Let Us Enhance
I, Lance Francis R. Geolina, a citizen of barangay Buhangin, Davao City, pledge solemnly
to promote equality in our area by building a better society that is free from discrimination and
its effect on inequalities. Sadly, discrimination does not only take place “out there”. It also
exists within our own family, place or community and is reflected in the make-up both leaders
and citizens. So, as a citizen, I will spearhead to take a pause from our normal activities to
acknowledge that our nation suffers from deep-seated hatred and a system of injustice that
should not be ignored. I pledged in letting everyone know to listen, to learn, and to leverage
the means within our community to do more to affect positive change. Because if not, failing
to reflect the communities we belong means we will miss out on talent and won't achieve our
full potential. Fatally – it will result in perpetuating the very inequalities we seek to solve. That
is why we should move as one beyond rhetoric and take concrete actions at the community
that will advance in measurable ways our vision for a more peaceful, just world.

Let Us Reflect:
1. By doing various activities on the concepts, characteristics, and forms of stratification
system, now I understand that the world has settled a standard and categories of each levels in
our society. Some of which have pretty and bad advantages and disadvantages for humanity.
2. Doing various activities on the concepts, characteristics, and forms of stratification
system is important because it strengthens and enhances our comprehension in this
competency of learning about the main strands of social stratification.
 3. Through various activities, my social background as a youth influences my life
opportunities and chances because I have known better about the different types of
stratification and in order to neglect the persistence of those bad injustice judgement, I will
study smarter and harder to create a healthy spot in our society.
