    Discovery of the buoys, pulled ashore near Subic, is the latest

    in an endless series of episodes as the Philippines answers

    Chinas claim to the entire South China Sea. With the

    Philippines now committed to basing planes andships permanently at Subic Bay, the .S. may also want to

    base forces there while the Chinese build air and naval

    facilities in the Spratlys and threaten Philippine, !ietnamese,

    Brunei and "alaysian forces elsewhere in the island grouping.

    #orecasts of a return of .S. military power, however, may be

    premature. While the base at Subic is reopening ne$t year to

    Philippine forces in a palpably wea% attempt at countering

    Chinese claims to the South China Sea, Philippine officialsdismiss dreams of reprising the era of massive .S. air and

    naval power as fantasy. &ather, said a Philippine defense

    official, .S. forces will be in and out of Subic Bay as they have

    been ever since the sprawling 'merican naval base on the

    South China Sea was turned into a shopping area () years ago.

    Evolution of Media

    We live in a world that is dominated by the advances of technology that we hardly notice

    how it has influenced us, as well as our culture. 5ne ma4or field where this is most evident is

    in media. "edia has grown and e$panded in all forms, %eeping us updated with current

    events and news all over the world. *he days of the 6postman and the 6newspaper boy are

    gone. !arious forms of media, including the radio, television, computers and other

    electronic gadgets, feature the most advanced technology that enables a person to carry out

    an entire library of information in ones poc%et. ndeed, we are endowed with the means by

    which we could gain and utili/e information, without brea%ing a sweat. +owever, media has

    evolved not only in ways by which we could gain and utili/e information, but also in ways by

    which we create information. *his essay aims to resurface the basic yet fundamental

    importance for 7uestioning the impact of the evolution of media in our present day and age.

    *he rise in technology triggered a ma4or historical transition of media, wherein we

    unconsciously emerge into a %ind of pluralistic society8 a %ind of pluralism that advocates

    the notion of information as something 6made rather than 6found. Society is driven towards

    information that creates an e$hilarating and intriguing story to tell. With this drive comes

    language, for language is inevitably bound up with culture. +erein, we see a defining

    moment in the evolution of media 9 the social construction of reality. :et one may as%, in

    what way does media construct reality0

    "edia constructs reality in its 7uest for substantial information through language. n effect,

    claims about reality amount to mere social constructs, which are mainly determined by

    institutions of power and the demands of the ma4ority. What remains may be a form of

    dehumani/ation wherein one no longer struggles to define oneself in search for truth, butrather, struggles to merely survive the present in search for power8 satisfaction which never

    remains content. 's a result, we are faced with the reification of reality wherein stories

    about people are fabricated to suit the demands of society. What remains is ones

    identification with his or her socially assigned typifications, a significant matter, which we

    often do not often recogni/e.

    Summary:

    At the end of the Pleistocene period, approximately 12,800 years ago give or take a few

    centuries a cosmic impact triggered an abrupt cooling episode that earth scientists refer to

    as the Younger Dryas. New research has narrowed the date to a 100-year range, sometime

    between 12,835 and 12,735 years ago.

    History of the English LanguageA short history of the origins and development of English

    The history of the English language really started with the arrival of

    three Germanic tribes who invaded Britain during the 5th century

    AD. These tribes the Angles the !a"ons and the #utes crossed the

    $orth !ea from what today is Denmar% and northern Germany. At

    that time the inhabitants of Britain s&o%e a 'eltic language. But

    most of the 'eltic s&ea%ers were &ushed west and north by the

    invaders ( mainly into what is now )ales !cotland and *reland. The

    Angles came from +Englaland+ ,sic- and their language was called

    +Englisc+ ( from which the words +England+ and +English+ arederived.
