Reflection Paper

Education gives us much to think, question and look beyond the obvious. Education

empowers an individual to think. The best way to satisfy our curiosity is to learn and explore

more without ending the brilliant desire. It is as important as the basic necessities. It improves

your knowledge, gives you a wider view of the world and of how things work, reduces social and

economic difference and thereby promotes equality and self-esteem. Education is also a way of

eradicating poverty because it creates thought independence.

The Philippines is one of the countries with a poverty problem that is creating some

impediments for education. We are known as Third World Countries. On paper the Philippines

seems to be well conscious of education and other associated consequences of deprivation.

However, in fact, in a country already divided into language, religion and economic inequality, it

could become a formula for disasters. Statistics show that only a few young people will apply for

jobs in their educational rites.

The explanation for the poor proportion of Philippine children having access to secondary

education isn't just poverty. Poverty. Bad encouragement from their own families often leads

children to low school success, rebellion and even vices. Students require instruction to be

directed. Another is the lack of funding from the government. You don't pay attention to them

sometimes. We do have teachers who are not willing to teach or provide students with what they

need to learn and pass on the subjects, and often they do not have the help of students because

they do not want to enable them to get well learned. That's why some students can't and don't
want to go to high school. Not only does poverty hinder students from having access to

education, but even social support is lacking.

Ensure that everybody has a high level of education and numeracy, that others have a wide

variety of problem-solving skills and that others have technical skills in the world class would

require new curricula, improved teachers' services, and learning practices to encourage higher

cognitive abilities.

The Philippines primarily needs to determine its educational problems. It is not only for

them, but also for the entire community that the country needs to start developing its academia.

Training supports and enhances people's lives in the country's economy. Education again, since

nobody can take it from you, is the greatest investments in the future.
 Module 12: Social and Political Stratification

What Have I Learned So Far?

1. How are power, wealth, and prestige interrelated as social desirables?

- Strength, richness and prestige are interrelated as desirable social elements as they

decide your social status, ability, popularity, approval or endorsement. This also

defines the ability to control the decision-making process. In a culture that uses

these three social preferences, one is supposed to take a certain function or

position in this.

2. What is social stratification?

- Social stratification is a method of classifying people by socioeconomic factors

and conditions such as wealth, revenue, ethnicity, education, gender, jobs and

social status, or derived control. social stratification in a culture of people's

differences, it establishes hierarchy.

3. How is social inequality produced?

- Economic disparity is caused by societal misunderstandings. This also occurs if

there is uneven distribution of wealth in society. The following individuals are

ignored due to the hierarchy and not treated properly. We even ignore their

responsibilities as members of society. The disparity between rich and poor is at

stake. The following line is a representation of social injustice. The rich are now

the dictator; the poor are the weak because of a money shortage. Capital now

governs our society's equality.

What Have I Learned So Far?

1. Differentiate the two forms of social mobility.

- Two types of social mobility are present, vertical and horizontal. The latter refers

to the transition to the social category of one's status. The first, however, refers to

the upward and downward mobility of the class or rank of the person. The transfer

of an employee to a manager is an example of vertical mobility. The transition of

a management role to another management position in another department is an

example in horizontal mobility.

2. Why is the caste system considered a closed social hierarchy?

- The caste system is known as being closed because membership depends on birth

and lives; castes are also endogamous, which means marriage is prohibited

outside the caste of the person and children are automatically members of the

caste of the parent. Another thing that eliminates the caste system is that the rank

falls, if it is not preserved. The hierarchy is not expected to increase. You will

never be a merchant again if you get a commoner. In Hindu tradition, this form of

hierarchy is typical.

3. Why is the class system considered an open hierarchy?

- The structure of classes is considered an open hierarchy which relates to vertical

social mobility. The effort will affect one's membership in the hierarchy's social

status. You may become a commoner and a trader or warrior. Rank is

accomplished in several different ways, unlike the caste system. It is not known.

What Have I Learned So Far?

1. How is inequality perpetuated in societies?

- In cultures, inequality is caused by greed. The people have an persistent

covetousness. We want more once they have a taste. In all respects, people will do

anything to fulfill their greed, which often leads the vulnerable and the poor to

disregard. And, unfortunately, this is how it is today in our culture. So we all

sprint to the top, this is why the inequality never goes less. We don't want to feel

less. We struggle for food, shelter, clothing, etc. We seem to neglect people who

really want them.

2. How can inequality affect the promotion of human rights and the common good?

- Upholding human rights and the common good is a problem for inequality.

Inequality tends to give rise to civil rights and the common good only to the

wealthy and powerful. Jang Geun Won's "Law is for rule of the poor, not for the

ruler." Examples of circumstances relating to this are: it is easier for wealthy and

influential people to move forward with poor people's human rights and accuse

the poor so they can use their wealth as a ransom or bribery. For me, there are

three publics, wealthy, comfortable and poor. The rich and the affluent are heard

and taken care of when they speak up. No one dares to hear or even consider poor

when the weak speak up. We buried the civil rights of the oppressed and the

common good is only temporary to the wealthy and comfortable.

3. What are the differences in the themes of analyses of the two theories on inequality?

- Functional theory assumes that inequalities and social roles are unavoidable and

beneficial. Significant social roles need further schooling and should also earn
 additional incentives. Under this view, socioeconomic disparity and social

stratification contribute to a skill-based meritocracy. On the other hand, conflict

theory considers disparity as the product of less influential groups with superior

power. You think social injustice inhibits and impedes social change because

those in power repress the oppressed to protect the status. Within the modern

world the influence of culture, our thinking, values, opinions, world-views, rules

and aspirations are the key reason for this work of conquest.

MODULE 13

What Have I Learned So Far?

1. How does formal education differ from non-formal education?

- This work of conquest can be accomplished in today's world mainly by the

influence of culture, our thoughts, ideals, opinions, worldviews, norms and

aspirations. A student is learning and his success is graduated. The student and

teacher have a relation. This is designed and organized. The entire of graduate

school and university are typical examples. The smaller link is with non-formal

schooling. Non-traditional education refers to schooling outside the formal

structure of schools. Non-formal schooling is also interchangeably used with

terms such as culture, adult learning, lifelong learning and second-hand schooling.

2. What problem on educational systems was identified by Coombs?

 - -- The traditional education systems have not been sufficient, to tackle the shifts

in environmental and social conditions. Therefore, because of untrained staff

unable to obtain formal schooling, there is no potential to promote economic

growth. Anyone unable to receive official schooling must at least be prepared to

help them in life in ideals, morals, convictions and lifelong learning. After all, not

all qualified can do the untrained.

What Have I Learned So Far?

1. How does education help individuals to actualize their goals and identities?

- Through teaching people know that they hope to become someone someday in

their lives. Through this way, they become more successful, strive to accomplish

the goals and roles they wish to be. The method of learning helps us build a self-

concept in a community. So we know that we must practice in academia and in

life in order to pursue these principles.

2. How does education create productive citizens?

- Education sharpens the brains of people who make them act objectively. Because

becoming a responsible person needs a great deal of time, expertise and ability

should be academically gained and not by schooling. Training allows us to play

an active role in society. In that, we need to be able to learn, learn and

comprehend situations so that we can adapt and help. We should be active people

to better the world and community through education.

What Have I Learned So Far?

1. What are the factors that hinder individuals from accessing education?

- Prerogatives

- Poverty

- Willingness

- Disability

- Failure to receive information

- Peers

- Sex

- Lack of policy funding

2. According to UNESCO, how is education related to poverty?

- Poverty and education are unconnected because education is a basic mechanism

of social mobility that allows those who are born into poverty to rise in society.

Poverty is not minimized without employment. Training offers people the

opportunity to survive sustainably with the work they will be doing or with

careers that they will soon be having with employment. Low employment and

schooling will hinder economic growth, which in turn will slow down poverty

reduction.
