 Contemporary Society

A contemporary society is defined as a setting

characterized by technological. innovation and
increasing human interconnection and
globalization. It brings about. changes such as
increased life expectancy, literacy and gender
equality, bringing a natural, equilibrium.

What are the emerging challenges in
Contemporary society?
• Global Warming
• Climate Change
• Transnational Migration and Overseas
Filipino Workers
 Global Warming
-When Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and other air pollutants and
greenhouse gases build up in the atmosphere, they absorb sunlight
and solar energy that has bounced off the earth’s surface, resulting
in “Global Warming”.

-The term “global warming” refers to a gradual rise in the average

temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, a phenomenon
that is thought to be irreversibly altering the Earth’s climate.

20XX presentation title 4

 Effects of Global Warming
• Temperature rises on average
• Seasonal changes
• Severity of harsh weather events.
• Water and food shortages,
• Increased health risks,
• Coastal inundation,
• Increased frequency and intensity of cylones and hurricanes
are all factorsto consider.

 Climate Change
-Climate change has arisen as a result of global
warming. These terms are sometimes used
interchangeably, but they are distinct. Changes in
weather patterns and growing seasons all around
the world are referred to as climate change.
- Climate change is characterized by irregular
changes in the world’s weather system, as
evidence by the following indicators: rising sea
levels, habitat destruction, Oceanacidification,

 Adaptation to climate change and Global
warming
• Practice conservation of natural resources
Air, water, soil, minerals, plants, and animals
are all natural resources on the
planet.Conservation is taking care of these
resources so that all living beings can benefit
from them now and in the future.

• Reduce pollution and waste
1. For on-the-go refreshments, use a reusable bottle or cup.
2. Reusable supermarkrt bags are useful for more than
simply groceries
3. Make prudent purchases and recycle what you can.
4. It should be composted.

20XX presentation title 8

•Reuse water
-Collecting part of water you use in the shower
is the simplest way to start reusing water at
home. A simple bucket would suffice; simply
place it beneath the stream while waiting for the
water to warm up, then move it in front of you
once you’ve jumped in. The water can be used
to flush the toilet or irrigate your garden.
20XX presentation title 9
•Recyle products
Newspapers, magazines, mixed paper, cardboard,
tin cans, aluminum cans, glass jars, and plastic
containers are examples of products that can
contain recycled materials.

20XX presentation title 10

 •Conserve energy
The efforts to reduce energy consumption by
utilizing less of an energy service is known as
energy conservation. This can be accomplished
by either using energy more efficiently (using less
energy for a consistent service) or lowering the
amount of service provided( for example, by
driving less).
20XX presentation title 11
 Global responses
• Adaptation is a long term process of making lasting changes in
response to climate change, with strong policy connections to
economic development, poverty reduction, and disaster
management meaures. At the international, national, regional,
municipal, and community levels, successful adaptation
programs will include long-term thinking and consideration of
climate change implications. Climate Change vulnerabilities,
relevant technologies, capability, and local coping strategies, as
well as government policies and actions, must all be considered
in adaptation planning.
20XX presentation title 12
• The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
stated that unavoidable climate change impacts exceed
present coping capability, necessitating the
implementation of adaptation measures by societies and
ecosystem.
- The IPCC defines adaptation as “adjustment of natural or
human systems to existing or anticipated climatic stimuli or
their effects that mitigates harm or leverages favourable
opportunities.” Despite the fact that there are apparent ties
between disaster risk management and adaptation, the two
approaches are supported by separate institutions,
methodologies, and policy frameworks.
20XX presentation title 13
 -Citizens engagement and awareness are
required to maintain and prioritize
climate change actions. We change,
grow, adapt, and possibly even learn and
grow smarter as humans. As the
international body in charge of
developing policy frameworks to ensure
a multifaceted approach to climate
change, you, as a member of society, may

 Transnational Migration and Overseas
Filipino Workers
• Transnational migration occurs when people move
from one country to another wile maintaining their
social ties. Ir’s a global phenomenon that’s only
becoming bigger in terms of scope, complexity, and
influence. Migration is a source and result of larger
development processes, as well as a fundamental
component of our globalizing world.
20XX presentation title 15
 Factors of Transnational Migration
• Overpopulation
• Poverty
• Underemployment,
• Unemployment, and
• Low wage level

20XX presentation title 16

 Advantages of Transnational Migration
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are a well-known example of
transnational migration. According to the 2011 Philippine Overseas
Employment Agency (POEA) report, the Philippones has 10, 455, 788
million OFWs spread throughout 236 countries and territories , making it
one of the top three labor-sending countries in the world, after India and
China. Remittance made for 12.65 percent of the Philippines ‘ gross
domestic product in 2012. (GDP). According to the National Statistics
Office-Survey of Filipinos [NSO-SOF] (2011), OFWs transferred a large
amount of these Remittance in cash to the family the left behind to help
them alleviate gousehold financial restrictions, send their children to
school, and immigrate.
20XX presentation title 17
-In an unusual turn of events, the Philippines has
become so successful as a labor exporter that it has
neglected to establish and deepen development
processes. The goal of sending a million workers per
year indicated that migration will play a significant role
in the country’s long-term development plans and
prospects.

20XX presentation title 18

 Disadvantages of Transnational
Migrations
• Include anxiety about destabilizing impacts
of migrations and families.
• Delegation of responsibility to
grandparents / nannies to care for their
children.
• Apprehensions about materialism, etc.
