Study Notes
Day 1: Contemporary Challenges and Responses
- The unit focuses on understanding culture, society, and politics with a focus on contemporary challenges.
- Learning targets include identifying new challenges, describing adaptation to challenges in physical, social, and cultural environments, responding with courage and resilience to societal challenges, and building positive relationships.
- Tuvalu is presented as the "First Digital Nation" suggesting adaptation to contemporary challenges.
- Climate change/global warming is a unit stimulus.
The Concept of Global Warming and Climate Change
- Global warming is the significant increase in Earth's surface temperature.
- Climate change is the increase in global temperature and the resulting effects on Earth, including changing sea levels and frequent storms.
- Global warming is a symptom of climate change.
Causes of Global Warming and Climate Change
- Greenhouse gases trap sunlight to keep Earth warm ("greenhouse effect").
- Human activities have drastically increased greenhouse gas concentrations.
- Increased greenhouse gases trap more heat.
- Activities increasing greenhouse gases include: burning of fossil fuels, use of fertilizer, and decomposition of wastes in landfills.
Implications of Global Warming and Climate Change
- PAGASA (Philippines Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) identified five key impacted sectors: water resources, forestry, agriculture, coastal resources, and health.
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
- Mitigation aims to address the causes of global warming and climate change, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Adaptation refers to adjusting to the immediate and long-term effects of climate change.
Doomsday Clock
- A symbolic clock that shows how close humanity is to a global catastrophe.
- The clock's time to midnight indicates the degree of threat (closer to midnight, higher threat).
Day 2: Global Warming and Climate Change
- This day's learning continues the discussion from Day 1 regarding global warming and climate change.
- A notable question addressed is the difference between global warming and climate change.
Activity
- Learners are tasked with examining and describing the relationship between various images and global warming and climate change.
Climate Change Adaptation
- The assignment involves research on local, regional, or global news pertaining to climate change, and presenting it with a summary, effects on society, and potential solutions.
Day 3-4: Transnational Migration and Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)
- The focus shifts to transnational migration and Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).
The Concept of Transnational Migration
- The process of how immigrants maintain social links between their home countries and countries of settlement.
Factors Contributing to Transnational Migration
- The reasons people migrate, including employment opportunities & safety.
The Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)
- A term referring to Filipinos who work abroad.
Four Waves of Migration (History of OFWs)
- Historical periods of migrations of Filipinos due to economic and social circumstances.
- Spanish Colonial Period
- American Colonial Period
- Migration to Asian countries
- Marcos Regime.
Issues and Concerns of Transnational Migration
- Concerns of OFWs include double identity, cases of abuse, brain drain, and instability of the economy.
Solutions and Responses
- Ways to help support OFWs include strengthening ties with international organizations, focusing on economic improvement in the Philippines, and addressing issues concerning the workers.
OFW Stories
- Research and presentation of experiences of OFWs.
- Includes specific questions to answer regarding the topic.
Activity (related to transnational migration)
- Activity involving developing a Venn Diagram to display similarities and differences between Filipino living in the Philippines and living abroad.
- Includes recommendation of ways to address challenges encountered.
