Sociology 8 Lesson 1 The Sciences in studying Society A. Operational Definition What are Social Sciences? Social sciences are a group of academic disciplines dedicated to examining society. This branch of science studies how people interact with each other, behave, develop as a culture, and influence the world. Purpose of Social Sciences Social sciences help to explain how society works, exploring everything from the triggers of economic growth and causes of unemployment to what makes people happy. This information is vital and can be used for many purposes. Among other things, it helps to shape corporate strategies and government policies. B. Scientific Limits of Social Science What is scientific about social science? "Social science, which is generally regarded as including psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics and political science, consists of the disciplined and systematic study of society and its institutions, and of how and why people behave as they do, both as individuals and in groups within society. At a minimum it would appear that to be "scientific" entails a systematic and disciplined method of acquiring knowledge, and that knowledge must be verifiable knowledge. What’s In In this module, we are to unpack the details of the Nature and Functions of Social science. But before we advance to the new lesson, let me invite your attention on this short mental workout. As a student during the ‘old norms,’ there is a class grouping every beginning of the school year which we call as “DAILY SWEEPERS.” The mechanics of this daily sweepers are: (a) the class is divided in to 5 groups and (b) these groups are assigned as sweepers based on the days in the week. Most often, the class would agree that a FINES will be set to those classmate who would escape from their assigned task. The amount depends on the agreement. 9 HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS: 1. How would you justify the FINES for not sweeping on the assigned day? 2. What social science arguments you can possibly use to justify the giving of FINES for those who violate the Daily Sweeper Assignment? If you want to examine further, here are few guide questions: a. What is a FINES? b. How would you distinguish a Fines from a Special Payment or Expensive Payment? c. Does the FINES enable a group to achieve the required objective of cleaning a classroom as the case in the daily sweepers? My dear learners, our task is to help situate everything in perspective. The function of social Science is to place situations in PERSPECTIVE. Social Science therefore is instrumental in Society’s Order of Things. Notes to the Teacher This writer is placing high optimism that Teacher/Facilitator will give priority to Loyalty to every Social Sciences. Also, though there is a semblance of connectedness and overlapping of the Disciplines, but please do remember that every Social Science is unique based on its goal and the objective wherein which She was Formulated. 10 What’s New Below are images of the events and or directions of the majority of the human beings. In your point of view, rank the events according to your priority. Put 1 for your TOP priority and 4 as your LAST priority. Write your answer in a piece of paper. Example: 1 – Career 2 - Family . A. Courtship/Dating/ Relationship with the Opposite Sex B. Marriage C. Family D. 11 Basic Questions 1. What is your basis in choosing your Top priority? 2. What is your reason for choosing your Last priority? 3. In your OPINION, what is the PURPOSE of your life? 4. According to Social Science, what is the PURPOSE of life? What is It What is the Purpose of our life? Why is there a Community? How can we envision a Society? These are vital questions. Disregarding these questions brings harm to Life, Community and Society as a whole. Take along to perspective, let me request your concentration to our Operational Definition. “Social sciences help to explain how society works, exploring everything from the triggers of economic growth and causes of unemployment to what makes people happy.” My treasured learners, it is my hope that when you CHOSE YOUR PRIORITISE, you reason is for you to be HAPPY. Other reason outside your OWN HAPPINESS brings problems to yourself and thereby increasing the UNHAPPY PEOPLE in our Community and eventually contributing problem to Society. What is a Community? Community is not a place, a building, or an organization; nor is it an exchange of information over the Internet. Community is both a feeling and a set of relationships among people. People form and maintain communities to meet common needs. What are examples of a Community? Feature of a Community Sense of Place Civility Solidarity Celebration Socialization Identity Participation Information Exchange Influence Fulfillment Giving Description Interaction in a PHYSICAL or DIGITAL Space Treats each other with respect. In situations of conflict, they would resolve it according to NORMS and prevailing Culture Working towards shared goals and values Unity in jubilation of life and culture (rejoicing during fiesta, success) Opportunities for interaction learning new behaviors and acquisition of skills In every individual, the norms of a community becomes part of their life Community events for releasing of dynamisms and vitalities Chances of learning and forming of new knowledge Development of two-way communication whereby people are swaying each other The interaction is an avenue for connectedness and sense of purpose Community exist through the PROMISE of sharing, an individual is always motivated to give back to the community 12 Community therefore is a SITUATION wherein there is a sense of trust, belonging, safety, and caring for each other. They have an individual and collective sense that they can, as part of that community, influence their environments and each other. What is a Society? A. Extensive Definition A society is a grouping of individuals, which is characterized by common interest and may have distinctive culture and institutions. A "society" may refer to a particular ethnic group, such as the Nuer, to a nation state, such as Switzerland, or to a broader cultural group, such as Western society. An organized group of people associated together for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes may also be considered a society. B. Etymological and Sociologist-based Definition The term society emerged in the fifteenth century and is derived from the French société. The French word, in turn, had its origin in the Latin societas, a "friendly association with others," from socius meaning "companion, associate, comrade or business partner." Essential in the meaning of society is that its members share some mutual concern or interest, a common objective or common characteristics, often a common culture. Society and culture are similar concepts, but their scopes are different. A society is an interdependent community, while culture is an attribute of a community: the complex web of shifting patterns that link individuals together. For example: a. Clifford Geertz suggested that "society" is the actual arrangement of social relations while "culture" consists of beliefs and symbolic forms. b. Edward Burnett Tylor wrote in 1871 that "culture or civilization, taken in its wide ethnographic sense, is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society." My Treasured learners, lets simplify this. A. This is a Community 13 B. This is a Society C. Goal of Social Science “Social sciences help to explain how society works, exploring everything from the triggers of economic growth and causes of unemployment to what makes people happy.” SIMPLE Question: What will happen to a Community and or the Society if we put an UNHAPPY PERSON in their midst? What’s More Now my cherished learners, let us come to understand this COVID 19 pandemic in connection with Policies and Guidelines that our Government is implementing. A. Words and Term used 1. Covid 19 virus The current strain is a novel coronavirus, recognized as SARS-CoV-2, according to the National Institues of Health (NIH), and is a new variation that had not been previously identified. SARS-CoV-2 likely originated in an animal and spread to humans, similar to SARS. COVID-19 is the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. 14 Along with SARS-CoV-2, the SARS epidemic (2002 to 2003) and the MERS outbreak (2012 to 2015) were similar strains of coronavirus. 2. Epidemic The WHO says an epidemic can simply be defined as an occurrence of health-related events in a specific region that exceeds the normal expectancy. Because of the different factors surrounding population, previous experience, exposure, time and location (among many other variables), the number of cases needed to qualify for an epidemic varies. 3. Pandemic Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of the WHO, spent numerous weeks in February and early March saying COVID-19 had 'pandemic potential' but stopping short of using the official term before officially making the assessment on March 11. A pandemic is recognized officially as a worldwide spread of a new disease. The recognition of COVID19 as a pandemic was initially held up due to uncertainty surrounding the global scope of the virus's impact. A pandemic refers to how many parts of the world deal with the rate of a disease and doesn't say anything about the disease's seriousness. 4. Lockdown There have been many different utilities of the word lockdown, but during the current coronavirus pandemic, the standard set by countries like China, Italy and France shows a lockdown as a government-imposed ban on any movement inside the country and the closing of all nonessential businesses. This month, police squads in Rome have checked citizens' documents and imposed fines for individuals that did not have valid excuses, even those out on walks or seen taking pictures outside. 5. Flattening the curve According to the WHO, the idea of flattening the curve is for collective action to be taken in order to slow the number of new cases. This is important in order to give people better access to proper care. Social distancing practices are intended to accomplish this and to slow transmission and spread the infections as thinly as possible over time so health systems can cope. 6. Essential vs. Nonessential businesses and services While it is generally up to individual states and municipalities to determine what qualifies as an essential vs. nonessential business. Those businesses include grocery markets, pharmacies, convenience stores, sanitation services, healthcare operations, daycare centers, gas stations, banks, post offices and transportation services, among others are considered essential business. Businesses that are recreational in nature are generally considered nonessential. These include theaters, gyms, museums, casinos, sports venues and others. 7. Nonessential Travel Travel bans imposed by governments and businesses around the world have consistently touted the need to cut down on nonessential travel, whether it is by car or plane. 8. Self-Quarantine People who are at risk of COVID-19 due to potential exposure are recommended by health experts to self-quarantine for at least 14 days in order to determine whether or not they will become ill and contagious. Self-quarantining involves staying at home at all times, not having visitors, staying at least 6 feet away from all people in your household and not sharing things like towels and utensils. 15 9. Self-Isolation Self-isolation is necessary for individuals who have been confirmed to have COVID-19. Isolation is a health care term that means keeping infected people away from the uninfected. 10. Social Distancing Social distancing is deliberately increasing the physical space between people in order to avoid spreading illnesses. Also known as physically distancing, examples of social distancing practices include working from home, closing schools, canceling in-person meetings or hangouts and visiting others electronically rather than in person. In guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), social distancing means maintaining a distance of about 6 feet from others. 11. Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) 12. General Community Quarantine (GCQ) 13. Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ), 14. Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) B. What is the difference between MECQ, GCQ, and MGCQ? 1. Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) Essential workers (doctors, nurses, grocery personnel, etc.) are allowed to go out. Non-essential workers will only be allowed to go out of their homes if they have to purchase groceries and other necessities. Just like ECQ, only essential industries will be allowed to operate—groceries, health services (pharmacies, veterinary clinics), and food manufacturing/production. But the government has also allowed certain manufacturing plants to operate, given that they only allow 50% of their work force. Transportation will still only be for essential workers. Schools will still not be allowed to hold physical classes. 2. General Community Quarantine (GCQ) People living in barangays with no confirmed cases will be allowed to go out for work and other necessary errands. Government offices and some establishments will be allowed to resume operations, given that only 75% or less of its work force will be in the office premises. Transportation services is only for government work and other allowed sectors. Flexible learning arrangements may be made for students and teachers–physical classes will be regulated. 3. Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) Movement of people goes back to normal given that the public continues to wear face masks, maintain social distancing, and other necessary health protocols will be observed. Work in all sectors and schools will be allowed to resume operations at 100% capacity while making sure that health protocols will be practiced (wearing face masks, etc.). Public transportation resumes and observes proper health protocols. Physical classes may resume in full capacity. 16 Again, lets us review our definition of Social Science. For your convenience, below is the definition that I would like you to memorize. “Social sciences help to explain how society works, exploring everything from the triggers of economic growth and causes of unemployment to what makes people happy.” Eyes here: Social sciences help to explain how society works. Few questions; 1. Who decide the naming of the virus? 2. What is the basis for a declaration of an Epidemic? 3. Differentiate Epidemic from a Pandemic. 4. What are Essential and Non-essential business/activities? What I Have Learned At stage, let us test how far we can remember discussions found in this module. Below are 5 questions. Answer as asked. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper. 1. What is the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus? 2. It is defined as an occurrence of health-related events in a specific region that exceeds the normal expectancy. 3. This word is used to categorize the worldwide spread of a new disease. 4. The number of days mandatory self-isolation as a precaution for the spread of Covid 19. 5. Accordingly, how many feet is the distance for Physical Distancing? Essay questions. Kindly provide unbiased perspective and provide factual reference to support your view. Always provide explanation. 1. What is important to you, work or health? 2. What will happen to you if your father don’t work to earn money? 3. What will happen to your community if there are workers RESTRICTED to work? 4. What is the effect if the working people can’t work? What I Can Do At this moment, let us review few of the Government policies implemented and present your own assessment. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper. Here are the guide questions; 1. What is your insight on the motorcycle barrier? 2. If you were the Governor, would you allow back-riders on motorcycles? Why or Why not. 3. What is your comment on the opening of classes for the private schools and extending the classes of the public school to October 2020? 17 4. Are modules helpful to students? 5. What are other method of learning delivery other than modules that would help student? NOTE to Students and Teacher: This Rubric is the basis for grading. 18 Assessment Read the article below and answer the questions using a separate sheet of paper. PNP warns Gadon of arrest for flouting protocols on face mask, face shield By: Consuelo Marquez - Reporter / @CMarquezINQINQUIRER.net / 12:33 PM August 28, 2020 MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police on Friday warned lawyer Lorenzo “Larry” Gadon that he may face arrest for blatantly refusing to wear a face mask and face shield in public places, violating the minimum health protocols in the country. “Hindi uubra ito, DOH (Department of Health) ang naglabas nito at sinabayan ng maraming ordinansa so sa ngayon, kapag inulit pa niya (Gadon) ulit yan pwedeng puntahan ng pulis at pagsabihan at pagpumalag, pwedeng arestuhin,” Police Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, PNP deputy for operations, told INQUIRER.net, reacting to reports that Gadon has repeatedly flouted such ordinance and health protocols, and who has openly been seen and heard numerous times about his vehement refusal to comply. (This is not allowed, the DOH mandated this as well as local ordinances so if he repeats this, police will remind him of the health protocols and if he will disobey, he will get arrested.) PNP spokesman Brig. Gen. Bernard Banac echoed Eleazar’s remark, saying Gadon must follow the rules as he is an officer of the court. “Atty. Larry Gadon may face arrest if he continues to violate health protocols and ordinances imposed by Local Government Units that require the use of face mask and face shield in public,” Banac said in another statement. “As an officer of the court he should know better than to flagrantly disrespect the rules and regulations that protect public health,” he added. Eleazar, who is also the commander of Joint Task Force (JTF) COVID Shield, said Gadon could be liable for violation of Manila City’s Ordinance No. 8627, which mandates citizens to wear face masks in public, and the Republic Act 11332 or the Law on Reporting of Communicable Disease. Gadon was in Manila on Thursday to petition the Supreme Court to nullify a 33-year-old law renaming the Manila International Airport to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). He came under fire earlier this month after a picture of him wearing a face shield with a surgical mask taped to it circulated in social media. The lawyer then made known his disbelief that wearing masks is a deterrent to the coronavirus disease, and that the government was just overreacting to the COVID-19 paranoia. On top of this, Gadon, who is not a medical professional, slammed the DOH for instilling fear to the public on the respiratory disease. He even claimed that COVID-19 is curable. 19 His claims have been repeatedly disputed by the DOH, adding that this “misinformation” is “not a joking matter,” considering the massive number of the population who have fallen due to the disease. The Philippines’ total tally of COVID-19 cases has reached 205,5811 Thursday after 3,249 new infections were logged by the DOH. Based on the latest case bulletin from DOH, there are now 68,357 are active COVID-19 cases.
