Understanding Various Social Phenomena in the Philippines through

the Integration of the Disciplines and Ideas in the Social Sciences

Tasks:

1. Choose a topic that you consider as a social phenomenon here in the Philippines. The
topics may range from something that’s serious and considered as a national concern
(like poverty, extrajudicial killings, unemployment, HIV/AIDS epidemic, etc.) to something
that’s of novelty (Filipinos’ Fascination for the Free and Discounted Stuff, KPOP Invasion
in the Philippines, The Jeepney as the Ultimate Filipino Icon of Society, etc..)
2. Once you choose a topic, create a catchy title for it, just like those mentioned above.
3. Below your title, please create a short paragraph explaining why your chosen topic
should be considered as a social phenomenon in the Philippines. Provide evidences to
support your arguments.
4. Your next goal is to analyze and explain how your social phenomenon relates to the
different fields of the social sciences. Apart from giving a short overview on how it’s
connected, you also have to provide sources/evidences to support your claims.
5. You can choose a minimum of seven (5) social sciences to integrate on your topic. If you
can integrate all nine (9), then it’s better.

Philippines (Arial; Bold; 19)

BOLD the ideas/evidences that you gathered. DO NOT FORGET to

Sinigang, like any other food, can be traced back to several
generations. Some families even “save their recipes” for the next
generations to appreciate, making it an “heirloom” for them. By doing
so, these families preserve their traditions, with hopes that their
successors will continue to appreciate how sinigang became a part of
their lives.

Apart from sharing the recipes, the elders will also be triggered to
Anthropology remember lived experiences that they can share to the young ones.
Through this, the younger generations can have a grasp on how life
was back then, thus preserving the memories of their ancestors through
them.
