This document provides an overview of several social science disciplines, including linguistics, political science, psychology, and sociology. It discusses the key branches and concepts within each discipline. For linguistics, it describes the main branches of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. It also provides examples to illustrate concepts within these branches. The document similarly outlines the focuses and examples for political science, psychology, and sociology. It notes influential early thinkers in each field like Ferdinand de Saussure for linguistics, John Locke for political science, Wilhelm Wundt for psychology, and Auguste Comte for sociology.
These approaches offer ways of looking at society from different perspectives. Marxism is one theoretical approach that is associated with conflict theory. It asserts that society is divided into classes that are in conflict with each other. Marxism views history as a result of conflicts caused by material needs. It sees society progressing through stages from primitive communism to capitalism and eventually communism, where there are no classes. Key concepts in Marxism include historical materialism, alienation, surplus value, false consciousness, and praxis. Marxism aims to challenge the status quo and encourage social change to abolish social classes.

- Society is divided into two main competing classes: the bourgeoisie (owners of capital) and the proletariat (workers).
- The bourgeoisie exploit the proletariat by appropriating the surplus value generated by workers and paying them only a subsistence wage.
- This unequal class-based system leads to conflict and contradiction that will inevitably cause revolution as workers gain class consciousness.
- The state is seen as a mechanism for one class to oppress other classes. A Marxist would seek to overthrow the capitalist state and replace it with a dictatorship of the proletariat as a transition to full communism.

Social, Political, and Cultural behavior and PhenomenaMiss Chey
Every society has norms that guide appropriate behavior. Culture includes shared beliefs, values, and symbols learned from one generation to the next. It is integrated over time as societies adapt. Culture exists through both material items and abstract concepts like language, values, and beliefs. There are various types of social norms including folkways, mores, taboos, and laws, which differ in how strictly they are enforced. Understanding culture requires recognizing that values differ in each society and should be considered within their own context rather than being judged according to one's own culture.
This document contains a lesson on understanding culture, society, and politics with the following key points:
1. It discusses concepts like culture, society, and politics as conceptual tools to analyze social behavior and interactions. Students are seen as social actors.
2. Factors that account for social differences, cultural variations, and political identities are examined. Examples of phenomena in the Philippines are provided like "istambay" and political dynasties.
3. The role of values and beliefs in motivating behavior is explored. Concepts allow the discovery of new aspects of phenomena to better understand complex social realities.

The document provides an overview of the beginnings of classical geography. It discusses how the Greeks made many advancements in geographical knowledge through observation, measurement, generalization, and philosophy. Some key Greek figures and their contributions are highlighted, including:
- Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth.
- Hipparchus discovered the precession of the equinoxes and made early star catalogs.
- Herodotus divided the world into three continents and described existing tribes.
- Plato and Pythagoras developed early concepts of the solar system and spherical Earth through mathematical and philosophical means.
The document provides an overview of the emergence of social science disciplines. It begins by listing key social science fields such as economics, anthropology, history, political science, geography, linguistics and sociology. It then presents a pre-test with multiple choice questions that assess understanding of the historical foundations of these disciplines. The answers identify disciplines such as anthropology as the study of human life and culture, geography as the study of physical features and human activity on earth, economics as initially the study of household resource allocation, history as the study of past events, and linguistics as the study of language. The document concludes by defining social science as a branch of science dealing with human behavior and its social and cultural aspects.
This document provides an overview of the key areas within the field of geography. It discusses the main branches of geography, including physical geography, human geography, geographic techniques, and regional geography. Physical geography involves the study of the natural environment and processes, while human geography examines human-environment interactions and patterns of culture and society. Geographic techniques include cartography and methods of spatial analysis. Regional geography entails the study of specific places and regions.
This document provides an overview of history as a discipline, including definitions of key terms like historiography and primary and secondary sources. It discusses the incompleteness of historical records and the role of historians in critically examining sources. Key challenges for historians in reconstructing the past are outlined. Ancient historiographies from China, Greece, Rome, and Islam are summarized. Qualities of objective historians and examples of famous early historians from Herodotus to Al-Tabari are provided. The emergence of historical associations and the role of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines in historical preservation are described.
This document provides an introduction to global history. It discusses primary and secondary sources that historians use to understand the past. It also outlines different social scientists like economists, geographers, archaeologists, and anthropologists and how they study and interpret history. The document defines different types of maps, what culture is, and the differences between cultural isolation and cultural diffusion. A major turning point in history discussed is the Neolithic Revolution and domestication of plants and animals, which led to permanent settlements and early civilizations along river valleys like Mesopotamia, Indus Valley, Yellow River Valley, and Nile River Valley.
This document provides an overview of the field of anthropology. It discusses the history and evolution of anthropology from its roots in ancient Greek writings to its establishment as a formal academic discipline in the 20th century. The document also outlines several key fields within anthropology, including cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, archaeology, and biological anthropology. Each field takes a different approach to understanding human cultures, behaviors, and histories.
This document provides an overview of big history and discusses primary and secondary sources used by social scientists to study history. It begins by explaining how old the Earth is (13.7 billion years old) compared to human civilization (only existing for about 200,000 years). It then defines primary sources as original records created by those involved or witnessing an event, and secondary sources as information created after the fact, such as textbooks. Examples of primary sources include diaries, photographs, artifacts, and oral histories. Secondary sources are analyses created later, like biographies, histories, or charts. Social scientists like anthropologists, geographers, economists, and archaeologists use both primary and secondary sources to study different aspects of past societies.
This document discusses the historiography of world history as an academic field. It outlines how world history has evolved from earlier universal histories that focused on civilizations and the rise and fall of empires. More recent approaches examine themes of connections, interactions and relations across different places. The document also discusses new methodologies in world history, such as environmental history, transnational history, and big history. It emphasizes teaching world history through essential questions and themes that are globally significant, such as race, revolution, imperialism and decolonization.
Geography is the study of the Earth and its inhabitants. It has two main branches: physical geography, which studies the natural environment including landforms, climate, oceans, and resources; and human geography, which examines how humans impact and interact with the environment through population distribution, land use, and cultural practices. Geography draws from both natural sciences when studying the physical world, and social sciences when investigating human activities and settlements. It is a broad field that relates to many other areas of knowledge.
Voltaire in the 18th century attempted to revolutionize the study of world history by eliminating the theological framework and emphasizing economics, culture and political history. Other historians such as Vico, Ferguson, and Marx also contributed new perspectives to the study of world history. Contemporary historians have access to new technologies and information which continues to change how past civilizations are studied on a global scale.
Anthropology emerged in Europe during the Era of Imperialism. Key figures in the early development of anthropology include Charles Darwin, who proposed the theory of evolution; Edward Tylor, who argued that all societies progressed through the same stages of cultural evolution; and Franz Boas, who rejected the idea that genetic differences explained cultural variation. Henry Otley Beyer is considered the Father of Philippine Anthropology and introduced the Migration Theory.
1) History is the study of past events through sources like written documents, artifacts, and eyewitness accounts. It helps explain how societies developed over time in response to challenges.
2) Key theories that seek to explain historical events include the challenge-response theory of civilizations rising and falling based on how they address issues, and the materialistic concept that economic factors largely determine a society's development.
3) Sources used by historians include primary sources like documents and artifacts from a time period, as well as secondary sources that analyze primary sources. Archaeology also provides material evidence to reconstruct past cultures.
Early civilizations first appeared in locations favorable for agriculture along major rivers like the Nile, Tigris-Euphrates, Indus, and Yellow. Governments and states emerged as rulers consolidated power over larger populations using writing, religion, and control of resources. Writing allowed laws and records to be codified, spreading shared cultural practices. Major early civilizations discussed include Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Maya, Indus Valley, China, Persia, Greece, and Rome, each making significant cultural and technological contributions to modern society. A state is defined as a community exercising power over a territory with key elements including people, land, government, and sovereignty.
Galaty & Watkinson (eds.) - Archaeology Under Dictatorship [ocr] [2004].pdffrank0071
This chapter introduces the concept of archaeology under dictatorship and its relationship to political ideology. Dictators often seek to wield archaeology as a political tool to legitimize new state ideologies. Three key points are made:
1) Archaeologists generally recognize the profound effect that political ideologies have on understanding the past, and vice versa.
2) The relationship between politics and archaeology is more intense under totalitarian dictatorships, when dictators aim to create and support new state ideologies.
3) Dictators have long realized the ideological importance of the past and have sought to manipulate the material record and archaeological concepts to serve their political goals. Examples of archaeology under Hitler in Germany and Stalin in the Soviet Union
This document discusses the definition and nature of history as an academic discipline. It covers key topics such as the types of sources used in historical research, including primary and secondary sources. Primary sources are original materials like documents, artifacts, and eyewitness accounts created during the time period being studied. Secondary sources are produced later by authors who have analyzed and interpreted primary sources. The document also examines different approaches to studying history, like positivism which relies on empirical evidence, and post-colonialism which critiques colonial influences on histories of formerly colonized nations.
Here are 3 self assessment questions on the document:
1. What is the modern concept of history?
- The modern concept of history has gone beyond a traditional leisure pursuit and become a useful part of education. It has expanded vertically and horizontally, become more scientific and comprehensive, and broad-based and attractive.
2. Is history a science or an art?
- History has aspects of both a science and an art. It pursues techniques to establish and interpret facts like a science, but the historian narrates from a point of view and reconstruction is subjective like an art. It is considered a social science.
3. Briefly write the scope of history
- The scope of history is vast, depicting man's achievements

The document discusses two examples of contentious politics - the 18th century movement to abolish slavery in Britain and the 2014 protests in Ukraine that led to the ousting of President Yanukovych and Russian annexation of Crimea. It defines contentious politics as involving collective action where claims are made that affect governmental interests, and notes both examples involved groups making claims through public performances and collective action to advance their political goals.
The document discusses the rise of personalized politics, where individuals participate in collective action through their personal social networks and stories rather than through traditional groups. It outlines some key aspects of personalized politics, including inclusive frames that lower barriers to participation, the use of social networks to share personal concerns, and defining politics through personal lifestyle values. The document also contrasts the styles of personalized politics on the left and right, noting that the right emphasizes individual freedom and emotional reactions to perceived threats to freedom.
A time to build, a time to tear down religionMaryjoydailo
1) The document discusses how religion shapes and is shaped by society in the Philippines. It explores how Catholic imagery and practices have roots in pre-colonial traditions and indicate social hierarchies.
2) It argues that religious categories used to describe groups like Muslims in Mindanao blur ethnic and social realities and hinder government efforts. Religions take different forms depending on historical and social contexts in pluralistic societies.
3) The document examines the Church's capacity to transform society given political events and the fact that many Catholics do not follow Church leadership and millions live in poverty, revealing the Church's need to better address social concerns and articulate constructive reforms.
This document summarizes the concept of folk Catholicism in the Philippines. It describes how for most rural and poor Filipinos, the Catholic Church is experienced locally through their simbahan (church) and interactions with one or two priests, rather than through an understanding of the full Church hierarchy. It discusses how official Catholic doctrine and rituals have blended with pre-existing Malay cultural influences and additions from Spanish colonizers to form a unique folk Catholicism. This folk Catholicism reinforces community solidarity, family values, and social cohesion in Philippine society.
The document discusses how McDonaldization has led to the pursuit of efficiency in many aspects of modern society. It provides examples of how fast food restaurants, higher education, home cooking, shopping, entertainment, and travel have all strived for maximum efficiency. This often results in the dehumanization of both customers and employees as tasks become simplified and standardized.
Understanding the concepts of culture, society and politicsMaryjoydailo
This document discusses key concepts in anthropology and sociology, including culture, society, and politics. It defines culture as learned, symbolic, integrated, shared, and all-encompassing. Sociologists use three theoretical approaches to study society: structural-functionalism, which views society as a system that promotes stability; social-conflict theory, which focuses on inequality and change; and symbolic interactionism, which sees society as produced through everyday interactions. The document also discusses ethnocentrism, viewing one's own culture as superior, and cultural relativism, understanding cultures in their own contexts.
The document discusses how poverty serves positive functions for various groups in society, even though poverty is widely maligned. It argues that poverty allows certain economic activities and jobs to exist by providing a low-wage labor pool. It also claims that poverty creates jobs for occupations that help or police the poor. Additionally, it suggests poverty serves social functions like allowing the non-poor to compare their status and participate vicariously in uninhibited behaviors attributed to the poor. The document outlines eleven specific economic, social, and political functions that poverty provides for different interest groups according to the author.
This document summarizes Garrett Hardin's article "The Tragedy of the Commons". It discusses how population growth poses a problem that has no technical solution. As populations increase, the per capita share of resources for each person decreases in a finite world. While maximizing population and maximizing well-being cannot both be achieved. There is an optimal population size that is lower than the maximum size, though defining it is difficult. Unless we address population growth explicitly rather than relying on invisible hand theories, the overuse of shared resources will continue to degrade living standards.
The social production of indifference exploring the symbolicMaryjoydailo
This document provides an overview and introduction to the book "The Social Production of Indifference: Exploring the Symbolic Roots of Western Democracy" by Michael Herzfeld. It discusses how democratic societies can seem indifferent to individuals and groups, and how bureaucracy can repress individuals while also claiming democratic ideals. The document introduces how the book will use an anthropological approach to examine how national identity and bureaucracy interact, and how people use conventional stories of bureaucratic unfairness to explain their experiences and maintain social relations.
The minoritization of the indigenous communities Maryjoydailo
The document summarizes the history and current situation of indigenous communities in the Philippines, particularly those in Mindanao and Sulu. It describes how these communities have transitioned from being self-governing to becoming impoverished minorities due to colonialism and loss of land. It provides historical context on how Islam spread to the regions of Mindanao and Sulu through trade, and led to the establishment of sultanates that had more advanced social development compared to other indigenous groups. It also outlines the various ethnolinguistic groups that make up the indigenous communities and how population pressures have displaced many from their traditional lands and threatened their cultures and livelihoods.
The case of filipina domestic helpers in singapore and hong kongMaryjoydailo
This document summarizes a paper about the culture shock experienced by Filipina domestic workers in Singapore and Hong Kong. It discusses how cultural differences between the Philippines and these countries, especially in areas like language, food, social norms, and family dynamics, often lead to anxiety, discomfort, and even mental health issues for Filipina domestic workers as they struggle to adapt to their new environments. While economic factors drive many to seek work abroad, the document suggests a major challenge is learning to cope with the problems of a unfamiliar cultural setting.
State and society in the process of democratizationMaryjoydailo
This document discusses the relationship between states and societies in newly democratizing countries. It makes three key points:
1) In many developing countries in the 1980s, authoritarian regimes broke down and democratic rule resurged, accompanied by a resurgence of civil society groups. These state and society actors have since developed new, creative ways of interacting on policy issues.
2) Examples show societal organizations now participate in various stages of policymaking, especially at local levels of government where they help implement projects. However, inequality remains in national policy decision-making.
3) The Philippine cases studied highlight that new modes of state-society relations are possible even at national levels, through alternative policymaking aren
Education serves important sociological functions from different theoretical perspectives. Functionalism views education as serving functions like socialization, social integration, and cultural innovation. Conflict theory sees problems in how education promotes social inequality through tracking and standardized testing that reinforce social class and racial disparities. Symbolic interactionism focuses on how social interactions in school settings shape outcomes like gender roles and teachers' expectations of students' abilities.
Social, cultural, and political changeMaryjoydailo
Social change is the transformation of culture and social institutions over time. It happens constantly and can be both intentional and unplanned. Social change is caused by factors like culture, conflict, ideas, and demographic shifts. Modernity refers to social patterns resulting from industrialization like increasing division of labor. Theories of modernization differ, with Marx seeing it as the triumph of capitalism and Weber focusing on rationalization and bureaucracy. New challenges to social change include issues like climate change, migration, and responding through citizenship, media, and social movements.
This document discusses social movements through examining episodes of contention in Poland in 1956 and 1980. It finds that while contention was widespread in 1956, it failed to create a sustained social movement due to a lack of "social movement bases." In 1980, the Solidarity movement succeeded due to the dense network of oppositional groups that had developed since 1956, providing a foundation of organizations, networks, and traditions to sustain the movement's campaign. The key distinction made is between social movement bases, which provide enduring support, and social movement campaigns, which are public challenges to power-holders that can succeed or fail depending on available bases.
This document discusses social stratification and inequality. It defines social stratification as a system that ranks people based on power, wealth and prestige. There are two main types of stratification systems - closed systems like caste systems that allow little mobility, and open class systems that permit more mobility. Theories on stratification include functionalist, social conflict, and symbolic interactionist perspectives. Gender, ethnicity and other factors also influence social ranking. Inequality is reproduced through mechanisms like cultural and social capital that advantage some groups over others. Stratification occurs globally with some nations being much wealthier than others.
Reciprocity in the lowland philippinesMaryjoydailo
This document discusses the concept of reciprocity in the lowland Philippines. It identifies three types of reciprocity: contractual, quasi-contractual, and utang na loob (debt of gratitude) reciprocity. Contractual reciprocity involves explicit agreements between parties, while quasi-contractual reciprocity relies on implicit cultural understandings. Utang na loob reciprocity generates a sense of obligation between unequal groups and requires repayment with interest. Reciprocity is an important social principle in the Philippines that influences behavior through concepts like hiya (shame) and utang na loob.
Mills argues that to understand society, one needs a "sociological imagination" that allows them to see how individual experiences are shaped by broader social and historical forces. He distinguishes between "personal troubles" which are private issues affecting individuals, and "public issues" which transcend individuals and have to do with problems in social structures and institutions. Personal troubles can only be addressed within an individual's immediate context, while public issues require examining how social groups and historical periods influence many individuals. Having a sociological imagination means being able to connect private troubles to their public and structural context.
Society is composed of various social groups that people identify with and interact within. There are two main types of social groups - primary groups which are small and based on close personal relationships, and secondary groups which are larger and more impersonal, focused on goals and activities. Over time a group can transform from one type to another. Reference groups and in-groups/out-groups also influence people's evaluations and identities. Larger groups require more formal rules as personal bonds are less possible. Networks connect people through occasional contact without a strong sense of group identity. Important social institutions like family, religion, and civil society structure society through established norms and traditions.
On politics politics you and democracyMaryjoydailo
1) The document discusses different perspectives on what constitutes "politics" and political phenomena. Some define politics broadly as anything involving power, collective activity, or that affects people's lives, while others define it more narrowly as activities of the state or decision-making processes.
2) Everyday activities like births, marriages, education, taxes, and garbage collection involve politics through related laws and regulations, though they may not seem overtly political.
3) There is no single definition of politics; perspectives range from very inclusive to more exclusive views that define politics as activities within modern nation-states or things like elections, protests, and policy decisions. Determining what is political and non-political involves gradients of inclus
