REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This section presents an overview of the previous researchers, articles, and literature

associated with the Significance of Understanding Culture, Society, and Politics subject of gr. 12

students in Mary and Jesus School Inc. All in all, the purpose of this literature review is to

further look into how this subject influences the Gr. 12 students in follow and take into the

modern world.

Understanding Culture, Society, and Politics uses several academic disciplines, professional

specializations, and insights from anthropology, political science, and sociology to expand

student awareness of cultural, social, and political dynamics and sensitivity to cultural diversity.

It provides a more in-depth knowledge of how culture, human agency, society, and politics work;

and engages students in analyzing the nation's present objectives for human development. After

all, students acquire ideas about human cultures, human agency, society, and politics; recognize

cultural relativism and social inclusiveness to overcome prejudices, as well as develop social and

cultural skills necessary to manage their connections with organizations, networks, communities,

and groups, Joefe Santarita and Randy Madrid (2016).

In the course description mandated by the DepEd, this subject with the use of modern technology

and other pedagogical media, students would stimulate their appetite and can easily grasp our

world.

According to Tanushree Dhandhania (2022), students can draw pertinent conclusions

from the information, spot similarities, and differences, and establish links between related

concepts, ideas, and resources. The experiences help students know how various factors and

people affect their daily lives. To give an example – to investigate poverty in society, they

require knowledge of subjects like – History, Economics, and Politics. Students gain information

and comprehend ideas such as discrimination, resource allocation, and political priorities. To

understand how poverty affects particular populations in the country, they must examine and

assess the connections between these ideas and theories. This knowledge will bring up the

innovation of students to think about ways or come up with new solutions and policies that can

help reduce poverty. They might have the opportunity to share their opinions through

discussions, essays, role plays, or group projects.

These subjects help children to develop:

Awareness of The World and Environment

It denotes both the significance of the subject and how it plays in a student's life. A variety of

subjects are used to incorporate studies into the school curriculum. This knowledge enables

students to comprehend how the world and various societies have changed, significant historical

occurrences, enduring concepts, and notable figures who have had an impact on people's lives

both locally and globally. Additionally, it aids students in comprehending the organization,

administration, and governance of various societies. As a result of this, students can then better

understand their place in the world.

Helps to Enhance the Understanding of Students:

Students can observe, learn, and understand human behavior, values, and attitudes as well as the

relationships that exist among various people by studying various topics included in the
 4

curriculum for various age groups, such as - Festivals, Different Types of Families, Clothes We

Wear, Food We Eat, Our Country, States of the countries. Community, Socio-Religious

Reforms, and Challenges in the Caste System help students to observe, learn and understand

human behavior, values, and attitudes and the interrelationships which exist among different

people. They learn about the various cultures and religions that exist in the world in addition to

their own. Additionally, they gain knowledge of social strata, norms, and the necessity of various

governing bodies and other institutions.

This enables students to comprehend both the benefits and challenges of living in a multicultural

and ideologically diverse world. This awareness enables them to comprehend the value of

democracy, rights, and freedoms as well as the necessity for everyone to respect, trust, and

balance the various ideologies, opinions, values, attitudes, lifestyles, cultures, and practices that

exist in society in order to live and coexist peacefully.

Helps Students to Become Better Citizens:

It equips students to become active, accountable, and self-reflective members of society as they

mature by supplying pertinent knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Studies like economics, political

science, and history teach students about political ideologies, constitutional law, citizenship,

rights and duties, morals, and social codes of conduct, making them conscious of their roles and

responsibilities, particularly concerning social and civic affairs. Additionally, it teaches them

how to address societal and international issues with the aid of literature, technology, and other

readily available local resources.

Thomas Jefferson (2018), also stated that it enables education to emphasize the value

of freedom and citizen participation in governance, enabling students to "read and understand

what is going on in the world." As a result, each range of students received a fixed body of

knowledge that frequently reflected the concerns and needs of the generation.

From this subject, we can recognize the abundance of information that the students gain and how

it benefits them As well as, the connection of statements of the authors in the given review of

related literature.
