In your own point of view, among the aforementioned disciplines, which of those three is the most complex? 2. Can you already define each discipline appropriately? 3. How about providing examples in each discipline?  LIGHTS CAMERA ACTION! Mechanics: 1.The class will be divided into four groups. 2. Each group will provide a concept or sample situation incorporating their learnings of the different disciplines (sociology, anthropology, and political science) by performing a five- minute role play.  LIGHTS CAMERA ACTION! 3. After the role-play, each group will provide their own reflection on how important these disciplines are to tackle in this generation. 4. In giving the reflection, each group will choose their group representative who will share the insights. 5. It doesn’t mean that the group representative will be the one to share the reflection he will only be the one to give a reflection. All members should contribute and participate. LIGHTS CAMERA ACTION!
