VARIOUS FUNCTIONS OF APPLIED
LESSON SOCIAL SCIENCES IN THE
PHILIPPINE/ LOCAL SETTING
Hello Senior High students! In this lesson, you will learn to identify situations that would
require or necessitate the performance of the various functions of applied social sciences in
local/Philippine settings.
Before we proceed, can you identify several local social services in your community?
How do these services help improve the lives of the people in your community? How are the
various functions of applied social sciences reflected in the delivery of these services?
Remember your lesson in various functions of applied social sciences? Having learned
about them, this module will include a discussion of various situations that relate to the
functions of applied social sciences.
In order to understand the importance of the applied social sciences, below are its
functions and how it is applied in the Philippine setting.
1. Self-development
In the research paper of Florian Kurtz (2021), the researcher mentioned that,
“Development is always self-development. Nothing could be more absurd than for the
enterprise to assume responsibility for the development of a person. The responsibility rests
with individuals, their abilities, their efforts. Self-development is a glorious quest. It’s the desire
to find your own freedom, to connect with your own sense of worth, and integrity, and
happiness. To enjoy abundance.” (Kurtz, 2021).
1
Self-development can be defined, in general terms, as gaining information needed in a
person's working life, acquiring new information and skills open to the change, learning for the
sake of learning and maintaining all this knowledge, throughout one's life." (www.grin.com).
I will talk to people I know who are in my youth group, ask friends and teachers.
e. What obstacles might be in my way and how can I deal with them?
I find it hard to participate regularly in the evening study group because I take care of
my younger siblings. I could ask my aunt or uncle to look over my younger siblings.
f. What should I do first, second and so on.
2. Persuasion
2
Persuasion as a function of applied social sciences in communication:
Politicians holding political campaigns to convince the public to join their cause and
gain their support.
Employing various marketing strategies to influence the target market to patronize a
product.
What are the Key Elements of the Definition of Persuasion?
1. It involves a deliberate attempt to influence others.
2. People are not coerced; they are instead free to choose through self-persuasion.
3. Persuasive messages are transmitted in a variety of ways, including
verbally and nonverbally via television, radio, internet, or face-to-face communication.
4. Persuasion is symbolic, utilizing words, images, sounds, etc.
According to Perloff, there are five major ways in which modern persuasion differs from
the past.

3. Arts and Entertainment

4. News and Information
News is information about current events. This may be provided through many
different media: word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting, electronic
communication, or through the testimony of observers and witnesses to events. Common
topics for news reports include government, politics, war, education, health, the environment,
economy, business, fashion, and entertainment, as well as athletic events, quirky or unusual
events. Government proclamations, concerning royal ceremonies, laws, taxes, public health,
and criminals, have been dubbed news
since ancient times. Technological and
social developments, often driven by
government communication and
espionage networks, have increased the
speed with which news can spread, as
well as influenced its content. The genre
of news as we know it today is closely
associated with the newspaper.
Nowadays, news and information play
significant role in delivering accurate
reports amidst the pandemic crisis.
News and Information as a function of applied social sciences:
Delivering news accurately and objectively using the foundations in history and political
sciences, e.g. TV Patrol, CNN Philippines.
Delivering information to increase awareness and knowledge and to influence attitude
and behavioral change, e.g. Matanglawin, Ang Pinaka.
5
Organizing and mobilizing people to take action and thus gain active support and
participation of the public such as starting a community pantry or a donation drive.
6. Education
Various industries in the Philippines are already on their slow but steady path to
recovery and that includes the education sector. Despite the compromises and major changes
made in the educational system to navigate through the new normal, the Department of
Education (DepEd) has successfully opened classes for SY 2020-2021.
For the first few weeks of classes, the Department has been focusing on the proper
implementation of the alternative learning delivery
modalities and providing the necessary psychosocial
support for the academic community.
6
7. Socialization
The Philippines, though a developing country, is attuned to using digital technology for
social communication. The social media has revolutionized our interaction with one another.
It has contributed much to the way we conduct and express ourselves.
Situation Functions of
Applied Social
Sciences
1. Our values are influenced not only by our family but by external
factors such as the media, persons in authority, peers, and even
technology.
2. Movies such as Boyette: Not A Girl Yet, Serbis, Memoirs of a
Teenage
Rebel, and Watch List reflect the anthropological and sociological
7
conditions in our society.
9. The 1st Art Festival opened last March 5, 2021 at the Ramon
Magsaysay People’s Park in Romblon, Romblon which featured
Romblomanon artists’ paintings and artworks, free art sessions for
Romblomanon young artists, appreciation of Romblomanon (Ini)
language through poems, stories and songs, and display of artworks
and exhibits.
10. Due to the global pandemic, face-to-face learning was suspended
and children were forced to isolate from their peers. Psychologists say
that isolation from a peer group can have an enormous effect on
children’s development of social competence and social
relationships.
