4. 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).
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."

problems in people’s lives by
engaging in counseling through the use of psychological
methods.
School programs and services that address the
students’ leadership skills, self_x0002_awareness,

6. Setting goals is more than deciding what you want to do. It involves figuring out
what you need to do to get where you want to go, and how long it will take you to get
there. The following enumerates the guide question in setting and achieving your
goals:
a. Where do I want to be in the next 3 months, 6 months, 1 year?
By the end of the year, I want to graduate from senior high school. To achieve this, I will
participate in the evening group study. I will seek extra help from the teachers when I need it. I
will improve my basic math and language skills.
b. What must I know to get there?
In order to improve my basic math skills, I must seek the assistance of my peers whoexcel in
Math and my teacher.
7. c. What steps must I take in order to know and be able to do these things?
To improve my basic math skills, I will need a math tutor who can help me
cope with the difficult tasks. To maintain my participation in the evening study
group, I need to be on time and avoid absences.
d. What abilities and experience do I already have that are going to help me take
these steps?
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.
9. Persuasion
In Wikipedia, persuasion or persuasion arts is an umbrella term of influence.
Persuasion can attempt to influence a person’s beliefs, attitudes, intentions,
motivations, or behaviors. Persuasion is an act or process of presenting
arguments to move, motivate, or change your audience. Persuasion is the
process, and motivation is the compelling stimulus that encourages your
audience to change their beliefs or behaviour, to adopt your position, or to
consider your arguments.
As mentioned in the article entitled Psychology of Persuasion and Social
Influence, Perloff defined persuasion as "...a symbolic process in which
communicators try to convince other people to change their attitudes or
behaviors regarding an issue through the transmission of a message in an
atmosphere of free choice."(Cherry, 2020).
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Television, radio, and the internet all help spread persuasive
messages very quickly
a. Big Business:
In addition to the companies that are in business purely for persuasive purposes (such as advertising agencies,
marketing firms, public relations companies) and many other businesses are reliant on persuasion to sell goods and
services.
c. More complex:
b. More common:
Think for a moment about how many advertisements you have encountered on a daily basis. In the article, Filipino spend most
time online, on social media-worldwide report…The Philippines also tops the world in terms of internet usage in front of a desktop
or laptop computer, clocking in at 5 hours and 4 minutes daily, far from the global average of 3 hours and 28 minutes (Gonzales,
2019).
d. More subtle:
Of course, there are plenty of ads that use very obvious persuasive strategies, but many messages are far more subtle.
For example, businesses sometimes carefully craft a very specificimage designed to urge viewers to buy products or
services in order to attain that projected lifestyle.
Consumers are more diverse and have more choices, so marketers have to be savvier when it comes to selecting their
persuasive medium and message.
e. Travels more rapidly:
Television, radio, and the internet all help spread persuasive messages very quickly
14. Arts in the Philippines refer to all the various forms of
the arts that have developed and accumulated in the
Philippine from the beginning of civilization in the country
up to the present era. They reflect the range of artisti
influences on the country's culture, including indigenous
forms of the arts, and how these influences have honed
the country's arts. When the world temporarily stopped
its mobility and implemented restrictions borders by
borders because of Covid-19, activities that catered to a
live audience were compromised. Most affected was the
arts, be it performing or visual. But such a creative field
found ways to show their arts and reach their audience at home.
Museums and galleries began offering virtual and audio tours and opened their
exhibitions via digital meeting rooms. Ballet and theatre companies 24 made available
archival footages of ballet performances,stage plays, musicals, films and concerts; they
also used the digital medium to conduct workshops, seminars and talk shows.
Arts and Entertainment

social sciences:
Paintings that depict the plight of the Filipino
people in the midst of the global pandemic.
Movies, plays and teleseryes that mirror the
social, political and cultural

18. 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.
News and Information
19. 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.
20. 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.
22. Organizing Advocacy and Mobilization
Advocacy works primarily to change the behaviour of
public leaders or decision_x0002_makers. Communication
generally targets individuals and small groups. Social
mobilization aims to secure community-based support.
Below is the best example of advocacy and social
mobilization.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs— community pantries pop up in
places around the metro in response to famine and unemployment amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over the weekend, small food booths with the slogan “Magbigay ayon sa kakayahan, kumuha batay
sa pangangailangan,” (Give what you can, take what you need) appeared in different places around
Luzon. A humble project that started in the street of Maginhawa, Quezon City, the “community
pantry” allows people to donate and get food for free. Community pantry is no longer a strange thing
nowadays. Even in provinces, this advocacy program to alleviate the hunger and needs of the
community has gained popularity.
23. Organizing, advocacy and mobilization as a function of
applied social sciences:
Advocacy groups that seek to inform and educate on public
issues and influence development of policies such as Gabriela
and Amnesty International Philippines.
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.
25. Education
Education is the process of facilitating learning, or
the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, morals,
beliefs, and habits. Education can take place in
formal or informal settings and any experience that
has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels,
or acts may be considered educational.
Education in the new normal
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.
26. 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.
“DepEd recognizes the challenges of the school year ahead, but if we
opted for an academic freeze, we would have lost many months of the
children’s learning,” said Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones
“The opening of the school year has generally been very successful, and
we will continue to face any challenge that lies ahead with great resolve
to continue education in the country.”
27. Education as a function of applied social sciences:
The use of mass media to educate the public about the realities
of life, the problems that the country faces and recent
developments in technology.
The utilization of different communication media channels
(television, radio, new media/social media) as an alternative to
face-to-face learning modality due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
29. Socialization
Socialization is the process through which people are
taught to be proficient members of a society. It describes
the ways that people come to understand societal norms
and expectations, to accept society's beliefs, and to be
aware of societal values.
Socialization in the Philippines starts from Filipino parenting. Family ties are most
centered in the Filipino culture. Filipino parents consider their children as gifts from
God.
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.
30. Socialization during the pandemic is limited by the . As
much as it is an part of one's , we have to take heed the
call of our health. Thus, as people are asked to remain
at home for most of the time, they have also found ways
to their social health such as
(a) building social health by starting with a healthy self;
(b) with your family;
(c) out to keep close;
(d) finding ground in a group;
(e)eworking on your while working out;
(f)keeping your social ; and
(g) honing your communications skills.
31. Socialization as a function of applied social sciences:
Conducting Homeroom Guidance Program to students
to improve their social skills and to instill positive
values.
Teaching the students how to behave in socially
approved manner.
