LESSON
LET’S GET GOING: Start-up activity
Take a look at the following pictures and try to relate them to you community. I do
hope the idea that you will generate from this activity will help you in the ensuing lessons.
The images above show different realities in many communities in the urban areas
like Pasig City. Are they common in your community too? What are the reasons behind
the differences in the activities each individual play in the community? Every community
presents multi-faceted and very complicated social realities but each community is
unique.
DEFINITION OF TERMS:
1. Community. A dynamic social grouping whose members settle in a specific
geographical space, submit to a common political institution, engage in socio-economic
activities and share common cultural views.
2. Community Dynamics – consist of the structures that function and interact with each other
creating a process that bring changes to the community as manifested in the ways of life
of the people. The interactions may also cause changes in the structures themselves.
The Philippines has undergone rapid urbanization which continues to this day.
From 2000- 2010 the urban population increased at an annual average of 3.3%,
making it one of the fastest urbanizing countries in the Asia-Pacific. In the last 50
years the urban population has increased by over 50 million, and in 2050 102 million
people (over 65% of the total population) will reside in cities (World Bank 2017a). In
2010, 41.9 million of the Philippines’ population of 92.3 million lived in urban areas
(Philippines Statistics Authority 2013)1 , cities accounted for over 70% of GDP, and the
seven largest urban areas hosted 54% of formal jobs (World Bank 2017a).
4. Applied Social Sciences – are disciplines or occupations that utilize perspectives and
theories developed by experts in various fields of social sciences for application to different
situations in the daily lives of an individual or a community. Considered under this
category are professions in social work, counseling, journalism, economics, political
science and psychology.
Community is a group of people who, since they share common physical space, are
bound to establish patterns of interactions, beliefs and practices which lead to the
formation of socio-cultural, political and economic structures that influenced the everyday
life of the people.
Every community manifests a need to have one institution that will establish and
maintain order within all forms of social interactions and relations. Conflicting views
about almost everything, which is just normal in a community of human beings, could
cause problems to the inhabitants if there are no set of standards for behavior. There is no
guarantee that everyone will perfectly abide by those standards which is why communities
tend to complement their rules with corresponding sanctions for defiant behaviors.
Interactions within the community take different forms. These interactions are
relative to socio-economic status, gender, age, blood relationships, political and religious
views among others. And they are responsible to the many changes that occur in the
community.
Different kinds of interactions are taking place in the picture. Can you cite some of them? (Photo source: restreets.org)
ACTIVITY
Direction: Review all important words discussed or mentioned in Lesson 1 and take on the
challenge with this crossword puzzle.
WRAP-UP
That’s a very productive start up to this subject. Before you proceed to the next
module give yourself a little time to assess how much you’ve gone in the first module.
What makes your community different from the community of identity and community of
interest? How did the different social interactions contribute to the development of you
community?
VALUING
After completing this module I hope you can find time to reflect on how much you
know about your community. Being a member makes you responsible to the community
development process. More so with your situation as a senior high school student and
already positioning yourself for a college degree or an employment. How do you see
yourself after 10 years? Are you still in your present community? Or are you an active
contributor to the community building process? I hope you can share your answers to
your parents or any members of your household.
POSTTEST
I. True or False: Read each item carefully. You just have to identify which statement is
correct by answering true or if otherwise you just write false on the space provided.
2. Journalism is one of the professions that fall within the category of applied social
sciences.
5. Urban centers are multi-cultural because the people are usually migrants from
different places who desire for better opportunities.
