What is a trend? A trend is generally a direction which tells that
something is developing or changing. The common word one may hear
especially in social media is the word “trending”. In businesses, it usually
indicates an upward direction in sales or in profit while in social media,
it connotes something that is becoming popular or acceptable to the general
population.
Fad (Uso), on the other hand, is an intense and enthusiasm for
something widely shared by people of common interest that could also be
short-lived. one that is short-lived. It may also be considered a craze or
kinahuhumalingan in Filipino language. It is a collective behavior which is
often sudden too quick to spread but most of the time short-lived. Fads may
include foods, clothing, hairstyles, habits, toys and hobbies or past times.
Trends and fads should not be mistaken as the same. They may
have similarities but they are exactly different and may sometimes mislead
decision makers. They may play a very important role in an organization or
business but they should be considered separately. Remember that fads are
short-lived while trends get stronger over time.
What brings a trend? To answer that question, there is a need to
know first the basic elements or characteristics of a trend.
A. Idea or Innovation. Ideas may be too many out there but people these
days always look for something new---that is innovation. These may refer,
for example, to old problems adopting new solutions or new problems
having old solution---still an innovation. When people hear something, they
always look for the idea behind. Reasonable and acceptable ideas may
provide useful knowledge and may bring new ideas when combined with
another lead to excellent innovative ideas.
B. Consistency. When these ideas are introduced, acceptability is
consistently increasing among people. They find it applicable as solution
or answer to their situation. It does not immediately fade but rather
develops a growing interest among people and stay as part of culture for a
longer time possible.
C. Impact. It brings change and develops people and systems. It has a lasting
effect on organizations and business systems and is becoming more widely
acceptable to majority of people expecting to benefit from it. An
example of a trend that develops great impact is the use of the ATM in
banking. Today, it has expanded into online banking.
How to spot a trend? Primarily, to consider it a trend, there should
be the presence of all these elements. But to spot an idea that would
develop into a trend could be difficult especially for business organizations
or marketing agencies trying to introduce something new in the field that
will make a difference in the way they do business. Here are some of the
guidelines.
1. Identify the opportunity. When one sees something new, or an idea
7
PIVOT 4A CALABARZON
arising, he/she has to consider the opportunities ahead. Questions like
What opportunities can I take with the new idea? or How can this idea
bring a good opportunity for many people? are good points to consider.
Even problems or bad situation create good opportunity to improve and
develop. It could grow into trend.
2. Reflect on your own. What do you have at the moment? Look outside
your business and see what they are doing. They may be using things
that you do not use yet and find them useful. When they adapt the
trend, would you do it the same way they would do things or find your
own means of doing it? Could you be of the same level or would you think
ahead and be a leader of the trend?
3. Be well informed. Follow social media, blogs and website. They may
provide you information on what the hot issues are, the talk of the town,
the latest craze and what makes the people react more. Follow certain
people like politician, educators or celebrities. They can provide meaningful
insights and information on what acceptable ideas are. They could also
give business organizations and marketing strategists new sense of
understanding the changing public perceptions.
4. Explore the social media. Find your friends, relatives, business partners
and even competitors. Find what they follow, what they like and what
interests them. Use social media to see what gets viral, the fads, and find
out how you could get in the situation and be part of the trend.
5. Be careful with the information. Not all information give you the truth.
Others are deceiving; some are misleading. Trust a second opinion. It will
help. Consult an expert and find reliable information.
Learning Task 3: Analyze the situation and answer the statement that follows in
your notebook.

Parts of a Whole: Emerging Pattern
I
Lesson
Through this lesson, you will understand the emergence of trends and
patterns. After the lesson, the learners will be able to derive an idea from
instances. Further, you are expected to: identify parts of a whole; identify and
explain an emerging pattern; and identify causes and consequences.
Learning Task 1: During the first month of the Enhanced Community
Quarantine (ECQ), one would see people in the social media planting
vegetables in their own backyard. Halfway through July, most people shifted
from planting vegetables to ornamental plants. Discuss the causes of such
shift and its consequences. Do this in your notebook.
D
Learning Task 2: Do a simple recall of the following concepts. Describe them
based on your own understanding. Do this in your notebook.
1. Parts of the whole
2. Emerging Pattern of trends
3. Principle of causality
Part
of The Whole
In order to understand things better, there is a need to dig deeper
trying to identify the parts of the whole. A trend is characterized by many
as a elaborate thing that makes the whole idea of the trend working and
producing an emerging pattern. Just as the totality of the person is being
examined, there is also a need to look at the small segments of every
event or situation that keeps it progressing to develop trends.
Early thinkers like Plato and Aristotle made a considerable discussion
about parts of the whole. Their ideas were later re-examined and intensified
by later thinkers. For Karl Marx, “the overall strategy of scientific knowledge,
as it develops in any given period, is determined to a significant extent by the
particular treatment of the categories of the part and the whole and the specific
interpretation of the related question of wholeness.”
Understanding the parts of the whole is very important as it gives
a clear view of the basic elements that make up a whole. A wrong
connotation of its part
may
mislead a decision maker and could
encourage him/her to question and not adapt the emerging trends.
For example, if one looks at the approaches used by different
countries in addressing the pandemic, one may find a strategy that works
in a country while failing in another. In this case, there is a need to look
at the totality of the strategy surrounding the implementation. That includes
considerations like political, economic, social factors, culture, etc. because
they are the parts that make up the whole system.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON
Emerging Patterns
Emerging patterns refer to items in which frequency are changing overtime.
They are important indicators that set the progressive movement of data to
understand the distinctive direction to where the trend is heading. For
research and businesses, it is an important basis that manifests the
practicability of the new sets of action. For example, data of spread of COVID
-19 shows that infection is increasing in the workplace rather than in the
community. The Department of Health (DOH), using the emerging pattern of
spread of the infection, can adopt a new strategy for containing the virus
and preventing further transmission. Most patterns are presented in graphs
or charts to make it easier for people to understand the pattern. Data
patterns of trends can be classified as follows:
A. Linear. It follows a straight line in graphical presentation which could
indicate an upward or downward direction.
B. Exponential. It is a trend represented by a line that that may rise or
fall shortly at a given time unsteadily. Data change overtime caused by
different factors that may affect progression.
C. Damped. This shows that values rise and fall initially and then stop the
rise and fall for sometime and then rise or fall again.
Causality
It is a generally accepted principle that there is the cause for
everything that happens. That is the principle that every cause produces a
consequence. It influences an event, process or state which is the cause that
contributes to the production of another event, process or state which is an effect
or consequence. The cause is partly responsible for the consequences and
the consequences are partly dependent on the causes.
What causes the emergence of the trends should be taken and
examined as a whole considering its smallest element or parts. That causes
may be intensified by intervening factors to produce a desirable progress
that characterizes a progressing or failing trends. The resulting changes is
the effect or the consequences.
The emerging
trend for online learning is beginning to develop
caused by the pandemic brought by the COVID-19. Educators, students
and school administrators will design strategies to make learning more
effective. The trend may suddenly be stopped when the government adopts
the face-to-face learning modality when the vaccine for COVID-19 becomes
available.
Learning Task 3: Read, analyze and illustrate the given case. Then, answer the
question that follows. Do this in your notebook.
A worker from Manila came home to his barangay in
Batangas City. In five (5) days, his elder with and asthma
experienced body pain and sore throat, his mother had

D
Whenever people are faced with different kinds of problems, it is
very crucial to think of means of addressing them and preventing those
circumstances from happening again. But solutions are greatly influenced
by the manner in which one defines the problem and adopts a solution
based on his/her own understanding. There are basically two different
perspectives in addressing the problem.
1. Analytical thinking is a kind of logical thinking that addresses the problems
or issues by breaking it into its component parts. It uses scientific methods
of research and adopts frameworks or models to solve the problems.
Managers, especially those running big companies or projects, tend to
use this thinking strategy to pursue changes in directing plans and
13
PIVOT 4A CALABARZON
WEEK
3
goals.
Analytical thinking focuses and deals with concerns at a particular time. It
also contains time, is deconstructive, but is subject to disorientation, braincentered and tends to the abstract. It is considered efficient in the following
conditions: sufficient time, relatively static conditions, a clear differentiation
between the observer and the observed. It is best suited for dealing with
complexities, and works best where there are established criteria for analysis
(for example, rules of law). It is requires an explanation, seeks the best option,
and can be taught in classroom to beginners.
2. Intuitive thinking is the kind of thinking that helps one understand reality
by perception or intuition without logic or analysis. It derived its confidence
from experiences. There are no analytical steps or methods but based its
action from observed indicators in the
organizational environment. It
allows individual to develop his own mode of solution in addressing strategic issues. Intuitive approaches are personal and custom-made. It sometimes derived a problem-based solution that is not quite easy to share
and at times too difficult to copy or adapt. Managers utilized the power
of persuasion to get people agree rather than the logical sense of coming up with an action.
Intuition works best where the observer has the same experience in the
particular situation. It is difficult to teach in the classroom, has the tendency
to work on feelings in favour of a more workable solution. Intuition is experience translated by expertise to produce rapid action.
Charles Parselle, founding partner of Centers for Excellence in Dispute Resolution - CEDRS.COM , presented his comparison of the components of Analytical and Intuitive thinking.

Globalization is a phenomenon that aims to link the international
community to promote social, cultural and political interconnectedness for
the common good.
Overtime, it
has created new jobs and economic growth through
cross-border flow of goods, capital and labor. This results to open competition
for commerce and trades as barriers in terms of taxes and custom tariff
and duties are eased. Free flow of goods and labor among countries is
intensified expecting overall economic growth and political cooperation.
Socially, globalization
leads to open
communication and greater
interaction among populations of different countries. It facilitates for exchange
of ideas, values and artistic expression among cultures as evident by
sending of scholars and technoctrats and promotion of tourism. This trend is
aimed at developing a common culture among the world population. Intraand inter-government organizations also begin to be strengthened by the
international community.
Advantages
A. Allows developing
and underdeveloped countries to catch up with
developed nations by increasing manufacturing, diversification of businesses,
economic expansion, and improvements in standards of living;
B. Outsources by companies to provide jobs and technology to developing
countries, e.g. BPO companies in the Philippines providing services to
companies in US and Europe; and
C. Promotes social justice and human rights among states.
Disadvantages
A. Failing economy will have a domino effect on its trading partner in another
country. This is evident among the European Union in which bail-out
was made to save an economically failing nation.
B. Wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of small group of
corporate elite putting smaller competitors in disadvantageous situation s
resulting to weakening of their business capability that usually end up
selling their business to bigger companies.
C. Introduction of international products and brand makes way for the business domination of bigger and developed countries making the cultural exchange one-sided in favor of those who dominate the market.
Learning Task 2: Identify the meaning of the acronyms below. Then, answer
the questions that follow. Do this in your notebook.

Weather tells the environmental condition in a specific place. It can be
rainy, sunny, windy or snowy, etc.
Climate describes the weather conditions expected in a particular place
in a specific time of the year.
Climate change refers to the significant change in the average
conditions of temperature and rainfall in a particular region over a long period
of time. It is already happening in our planet even before it is inhabited by
humans
but scientists have observed that changes nowadays are too
unusual, making them more alarmed. For over 20,000 years, much of the
European regions were covered with glaciers. Today, climate all over Europe
is quite warmer compared to its condition 20,000 years ago. Globally,
warming temperatures and changes in precipitation are observed. The results of
all these climatic changes include:
A. sea levels rising,
B. fewer mountain glaciers,
C. faster melting of the ice in Greenland, Antarctica and the Arctic, and
D. changes in flower and plant blooming times.
A lot of factors are contributory to the global climate change but
scientists have agreed
that human activities have been the biggest
contributor to such change. Burning fuel in factories, cars and buses affects
the earth’s natural greenhouse. The heat of the planet is trapped in the
atmosphere
making the Earth warmer. This phenomenon is called the
greenhouse effect.
Both production and consumption of goods contribute to global
warming. Production as in manufacturing utilizes technology that emits
large amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Distribution of goods such as
shipping and storage in warehouses and distribution centers also produces
hydrofluorocarbons that contribute to the greenhouse effect. Consumption
produces wastes especially non–biodegradable one that pollutes the atmosphere
when disposed through burning which also releases carbons.
Disadvantages
A. Failing economy will have a domino effect on its trading partner in
another counter. This is evident among the European Union in which
bail-out was made to save an economically failing nation.
B. Wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of small group of
corporate elite putting smaller competitors in disadvantageous situation
resulting to weakening of their business capability that usually ends up
selling their business to bigger companies.
C. Introduction of international products and brand makes way for business
domination of bigger and developed countries making the cultural
exchange one-sided in favor of those who dominate the market.
Learning Task 3. Answer the following questions in your notebook:
1. What is climate change? How does it affect the earth and its people?
2. How do human activities contribute to climate change?
3. How can production and consumption of goods be neutralized to minimize
