Study Notes

Understanding Culture, Society and Politics (UCSP)

  • UCSP is a subject that focuses on the intricacies of culture, society, and politics.
  • It examines the interplay of these three facets within a country's context.

State and Non-State Institutions

  • The objective of this segment is to define state institutions and non-state institutions and their functions.

  • A critical aspect is understanding their roles within the context of personal development and societal growth.

  • Key state institutions include the Office of the President, Office of the Vice-President, Congress of the Philippines (Senate and House of Representatives), and the Supreme Court of the Philippines.

  • Other agencies under the President: Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), National Statistics Office/Philippine Statistics Office (NSO/PSA), Tariff Commission, National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA), National Security Council (NSC), Office of the Press Secretary (OPS), Philippine News Agency (PNA), and Philippine Anti-Graft Commission.

  • Constitutional Commissions such as the CHR, COA, COMELEC, and CSC are also part of the state institutions.

  • State institutions also encompass Local Government Units and Government Owned or Controlled Corporations (e.g., GSIS, PAG-IBIG, NFA, PHIC, SSS).

  • Non-State institutions include diverse entities: Banks, Corporations, Trade Unions, Cooperatives, Development Agencies, Civil Organizations, and Transnational Advocacy Groups.

Characteristics of an Institution

  • Institutions are clusters of social customs with a notable degree of permanence. Key characteristics include: well-defined objectives; significant resistance to changes due to established beliefs, and the transmission of social heritage.

  • Institutions keep societies ordered and implement assigned tasks.

  • Institutions are a group of people and/or organizations that participate in international affairs unrelated to a specific state.

Types of Institutions

  • Banks: Licensed financial institutions to provide different types of financial services.
  • Corporations: Entities owned by people with a separate legal identity, issuing stocks for ownership and bonds for investment.
  • Trade Unions: Workers' or employee organizations safeguarding their interests in the workplace and society.
  • Cooperatives: Groups of people with shared interests working together to equally provide easy, safe, affordable access to commodities, loans, and services.
  • Development Agencies: Promoters of progress through engaging in project development, policy-making, and dialogue.
  • Civil Organizations: Groups advocating conditions for marginalized populations in society, using mass media for critical issue raising and disseminating relevant facts to the government.
  • Transnational Advocacy Groups: Organizations that call on the government to act on inadequately addressed matters, promoting and championing development and societal progress on an international scale (interconnectedness).

Examples of Institutions (images)

  • Several logos represent various state and non-state institutions.

Activities and Evaluation

  • Students will describe logos of state and non-state organizations, and write their ideas about education.
  • There is an evaluation to identify acronyms of institutions, and assess their understanding.
