DEFINITION
Vulnerability is the quality of being easily hurt or attacked. Some seniors think
it's funny to pick on the ninth graders because of their vulnerability.
Vulnerability comes from the Latin word for "wound," vulnus. Vulnerability is the
state of being open to injury, or appearing as if you are.
Risk is the possibility of losing something of value. Values (such as physical

health, social status, emotional well-being, or financial wealth) can be gained or
lost when taking risk resulting from a given action or inaction, foreseen or
unforeseen (planned or not planned).
A hazard is any agent that can cause harm or damage to humans, property, or the
environment. Risk is defined as the probability that exposure to a hazard will lead
to a negative consequence, or more simply, a hazard poses no risk if there is no
exposure to that hazard.
A disaster is a sudden, calamitous event that seriously disrupts the functioning of

a community or society and causes human, material, and economic or environmental
losses that exceed the community's or society's ability to cope using its own
resources. Though often caused by nature, disasters can have human origins.
An emergency is an unexpected and difficult or dangerous situation, especially an

accident, which happens suddenly and which requires quick action to deal with it.
What is civic education? It is a public, socially-oriented system of continuous

education and upbringing aimed at building civic competence, democratic culture,
satisfying the needs for socialization in the interests of the individual, civil
society and the rule of law. Civic education shall be presented, encompassing four
main aspects: Political Knowledge, Normative Values, Individualistic Civic Behavior
and Communal Civic Behavior.
In its broadest definition, �civic education� means all the processes that affect
people�s beliefs, commitments, capabilities, and actions as members or prospective
members of communities. Civic education need not be intentional or deliberate;
institutions and communities transmit values and norms without meaning to. It may
not be beneficial: sometimes people are civically educated in ways that disempower
them or impart harmful values and goals. It is certainly not limited to schooling
and the education of children and youth. Families, governments, religions, and mass
media are just some of the institutions involved in civic education, understood as
a lifelong process.
True education is beyond earning degrees it is more than bookish knowledge.

Education means inculcating moral values, positive thinking, attitude of helping,
attitude of giving to society and ethical values these kind of students are only
able to bring changes in society.
