CHINA TERRITORIAL DISPUTE The Philippines-China South China Sea dispute was handled by the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) under the legal framework of UNCLOS, rather than the International Court of Justice (ICJ), due to jurisdictional limitations and China's refusal to participate in an ICJ process. The ICJ requires mutual consent from both countries to take on a case, and China refused to agree to bring the dispute to the ICJ. The PCA was chosen because it could operate under UNCLOS arbitration rules without China's consent, as UNCLOS has its own dispute resolution mechanism for maritime issues. COMPETENCY BASED ENHANCEMENT THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD QUESTION NUMBER 17: According to Samuel Huntington, what is the main source of conflict in the modern world? a.

Technology COMPETENCY BASED ENHANCEMENT THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS Samuel Huntington, in his influential 1993 essay titled "The Clash of Civilizations?" and later in his book of the same name, argues that the main source of conflict in the modern world is cultural differences rather than ideological or political ones. Civilizational Identities: Huntington categorizes the world into major civilizations, including Western, Islamic, Hindu, Confucian, and others. He argues that these civilizations will clash as their fundamental values and beliefs differ Cultural and Religious Fault Lines: The key conflicts will occur along the "fault lines" between these civilizations. For example, he highlighted the potential for conflict between Western countries and Islamic nations. Globalization's Role: While globalization promotes interactions between cultures, it can also lead to backlash and resistance from those who feel threatened by the influence of other cultures. COMPETENCY BASED ENHANCEMENT THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD QUESTION NUMBER 18: Which of the following war resulted from the Cold War? a.

Global Warming b. Air pollution c. Climate Change d. Greenhouse effect COMPETENCY BASED ENHANCEMENT THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Climate Change refers to long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns, primarily due to human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This causes an increase in greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere, which leads to various extreme weather phenomena like recurring heat waves, long droughts, heavier rainfalls, and stronger hurricanes and typhoons. Global Warming is closely related, it specifically refers to the Earth's increasing average surface temperature due to rising greenhouse gas concentrations. It's a component of climate change but doesn't encompass the full range of weather impacts, such as stronger storms or shifts in precipitation. Air pollution can contribute to environmental harm and health issues, but it’s not the main driver of these large-scale weather events. Greenhouse Effect refers to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which contributes to global warming. COMPETENCY BASED ENHANCEMENT THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Climate Change overs it all: heatwaves, droughts, heavy rain, hurricanes) Global Warming (Rising temperatures) Air Pollution (Dirty air, health issues, not main driver) Greenhouse Effect (Traps heat, drives warming, part of climate change) COMPETENCY BASED ENHANCEMENT THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD QUESTION NUMBER 23: Which among the following statements is NOT TRUE about the World Bank? a.
