Dear Parents/ Guardians:

Warm Paulinian Greetings!

It’s been a while and I pray that your family is safe and healthy!

It has always been our mission at St. Paul University Philippines to provide our students with quality
Catholic Paulinian education. In this time of pandemic, we will continue to do so- but now in a different
way- as we transition into the new normal.

For the fourth quarter of School Year 2019-2020, we will take a systematic path and employ a very
manageable approach in administering class instruction. Over the past few weeks, teachers have been
working diligently on their Dynamic Instructional Plans (DIPs) which will be delivered to all the learners
to ensure continuity of learning.

On the succeeding pages, you will find the fourth quarter learning targets of Understanding Culture,
Society, and Politics Grade-12. All learning tasks of the subject are anchored on the learning
competencies your child needs to master. Since these tasks are to be done at home, I ask that you take
time to assist/guide your child to assure his/her success of education.

Please do also take note that all accomplished tasks may be sent through email, messenger, other social
media platform, or be brought to the designated drop boxes strategically situated at the university’s
pedestrian gate.

I am fully aware that these difficult times are having a significant impact on you, your family, and the
school and so we will remain in constant communication with you and will be available for questions
during this transition. We are confident we can move into this new normal together.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing the accomplishment your child will create. I fervently pray that
we will all be blessed and that we will overcome all the difficulties during this time of uncertainty. Let
us continuously pray and work together, all for the greater glory of God!

Sincerely yours in Christ,

MODULE 1: THE ORIGIN AND NATURE OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES:

ANTHROPOLOGY, SOCIOLOGY, AND POLITICAL SCIENCE

INTRODUCTION

In the development and progress of human knowledge, the social sciences were the lastly to
develop after the natural sciences. And while the origin of social sciences can be traced back to the ancient
Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, their development as separate fields of knowledge only
begun in the modern period. (Collins 1994).

The social sciences, namely; sociology, anthropology, and political science, developed as a result
of the development of modern society. The rise and rapid growth of the natural sciences influenced the
direction of the social sciences. The social sciences barrowed mainly from natural sciences in developing
their own concepts and method. However, in the 20 th century, the social sciences have become diverse
and pluralistic. Nevertheless, they have never abandoned the quest to be relevant to people of 20 th century.

OBJECTIVES:

This module is designed for you to:

1. understand the basic knowledge about the origin, growth and development of the social sciences;
2. determine the objectives and purpose of social science; and
3. identify specific of social sciences.

LESSON PROPER/DISCUSSION

Social sciences today have drastically changed from being western-centered to having a more
pluralistic orientation and being multicultural in nature. This has to do with the efforts of social
scientists from non-Western countries to indigenize Western social sciences. Feminist, postcolonial
theorists, and postmodern scholars have also
contributed in the questioning of the assumed
universality of Western concepts and theories of
Western social sciences.

Social Science is the study of the activities of the

physical and social environment. Basically, it is the
study of human relations or the scientific study of
human society. It deals with the human relationships,
behavior, development and resources they use and
many kinds of organizations they need to carry in their
daily life like the workplace, school, family,
government, etc. It is important because its study helps us to gain knowledge of the society we live in.
Generally, Social Science focus on the relationships among individuals in society. It is the mixture of
many subjects like History, Geography, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Social Psychology and
many more.

The main definition of social science is – “The social sciences

subjects are those subjects which describe and examine the
humans”. Social science is the society related study — the
primary reason for Social studies to help students to develop
the ability to make the right decisions. It increases the social
considerate of students.
 Study Social Science?
Social Science aware the students about our surroundings and the incidents
happened in the past. It has significance to develop an international
viewpoint. It is also important for the moral progress of society. It helps to
form the man social character. Study of Social Science makes us an
efficient citizen of a democracy, and it also helps us to solve the practical
problems in our daily life. It is essential for communities and
organizations. It also helps the students to know how different societies
are managed, structured and governed.

As we know, social science includes many subjects

each subject give us different knowledge like history
provide the knowledge of the ancient period, from
this subject we come to know that what happened in
the past. Another subject is Geography from this
subject we know about our natural environment or
natural vegetation like plants, animals, etc. We also
learn about the evolution of animals, water bodies,
flora, fauna, the impact of the environment in the
present and future life, preservation and conservation
importance in our life. Political Science is the subject
from which we know about politics, democracy and
the fundamental proficiencies poverty rate in the
world, citizenships, moral and virtues, rights and
duties etc. Economics is the subject from which we
learn how to manage the finances, about effective
economic policies etc. From social science, students
know about the different culture and religion in the
world and how to value and respect our culture.

Study Social Science?

1. It gives knowledge about civilization and culture.
2. It provides knowledge of social development.
3. It develops social behavior.
4. It develops civil qualities.
5. It develops the power of thinking and reasoning.
6. It develops the feeling of universal brotherhood.
7. It develops modernization.
8. It develops suitable proficiency and good habits.
9. It develops the moral and social values.
10. It develops the all-round personality.
 Of Social Science?
Social science help students to know about the duties
towards human society and make us understand how
a man can fulfil their needs. Because of Social
science students understand the fundamental rights
in our constitution, freedom fighters who fought for
the nation. It also provides knowledge of the social
environment and nature. It also develops the human
qualities, desirable attitudes in students, and it also
expands the critical thinking and imagination of
students. Students learn many different things from
social science like cultural and social beliefs,
religions, caste, nationalities, languages, festivals,
clothing, food etc. From these things, students come
to know that in the society they live is multicultural,
diverse and interrelated between the countries,
culture and religion.
Social Science helps the students to know the importance of democracy, freedom and rights and
how to live in society. It makes the student responsible, active and reflective towards the society. And
also makes the students well informed about the culture, religion and society; in short, it makes the
student well-informed citizen.

Anthropology
Known as the 'science of humanity', anthropology covers a broad
9. PSYCHOLOGY
range of topics – from human behavior, to cultural relations, and how
the evolution of humanity has influenced society's structure. It's often
10.SOCIOLOGY
described as being both scientific and humanistic, meaning it's well-suited for anyone looking to indulge passions
for both of these kinds of subject – and, whilst focusing on history to an extent, there's plenty of chance to apply it
in modern contexts too!

Archaeology
Whilst many people think of archaeologists as being like Indiana Jones, the truth is very different – though no less
interesting. Similar to anthropology in that it is the study of humanity, it relies much more on the material
evidence left behind by cultures. There is excavation work, analysis and surveying to be done.
Economics
Economics looks at the production, distribution and consumption of goods and
services. You can choose to take a close view or a broad one, but in general, it comes
down to looking at how the economic systems of the world work. This knowledge can
be applied both theoretically and practically, meaning the subject is well suited for
anyone interested in the current economic world.

Geography
Though many of us may remember geography as the subject at school that
involved maps, it goes beyond that – analyzing population, the land itself, the
relationship between the two and often linking to the earth sciences (such as
geology). At postgraduate level, you'll be able to specialize in a particular branch –
such as oceanology, environmental management or tourism geography.

History
History is a broad subject, encompassing large areas and time periods of the
worlds. Whilst postgraduate level study gives you a chance to specialize, you'll
still be using similar skills – interpreting sources, looking at current theories of the
past, and assessing ideas against the available evidence.

Law
Studying Law will give you the opportunity to look at a variety of legal systems,
and to focus on a particular area – contract law, international law or criminal
law, to name but a few. Doing further study in law is especially useful if intending
to go into it as a career, although it is possible to study it solely for academic
reasons.

Linguistics
Linguistics is the study of language – looking at its form, context, or meaning.
Rather than learning to speak a particular language, it's more about how
language itself works. Within linguistics, there is a broad range of study, from
looking at grammar, to language acquisition or the evolution of language.

Political science
Politics affect every part of life, so it's no wonder it makes such a fascinating area of
study. Often broken up into Political Philosophy, Comparative Politics and
International Relations, this subject allows for studying both historical and current
events.

Psychology
Both theoretical and experimental, psychology makes use of studying both social
behavior and neurobiological processes. With such a broad area of study – the
human mind – you'll specialize in particular areas, perhaps child development,
interpersonal relationships or social psychology.

Sociology
Sociology is the study of society, both on the individual and structural level. Covering
topics such as class, religion and social mobility, there's a broad range to choose to
specialize in. Some sociologists work solely for theoretical purposes, whilst others
intend to use their findings in policies or welfare.

MODULE 2: UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH OF SOCIAL SCIENCE IN TO THE

CULPABILITY OF THE FORERUNNERS OF SOCIOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

Sociology is the study of how society affects people, and how people affect society. The
dictionary defines sociology as "the systematic study of society and social interaction". The word
“sociology” comes from the Latin word ‘socius” (companion) and the Greek word logos (speech or
reason), which when put together mean “reasoned speech about companionship”.

Sociologists use a variety of methods to study society and social behavior. They examine groups,
cultures, organizations, social institutions, and processes that people develop and apply these to the real
world. Most sociologists work in research organizations, colleges and universities, regional and federal
government, and consulting service firms. Educators, lawmakers, administrators, and social workers use
sociological research to solve social problems and formulate public policy.

OBJECTIVES:

This module is designed for you to:

1. understand and acquire basic knowledge about sociological perspective;
2. identify the emancipatory potential of sociological frameworks; and
3. determine the contributions of sociological scientists/ sociologists.

LESSON PROPER/DISCUSSION
Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human
behavior. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people
interact within these contexts. Since all human behavior is social, the subject matter of sociology ranges from
the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to religious cults; from the divisions of race,
gender and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture; and from the sociology of work to the
sociology of sports. In fact, few fields have such broad scope and relevance for research, theory, and
application of knowledge.
Sociology provides many distinctive perspectives on
the world, generating new ideas and critiquing the old.
The field also offers a range of research techniques that
can be applied to virtually any aspect of social life:
street crime and delinquency, corporate downsizing,
how people express emotions, welfare or education
reform, how families differ and flourish, or problems of
peace and war. Because sociology addresses the
most challenging issues of our time, it is a rapidly
expanding field whose potential is increasingly tapped
by those who craft policies and create programs.
Sociologists understand social inequality, patterns of
behavior, forces for social change and resistance, and
how social systems work. As the following pages
convey, sociology is an exciting discipline with
expanding opportunities for a wide range of career
paths.
 Does a
Sociologist do?
"the ongoing
Sociologist Dorothy Smith defines social as being
concerting and coordinating of individuals’ activities”. Even
if there are only two people involved, there is a social interaction that
entails the “ongoing concerting and coordinating of activities". Sociology
uses many different methods to study an enormous amount of subject
matter and to apply these studies to the real world. Sociologists learn
about society as a whole by studying face-to-face interactions, group
interactions, and even by studying large-scale historical events that have
and are still affecting entire civilizations.

Sociologists study people's social lives, activities, behaviors, interactions, processes, and organizations within the
context of larger social, political, and economic forces. They examine how social influences affect different
individuals and groups, and the ways organizations and institutions affect people's lives. They also trace the origin
and growth of these groups and interactions.

A society can be thought of as a group of people who live in a specific area, interact with each other, and share
a certain way of life (or culture). A culture, or the way a group of people customarily do things, may include shared
and habitual practices, values, and beliefs.

Societies can be very different depending on where you live. For example, let's say a couple attends a sports game together
with hundreds, or thousands, of other people. They may only know each other in the crowd. However, they may experience
a feeling of camaraderie and connection with the many others that are there as they cheer and boo alongside them. As they
leave the sports event, they know how to behave. They move out of the way if someone needs to get by, and they say 'excuse
me' if they need to get by.

However, if that same couple were in a foreign country and in a crowded sports arena, it could be a very different experience.
Perhaps the norm in that foreign country (or society) is to be very demonstrative and passionate. Perhaps the hometown team
losing results in anger, fighting, or even some rioting. The couple will most likely have trouble figuring out what is happening
and why, and will not feel part of the crowd or even safe to be there. They will not know what to do or how to behave in that
situation. The crowd response to two similar events can be very different because
each group of people has their own society, or culture, and their own way
of interacting with each other. To make it even more complicated, the
simple fact of being in a group of people can change people's behavior,
which means that people of the same group can exhibit different behaviors
even when in the same situation.

Why do people feel and act differently in different types of social

situations? Why do people of a single group show different behaviors in
the exact same situation? Why do people acting very similarly not feel
connected to other people showing the same behavior? How can the
experience of camaraderie or togetherness be put into words or explained?
These are just some of the many, many questions that sociologists ask as
they study all aspects and levels of society.
 Sociology is a very broad subject. Everything in the social arena is
available for study and specialization, including the following:

Sociologists can specialize in a wide range of social topics:

Health, Marriage, Sexuality, Group Interaction, Crime, Education, Work Roles,

Racial and Ethnic Relations, Families, Population, Gender Roles, Deviance,
Public Policy, Attitude Development, Poverty, Aging, and Social Inequality

MODULE 3: INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION AND GLOBALIZATION

INTRODUCTION

Globalization is the word used to describe the growing interdependence of the world’s
economies, cultures, and populations, brought about by cross-border trade in goods and services,
technology, and flows of investment, people, and information. Countries have built economic
partnerships to facilitate these movements over many centuries. But the term gained popularity after the
Cold War in the early 1990s, as these cooperative arrangements shaped modern everyday life. This guide
uses the term more narrowly to refer to international trade and some of the investment flows
among advanced economies, mostly focusing on the United States.

The wide-ranging effects of globalization are complex and politically charged. As with major
technological advances, globalization benefits society as a whole, while harming certain groups.
Understanding the relative costs and benefits can pave the way for alleviating problems while sustaining
the wider payoffs.

After centuries of technological progress and advances in international cooperation, the world is more
connected than ever. But how much has the rise of trade and the modern global economy helped or hurt
American businesses, workers, and consumers? Here is a basic guide to the economic side of this broad and
much debated topic, drawn from current research.
OBJECTIVES:

This module is designed for you to:

1. Understand the importance of intercultural communication;
2. identify different components of culture and language ; and
3. determine the importance of cultural relativism and globalization.

LESSON PROPER/DISCUSSION

GLOBALIZATION
and Intercultural Communication

Communication needs to be as constructive as possible, without misunderstandings and breakdowns.

It is our belief that problems in communication can be resolved through research on the nature of linguistic and
cultural similarities and differences.
 What is Intercultural Communication?
• The effective communication between people,
workers and people of different cultural
backgrounds.
• Communication between people whose cultural
perceptions and symbol systems are distinct
enough to alter the communication system.
• An academic field of study which seeks to
understand how people from different countries
and culture behave and communicate and
perceive the world around them.
• The interpersonal interaction between members of
different groups which differ from each other in
respect of the knowledge shared by their
members and in respect of their linguistic forms of
symbolic behavior (Karl fried Knapp).

Why do we Study
Intercultural Communication?
• Increases Self-awareness
• Demographic Changes
• Workplace and Economic Globalization
• Creative Problem Solving
• Global and Intrapersonal Peace

Communication
And
Language
• Communication is far more
than speech and writing, we can still
communicate in many ways even we
are not speaking

• Paralanguage: language of
gestures, expressions and postures.
• Paralanguage is often more
important in communication than what is actually being said orally, 70% of what
we communicate when talking directly with others is through paralanguage.

• Kinesics (body language): the most obvious form of paralanguage.

 Language is an integral part of
culture and human culture
cannot exist without it. All
human societies have languages.
In some simple societies where
people cannot read or write, they
have a spoken language. Through
the use of language, wide vistas
of reality have been opened.
What we have observes and
experienced, as well as our
norms, values, and ideas exist
because we have learned to
identify or experience these
things through language. These
things are shared and
transmitted from one generation
to another through the process of
socialization.
• Culture is defined as the set of
learned behaviors, beliefs, attitudes,
values, and ideals that are
characteristics of a particular society
or population (Ember, 1999).

• Culture is the learned norms, values,

knowledge, artifacts, language, and
symbols that are constantly
communicated among people who
share a common way of life Calhoun,
et al., 1994).

• Leslie A. White refers to culture as an organization of phenomena that is dependent upon symbols,
phenomena which includes acts (patterns of behavior); objects (tools and things made by tools); ideas
(beliefs, knowledge); and sentiments (attitudes, values). Culture means the entire way of life of people and
everything learned and shared by people in society (Hunt et al, 1998)
• Culture consists of patterns, explicit and implicit, of and for behavior acquired and transmitted by symbols,
constituting the distinctive achievement of human groups, including their embodiments in artifacts
(Hofstede, 1997).
 1. Culture is learned.
2. Culture is shared by a group of
people.

Of
3. Culture is cumulative.
4. Culture is dynamic.
5. Culture is ideational.
6. Culture is diverse.
7. Culture gives us a range of
permissible behavior patterns.

How is Culture Transmitted?

1. Enculturation – the process of learning culture of one’s own group.
2. Acculturation – the process of learning some new traits from other culture.
3. Assimilation – a process in which an individual entirely loses any awareness of
his/her previous group identity and takes on the culture and attitudes of another
group
Importance and Functions of Culture
1. Culture helps the individual fulfill his potential as a human being.
2. Through the development of culture, man can overcome his physical disadvantages and allows us to
provide ourselves with fire, food and shelter.
3. Culture provides rules of proper conduct for living in a society.
4. Culture also provides the individual his concepts of family, nation, and class.

MODULE 4: PEDAGOGIES OF SOCIETY ON GLOBAL NETWORKS AND GLOBALIZATION

INTRODUCTION

A Global Network is any communication network which spans the entire Earth. The
term, as used in this article refers in a more restricted way to bidirectional communication networks, and
to technology-based networks. Early networks such as international mail and unidirectional
communication networks, such as radio and television, are described elsewhere.

The first global network was established using electrical telegraphy and global span was achieved
in 1899. The telephony network was the second to achieve global status, in the 1950s. More recently,
interconnected IP networks, and the GSM mobile communication network form the largest global
networks of all. Setting up global networks requires immense, costly and lengthy efforts lasting for
decades. Elaborate interconnections, switching and routing devices, laying out physical carriers of
information, such as land and submarine cables and earth stations must be set in operation. In addition,
international communication protocols, legislation and agreements are involved.

 Characteristics
Global Network
A network can be considered a global
network if it conforms to three important
features of a global network. The
characteristics of global networks include
the following:

Borders usually refer to physical boundaries of

territories but it must be noted that in global
networks, borders are more than physical
boundaries, it can also mean an “imagined border”
that individuals navigate in their imagination and in
forms that are associated with cultural expression.

An example of a global network would be

transnational migration or employment within an
international organization over a long period of time.
This example can be considered as a Global network
of migrants (Holton, 2008, 42-43).

Examples of global networks that show this feature

are the transnational corporations, intellectual
networks, terrorist network, social movements and
organizations like feminist networks that have
surpassed boundaries and sovereignties of countries
and nation-states (Holton, 2008)
