INTRODUCTION TO SOCIOLOGY
Sociology is the systematic study of social behaviour
and human groups. It focuses primarily on the influence
of social relationships upon people’s attitudes and
behaviour and on how societies are established and
change.
It deals with families, gangs, business firms, computer

networks, political parties, schools, religions, and
labour unions. It is concerned with love, poverty,
conformity, technology, discrimination, illness,
alienation, overpopulation and community.
DEFINITION OF SOCIOLOGY
 George Simmel - it is a subject which studies human
inter-relationship.
 Max Weber – it is a science which attempts imperative
understanding of social actions.
 Sorokin - sociology is a study first of all the relationship
and correlations between various classes, second
between the social and non social aspects of life and,
third it studies general characteristics common to all
classes of society.
DEFINITION OF SOCIOLOGY
 Ogburn - sociology is concerned with the study of social
life and its relations to the factors of culture, natural
environment, heredity and group.
 Emile Durkheim - It is the science of collective
representation.
 E.S Bugardus - Sociology may be defined as the study of
the ways in which social experiences function in
developing, maturing and repressing human beings
through inter-personal stimulations.
WHY STUDY SOCIOLOGY?
 To obtain factual information about our society and
different aspects of our social life.
 To understand our society and to analyse the social

factors causing problems.
 To learn the application of scientific methodology.
 To enhance broad-mindedness and tolerance of the ways

of the other people.
THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
 According to Charles Wright Mills, it is the ability to
see the relation between our personal life and the social world.
It enables us to see things beyond our established ways of
acting and behaving, and gain a better grasp of the situation
by relating oneself to the bigger society. It is a set of mind
that enables us to locate ourselves in the period in which we
live and study the events in our personal lives against events in
society, thus gaining a wider freedom.
 It can help us understand what is happening to us and why
such social phenomena occur.
SOCIOLOGY IS A SCIENCE?
 According to Robert Stead sociology is a social science and not
a natural science, because it deals with human beings and social
phenomena. It is positive and not normative science because it
studies social phenomena as it is and not as it ought to be. It is
pure and not applied science because it studies underlying factors
of a social phenomenon. Sociology is an abstract and not a
concrete science because it studies society in general. It is a science
of generalization and not that of particularization because it
studies a social problem in general and not in particular way. It
does not study a social phenomenon from a particular angle. It is
an empirical or rational science because it tries to follow logical
method of data collection.
SOCIOLOGY AND OTHER SOCIAL SCIENCES
 Anthropology – is the study of humanity and the
similarities and diversity of culture.
 Psychology – it is mainly interested in a wide range of
mental, psychological, and behavioural processes.
 Economics – concerned with the human activities
related to the production, consumption, and distribution
of goods, services, and wealth within societies.
 Political Science – concerned with the history and
theory of government.
 History – the study of past events of human beings.
DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIOLOGY
EUROPE
Auguste Comte (French)
-he coined term “sociology” which derived from the Latin
word socius (social/being with others), and Greek logos
(study/science).
-Father of Sociology
He believed that in order to improve society the
theoretical science of society should be developed and a
systematic investigation of behaviour should be carried.
-Positive Philosophy – a book summarizes the stages of
development of all knowledge about humanity.
 Karl Marx (Germany)

- He wrote Communist Manifesto together with his life-long
friend Friedrich Engels.
- In Marx’s analysis, society was fundamentally divided
between two classes i.e. Bourgeoisie and Proletariat who
have opposite interests. In his examination of industrial
society, he saw the factory as the centre of conflict
between the exploiters (the owners of the means of
production and the exploited (the workers).
 Emile Durkheim (France)
- He was the first professor of Sociology in the University
of Paris. He taught and became a prolific writer and critic.
- He asserted that behaviour must be understood in that
larger social context, rather an individual action.
- Division of Labour in the Society – rapid social
change and specialized division of labour produce strains
in society.
- Suicide – showed the relationship between the
individual and the society when the values of life become
dangerous.
 Max Weber (Germany)
- He studied legal and economic history in the University
of Heidelberg, where he obtained his doctorate degree at
the age of 25. He taught to his student the “Verstehen”
(sympathetic understanding of the mind of others).
- He believed that understanding human action by
examining the subjective meaning that people attach to
their own behaviour and the behaviour of others. The
significance of the subjective perceptions of power,
wealth, ownership, and social prestige, as well as the
objective aspects of these factors.
 Henri Saint-Simon
- He believed that the law of human behaviour could be
determine in the same manner that the law of nature had
been arrived at by natural scientist.
 Herbert Spencer
- His theory of social evolution espoused the idea that
societies develop from relative homogeneity and
simplicity to heterogeneity and complexity. (survival of the
fittest)
Other sociologist were:
 George Simmel
Ferdinand Toennies
Wilfredo Pareto
Karl Mannheim
UNITED STATES
Robert E. Park – pioneered in the multi-disciplinary
approach and social ecology.
James Adams – popular female social thinkers who
studies in the impoverished areas of Chicago.
Charles Horton Cooley
Herbert Mead
W.I Thomas
- They formulated theories emphasizing the importance of

social interaction in the development of human thought of
action (Symbolic Interaction Perspective)
 William Summer – collected data on the customs and
moral laws of different societies.
 Talcott Parsons – he was the founder of the sociology
department in Harvard, developed general theory of
action that analysed social phenomena ranging from
individual behaviour to the larger structure of society.
He was a follower of Durkheim.
 Robert K. Merton – known for the middle-range
theory (concerning with linking general theory to
empirical testing and developing concept of social
structure – functions, self-fulfilling prophecies, deviance,
and bureaucracies).
PHILIPPINES
-It was introduced in the Philippines after the Spanish Regime.
First thought by Fr. Valentin Marin to criminology at UST, using
social philosophical way.
-It was followed by American educators named A.W Salt and
Murray Barlett (UP-D),Clyde Heflin (Silliman University in
Dumaguete).
-Some Filipino educators named Condrado Benitez and Luis
Rivera also taught sociology in western orientation.
-Serafin N. Macaraeg view sociology as a problem-oriented
discipline using scientific view but wasn’t successful.
- Social sciences studies made by western social sciences on
Philippine ethnic group when sociology and anthropology
were merged by H. Otley Beyer.
- Significance of social facts increasingly became popular in
decision-making, and Benicio Catapusan benchmark the
data collection to the rural community of different region.
- Philippine Sociological Society (PSS) was organized by
different universities such as (ADMU, UP-D and SU-D). The
objective of the organization is to increase knowledge about
social behaviour, gather data about social problems, train
social sciences teachers and develop cooperation to the other
countries.
- Philippine Social Science Council (PSSC) (1968), was
formed to improved the quality and relevance of the social
sciences. The PSSC Committee drafted a set of guidelines
regarding the sets of responsibilities of social scientists in the
“New Society”. It stated that Filipino social scientist had made
significant contribution to society and urged them to continue their
tasks under the new social order.
- Some Filipino sociologists named: Randolf David, Cynthia
Bautista, Sylvia Guerrero, Fr. Renato A. Ocampo, and
Ledevina V. Cariño.
THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES IN
SOCIOLOGY
Structural – Functionalism Perspective
-It also referred as social system theory, equilibrium theory,
or functionalism.
The society is composed of interrelated parts, each of
which serves a function and contributes to the overall
stability of the society. Societies develop social structure or
institutions that persist because they play a part in helping
society survive. These institutions include the family,
education, government, religion, and the economy. If
anything adverse happens to one of these institutions or
part are affected and the system no longer functions
properly.
SOCIOLOGY
Conflict Perspective
-A group in society are engaged in a continuous power struggle
for control of scare resources. Conflict may take the form of
politics, litigation, negotiations or family discussions about
financial matter. Simmel, Marx and Weber contributed
significantly to this perspective by focusing on the inevitability
of clashes between social groups. Today, advocates of the
conflict perspective view social continuous power struggle
among competing social group.
Conflict theorists are primarily concerned with the kinds of
changes that can bring about, whereas functionalists look for
stability and consensus.
SOCIOLOGY
Symbolic Interaction Perspective
-It focuses on the communication aspects or language that
enables the individual to develop a personal identity within a
society with members having scripted statuses and roles.
-It involves the individuals in the society , their definitions or
perceptions of situations, meanings, roles, and interaction
patterns.
-The society is reflected in every socialized individual, and its
external forms an structures are likewise reflected through
the social institutions occurring among individuals at the
symbolic level.

people communicate and the messages people talk or
write about.
 Use of films and Tape recorder – used to gain more
accurate data such as the visual information and to
preserve in formation.

simple unicellular amoeba to the most complex multi
cellular organism like human being.
B). Theory of Creation

EVOLUTION OF SOCIETY
A) Hunting and Gathering Society
-It is the oldest and the simplest form of society. It was also
characterized by a small and sparse population and having a
nomadic way of life and a very primitive technology. They have
the most primitive tools such as stone axes, spears and knives.
(e.g. Eskimo tribe)
B) Horticultural Society
-It was associated with the elementary discovery that plants can
be grown from seeds. While herding is common in areas with
poor soil, horticultural is more common as means of
subsistence in regions with fertile soil.(e.g. Masai tribe in Kenya)
EVOLUTION OF SOCIETY
Agricultural or Feudal Society
-This society introduced the harnessing of animal power. The
mode of production of the hunter gathering society which
produces none of its food, and the horticultural society which
produces food in small gardens rather than big fields. (e.g. early
Egyptian society)
Industrial Society

SOCIAL GROUP
Society
- It includes the totality of social organizations and the
complex network of interconnected, interdependent, and

DEVELOPMENT OF SELF
Questions:
How does a newly born baby become a human or social
being?
How much our personality determine by our biological

inheritance (nature)?
How much our personality determine by socio-cultural

environment (nurture)?
PERSONALITY AND THE SOCIAL SELF
Human Development
Nature Nurture
- Biological traits - Influence one’s action
transferred from parents patterns and motivational
to offspring through genes skills, factual knowledge,
in the chromosomes of values and tastes.
the sex are composed of - It is the socio-cultural
biological structures, activity in the
psychological process, environment.
reflexes, urges, capacity,
intelligence, and other
physical traits.
THEORIES OF PERSONALITY
Freud’s Theory of Socialization
- According to Sigmund Freud, personality consisted of
the three major systems, namely: the id, ego, and
superego.
A. Id – is the biological component which is the source of a
number of drives and urges.
B. Ego – the mediator between the needs of the individual
and the real world.
C. Superego – the moral arm of the personality,
representing the traditional rules, values and ideals of the
society.
Stages of Development
1) Oral Stage – from birth to one year old. Eating (sucking) is the
major satisfaction of this stage that gives the baby nourishment
and pleasure. Freud described this stage as one primary
narcissism or self-love.
2) Anal Stage – from ages one to three years. The anal zone
become the centre of the child’s sexual interest. The influencing
factors at this stage is toilet training.
3) Phallic Stage – between the ages of three to six years. The
greatest source of pleasure comes from the sex organs. The
child feels erotic desires towards the parents of the opposite
sex. (Oedipus Complex and Electra Complex)
Stages of Development
4) Latency Stage – from ages six to eleven or early adolescent.
Their energies are redirected into concrete, socially acceptable
pursuit such as sports, games, and intellectual. The child possess
new composure and self-control.
5) Genital Stage (Puberty) – they focus on the opposite sex, look
around for a potential love-partner, prepare for marriage and
adult responsibilities.
Symbolic Interactionism
- This theory poses that the self-identity is developed
through the social interaction with others,
mediated by language in the process of
socialization.
- Language is crucial in the development of social-self.
- The symbols that constitute a language represent
concepts by which the person engaged in cooperative
activity acquires the attitudes of others involved in the
activity.
Looking-Glass Self
- Charles Horton Cooley
- The ability of children to visualize themselves
through the eyes of others, to imagine how they
appear to others.
- Three Elements of Looking-Glass Self

1. The imagination of how we appear to other persons.
2. The imagination of the judgement of that appearance.
3. A sort of self-feeling (pride or mortification).
Development of the Self
- George Herbert Mead expanded the idea of Cooley’s
idea of the social-self by relating the idea of the self-
concept to the role taking.
- Stages:
1. Play stage – they acquire a sense of self when they

develop the “me” or self-consciousness by seeing
themselves through the responses.
2. Game stage - they visualize their own action as a part of
a whole pattern of group activity.
Dramaturgical Approach
- Erving Goffman said that “All the world is a stage”
- The individuals are performing and acting for their
audience in everyday life.
- This theory elaborated the idea of role (acting in
accordance with the expected norms attached to a particular
position) and role performance (the actual conduct of the
role in accordance with the position).
Example: a priest/nun expected to be humble and compassionate
SOCIALIZATION
DEFINITIONS OF SOCIALIZATION
Socialization
-It is a life long process which enables the individual to learn
the content of her/his culture and the many behavioural
patterns of the group to which s/he belongs.
-It is process by which the helpless infant gradually becomes
self aware, knowledgeable person, skilled in the ways of
culture into which he or she is born. (Anthony Giddens)
-It is a learning process of development of habits, attitudes
and traits that differentiate individual from one another.
(Anderson and Parker)
PROCESS OF SOCIALIZATION
Stages of Process of Socialization
1. Imitation - self-conscious assumption of another’s acts or

roles.
2. Suggestion – the process of communicating information
which has not logical or self-evident basis.
3. Identification – the child cannot make a difference
between his/her own organism and the environment.
4. Language - It is the medium of social interaction.
AGENCIES OF SOCIALIZATION
Family
- The family is a permanent, the most complete and
primary institution that looks after the needs of an
individual. It is usually the most influential group in the
child’s life.
- The child comes in contact with human beings specially
the mother and the child has physical and social contact.
- It serves as a mediator between the individual and the
other agencies of socialization.
- The children learn to cooperate, compete, accommodate.
Church
- The children are brought to the church by their parents
as early as infancy and are initiated early into saying their
prayers and forming a notion of God.
- This is the agency where the children learn the norms of
conduct and codes of behaviour set forth by the church.
What s right and wrong are delineated, and
prescriptions of rewards and punishments established.
- Involvement in such organizations influences the
individual’s outlook and attitudes.
School
- It was considered to be an important formal setting
where the child spends many hours together with friends
and teachers.
- This the first formal agency which exposes the child to
the rules of larger society.
- This agency is responsible for inculcating knowledge and
skills, which prepare them for adulthood and become
productive and effective citizens of the country, however,
many children from poor families cannot afford higher
education.
Peer Group
- Peer group refers to people of almost the same who
share similar interests. The informal grouping of two or
more members, more or less of the same age,
neighbourhood, or school.
- The office norm, or the unwritten rules of behaviour, is a
product of peer socialization.
- This is the only agency of socialization not controlled
primarily by adults.
- They had no definite set of goals except companionship,
thus, values were observed such as utang na loob,
pakikisama, or damay.
Workplace
- Occupation brings about reality in front of the person as
the individual earns for survival to fulfil his ambition.
Personal goals and basic needs are fulfilled.
- The individual learns to cooperate, adjust with others at
the work place. This were provided in the form of
apprenticeship, orientation sessions, and training
seminars.
- The commitment wherein the work becomes part of the
person’s self-identity.
Mass Media

in a union recognized by the other members of the family.
A nuclear family classified into two:
1.Family of Orientation (origin) – the family into which one is
born, and where one is reared or socialized.
2.Family of Procreation – the family established through
marriage and consists of a husband, a wife, sons and a

SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Types of Family
Based on Residence
A. Patrilocal

relationship, legal obligations, and criminal offenses.
B. Matriarchal Family
- An extremely rare phenomenon, which is a system where
the wife-mother has the authority and power over husband-
father.
SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Types of Family
C. Egalitarian Family
-The authority is divided more or less between husband
and wife. This is promoted by the bilateral system of
descent.
D. Matricentric Family
- The father commutes to work and his absence gives the
mother a dominant position in the family, although the
father may also share with the mother in decision-making.

employment offers the individual the opportunity to
develop skills, and feel privileged to choose mate
personally.
- More permissive norms and behaviour due to city-life
urbanization where daily process of commuting an
working away from home tends to undercut family ties.
- Breakdown of consanguineal family as a functional unit.

Key Issues in Philippine Education
 Quality of Education – elementary and secondary students
scored bellows the mean target of 75% based on standardized
tests. This scores is low compared to other countries.
 Accessibility of Education – drop-out rate is higher among
socio-economically disadvantage students. Tertiary schools are
concentrated in the developed areas.
 Government Budget for Education – the Constitution
provides that the highest proportion if the budget should go to
education, but this is hardly applied.
 Mismatch – training and actual jobs are available are not given
due consideration. This result in the unemployment or
underemployment of certificate or degree holders.

public and private tertiary schools
 Encourage participation of the business and industry sector in
higher education
 Development of a rationalized apprenticeship program by the
private sector
 K-12 learning education for the us to follow the international
standard
SOCIAL STRATIFICATION
- It is perpetuated by the way wealth, power, and prestige
are distributed and passed on from one generation to the
next.
- The presence of the following were observed:
1. Inequality - the unequal distribution of scarce goods or

resources, exists in many different types of cultures.
2. Social differentiation - how people vary according to
social characteristics.
3. Social stratification - how people are ranked
according to the scarce resources they control.
Class Status
- It defined as the rank or position in a social hierarchy.
The status may be classified as:
i. Ascribed
- Assigned at birth
- Caste system - It represents a rigid form of stratification
based on hereditary status, traditional occupation and
restrictions on social relationships.
i. Achieved
- Earned by performance.
- Class system - It is the classification of people based on
their economic positions in society.
Types of Stratification System
Open Stratification System
-Stratification system in which merit rather than
inheritance (ascribed characteristics) determines social
rank .
-It allows for social change.
-It is reflected in a meritocracy.
-Positions are achieved, not ascribed.
-Characterized by equal opportunity and high social
mobility (movement up or down a social hierarchy).
Social Rank in Open Stratification System
Class – the position in an economic hierarchy
occupied by individuals or families with similar access
to, or control over, material resources (e.g., working
class, professional class).
Class structure - relatively permanent economic
hierarchy comprising different social classes.
Socioeconomic status - the person’s general status
within an economic hierarchy, based on income,
education, and occupation.
Closed Stratification System
-Stratification system in which inheritance rather than
merit determines social rank.
-Little social change possible.
-Reflected in a caste system.
-Positions are ascribed, not achieved.
-Characterized by little social mobility.
Social Mobility in Closed Stratification System

of ways.
Upward Mobility -the change to a higher rank.
Downward Mobility – the movement to a lower rank.
Intergenerational Mobility - the change of people’s class
or status within their own lifetime experience.
Intergenerational Mobility - the movement between
generations, usually measured by comparing the
positions of parents and children.

individuals at different stages in their lives. There is
unequal distribution of wealth, power and privileges
among people at different stages in the life course.

DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR
DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR
Deviant Behaviour
-The behaviour that violates norms.
-It varies in different cultures or in a given culture in a
period of time.
Deviant
-The expression of radical or unusual political or religious
belief.
Deviance
-The function of the pigment of a particular group who
observe the behaviour.
EXPLANATION FOR DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR
Biological
-Being deviant is coming form physical or biological makeup.
-According to some biologist, said that deviant behaviour is
a result of aberrant genetic traits.
Psychological
-Being deviant is a result of personality disorder or
maladjustment that develops during childhood.
-It can be observe in from aggression against others or
against society because of frustration.
SOCIOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO DEVIANCE
-According to Durkheim and Merton assert that deviant
behaviour is a consequence of anomie or normlessness
which results from the existence of diverse sets of norms,
with none of them closely binding upon everybody.
Control Theory
-It asserts that deviance is learned. Participation in
subcultures and counter-cultures is part of the
socialization process of being a deviant.
SOCIOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO DEVIANCE
Conflict Theory
-The heterogeneous nature of society and the differences in the
distribution of social power lead to a struggle between social
classes. The conflict between the powerful and the weak affect
the creation of deviance and society’s response to it.
Symbolic Interactionism
- As the people interact with a deviant, they acquire the
techniques, motives, drive, and attitudes appropriate to such
behaviour. Labelling theory, is also belong to this perspective
explaining on how crime and deviance become defined and
labelled and the effect on a person being so labelled, especially by
official agencies and other persons.

place to place.
2. Social change is sometimes intentional but often
unplanned.
3. Social change often generates controversy.
4. Social change are more important than fads and
fashions which only have a passing significance, like
innovations.
SOCIAL CHANGE AND TECHNLOGICAL
DEVELOPMENT
There are social patterns which are inked to
industrialization. Peter Berger notes four general
characteristics of modernizations:
1.The decline of small, traditional communities.
2.The expansions of personal choices. People see their lives
as an unending series of options.
3.Increasing social diversity. Traditions loses its hold and
morality becomes a matter of individual attitude.
4.Future orientation and growing awareness of time.
Changes of thinking in terms of sunlight and seasons to
hours and minutes.
LEVEL OF HUMAN ACTION AND
CHANGE
1ST: Individual personality – it focuses to externally induced
stimuli which are stimuli abstracted from the social world that
is either ignored or considered relevant.
2nd: Interaction among individuals – this involves not only
in the relation among human beings but also the personality
development virtually entirely from human interaction.
3rd: Group of social systems – explains that the unit of
analysis, particularly the emergent properties of the group
where the social level is thought to reside.
4th: Cultural system – the major emphasis is given by society
to the learning and transmission of values and symbols.
THEORIES OF SOCIAL CHANGE
Evolutionary Theory - characterized primarily by an
assumption of smooth, cumulative change, often in a linear
fashion, and always in the direction of increasing complexity and
adaptability.
Equilibrium Theory - characterized by the concept of
homeostasis, and focuses on conditions tending towards stability
as a consequence.
Conflict Theory - characterized by the assumption that change
is endemic to all social organisms, and focuses on conditions that
tend towards instability as a consequence.
Rise and Fall Theory – characterized by the assumption that
societies, cultures, or civilization regress as well as grow, and
that all societies do not move in the same direction.
CAUSES, SOURCES AND BARRIERS
OF SOCIAL CHANGES
- It is the result of cultural change and/or technological
change, and it can influence either or both. Its rate,
direction, and form can be gauged through the factors of
time, place, goals, and objectives.
- It is caused by the interplay of a large number of non-
social and social factors.
- Some sources of social change are evolution, discovery,
invention, and diffusion. Its order may be understood in
terms of how individuals, groups, or institutions accept
change.
What are the impacts of social change?
SOCIAL MOVEMENT
SOCIAL MOVEMENT
- It is a type of collectivity composed of people who share
sentiments or grievances who unite to promote or resist
change.

considering people supporters whose level of activity/support
is weak.
2.Outsiders – those who may tend either
underestimate/overestimate the level of support/activity of
elements of a movement, by including/excluding those that
insiders would exclude/include.
SOCIAL MOVEMENT THEORIES
 Collectiveaction theories (Robert E. Park) – states that the
behaviour is always driven by group dynamics,
encouraging people to engage in acts they might consider
unthinkable under typical social circumstances.
 Relative deprivation theory – it emphasize the individual
experience of discontent when being deprived of
something to which one believes to be self to be entitled.
 Marxist theory/Conflict theory- commonly exist in the
economic functions.
 Value-added/Social strain theory – states that the rapid
social changes came from social movements.
COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOUR
COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOUR
- The forms of social behaviour bot guided by usual
conventions and involving a transgression of established
institutional patterns and structures. (Turner and Killian)
- It occurs in stress situations, usually brought by social
changes, and is characterized by a high degree of
emotions.
- It refers to “ways of thinking” feeling, and acting that
develop among a large number of people which are
relatively spontaneous and unstructured.
TYPES OF COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOUR
 Crowd – is a transitory group of persons in an ambiguous and, to some
degree, unstructured situation in which participants do not have a clear
and pre-existing knowledge of how to behave, but feel that they can do
something to correct the situation.
Types of Crowd
1. Casual crowd – loosely organized and very momentary type of grouping
whose member come and go. (e.g. people in a midnight sale)
2. Conventionalized crowd – established regular ways of behaving, depending
upon the time and place of performance and order of activities. (e.g.
people in ball games)
3. Acting crowd – volatile group of excited person whose attention is
focused on a controversial or provocative issue which arouses action if
not indignation.
 Mass – composed of desperate individuals, each
responding independently to the same stimulus in a
similar way.
- The mass has no social organization, no established
leader, no structure of statuses and roles.
- The mass behaviour must be observe in migration
evacuation (refugee), reported sties of miracles, sensational
crime trial, public scandal or dramatic scandal or Typhoon
Yolanda victim.
 Public – the members are confronted by issues and they
discuss, argue, debate, compromise, and form composite
views.
- The public behaviour can be seen on the issue of public
opinion and through the use of mass communication
(newspaper, radio, television, motion picture, movie, and
internet).
 Social movement (see previous discussion)
THEORIES ON COLLECTIVE
BEHAVIOUR
 Convergence perspective – according this theory the
participants have common characteristics such as similarity in
social positions based on income, education, social class, and
relative deprivation.
 Emergent perspective – according this theory collective

behaviour is not characterized by unanimity but by differences
in expressions and emotions.
 Smelser’s Value Added Approach –it assess the

behaviour involved and work out some forms of social
control.
COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY
- It is a social organization that is territorially localized and
through which its members satisfy most of their daily needs
and deal with most of their common problems.
- A social grouping where members carry on a common
interdependent life and share commodities or bonds.
- It may be classified as rural and urban, in highly
industrialized societies, the distinction between the two
becomes blurred.
- The difference in occupation, population density, social
interaction, social stratification, social differentiation, and
social unity became the criteria.
RURAL COMMUNITY
- Rural community are often small. The occupations of the people
are farming, fishing, forestry, supplemented by cottage industries.
- Families in rural areas are usually nuclear, consanguineal,
bilateral, and either bilocal or neolocal. A highly incidence of
poverty prevails.
- Education in these areas are not accessible to many pupils on
some barangay. Dropouts rates are higher in the rural than in
urban areas. Many colleges graduates eventually migrate to the
urban areas.
- Majority of the people are Roman Catholic, Aglipayan (north)
Islam (south) but believing in folk catholicism. Usually fiesta was
associated with the religious beliefs and activity.
RURAL COMMUNITY
- Healthcare in rural community are deplorable, and a
great number of children suffer from severe malnutrition.
- The government provide services to the rural areas in
the country however, the exist of exploitation and
capitalism come into place that became the hindrance of
development to the said area.
- Today, in order to improve the conditions the
government still have a LOT of project to be done.
URBAN COMMUNITY
- Is where the concentration of the people within a relatively
small geographic area. The urban community may be a city of
something resembling a city, which is a relatively large, dense,
and permanent settlement of socially heterogeneous
individuals.
- The occupations are usually non-agriculture.
- In urban community, the idea of urbanization emerged it
refers to the process of concentrating people within a relatively
small geographic area. It is related to social change and growth. It
requires a shift in values, attitudes, and behaviour that are
compatible with the local urban patterns and, therefore, requires a
long period of time for a peasants to internalize an urban life-style.
URBAN SOCIAL PROBLEMS
 Pollution – classified into two namely:
1. Air pollution – mostly form fumes and smoke from motor
vehicles, factories and other industrial establishments.
2. Water Contamination – results of indiscriminate dumping
of garbage into the creeks, rivers and lakes.
 Garbage – aside from being eyesore, it also serves as the
contributor for floods during rainy days.
 Traffic – result of lack of master plan for the authorities
and lack of discipline among the owner of the vehicles
and people.
DEMOGRAPHY AND
POPULATION
DEMOGRAPHY AND POPULATION
- Population refers to the total number of person inhibiting
a country, city or any district. It also deals with the
observable and measurable data.
- Demography is the study of the size and make-up of the
human population and how it change. The main sources of
demographic data are:
1. The population census, with data on age, sex, occupation,
employment status, and migration.
2. Vital registration statistics like birth, death, and marriages.
3. Sample or special surveys on households.
4. Data gathered and processed by government agencies.
MATHUSIAN THEORY OF POPULATION
Thomas Robert Malthus
-According to his “Essay on the Principle of Population”, because
of the strong attraction between the two sexes, the population
could multiply rapidly and, resulted to increase of reproduction
faster than food supply.
-Also, as the population grows bigger, food production would be
insufficient and most likely, famine and overcrowding would
cause widespread suffering and disease and an increase in death
rate, which is nature’s check on over population.
-He suggested that an alternative is to postpone married until a
much later age so that birth rate may be decreased.
MATHUSIAN THEORY OF POPULATION
Two solutions (Thomas Malthus)
Positive checks to overpopulation by increasing the death
rate; which include war, famine, pestilence, and disease.
Preventive checks to prevent overpopulation by limiting
the number of live births; which include abortion, infanticide,
sexual abstinence, delayed marriage, and contraceptive use.
- This theory debated in the form of science and technology

PROCESS IN POPULATION CHANGE
 Fertility
- It is the ability to produce offspring. It indicates the rate at
which babies are born. According to the demographers,
women have a potential for bearing age at age of 15 to 50.
- The fertility rate of a community was affected by some factors
such as weather, environment, religion and societal norms about
children and marriage.
 Life expectancy
- The average number of years a persons is expected to live
from time of birth. It is hard to determine this accurately
because local statistics on birth and death rates are incomplete
and inadequate because some data are not registered.
PROCESS IN POPULATION CHANGE
 Mortality
- The rate of death in population. A population with many
old people will naturally have a higher death rate than a
comparatively young population. It is also assumed that
because women live longer than men, a population with
many women will have lower death rate.
 Migration
- The movement of people for permanent residency. It

includes immigration, movement into an area, while
emigration is movement out of an area. This can be
divided into pull and push factors.
Fig. 3. Paradigm of Population in the Philippines and the Social Sciences Discipline
BASIS OF POPULATION EXPLOTION
Historical
-One of the most important of Spanish colonization in the
Philippines was the propagation of the Roman Catholic.
Since, the church does not favour birth control. There is a
high rate of population growth.
Sociological
-In rural areas, they believe that all events are
predetermined and inevitable and that the happening that
come their way are the results of fate and destiny.
-The men and women feel ashamed to submit in artificial
methods of family planning.
Economic
-In rural areas, the perception of some people that children serves
as their economic assets. They think that a big family is better than
a small one because children can earn a livelihood for the family.
Anthropological
- It assumed that basis of population explotion is the Filipino values,
belief system, customs and traditions. The extended family expected
that the couple to have a number of children during the marriage.
One is not surprised to hear remarks like, “bakit wala pa?”, if the
pregnancy does not takes place after marriage. The husband is
jokingly branded to be “mahina” if his first child is not followed by
another one year after.
Political science
-It is observed that those whose come from high income
groups, most often, come from educated parents who have
limited the number of their children. On the other hand,
the poor with many children, by and large, do not have
taxable income.
Geography
- The rate of population growth in the rural areas is
significantly higher than that in the urban. (debatable)
MARRIAGE
Why people marry???
Age preference for marriage??

MARRIAGE
- It is the foundation of the family, an inviolable social
institutions. This is also serves as the continuation of the
cultural mechanism of the family.
- Sex and sexual attraction is least consideration, but marriage
makes a sexual intercourse legitimate.

women. The opposite for Cougars.
VOID AND VIODABLE MARRIAGE
 Annulment
- The process which makes the marriage contract null and
void, in which case, the law sees that no marriage has
taken place. The New Family Code recognizes the
annulment of marriage bond where the parties are free
to marry again without fear of violating any law.
- The grounds for annulment are lack of parental consent
of a minor before the marriage, insanity of one party,
fraud, force, intimidation or undue influence,
impotence of one party, and serious sexually
transmissible disease of the either party.
 Divorce
 Legal separation
- This is a judicial declaration when the separation of
husband and wife merely entitles the spouse to live
separately (in house or in bed), but not dissolving the
marriage.

5. Attempt of respondent to corrupt or induce the petitioner.
6. Drug addiction or habitual alcoholism of the respondents.
7. Final court judgement sentencing the respondent to imprisonment of more than 6
years, even if pardoned.
8. Lesbianism or homosexuality of the respondents.
9. Sexual infidelity or perversion.
10. Abandonment of the petitioner by respondent without a justifiable cause for
more than one year.

member of the family through the use of family planning
methods to regulate the number of the children.
- It reduces the need for unsafe abortion.
- Some family planning methods help prevents the transmission
of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
- It reinforces people’s rights to determine the number and
spacing of their children.
- It allows people to attain their desired number of children
and determine the spacing of pregnancies. It is achieved
through use of contraceptive methods and the treatment of
infertility.
BENEFITS OF FAMILY PLANNING
 Preventing pregnancy-related health risks in women.

 Help to prevent HIV/AIDS.
 Empowering people and enhancing education.
 Reducing adolescent/pre-marital pregnancies.
 Slowing population.
Note: Benefits of family planning was not only for the society but
also for individual health.
METHODS OF FAMILY PLANNING
Natural family planning
-The natural way of avoiding pregnancy by observing,
recording, and interpreting changes in the cervical mucus
or basal body temperature in order to determine the safe
and unsafe days of menstrual cycle.
-The couple prevents pregnancy by avoiding unprotected
vaginal sex during most fertile days, usually by abstaining or
by using condoms.
-There should be an observation of few cycles which is
necessary before effective practice of method.
Calendar rhythm
-The use of calculations to determine safe and unsafe days
of the menstrual cycle, based on past cycles.
-This method is recommended for women with regular
menstrual cycles ad who feel themselves capable of
following the requirements of method and for women who
cannot use artificial contraceptive.
Coitus interruptus (Withdrawal)
-The male withdraws his penis from his partner's vagina,
and ejaculates outside the vagina, keeping semen away from
her external genitalia.
Calendar Method
Cervical Mucus
Tubal ligation
-This is don by cutting-off the fallopian tube to block
completely the passage of ovum and prevent it from
meeting the sperm.
Vasectomy
-This requires a simple operation by cutting-off the vas
deference so that the sperm will not entre the semen that is
discharged.
Note: Minor discomfort is experienced by the acceptor, who need

to rest from work for two to three days after the operation.
Tubal Ligation
Vasectomy
Intrauterine device (IUD)
-A small, soft plastic device that is inserted into the uterus.
It can be placed or removed by trained personnel only.
The acceptors may experience minor discomfort after
insertion and the possibility its being expelled.
Pills/Oral contraceptive
-It is a combination of synthetic hormones. It is intended
for women 19 to 34 years old who desire to space child-
bearing. It may be inconvenient since the pills is taken daily
IUD’s
Pills
Injectable Contraceptive
-This is administered by one-dose injectable contraceptive
containing progesterone and injected every three months.
This is intended for women 18-40 years old who wish to
space or limit child-bearing. It gives women freedom from
menstruation an the associated blood loss. however, one
advantages of this method may be vaginal spotting even
before the regular menstrual period.
Implants
-It is a small, flexible rods or capsules placed under the skin of
the upper arm; contains progesterone hormone only. Only the
health-care provider must insert and remove this product. It can
be used for 3–5 years depending on implant. Like injectable
irregular vaginal bleeding is common but not harmful.
Condom
-It is a soft and thin rubber sheath worn on the erect penis
before sexual intercourse to prevent the sperm. It gives
protection against the transmission of sexually transmitted
diseases. However, this may cause inconvenience to users, since
they have to interrupt love-making in order to put it on.
Implants
Condom
SOCIAL PROBLEMS AND
ISSUES
DIMENSIONS AND ORIGIN OF SOCIAL
PROBLEMS
- It may be inferred that no society succeeds in getting all
its people to behave as expected all the time because all
societies have social problems.
- A social problems exist when a significant number of
people perceive an undesirable difference between social
ideals and social realities.
- In addition, a social problem involves the deviance
among in the society and natural events such as
earthquake, typhoons, eruption of volcano, floods, famine
and epidemics that greatly affects the human lives in the
society.
POVERTY
- It is a condition that exist when people lack the means to
satisfy their basic needs. Extreme poverty is the main
cause of malnutrition and poor health.
- Sociologically, it defines as “denial of choices and
opportunities for living a tolerable life”. It is considered as
the symptom of a social cancer.
- It is associated to criminality, breakdown of morals and
socially accepted behaviour, low educational attainment,
low property values and poor life changes.
- It has also devastating effects in the families, often forcing
parents to abandon children to seek employment in their
countries, not aware of the social costs.
CAUSES OF POVERTY
 Colonial mentality
 Dependence of Philippine economy on foreign capital and
investment
 Capitalism and exploitation
 Cheap labour
 Graft and corruption
 Overpopulation
 Unemployment and underemployment
 Low and limited educational attainment and illiteracy
THEORIES OF POVERTY
Culture of poverty theory
-It is the result of cash and economy, labour wage and
production for profit, high rate of employment and
underemployment of unskilled labour, low wages and
inadequate social and economic organizations to serve the
low-income bracket of population.
-It observed that poor members of the society are less
permissive in socializing with other children, more fatalistic
about one’s views in life, lack an interest in formal
education, and usually pleasure-oriented.
THEORIES OF POVERTY
Dependency theory
-accordingly, poverty in underdeveloped society has been
the result of a colonial socio-economic structure. The
growing of poverty among the underdeveloped countries is
due to the forced incorporation of the economy of the
developed countries.
-The massive exodus of money from underdeveloped
regions of the world also intensifies the destruction of
natural resources.
-This apparent dependency of underdeveloped countries to
the highly developed countries has led to the increasing
impoverishment of the dependent country.
THEORIES OF POVERTY
Social Darwinist Theory
-It assumes that the assets that economic survival of any
society depends, to a large extent, on the individuals
endowed with superior intelligence that will plan, control,
regulate and lead its development.
-It also reveals that the upper and middle class students
who can speak and understand the English language have
better chances of passing the prescribed examinations for
job hunting.
THEORIES OF POVERTY
Theory of Capitalism
-The continuous exploitation of poverty of the people to
accumulate huge profits. The poor are always sacrificed the
price of technological development.
-This theory proposed by Karl Marx which reveals the
relationship and conflict between the exploiters and
exploiter. These relationships had been the entire system
of economic, social and political involvement, which has
virtually been established to maintain the power and
dominate of the owners over the workers.
FACES OF POVERTY
 Shanties under the bridge
 Brain-drain syndrome
 Criminals
 Prostitutions
 Malnutrition
 Increase of mortality rate
 Rapid growth of population
- This is according to the speech of former President Gloria

Macapagal-Arroyo during the UN Congress in New York City,
last 2009.
STRATEGIES TO REDUCE POVERTY
1.Equitable and sustained economic growth.
2.Focused targeting
3.Effective and efficient delivery of public goods and base
social services.
4.People empowerment
5.Long-term solution to the problems of hunger.
6.Developed literacy programs.
7.Expand employment opportunity.
“Don’t give them fish, instead teach them how to catch a fish”
CRIME
- The problem of juvenile delinquency and crime apart to
be common in all societies. Some of the major causes of
juvenile delinquency and crime are social disorganization,
poverty and broken homes.
- The Child and Youth Welfare Code explicitly defines the
youth offender as “one who is over nine years but under
twenty-one years of age at the time of the commission of the
offense”. A child which is nine years old or under when
the offense was committed shall be exempt from criminal
liability and shall be placed in the custody of the parents,
or the nearest relative, or the family friend, in the
discretion of the court and subject to its supervision.
CAUSES OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
1. Social Organization – the desire for power, wealth
and prestige, the atmosphere where fear, hate,
antagonism and hostility are prevalent are elegant
manifestation of social or disorganization.
2. Poverty – exist when the people didn’t satisfy his/her
basic needs.
3. Broken Home – the separation of husband and wife
brought about by war, migration, imprisonment,
employment outside the country, marital discord,
bickering, infidelity, and lack of trust that consequently
lead to legal separation.
PREVENTION OF JUVENILE
DELINQUENCY
Individual Programs
Individual Behaviour Therapy – aims to modify the
behaviour of the delinquent by changing the environment in
which the behaviour occurs.
Social Skills Training
-It focused on micro-skills, such as eye contact and body
postures; macro skills, such as negotiating with and handling
encounters with the police authority; and institutional
behaviour, such as avoiding fights and other forms of
brawls.
DELINQUENCY
Cognitive Behaviour Programs
Self-control and self-instruction
Anger control
Role Taking
-The program designed to encourage young male
delinquents to see themselves from the perceptive of other
people to develop their own role-taking activities.
Social Problem-solving
- It includes the skills of sensibility to interpersonal
problems, the ability to choose the desired outcome of a
social exchange (means-end thinking).
DELINQUENCY
Moral Reasoning Development
-It increase the morality belief of the young delinquent.
Multimodal Programs
-The program will improve the self-control, and reduced
problem behaviour.
Institutional and Community Program
-This program includes; secure institutions, residential
establishment, school-based intervention, family
intervention and diversionary projects.
PROSTITUTIONS
- Prostitution as a social problem is considered as old as
mankind. It is the sale and purchase of sexual relations.
- This is the act or practice of engaging in sexual relations in
consideration for money.
- There can be homosexual favours to women; but it is the sale
of female sexually to men that have usually been the
predominant pattern and, to a great extent, has given rise to
the greatest social concern.
- Also, there is an misleading view of prostitutions as being
something “done by” prostitutes while ignoring the casual
significance of male demand for their services, is itself indicative
of the sexual double standard on which phenomenon of
prostitutions rests.
TYPES OF PROSTITUTIONS
Female Prostitutes – they are usually seen in bar or street
and sometimes calls as “street walkers” or “hookers”. In
some cases, there were a called as high class prostitutes
known as the “escort girls” and “guest relation officers”,
sometime they are working as sauna attendants, night club
hostesses, hospitality girls, escorts and models.
Male Prostitutes – prostitutes that cater principally to
homosexual males.
They can be seen roaming around in conspicuous places
with no apparent purpose like department stores, shopping
malls, lobbies, and even hotels and gay bars where
homosexuals act as masseurs and escorts.
TYPES OF PROSTITUTIONS
Child Prostitution
-This common to some foreign tourists coming from
different countries and want to experience what our
country can offer. The issue of pedophilia surprising
nowadays, since we have always read the “fresh victim” of
prostitutions.
-It assumes that broken homes can make people shy way
from normal adult heterosexual relationship since children
are less threatening and more passive sex partners.
-I may also inferred that when the child prostitute grows
up, he/she likely to become a pedophile.
CAUSES OF PROSTITUTIONS
Poverty
-Being hopeful of a better life, so they sacrifice everything in
exchange of money.
Illegal recruitment
-Sometimes young people from rural areas are the target of illegal
recruitment, a promise of better job and better life makes them
involve in prostitution without knowing than they were became
one.
Lack of education and information
-The promise of a good-paying job, aside from other benefits like
free board and lodging, beautiful dresses and expensive jewelry
become the motivating factors why they are trapped into the illicit
trade.
Why prostitutes stay in their job?
1. For a better life until they meet someone who is willing take
them out of this job.
2. Enjoyment; they find it easy, glamorous and less demanding.
3. Maintenance of fabulous life.
4. Income higher than housemaids.
5. They were forced to this kind of job because of extreme
poverty.
6. No available jobs for survival.
7. Broken homes.
8. Being loners during adolescence.
EFFECTS OF PROSTITUTION
1. Promotes and facilitates the spread of sexually
transmitted diseases.
2. Health problems among prostitutes.
3. Drug addiction that lead to commit crimes.
4. It violates the monogamy which is sharing of sex with
only one partner.
5. Psychological demanding and adventurous to their
partners for satisfaction.
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
(AIDS)
- This is a human viral disease that ravages the immune system,
undermining the body’s capacity to defend itself against certain
microbial organisms.
- It is cause by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV), which attacks selected cells in the immune system and
produce defects functions.
- This leads to so-called neuropsychiatric abnormalities, or
psychological disturbances caused by physical damage to nerve
cells.
- Historically, the disease first identified in 1980 among
homosexual men and injection drug users in New York and
California, shortly after evidence grew of epidemics in Saharan-
Africa and Haiti.
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
(AIDS)
- AIDS has become worldwide. By 1995, 477, 900 Americans had
developed the disease which 295, 500 had died and worldwide
more than 14 million people were believed to be infected.
- In 1996, an estimated 22.6 million people worldwide were living
with HIV/AIDS (21.8million adults and 830, 000 children).
- The WHO estimate that between 1981, when the first AIDS
cases were reported, and the end of 1996,more than 8.4million
adults and children had developed AIDS.
- There were 6.4million death worldwide from AIDS/HIV, about
360, 000 of these deaths occurred in the United States.
- In 1984, there are 961 Filipinos infected with this dreadful virus.
- It also noted that 22 percent of the HIV positive were former
OFW.
The Nature of the Virus
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is an RNA retrovirus. It
has dense cylindrical core that encase two molecules of viral
RNA genetic material. A spherical outer envelop surrounds the
core.
- It possesses a special enzyme, called reverse transcriptase, that
is bale to make a DNA copy of the viral RNA. This enable the
virus to reverse the normal flow of generic information and to
incorporate its viral genes into the genetic material of its host.
- The virus may then remain in a latent from for a variable and
often lengthy period of time until it is reactivated. The
mechanisms and triggers of the activation process is important
to the efforts being, made to control HIV infection.
Modes of Transmission
Note: Isolated HIV from a number of body fluids, including
blood, semen, saliva, tears, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, breast milk,
and cervical and vaginal secretions.
Sexual intercourse, whether vaginal or anal, with an
infected individual.
- homosexual or heterosexual transmission
Exposure to infected blood or blood products.
- blood transfusions
Infected mother to her child before or during birth.
- during childbirth or through breast feeding, although some
uninfected children born to HIV-infected mothers have an incidence of
heart problems 12 times that of children in the general population.
FACT or MYTH
Is the HIV can transmit through the air?
Is the HIV can transmit through casual contact?
Is the HIV can transmit through kissing?
Is the HIV can transmit though insect bite?

Signs and Symptoms of AIDS
 Fever  Severe skin infection
 Rashes  Cough for more than a
 Meningitis month
 Pneumonia  Tuberculosis
 Weight loss  Tumours in the immune
 Anemia
system (lymphomas)
 Diarrhea
 Variety of neurologic
 Anorexia
disorders (dementia
 Ulcers
complex)
 Enlarged lymph nodes
Prevention and Control of AIDS
 Educating the public.
 Heterosexual person must avoid living a promiscuous life.
 Women found to be infected with the virus should refrain from
sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy.
 Screening blood donors and mandatory testing of donated blood
in blood banks, hospitals, and medical clinics.
 Avoid sharing of needles and syringes.
 Using condoms correctly and consistently during sexual
intercourse.
 Avoid sexual contact with persons known or suspected to have
AIDS.
 Have a regular medical check-up.
Safety Measures against HIV
Advantages of being tested:
The infected individual can receive early treatment and
may live longer.
He/she can develop a good emotional support system in
the early stages of the disease.
He/she can inform his/her sex partner about his/her
infection.
He/she abstain from sexual intercourse with his/her
partner, or they can use protection.
He/she can avoid sharing items that come in contact with
blood such as razors, tweezers, needles, and syringes.
Safety Measures against HIV
Psychological and socio-logical disadvantages:
A person found to be infected with HIV can be very
depressing and distressing.
The cultural and religious attitudes towards illness and death
on the infected person.
The feeling of uncertainty, fear, grief, depression, denial and
anxiety will certainly affect his adjustment to his environment.
The feeling and fear of being discrimination against and being
ostracized by the people around him.
The family will likely suffer from the consequence of the HIV.
Socio-cultural Factors Associated with
the Spread of the Virus
 The presence of the thriving commercial sex industries.
 The frequent visit of a big number of foreigners as tourist in our
country who might potential carriers of the disease.
 The growing promiscuity of some Filipino males and widespread
experimental sexual escapades of young adults.
 Widespread poverty, migration and social interest for a better
life.
 The inadequacy of public information campaign about the virus.
 The seemingly declining set of moral value and the cherished
tradition about chastity in the Filipino family.
 The lack of political will on the part of the government to control
and eradicate commercial sex industries in the country.
Treatment
 Effective drug treatment (it provides clinical benefit and
prolonged survival for individuals).
 Medical supervisions and required therapies.
 Gene therapy – an alteration of genes on the infected
person to help prevent the virus from spreading
uninfected cells, but still NOT available worldwide.
Types:
1. nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
2. non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
3. protease inhibitors
Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)
- This refers to the infection through transmission with a
person who is infected with the disease through intimate
contact with another person.
- The most common type includes syphillis, gonorrhea,
trichmomas, genital warts, genital herpes,
lymphogranuloma venereum, grauloma inguinale,
condyloma acuminatum, and hepatitis B.
- Some symptoms of STD are: abnormal excretion during
urination discharge, pain on abdominal/groin area, pain
during sex, genital rashes or sore. However, there were
difference in the symptoms among male and female.

cherish…for better and for worst…till death
do us part
Battered Women
- A battered woman is a person who suffers not only physical
or verbal pain inflicted on her by her partner but also deep
psychological and emotional effect of the abuse.
- In the Philippines, married women between the age of 17-24,
17.3% are battered while 48% belong to the 25-35 age group
suffer emotional and physical violence.
- Although there were a signs of progress and equal rights
advocacy, “the women have remained basically inferior and
subordinate to men”.
- According to Women Crises Centre (WCC), predominant
Christian religious beliefs have helped maintain a sexiest attitude
towards women that keep them passive and submissive to men.
Forms of Battering
Physical
-It consists of a single, manual act or a series of different act, or a
combination of assault with the use of weapons. Specific methods
include slapping, kicking even if she was pregnant, strangling and
shoving her on the floor, banging her he head against the wall,
throwing hard objects, pouring boiling water, poking the eyes, burning
with cigarette, hitting with a gun, and forcibly injecting a drugs.

to perform an unacceptable sex act, forcing her to watch
pornographic materials video shows, catching him performing sex
with another woman in their own house and forcing her and his
mistress to live and sleep with him together.
Economic
- It includes denial or withdrawal of financial support or
prohibiting her handling money, husband’s total control over
conjugal financial resources, even controlling the woman’s earning
and using the household money for gambling, drinking or drugs.
Why Women Stay in Abusive
Relationship?
 Dependency on financial support and emotional bonds
including the sake of their children.
 The abused fall in love with the soft side of the abuser,
 The abused person still believed that the behaviour will
change eventually.
 Fear and to avoid social stigma of being separated.
Note: Read the poem “I Got Flowers Today” by Paulette Kelly and reflect
on it. :-)
A Potential Women Beater
 He hurts you on purpose.
 He has a scary temper.
 He puts you down.
 He cuts off from your friends.
 He swings back and forth form sweet to mean, then back.
 He blames you for his anger.
 He panics at the idea of breaking up.
 He encourages you not to enjoy life.
 He checks upon you.
 He calls you names.
Unemployment and Underemployment
- Unemployment is the condition where one who is able and
willing to work dies not have a job, while, underemployment
was characterized by workers whose educational
qualifications, training, experience and skills do not match the
nature of the job they do.
- The unemployment condition in the Philippines has increased
an alarming rate; and afflicts the lives of many people.
- Since, unemployment is an important part of our life in order
to survive, to be unemployed is to be out of the cultural and
social mainstream.
- Unemployment and underemployment in the country main
result to the sacrifice of the Filipino to work outside the
country.
Types of Unemployment
Frictional Unemployment
-The members of the labour force search for jobs that best suit their skills and
preferences.
Structural Unemployment
-This is the results from shifts in the pattern of demands for goods and services or
changes in technology, that preferably requires a hiring of workers who fits for the
position.
Cyclical Unemployment
-This type of unemployment results form the recession and economic fails in the
country.
Technological Unemployment
-It is cause by the advancement of science and technology and eventually some
member of the labour force who didn’t possess the skills will lose their job.
Seasonal Unemployment
- It results from the reduction in demands for labour either by climatic or seasonal
change.
