What do you see whenever you look at our flag? If we separate each element of our flag, everybody knows it represents differently from one another.
Red means patriotism and valor, blue for peace, truth, and justice and so on… (http://nhcp.gov.ph/the-philippine-flag-symbol-of-our-sovereignty-and-
solidarity)
But when we put together these figures, we then understand that these symbols create a different kind of image for us Filipinos. It then becomes a
symbol of our identity, an understanding of our nationality, and a beacon of our roots and our pride as a Filipino.

It’s the same with UCSP, we will be tackling and using different disciplines under social sciences to understand the topics about the self, and address
the issues concerning society, nations, and the world. Each discipline is different from each other and has their own field of study and expertise that
describes certain phenomena, however they interdependent to better comprehend and appreciate the concepts of human, society, and nation.

For today’s lesson we will try to discover what are the different social science disciplines we will be encountering for this subject and try to identify
and associate them based on their area of study.

How can I learn this?

Activity 1: Tell me what you see…

ONLINE: SYNERGY & INTEGRITY GROUP

Directions:
Below are images that are related to the different disciplines that we will be learning today.
Describe the picture in three sentences and try to identify under which discipline do you think the image belongs to.
Refer to the rubric below for your answer.

Anthropology
Sociology
Political Science
1.

The picture shows cultural anthropology

because this shows a certain culture from the
Philippines. The picture shows an indigenous
group from the Philippines. The people at the
photograph represent the ethnic group Igorot
which is found in Ifogao.

The photograph shows sociology because

this represents which is a part of sociology.
The picture shows people asking for justice
over the west Philippine Sea. These people
are performing a rally wherein they are
obviously angry.

3.

This photograph shows social conflict

between the public and the government. This

4.

I think that this photograph shows people

panicking at a grocery store. This photograph
shows sociology. This photograph shows that
the store has been ruined due to panicking
people

5.
This shows anthropography, and under
anthropology is paleontography which is the
study of fossils. The photograph shows
different types of the human skull which
came from different evolutions. This probably
shows skulls under Darwin’s theory of
evolution.

showing how people interact with each other.
This shows people having fun and talking to
each other.

7.

This photograph shows the Prime Minister of

8.

This photograph shows people with different

ages. I think that this photograph shows
anthropology because I think this shows
cultural diversity. This shows diversity
because there are different races at the
photograph.

9. This photograph shows different actors or

actresses from different channels. I think that
this shows sociology because their influence
affects how people view the world and
interact with others. This photograph shows

actors and actresses from ABS and GMA.

discipline

TOTAL:

Concepts:

Before we define and understand the disciplines, let us try to learn these concepts that are related to their field.

Culture is generally defined as the sum of an individual’s way of life.

Society is an organized group working together or periodically meeting because of common interests, beliefs, or profession.
Politics refers to the “theory, art, and practice of government.”

We will tackle each of these concepts more and deeper as we go on

through our course. Hope you are excited to discover much about our
culture, society, and politics.
But we still don’t know what anthropology, sociology, or political
science is.
So, what better way to discover that than through an activity. 😊
Hehehe..

Activity 2: Tell me what I am…

ONLINE: SYNERGY & INTEGRITY GROUP

Directions:
Below are the actual definitions of each discipline. Based from what we have learned from the first activity, copy and paste the paragraphs in the
“treasured definitions” and try to deposit it to the correct “discipline bank.”

Treasured Definitions

● focuses on the theory and practice of government and politics at the local, state, national, and international levels. It is dedicated to
developing understandings of institutions, practices, and relations that constitute public life and modes of inquiry that promote citizenship

● the science of human beings especially: their ancestors through time and space and in relation to physical character, environmental and
social relations, and culture theology dealing with the origin, nature, and destiny of human beings

● “the science of humanity,” which studies human beings in aspects ranging from the biology and evolutionary history of Homo sapiens to the
features of society and culture that decisively distinguish humans from other animal species

● a social science involving the study of groups of people, rather than individuals, and attempts to understand the way people relate to each
other and function as a society or social sub-groups

● the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior

● the systematic study of governance by the application of empirical and generally scientific methods of analysis. As traditionally defined and
studied, it examines the state and its organs and institutions

What do I do then with what I have learned?

Activity 3:
Now that we have defined and very well understood the area of study of each discipline. Let’s try to differentiate each of them from one another.
Below is a modified Venn Diagram, write three topics (subjects, matters, issues) that can be studied under the specific discipline. In the middle, write
topics that can apply the three disciplines all together.
