    Study Notes

    Lesson 2: Local Networks in the 21st Century

    • Local networks encompass relationships and interactions within communities, ranging from families to neighborhoods, local associations, and the barangay (local government unit).
    • A network is made up of interacting groups of people. These layers start from the household, to village (barangay), to national and global communities. The space can also include the virtual world.
    • Local networks involve close, intimate, or committed relationships between people linked by factors such as romantic interests, family ties, shared interests, and professions.
    • Cooperation, equality, and understanding are crucial for a stable dyadic (two-person) relationship like marriage—especially if one partner fails in their responsibilities, the relationship could fall apart.
    • A dyadic relationship can also be considered the smallest unit of a society—sometimes a nuclear family (parents and children) or an extended family (family members and relatives).
    • Membership in a family can come from consanguinity (blood relations) or affinity (marriage).
    • A barangay is the smallest administrative unit in the Philippines. It's comprised of households and neighborhoods, and functions as a community building block beyond the family.
    • Relationships in local networks tend to be closer and tighter compared to more distanced ones.
    • People in a local network often share common experiences, concerns, and issues.
    • Individuals in local networks may have overlapping social roles that fulfill personal and collective goals.
    • Families are an important source of participation and support.
    • Community members participate collectively in the development of alternatives and solutions, using existing knowledge.

    Features of Local Networks

    • Relationships are closer and tighter
    • People are more familiar with each other
    • People share common experiences, issues, and concerns

    The Local Networks and Individuals

    • Individuals in local networks have various, overlapping social roles to meet personal and societal goals.
    • Families are good sources of participation and support
    • Community members are involved in developing alternatives and solutions, based on what they already know and have.

    Enrichment Activity

    • Identify people in your network at different levels.

    Getting Support from one's Community

    • Obtaining support from a community requires planning, mobilizing connections, and utilizing resources.
    • Planning should be strategic and not haphazard.
    • Some situations, like emergencies, don't allow ample time for planning and may require immediate decision-making.

    Considerations in Making Decisions

    • A crucial consideration when making any decision is its repercussions on personal well-being and relationships with others.
    • There are two systems for making decisions: strategic analysis and intuitive thinking.

    Strategic Analysis/ Analytical Thinking

    • This involves a system or method that requires deliberate, abstract, and effortful thinking to break down complex problems into parts.
    • These methods use scientific research frameworks and models to solve problems
    • Managers of large companies often use strategic analysis when making impactful decisions about changes in plans, goals, projects, etc.

    Analytical Thinking / Strategic Thinking

    • Analytical thinking involves evaluating necessary data to form strategies.
    • It involves describing organizational internal and external environments and identifying relevant analytical tools (ex. SWOT analysis)
    • This process involves recognizing Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT analysis) from within and outside the organization.
    • This form of thinking recognizes External factors (e.g., government, war, public opinion, competition, or consumers) and Internal factors (e.g., mission statement, vision, organizational culture, leadership style, and kinds of employees).

    The Most Common Strategic Analysis Model for Decision-Making

    • The most common model for decision-making through strategic analysis consists of 5 steps:
        1. Identify the problem
        1. Analyze the problem
        1. Generate a solution
        1. Implement the solution
        1. Reflect on the outcomes (evaluate)

    Five-Step Method of Decision-Making

    • 1. Identify: Defining the problem and related factors.
    • 2. Analyze: Examining the variables that affect the situation's outcome.
    • 3. Generate: Setting practical, reasonable, and innovative strategies.
    • 4. Implement: Executing the decided plan.
    • 5. Assess and Reflect: Evaluating the outcome and drawing lessons for future decisions.

    SWOT Analysis

    • Strengths: Unique, competitive, and positive qualities of an organization.
    • Weaknesses: Areas that require improvement.
    • Opportunities: External factors that support and improve operations.
    • Threats: External factors that impede operations.

    Intuitive Thinking

    • Defined as the ability to understand something instinctively without conscious reasoning. Sometimes called "gut feeling" or "sixth sense."
    • Intuitive thinking helps understand reality through perception and intuition. It doesn't rely on logic or analysis; instead, it leverages experiences.
    • Intuitive approaches to thinking are often personal and customized.
    • Involves reliance on experiences; it is frequently quick and ready insight. Sometimes referred to as gut feeling, sixth sense, inner sense, instinct, inner voice, or spiritual guide.
