Introduction Growth in tourism has led to increase opportunities and incidences of crimes. These crimes happened for several reasons. First, tourists are lucrative targets since they typically carry large sums of money and other valuables. Second, tourists are vulnerable because they are more likely to be relaxed and sometimes careless while on vacation. Finally, tourists are often less likely to report crimes to testify against suspects, wishing to avoid problems or a return trip. Crimes are made by people who motivate themselves to create bad intensions. In order for the researchers to purposely maintain tourism in the country and to promote the magnificence of the Philippines, one must consider the security and safety of the tourist destination. Tourists must be aware of crimes. Crimes may happen in a bus, subways, hallways, airports, terminals, trains or tricycles. One common crimes in Albay is snatching. The study clarifies the different terminologies use: Gauge is an instrument or device for measuring the magnitude, amount, or contents of something, typically with a visual display of such information;1 Prevent means to stop (someone or something) not to do something or to stop (someone or something) from doing something;2 Tourism is the commercial organization and operation of vacations and visits to place of interest and;3 Crimes is an action or omission that constitutes an offense that may be persecuted by the state and is punishable by law.4 Statement of the Problem This study aims to know the gauge in preventing tourism-related crimes in Albay and it specifically answer the following questions: What are the tourism-related crimes in the Second District of Albay from 2012-2013? What particular areas are the common targets of tourism-related crimes in Albay? What are the ways to prevent tourism-related crimes in Albay? Scope and Delimitation The study focused on the gauge to prevent tourism-related crimes in Albay. The study focused on the selected municipalities and cities in the 2nd district of Albay, namely: Legazpi City, Daraga, Camalig and Rapu-Rapu. The study is concerned with the conflicts and problems as experienced by the municipalities and cities in Albay. Significance of the study Philippine national police – This study will serve as the basis of the number of crimes in the year 2012-12013. To maintain the peace and order. Community – The community, stakeholder, professionals, and the parents will find this study relevant in utilization of innovative measures along the crimes. Future researchers The findings of this study will be useful to the future researchers who conduct studies on the said innovations. The study also will serve as basis for future studies on innovation not in this study. Likewise, the findings can enrich the studies of researchers. Students- This study will help the students so that they know what are the dangerous areas in the 2nd district of Albay. And to east to enable them to prevent crimes. Media- This study will help the reporters to know some of the crimes that happen in each area. And it will also help them to their research problems. Tourist- This study will help for them to know what place they should not go. And also to know what kind of crimes often do to tourist. Present researchers- Introduction The tourism industry in Albay is one of the leading economic contributors in the country’s Its help our country to be one of the successful tourism industry in the world but one of the reason why our tourism industry was decreasing because of the crimes that happening in our certain place or destination, for example like a kidnaping, snatching, holdapping, sex tourism and etc. It’s happened in our beloved and successful country in the industry of tourism. And that is the disadvantage in our certain place or destination. We need to prevent or stop tourism crime so that the the tourist that came in our country or province will not be afraid to come and visit our destination. If the tourism crime decrease in our place it will one of the key to become successful contributors in our country. Despite of the economic distribution and contribution and opportunities that growth the potentials of tourism has been and still threatened by many factors such as poverty, crimes, killi ng people and unemployment. Albay is one of the beautiful landscape and natural attraction that you will see, but crimes is one of the threatened reasons that affect our province. As for now the tourism crimes in our province is low crime rate but to prevent it the community people in our province will cooperate to prevent tourism crimes, be aware to the people who does who are doing crimes like to do in our tourist. To decrease the crime rate all of the people in the community will help each other in stopping crimes like protect our tourist stop the snatching, kidnapping, sex tourism, poverty, etc, so the tourist will not take negative impact in our certain destination. Our topic is one of the interesting study that our province will surely recognize our study in gauge to prevent tourism-crimes in Albay.

By wikipedia Child Observation Study: Personality Development Analysis Child Observation Study: Personality Development Analysis Ivan Mitsko Observation Middle childhood is a time when children improve their motor and social skills and become more independent. During this period children experience steady and uniform physical development, they become taller, and gain more weight in faster rates compared to adults. In addition to physical changes children begin to develop their cognitive development and moral values. Due to advanced technology children watch a lot of inappropriate movies and play violent games and it is essential for caregivers to help their children develop proper behavior and self-identity. For this project I decided to observe my neighbor’s child who is currently seven years old. His name was David and when I observed him with other kids engaging in different games I could notice his level of performance of fine and gross skills. For instance, when we played soccer I could see that child can develop a good amount of force in order to kick the ball. However, his accuracy was a little bit off from expected pattern. On the other hand, he could easily improve his performance after he practiced the skill. This observation reminded me about the theory that children are fast learners and by practicing certain skill they learn to compete with others which is a useful knowledge in real word. ( compet. Judge) After observing David I realized that his interest in being active had an influence from his parents. I know George and Marta for over eight years and I can say that they are very outgoing people. They spend a lot of time outside participating in such activities as jogging, hiking, or biking. I believe that it’s a very good approach to educate children of all of the benefits of physical activity. Unfortunately, many children in this generation have sedentary lifestyle. As most of us already know the rapid technological growth might have some negative impact on many kids. For example, many children prefer to spend more time watching TV, or playing video games rather than being engaged in physical activity with peers. Due to this behavior children could develop psychological and physiological abnormalities when they grow up such as depression or obesity ( Bryant). However, in my case, David was very dynamic child and I decided to make most of my observation while he participates in sport activities with other kids. When the first time I observed David in the school gym I immediately noticed that he is very social person. All the interaction between other kids is a very important stage of cognitive development. During this time children learn leadership skills, regulate their emotions, develop self-efficacy, and learn to communicate, and handle different types of conflicts (lecture 11). This psychological aspect was very well described by Albert Bandura and his social learning theory. The concept of social learning theory shows how the child adapts to modern world as he learns the habits and norms of modern society. In other words, besides classical and operant conditioning children can learn though imitation or emulation ( cherry). According to Bandura, the social learning theory is a modeling which includes five conditions; attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. One of the main reasons of Davis’s active lifestyle can be described by attention. In order to learn something, a person must pay attention to a model that appeals him ( chery). George and Marta had a primary influence on David’s behavior because they showed that engaging in physical activity is fun and it has many health benefits. The other interesting psychological behavior I observed was self-regulation. During the game both teams had disagreements and some of the kids started arguing. I paid a very close attention to David’s behavior and noticed that he tried to suppress his feelings in order to avoid a conflict. He was very quiet at the beginning but then decided to speak up and solve the problem. Fortunately, both teams end up replaying a game which shows that self-regulation can help avoid violent behavior. According to Steven Stosny, ‘’ behaviorally, self-regulation is the ability to act in your long-term best interest, consistent with your deepest values and the violation of these values causes guilt, shame, and anxiety, which undermine well-being.’’ ( stosny) During this period of life David already developed complex emotions such as guilt, shame, or embarrassment. According to research, children have these complex emotions due to self-awareness that depends on parental reaction. In my opinion, one of the main reasons David didn’t get aggressive during argument is his self-awareness that parents will get upset and he will experience negative emotions such as guilt or shame (emotional development,santrock 350-351). On the other hand, I can think of Albert Bandura’s social learning theory and motivation. David’s parents thought him that physical aggression should be always avoided in order develop social stability and control over own emotions. I believe his motivation to avoid punishment helped him to suppress his feelings and gain control over negative emotions. In most cases children’s behavior depends on parenting style. During my observation I noticed that George and Marta practiced authoritative style. However, there can be some exceptions but I realized that in most cases they respect and encourage self-expression. Any time they have disagreements or any conflicts with David they always try to discus the problem and establish certain rules in order to prevent misbehavior. For instance, when David received ‘’0’’ score for his English homework his parents were very mad. Nonetheless, they didn’t use any power assertion but decided to use inductive techniques which help the child to understand his misbehavior. During that time I was in another room and I could hear the conversation about all of the negative consequences that might affect David if he is not going to prepare for his homework on time. As the result, George and Marta decided to use negative punishment and take away his x-box for the whol e week. The middle childhood is a stage of life when children begin to develop cognitive and emotional schemas. During this specific period of time they begin to understand and perceive moral values and reality; however, development of these values will have an effect on how well the child can succeed in society. During my observation I could clearly see how David’s parents helped him adapt social emotional learning. His friendly interaction with siblings, emotional regulation, and self-awareness are the primary indicators of his future succession. The last and the most important things I learned from this project is that caregivers are the primary people who responsible for child’s behavior. There can be many parenting styles and it’s hard to tell which one is better but teaching a child moral values and self-regulation is the most important goal in cognitive development. https://www.competitivedge.com/parentscoaches-guides-13-steps-being-winning-parent http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17444962 http://psychology.about.com/od/developmentalpsychology/a/sociallearning.htm https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/anger-in-the-age-entitlement/201110/self-regulation
