PIC 101 Notes understanding explaining behaviors. Chapter 1: Social Science Terms Definitions 1) Social Science Study of human behavior, human relationships, and their by-products that include society, culture, and personality. 2) Why study social science? Dev. scientific insights and understanding of oneself and the social world. Dev. tolerance for other people, their culture, and society. Provides info, knowledge, and theories that offer ways of approaching and solving problems scientifically (Kendall, 2004). 3) Chars. of social science 4) Trends in soc sci (2) Very critical and does not accept knowledge unless it follows standardized scientific procedure of collecting, organizing, generalizing and concluding from sets of collected data. MICRO LEVEL - study of small groups and the patterns and processes of face-to-face interactions between humans. MACRO LEVEL - fundamental patterns and processes of large-scale social relations. 5) Division of soc sci (2) Pure Social Science aims to discover knowledge to develop concepts, principles, theories, and laws that will lead to understanding and to explaining human behaviors. Applied Social Science studies human behavior and the social world to get particular scientific results, to test the applicability of theories, laws and principles to solve human problems. 6) Division Social Sciences of a. Pure social science - aims to discover knowledge to develop concepts, principles, theories, and laws that will lead to and to human b. Applied social science studies human behavior and the social world to get particular scientific results, to test the applicability of theories, laws, and principles to solve human problems. 7) Disciplines of Social Sciences a. Anthropology - Study of man as an animal and as a culture-bearing individual that lives in a given society. i. Physical anthropology studies primates, fossils, human genetics, and human variations. ii. Cultural anthropology studies human cultures, past civilizations, and languages. b. Human geography - Studies the relationships between humans, societies, and the natural environment. c. History - Defines, identifies, classifies, and arranges human events sequentially to understand the present and to predict the future on the basis of past events. d. Economics - the study of the production and man’s consumption of goods and services. It examines how scarce resources are used to satisfy unlimited wants and needs. e. Political Science - The study of state and the system of governance. It studies the origin, form of behavior of the state, the constitution, the organization of gov’t, and the methods and techniques of governance and political institutions, and aims to formulate, to test, to develop and to analyze political theories, ideologies, public laws and public administration (Shively, 1997). f. Sociology - The study of human groups, society and the interactions that take place between people, the basic structure of the society, and the factors that hold or disunite groups and society (Kendall, 2004) and aims to develop theories, principles and laws about human group life and how individuals influence group life. g. Psychology - The study of animal and human behavior. It examines the person’s biological and mental make-up, the person’s experiences and functioning, and how it is affected by environmental, cultural, social, and historical factors.

Survey method Historical study Archival research Exploratory study Field study Experimental study Case study past to understand and explain the present, and to predict the future on the basis of past events. 14) Archival research Method of collecting data from census data, birth certificates, newspapers, and other existing records to support a theory or hypothesis, to get a picture of a total situation, and to check the reliability of the results of data obtained by one or more methods of sciences. 15) Exploratory study Method of discovering events and their relationships with one another by noting and recording ongoing events to provide the foundation for more systematic and rigorous testing of hypothesis. 16) Field study Is a post facto study that requires the researcher to go out in the field to study relationships and interactions between variables of people in a real-life situation. 17) Experimental study Provides cause and effect results of different variables that are the focus of study. 18) Case study In-depth investigation of an individual or group experiences and behaviors for a specific period of time. 19) Tools of Social Sciences Observation is the use of the five senses and other scientific instruments to record data with the objective to discover relatively unknown events (Stangor, 1998). a. Participant observation b. Direct observation Interview is the verbal exchange of questions and answers between two or more persons for the purpose of gathering data. Investigates the occurrences, distribution, and interrelations among variables in a large and small randomly selected population with the use of questions. a. Unstructured interview refers to getting information that is not provided by the informant. Examination of past experiences, artifacts, events, and records of the Questionnaire is a written set of standardized questions in a predetermined order administered to respondents b. Structured interview uses fixed format items, the questions are prepared ahead of time. Natural Resources Statistical tools determine the significance or acceptance of the data collected to support or to reject the hypotheses in the study. Chapter 2 [ Environment and Human Evolution ] Philippine Environment 7,641 islands and islets Formed from volcanic eruption 50 million years ago. Sunda Shelf Theory The Philippines was formerly connected to Borneo and the Asian mainland through Palawan and Mindoro to Luzon and through Sulu Islands of Mindanao. Taiwan was connected to Northern Luzon by other land bridges during the Pleistocene period. Asia Philippines lies at the Western rim of the Pacific Ocean, north of the Equator and about 1,000 km from the Asia mainland, on the eastern rim of the Asiatic Mediterranean, in between the Asian mainland and Australia in the Pacific.

Philippine Environmental Problems Destruction of the ecosystem generates an environmental problem. Pollution a. It is when a material is introduced into the ecosystem that is considered to be in excess of the normal concentration and beyond the tolerance limit of the ecosystem. b. 3rd main cause of the extinction of plants and animals. c. Causes pollution-related diseases in the form of diarrhea, bronchitis, pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis, malaria, chicken pox, emphysema, and chronic lower respiratory diseases. Land pollution presence of solid wastes that can no longer be absorbed by the terrestrial ecosystem. Causes of Philippine land pollution Due to increased use of chemicals like cyanide, mercury, asbestos, ammonia, and chlorine by industries and hospital wastes. a. MTDP (1982) report revealed that 80% of the Metro Manila residents and 31% of Cebu residents are exposed to total solid particulates above the normal level Water pollution when pollutants are no longer absorbable by the aquatic environment leads to the destruction of the aquatic ecosystem. Result of water pollution a. increased water-borne diseases b. decline in fish production c. increased expenditures in providing water d. constraints in economic activity 16 rivers of the Philippines are biologically dead during dry months due to pollution from domestic Acid rain Sulfur oxide + nitrogen oxide + rain + heat of sun a. causes acidification of lakes and streams, forest damage, decay of buildings, reduction of visibility, and increase lung and skin diseases among humans. Air pollution Happens when the volume of air pollutants such as sulfur oxide, and nitrogen oxide, and the amount of particulate pollutants are increasing at an alarming rate. The World Health Organization (WHO) took a test in 2002 in the city of Manila and found that the lead in the air of Manila was 3 times higher than the safe limit. Global warming Occurs when the heat can no longer escape the earth’s surface because of pollution. Causes of pollution that contributes to global warming Presence of carbon dioxide and monoxide from burning fuels, methane gas from oil and gas wells, rice paddies and animals Global warming Melts the glaciers that raise sea levels. Destruction of Coral Reefs Causes depletion of marine species and their habitat, depletion of potential food and medical resources, loss of harbor and beaches, protection from flood, and loss of recreational sources for tourists and residents. Overexploitation of plants and animals The condition of over-harvesting wild plants and animals that depletes these living organisms to a point of extinction. Decline of biodiversity Due to the destruction of the original forests, freshwater and marine ecosystems Causes of decline of ● ● Inadequate information Poor area planning system biodiversity ● ● ● Misuse of land Weak enforcement of policies and laws Overpopulation and poverty Preservation and Sustainable Development 1. Promote sustainable use of forests by local indigenous people. 2. Preserve in place program. 3. Establishing gene banks and conservatories. 4. Embarking on bio prospecting plants and animals. 5. Joining international treaties to conserve and to preserve endangered plants and animals. Human Evolution Theories of Evolution (CLD) Curvier Theory of Catastrophes Curvier Theory of Catastrophes, Lamarck Theory of Evolution & Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection and Adaptation The Evolution of Man 1. Primates a. Promisians b. Anthropoids i. Anthropoids 1. New world monkeys 2. Old world monkeys 3. Hominoids a. Apes (Gibbons, Orangutans, Gorillas, Chimpanzees) b. Humans (Hominids) Hominids Assumes that the environment causes changes on the organism’s characteristics as a form of adjustment to unsure survival. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection and Adaptation Various organisms adapt different strategies to survive, but only a certain group of species can survive and reproduce each generation. Evidence to support the Theory of Evolution 1. Fossil evidence 2. Biogeographical evidence 3. Anatomical Evidence 4. Embryological Evidence 5. Biochemical evidence Types of Evolution Microevolution small-scale change in the gene frequencies within a population over a few generations. Macroevolution large-scale evolution that develops new species over a long period of time and can occur through extrapolation of the microevolutionary process. 1. Speciation 2. Mass Extinction ● ● ● ● Ccatastrophe causes mass extinction of various organisms. After the catastrophe, the area is repopulated again by another group of organisms. Lamarck Theory of Evolution Evolutionary Fate of Living Organisms (SM) ● Bipedal and erect. Brain enlargement and elaboration that is divided into left and right hemispheres. Depth, color vision. Small teeth & protected w/ enamel. Dependence and elaboration of culture. 1. Ape Man a.

Adaptation to Thermal Environment 3. Adaptation to High Altitude 4. Adaptation to Infectious Diseases - Animal bones beside suggest possibility domestication. these of remains animal Chapter 3: Population & Family Planning Part 1: Demography Population One basic component of society. Population quantity and quality Spell the development or underdevelopment of a country. Demography Studies the size, distribution, composition, and changes in a given population at a given time and space. Demography Focus on variables that influence population size, distribution, structure, processes, and characteristics of a population. Sources of Demographic Data (CVSHA) Census, vital statistics, sample survey, historical records & administrative records Census - total process of collecting, compiling, and publishing demographic data about the population of a given country at a given time. Vital statistics - data about births, deaths, and changes of status reported by the individual citizen. Sample survey - study of representative portion of the total population to update the record provided by the census. Historical records - documents kept in the national archives. Additional notes: - Denisovans mated w/ early Homo species = Aetas (modern humans; non-habitis/neanderthals) - Genes of Denisovans - Papua New Guinea - Aetas (Aeta manobos) - who have more linkage to Denisovans than people from Papua New Guinea - Homo Luzonensis - their bones proved that our ancestors were from Denisovans. Administrative records non-government data. - government and Theories of Population Growth (MDAT)_ Malthusian Theory of Population Growth - Food and sex are basic to the existence of man. - Population grows geometrically (2, 4, 8, 16, 32…..) while the means of subsistence is only arithmetic (1, 2, 3, 4, 5….) a. International migration - Country > another country b. Domestic migration - Same country, different area Positive checks: disasters, famine, pestilence Preventive checks: use of birth control Demographic Transition Theory - Highly advanced countries passed three stages of population growth. 1. Stage of High potential growth 2. Stage of explosive growth 3. Stage of incipient decline Arsene Dumont’s Theory of Social Capillarity - The people's desire to improve their social status, wealth, and individuality can make them desire less number of children. Theory of Change and Response of Kingsley Davis - Industrialized countries use demographic measures to maximize opportunities and avoid loss of status. Philippine Population - As of 02.2021, PH population = 110, 543, 706 (UN data). - PH population = 1.41% of total world population. - Population density = 368 per sq. km. (952 people per sq. mi.) - 47.5% is in urban area (52, 008, 603 people in 2020). - The median age is 25.7 years. - Growth rate is 1.4 in 2019. Population Composition (ASPEE) Age, sex, place of residence, educational attainment, employment Variables of Population Change (FFMM) Fecundity, fertility, mortality, migration Fecundity - Biological potential to give birth to several numbers of children. a. Female can produce 300 to 400 ova during lifetime. b. If maximum, she can produce 25 babies. Fertility - Social aspect of birth and refers to the actual number of births to a woman. Mortality - It is the actual number of deaths in a population. Migration - The movement of people from one place to another for permanent residence. Factors for Migration (PPT) Push, pull, transportation Ferrante (2003) stated that the population threshold can be reached thru… 1. Less than 50% of the population is employed in agriculture. 2. At least 50% of people (5-19) are enrolled in school, especially women. 3. Life expectancy is 60 years old. 4. Infant mortality is < 65 per thousand 5. 80% of the females (15 to 19 y.o.) remain single or at least are protected from pre-marital sex. Implications of Philippine Population Growth Population & Labor Force 1. Unemployment Rate: 17.7% (7.3 million) in April 2020. 2. Employment rate: from 94.7% in January 2020 to 82.3 % in April 2020. 3. Unmatched: 38.3% (13.0 million) Poverty - 16.7% or 17.7 M Filipinos could not meet their basic food and non-food needs. Housing - 4 out of 10 Filipinos do not have a decent place to live. Health 1. Dependent groups will exceed 10 million that need health care. Waste Disposal 1. 37, 427.46 tons per day in 2012 2. 40, 087.45 tons per day in 2016 3. 77, 776 tons per day in 2025 4. 57% of waste is from Residential areas 5. 27% of waste is from commercial areas 6. 12% of waste is from institutional areas 7. 4% of waste is from the industrial areas Transportation - Rapid population growth leads to high demands of transportation. Part 2: Family Planning Why we need family planning… 3. Availability to the Contraceptives a. Contraceptives that are easily accessible are most likely to be used. 1. Rapid population growth, but limited resources. 2. Large family size reduces the quality of life of the family members. 3. It can reduce maternal and child deaths. Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 The State recognizes and guarantees the human rights of all persons including their right to equality and non-discrimination of these rights, the right to sustainable human development, the right to health which includes reproductive health, the right to education and information, and the right to choose and make decisions for themselves in accordance with their religious convictions, ethics, cultural beliefs, and the demands of responsible parenthood. Family planning Is responsible parenthood that includes counseling parents, of couples to be married about family life, sex, prenatal and post-natal care, and other things needed for intelligent parenthood. Factors that Affect the Acceptance or Rejection of Family Planning (RMIR) 1. Religious factor 2. Mass media 3. Institutional patterns & community framework 4. Rational family planning program Factors that Influence the Choice of Contraceptive Methods (ASAMC) 1. Acceptability of the Contraceptives a. Michael Tan (2010) noted that the use of contraceptives involves power dynamics. b. Men resisted using contraceptive methods because they subvert their powers over women’s sexuality and child-bearing behavior. 2. Sexual Attitude a. It is believed that teaching family planning in schools could lead the youth into sexual promiscuity. 4. Medical Effects of Contraceptive Methods a. Women who have a history of hypertension, jaundice, and tumor cannot use oral contraceptives. b. Women who have a sensitive uterus cannot use IUD. 5. Cost of the Contraceptive Methods a. Upper class chooses contraceptive methods that are effective regardless of the cost while the lower class couples are less likely to choose expensive but effective contraceptive methods. Contraceptive Methods (3 Types) Traditional Method 1. Postcoital Douche 2. Prolonged Lactation (LAM) Behavioral Contraceptive Method 1. Withdrawal (Coitus Interruptus) 2. Rhythm Method 3. Temperature Method Mechanical Contraceptives 1. Condom 2. Diaphragm 3. Intrauterine Device (IUD) Chemical Contraceptives 1. Spermicides 2. Pills Permanent Contraceptives 1. Vasectomy 2. Tubal Ligation Chapter 4: Culture, History & Philippine Values Culture Culture Edward Taylor defined culture “as a complex whole that includes knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, morals, customs and all capabilities and habits learned by men as a result of group living.” Characteristics of Culture 1. Culture is learned through the process of enculturation. iii. iv. 2. Culture is socially shared. 3. Culture is an integrated system. 4. Culture changes. 5. Culture is a body of symbols. Viewpoints in the Study of Culture Ethnocentrism - Is the belief that one’s culture is superior to other cultures. - It can be functional and dysfunctional. - Can lead to culture shock. Xenocentrism - Is the belief that the cultures of the foreigners are better or superior to one’s culture. Cultural Relativism - Is the viewpoint that different cultures should be understood in their own context and that different cultures have their own functions for the people who are practicing them. understand realities. Values - Refers to the quality of things whether desirable or not, good or bad, ugly or beautiful. Norms - Sets of rules that define how people will act ideally, the “ought” and the “should.” 1. Folkways - are customary ways of doing things with little significance. a. Ex. superstitions about black cat, round fruits for New Year 2.

Laws - written norms that are enacted, enforced, and sanctioned by the state. a. Ex. Indigenous Peoples Rights Act 1997 Taboos Are prohibitions against specific behavior considered repulsive and unthinkable by society. Ex. Book - “Ako ay may tt”, mental health Sanctions Rewards for conformity, and punishments for behaviors that are in violation of the social norms. History Paleolithic Period Homo erectus entered the Philippines through the Cagayan Valley land bridges to hunt animals. Components of Culture (MN) Neolithic Period 1. Material aspect a. Are tangible or concrete things that are used by society that include tools, artifacts, arts, houses, accessories, or concrete things like machines, computers or statues with assigned meanings. b. Ex. Batanes house, Manunggul jar, Spoliarium Neolithic Filipinos traveled by boats and sailed along the coasts of Palawan, Sulu, and probably Oceana. Metal Period Filipinos were already using bronze adzes, spearheads, and brass needles, made glass, gold beads, and nephrite ornaments. Age of Contact Asian contact 2. Non-material aspect a. Is the non-tangible aspect of culture that includes knowledge, beliefs, values, attitudes, norms, taboos, and sanctions. i. Knowledge - Set of absolute or objective information that is shared and learned by people in a society. ii. Beliefs - Convictions of the realities of things and events composed of assumptions, basic orientations, and worldviews on how to interpret and 1. Arabs taught the Filipinos the Arabic number system, marriage customs, arts, the Hindu religion, and the Islam religion. 2. Chinese taught Filipinos ancestral worship, respect for elders, arranged marriages by the parents, the use of white cloth during mourning, manufacture of gunpowder, mining methods, and many more. Philippine Culture prior to Western Contact Barangay was organization. 1. Datu 2. Maharlika 3. Freeman 4. Slaves the Values It provides qualities considered to be important in the survival of human society, set direction to decision making, and serve as the basis for evaluating things, particularly human behavior. 4 Tests of Values (EDIP) 1.
