  Mr. Jhulian A. Capistrano, LPT
• SOCIAL SCIENCE PERSPECTIVE


  • Anthropological Perspective
  • Sociological Perspective
  • Political Perspective
• Institutional Perspective


  The students will be able to understand community through five main social institutions
• INSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE


  • Government
  • Economic
  • Religious
  • Educational
  • Family
• Institutions


  Are grand social structures that are made up by individuals which, when viewed as a whole, exhibit patterns of behavior that create conventions and norms in our society
• Institutions


  Set patterns of behavior by motivating and restricting conduct by set of rules and regulations
• Government Institution


  SOCIAL CONTRACT is an agreement between a master and a subordinate under prescribed rules of conduct and rights; people live together in society in accordance with an agreement that establishes moral and political rules of behavior
• Government Institution


  Government, guided by laws and constitution, grant its citizen with all the liberties and rights; has the power to lead and govern
• People are often misguided by the assumption that the government does not need the support of the people; resources and power
• Government Institution


  Government's power and legitimacy comes from the WILL OF THE PEOPLE; its contract to govern is constantly being challenged, contested, and affirmed throughout its effective period to rule
• Citizens


  Have the OBLIGATION to check the power of the government and counteract any misuse thereof; it is our duty to our country to actively participate and be vigilant
• Economic Institution


  Economists see institutions as the mechanism in which goods, services, and money are distributed
• Economic Institution


  People are actors whose actions are dictated by the law of supply and demand
• Microeconomics


  Is concerned about the behavior of the individual actors and their patterns of consumption. It focuses on individual agents and patterns of decision-making
• Macroeconomics


  Deals with how the individual agents' collective actions correspond to the whole
• Religious Institution


  Religion plays a huge part on how we create our identities; it is one of the pillars of our civilization
• Religious Institution


  Today's society emphasizes on the importance of religion as a communal experience
• In many communities, activities are still tied to the concepts and teachings of their faith
• Philippines = influences from Roman Catholic Church; our urban planning rooted from the communal activities that happens around the church
• Religious Institution


  Religious institutions fill the gaps where reaches of the government fail to grasp; projects focus on rural communities and the poor
• Religious Institution


  Codes of Conduct = intertwined with our core belief systems
• Religious Institution


  Values and mores and grounded on spirituality
• Educational Institution


  Education takes up a quarter of our whole lives
• Educational Institution


  Our initial impression of the community stems from our experiences in schools
• Educational Institution


  Respect for authority, need for compliance, the price we must pay for complacency and deviance from standards and rules
• Educational Institution


  We spend more time in schools than in our own homes; school is where we make our first communal affiliations
• Educational Institution


  Basic education paves the way for individuals to be functional in our society; to arm us with the needed skills and knowledge in relation with the demand of our environment
• We are misguided into believing that what is real is inside the school and we have no obligation outside of it
• The bigger challenge than the ABC's and the X and Y if bridging the gap between what we learn in school and what we need to learn outside of it
• We should not be observers, we must contribute. As a student make use of what is provided and available to you; knowledge, skills, and values you acquire are tools that you will need
• Family Institution


  Families are considered the building blocks of our society
• Family is at the center of every society; it is where the community and our society draw strength from
