Learning Task 1: Walang Forever

▪︎Way of Life
Before Covid - My way of life before Covid was just normal and usual. My life only revolved in
home and school, usual life for a type of student like me.
During Covid - My whole life only revolved in our home, Doing household chores, taking care of
my younger siblings, having a bond with my family, having my me-time, taking good care of
myself and preparing for the incoming online class.
▪︎View of the world
Before Covid - Different countries before Covid are having a hard time of being united. Some
countries are having wars and conflicts with each other, being competitive in terms of wealth,
freedom and fame.
During Covid - Most of the different countries are unioned and built a better relationship since
helping during this pandemic is truly needed.
▪︎Priorities in life
Before Covid - My top priorities in life before Covid are my family, studies and friends. During
school days I focused on school-related things and doing my best to achieve good grades. I
only meet my friends in school having chit-chats and bondings. During weekends I managed to
find a quality time with my family and do my tasks and homework at the same time.
During Covid - My top priority during Covid are my family, my own health, and my hobbies at
home. I usually find time to bond with my family and cherish moments with them. I also focused
on trying to have a good health and proper sleeping patterns.
▪︎Relationship with others
Before Covid - I can say that I really had a good relationship with my friends before the
lockdown but in terms of my family, I can't clearly say that because I wasn't having enough time
to bond with them and create good memories.
During Covid - During Covid I've built a better relationship with my family since I already have a
time to finally spend with them having a good bond most of the times.
Answers to follow-up questions:
1. Yes, for me these changes because of this pandemic are indeed an example of social
change. Even though it have a positive and negative effect with each and everyone of us. Some
have built a good interactions with their family since most of us are not allowed to go outside.
Having a conversations with each other is actually the one which made a family come together.
In terms of communicating with other relatives, friends and acquaintances, talking is now done
through online. People on outside world are maintaining a social distancing and greeting is done
with distance.
2. Providing a safe and virus-free society is the primary role of the government in protecting us
from the harmful effects of this pandemic. Especially being able to provide the needs of every
citizen in maintaining a good health for having a strong immunity to prevent having a virus.
3. Schools are able to cope up with these changes by finding alternative ways of teaching
especially doing classes through online or module as it was implemented by the government. In
churches, mass are done virtually or with limited number of people to maintain social distancing
with each other.
4. Having a weak immune system is what I am fearing the most to this unexpected event. Since
during this pandemic even normal cough, cold or fever are easily mistaken as Covid-19. I'm
dealing with this fear by eating healthy foods, doing exercise, and maintaining a healthy
emotional or mental health.

LEARNING TASK 2: # PIN - POINT

▪︎CONCEPTS
CULTURE :
- showing respect to older people
- playing folk games
- Helping since we Filipinos are known for that
SOCIETY :
- different infrastructures
- sectors of the community
POLITICS :

- soldiers or officers protecting the government officials, country and people.
▪︎OWN DEFINITION
CULTURE
- Traditions of a specific group of people that was exercised and done even before on the
old age. The way they live everyday life and how they treat each other. This has a great role as
a part of our society since this truly affects citizens even on how they view sides regarding on
different things.
SOCIETY

different ways the moment they live the real life world.

LEARNING TASK 3: # MY PERSONAL SOCIAL MAP

RACE: Being a part of the Cabin Crew

SOCIAL CLASS: Middle Class
GENDER: Female
RELIGION: Roman Catholic
TYPE OF COMMUNITY: Urban
LANGUAGE/ DIALECT: Filipino

Answers to follow-up questions:

1. Social location is important because it acknowledges that all people in a society don't think
alike or experience reality in the same way. Despite many advantages, people in more
privileged positions can be blind to the social experience of those who have encountered
discrimination or oppression.
2. All the features serves as my basis in deciding and planning how am I going to reach my
goals and what path I really want to take in the future. Yes they do provide oppurtunities for me
because as much as these basis try to push me dream not as high as I want to fly, my urge to
become what I want increases more.
3. I must say that yes government are giving help for citizens like us since sometimes they
provide a financial assistance but I can say that those weren't enough to sustain the needs of
people. I ain't sure about it but sometimes I wonder if they cut short the fund allotted to people
who experience poverty and shortcomings.
LEARNING TASK 4:

People of today are living a more comfortable life since we are being guided by the technology
and our live almost revolved with it. Different personalities are visible to every person and it can
be seen on how we move, react, and act in every situation. We are known globally for their
values; love of God, country, and family; diligence and hard work; regard for personal honor and
dignity; compassion, generosity, adaptability, loyalty to a friend or benefactor, respect and care
for the elderly. Having fondness for family reunions during secular and religious holidays such
as Christmas, New Year's eve, All Saints' Day, Holy Week, Fiestas, homecomings, birthdays,
weddings, graduations, baptisms, funerals etc. is evidence that Filipino people valued not only
our cultural tradition but the spirit of our family. We are grown having creative and logical ideas
in dealing with different things.

▪︎This photo best describes the modern society wherein people are ruled by the technology and
the use of gadegts are dominant in every places you're about to go. Communication, exchange
of information and the likes are done with the use of technology and it slowly fades the true
meaning of effective communication.
▪︎Education does a huge role in the society since this mostly influenced people's way of thinking,
actions, and views about life. Society is now build through education that helps in achieving the
improvement of our life and even the community we are currently living.

LEARNING TASK 5: T-M-L PHRASE

- The TOPIC was about the society

- It MATTERS because studying social sciences gives students an understanding of the real
world around them. Students learn about places, cultures, and events around the world, what
conspired to make them the way they are, and can make inferences about how the rest of the
world works.
- I've learned today that society has a lot of importance in our way of living, everyday life and for
future generations. 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.
LEARNING TASK 6: PHOTO ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL ISSUES

ISSUE OR PROBLEM: The continuous spreading of Corona Virus

- Since we are currently experiencing a pandemic due to the issue of Covid-19, common
diseases which are also the stated signs and symptoms of the virus alarms people up. The
normal cough, cold, and fever are sometimes mistaken as a Covid in some hospitals and I think
this brings anxiety or fear to a person experiencing this kind of situation. Having a weak immune
system is also a sub-issue related to this virus because this means low level of immunity will
result into diseases issues and that would be hard for a person.

▪︎In terms of anthropology, anthropologits examine dead bodies of people who died caused by
this virus help to better understand the real state of Covid and how it can be resolved to prevent
the spread of it. Sociologists are urgent to engage theoretically and empirically on the social
impact of issues related to Covid-19. As we have moved further into 2020, governments around
the world have imposed different types of restrictions on social life, in order to quell the spread
of Covid-19 and ‘flatten the curve’. These have included imposing various degrees of social
isolation and restrictions on things like social gatherings, travel, sport and leisure activities, and
going to work/school/university. Political science research has an important role in
understanding how best to tackle pandemics like COVID-9 by rigorously analysing these
different governmental responses internationally and the interplay of ideology, systems and
capacity. It helps us to understand what policy measures governments have adopted and why,
and what their socio-economic as well as epidemiological impacts have been. This knowledge is
essential if we are to optimise government policies to future pandemics, because good policies
need to take account of not only the characteristics of viruses and how they spread, but also
how they intersect with the capacities of governments, and the impacts of those policies on
populations.
