Social analysis

What theory or concept in Social Science do you think is useful in analyzing Philippine social realities?

- "Structuralism. It allows us to understand social dynamics by looking at the underlying patterns in terms of social facts and social status that prevail in the society." - Ms Mahusay, DS freshie

- "Karl Marx's dialectical materialism and his anaysis of capitalist development" - Ms Nuestro, DS freshie

- "Theory of Marxism because the conflict between social classes is very evident in the Philippine society" - Ms Banga, DS freshie

-  "The ideas that capitalists tend to focus on productivity and profit generation thereby bringing about alienation among their workers (theory of alienation)  and that existing social structures can shape agency and the other way around (structuration theory). - Ms Caballero, DS freshie

- "Agents of socialization. Agents of socialization such as family, church, media, and government have profound influence in shaping individual character and, by extension, they can also determine the development or underdevelopment of the country." - Mr Bruel, DS freshie

REMINDERS - updated

Kindly double check if you have already completed the required units in the course for the previous semesters.  Act promptly on your subjects with 4.0, 5.0, INC or DRP marks.  Validate also if you have complied with the healthy mix policy regarding GEs (i.e. taking into account that you may enroll either in History 2 or History 3 but not both, and that Hum 1, Speech 11, Humanidades 1, Hum Stud 20 and Hum Stud 25 are considered equivalent subjects). Under the healthy mix policy, you should combine Math and NatSci/STS subjects, and Humanities and Communication subjects for MST and AH clusters, respectively.  Ensure that you have enrolled all the remaining subjects in the DS curriculum for this upcoming semester.  Apply also for TCG for further validation.  Take advantage of self-advising, peer advising and faculty advising to avoid unnecessary graduation-related worries. And lastly, clarify the grade entries in your SAIS account if there are discrepancies. #nasahuliangpagsisisi
