Study Notes
Understanding Culture, Society, and Politics: Starting Points
-
Social Actors vs. Objects: Humans are active agents (subjects) who shape their world, unlike passive objects. Food, fire, history are objects. Humans actively use and change these objects. Examples include humans using fire to cook food or generals, presidents, and ordinary people shaping history.
-
Paulo Freire's Perspective (2005): Freire emphasizes critical understanding and the re-creation of knowledge. Teachers and students are co-creators of knowledge through reflection and action; both are considered subjects in the learning process.
Classifications in Society
-
Gender:
- Social Construct: Gender refers to learned roles, behaviors, and attributes associated with biological sex, differing across cultures. It is learned through the family, education, and religion. Gender includes the composite of attitudes and behaviors associated with masculinity and femininity in a society.
- Historical Example: Women in historical contexts, like the time of Jose Rizal, required official permission to establish schools (in Malolos, Bulacan).
- WHO (2020): Gender encompasses roles, behaviors, activities, attributes, and opportunities considered appropriate for individuals of different sexes in a society. It is differentiated from biological sex.
- Learning Process: Learned and perpetuated mainly through the family, education, and religion.
-
Socio-Economic Class:
- Factors: Determined by income, power, and resource access.
- Philippine Example: The Philippine government categorizes families into income brackets for statistics (poor, low, middle, upper middle, upper, rich). Also, sociologists consider power and resource access to define classes. Philippine classifications include richer categories: rich (mayaman), middle class (gitnang uri/katamtaman/sakto lang), and poor (mahirap). Sociologists consider income, education, and occupation to define social class, but also power and access to resources.
-
Exceptionality:
- Categories: Behavioral, communicative (e.g., autism, hearing impairment), intellectual (e.g., giftedness, developmental disability), and physical (e.g., blindness, physical disability) characteristics influence educational needs. Classifications are used to tailor educational responses to individual needs. Identifying exceptionalities helps in understanding and responding to specific needs effectively.
-
Ethnicity and Nationality:
- Ethnicity: Shared racial, cultural, or religious identities. Ethnicity can be linked to race, language, and religion. It's about expressing or constructing shared identities
- Nationality: Affiliation with a specific country or territory. Often correlated with a dominant ethnic group. Nationality is related to the state a person belongs to or shares affiliation with.
