“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of
the main. This excerpts a prose of John Donne explains that no one is self-
sufficient, that everyone relies on the company and comfort of others to live. With
these individuals tend to create connections, build networks, and form groups with
the people around them.
Social group can be defined as collection of people who regularly interact with one
another based on shared expectations concerning behavior and who share a sense
of common identity.

POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS
Band is usually small, formed by several families living together; oftentimes moving
from one place to the other to search for food. Bands are egalitarian, meaning, all
families are equal. There is no class differentiation based on wealth; however, status
differences based on gender and age is well-defined. There is no formal leadership,
instead, those who possess special skills and knowledge can be raised to become
informal leader.
Tribe is more complex and larger than a band. As the population increases, there is
a shifting from a basic form of livelihood to a multiple way of living. Tribe is organized
through pan tribal associations in the form of councils, tribal leaders, elders, etc.
due to the presence of multiple communities in a tribe. Tribes are commonly headed
by a village headman who perform leadership roles but has limited political power.
Most tribes remain egalitarian.

Education is one of the most affected sector in the heights of CoVid 19 crisis.
The challenge on how to deliver quality education was the focus of every country.
Here is the statement of UNESCO on investing in education and youth amidst the
pandemic.
Education is a key topic affecting young peoples’ lives. Young people have first-hand
experiences of the very education challenges that are being discussed at global meetings and
they would like a say in the decisions that shape their future. Broadening spaces for youth
voices to shape the decisions made about their education is vital.
In the statement, youth identify two key challenges arising from the COVID19 learning crisis:
(i) Exacerbation of inequalities; (ii) Socio-economic fallout.
They have also identified two key opportunities where they would like to work together with
governments and decision-makers on: (i) Redefining the relevance of education; (ii) Investment
in and prioritization of youth.
Together, they call upon governments, donors and decision-makers to:
1. Leave no one behind. Those most vulnerable before COVID-19 are more affected now
than ever.
2. Guarantee adequate financing for education systems, including investment to achieve
connectivity for all, and continuous teacher development.
3. Ensure that every teacher is adequately valued and trained to deliver quality distance
learning and to be proficient in interactive teaching as well as 21st century skills

4.Reset current education systems and make them fit for purpose with a focus on
disseminating 21st century skills and competences
5. Promote free and public education of high quality that is accessible at all levels and end
student debt. Education is a fundamental human right, not a commodity.
6. Narrow the education divide within and between countries and regions through
distributive policies and increasing the weight of education in foreign aid schemes
7. Invest in and prioritize youth and students through representation
o This means bringing young people and students into decision-making
processes and to co-create solutions together for a better future
Invest in and prioritize youth through funding and support
o We recommend that no less than 50% of all the funding to education should
be co-decided with young people and students. We further recommend that
young people working on the ground to achieve quality inclusive education
should be prioritized with at least 25% of the total funding accorded

Education is the social institution that formally socializes members of the society. It
also refers to the process through which skills, knowledge, and values are
transmitted from the teachers to the learners.
Formal education usually takes placed in a classroom setting and provided by
trained teaching and nonteaching staff. It has an approved curriculum, which
includes the course outline, the prescribed number of sessions to finish the lessons,
and authentic assessments and outputs. Nonformal education is an organized
educational activity that takes placed outside a formal set up. It has no age-limit,
even adults can take part in a nonformal education program. One example for this
is the Alternative Learning System (ALS) of the Department of Education.
Special education (SPED) refers to the education of persons who are physically,
mentally, emotionally, socially or culturally different from so-called “normal”
individuals, such that they require modification of school practices to develop their
potential.
Informal education is a lifelong process of learning by which every person acquires
and accumulates knowledge, skills, attitude from daily experiences at home, at work,
at play, and from life itself.
Functions of Education in the Society

• Improving the health of the nation’s youth
• Producing nationalistic citizens
• Build personal character
The two most important goals of education for the individual and society are
productive citizenry and self-actualization. Productive citizenry refers to an idea
that a citizen can create opportunities to become productive. Self-actualization refers
to a desire for self-fulfillment. If an individual’s self-fulfillment is through achieving
his dreams and aspirations in life, once these are achieved, he reaches the level of
self-actualization.
Maslow listed several characteristics of a self-actualized people. These include
the following: acceptance and realism, problem-centering, spontaneity, autonomy
and solitude and continued freshness of appreciation.

Social stratification is a system of differentiation which includes social positions
whose occupations are treated as superior, equal or inferior relative to one another
in socially important respect. – Kurt B. Mayer
At the end of the lesson, the learners are expected to:
1. examine the economic organization and impact to lives of people in the
society;
2. analyze the characteristics of stratification from functionalist and conflict
perspectives; and
3. identify the characteristics of system of stratification.
Education serves as the most significant aspect of the society and a powerful tool to
become a catalyst of change. One must keep in mind the functions of education in
the society.

a. The upper class that has high personal income, inherited wealth, and eco
nomic influence.
b. The middle class includes the small businessman, teachers, merchants,
traders with modest income.
c. The lower class earn with low incomes with little or no savings and
unemployed.
Social mobility is also noticeable in the social stratification. It tells the movement of
one individual or group from social class into another. Family position and affiliation
to wealthy members of the society are viewed as useful to achieve success. The
backer system is used to advantage for employment and other purposes.
In the words of Karl Marx, the Father of Scientific Socialism in his A Preface to a
Critique of Political Economy “In the social production of their life, men enter definite
relations that are indispensable and independent of their will; these relations
of production correspond to a definite stage of development of their material
forces of production. The sum total of these relations of production constitutes
the economic structure of society—the real foundation, on which rises a legal and
political superstructure, and to which correspond definite forms of social
consciousness. The mode of production of material life determines the social, political,
and intellectual life process in general. It is not the consciousness of men that
determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines
their consciousness”
Class System refers to position of individuals according to their access to means of
production and contribution to productive labor. Parents who can afford to send their
children to exclusive schools promotes better advantage for their children. In the
class system, access to education is considered as a ticket to success it has become
the means to accepted means to advanced one’s social mobility. This is supported by
Bell’s Theory on Education-based meritocracy where education is viewed as greatest
social equalizer. Therefore, our society is open to movement of individuals from lower
class to relatively higher class. This is one of the several systems of stratifications.
The other systems are namely, Slavery, Estate systems and Caste Systems. This
system varies on the degree of the vertical mobility, the chances of rising and falling
in the stratification ladder. Open Societies is the most common in the society where
people can have more chances of moving up or down the ladder of social stratification
vertically. On the other hand, in Closed Societies, individuals have no chances of
moving either up or down in the ladder of social stratification.

Stratification System
4
The primitive society shared a common social standing evolves and began to elevate
some members and now, our society has founded its complex system of social
ranking called as Stratification in which there is an unequal distribution of wealth
in the society. Historically, going back to hunting and gathering society had less
stratification. The welfare of the society is depended on the sharing of its members.
The society took equally the rearing and socialization of children, shared food, and
other goods equally. No group emerged as better than the others. But in due time,
the society emerged into a horticultural and pastoral society that led to social
inequality. The people learned to plant and breed animals as source of foods. As the
society began to grow larger, division of labor becomes a necessity that led to
stratification and job specialization. People also began to trade goods and services
and began accumulating possessions. In the 18th century, Industrial Revolution
began in Great Britain and this event also led to an increased in the social
stratification. The gap between the “haves” and the “have-nots” widened. According
to sociologists, there are four types of systems of stratifications and sometimes found
in conjunction with the other these are:
1.Slavery- is the extreme form of inequality in the society and its basis is economic.
It has existed in agrarian societies where slaves are asset in production.
2. Estates- found mostly in the European society in the Medieval Period as category
in a feudal system. In this system, men are assigned their strata according to birth,
military strength, and landholdings. It is created politically according to man-made
laws. The normal divisions were threefold: the clergy the first (high estate), the
nobility (the second estate) and commoners (third estate)
3.Caste System - in the Indian culture is the most common based on
ascription. This is a system of inherited inequality as the guiding principle. It
assumes that each person is pre-ordained a place and occupation and
society at birth.
4. Social Class - This is the most common in the modern industrial society.

Philippine History. (5pts.each)
The status of people is often determined by the social strata, and this can include
wealth and income, social class, ethnicity, gender, political status, and religion. It
also based upon on a Closed or Open System. According to Melvin Tumin there are
characteristics of social stratification.
1. It is social
Stratification does not represent inequality which are biologically based.
Biological traits do not determine social superiority and inferiority until it is
recognized socially. A teacher for example, gains a dominant position in the
field is not investigate their physical strength or age but their educational
trainings, skills, experiences, and personality found to be more important
than biological qualities to attain their social defined traits.
2. It is ancient
The gap between the rich and the poor, powerful and humble, freeman and
slaves started since the dawn of the civilization.
3. It is universal
The concept of social stratification is universal. It is always present in the
society.
4. It is in the diverse forms
There are different forms of social stratification in all societies.
5. It is consequential
the system of stratification leads to two kinds of consequences:

The concept of social mobility was introduced by Pitirim Sorokin in his book Social
and Cultural Mobility. He emphasizes that there is no society that is completely open
(i.e., class system) and no society that is completely closed (caste system in India).
Mobility provides people benefit because they are motivated by different factors in
the society and working toa better standard of living.

society in different forms like income and wealth inequality, unequal access to quality
education and resources and even judicial system.

Social Inequality
5
23 (DO_Q4_UCSP_SHS_LESSON5)
The class (economic order), status (honor) and party (power) are essential dimensions
of social inequality. It is a state of unequal distribution of valued goods and
opportunities and even burdens in the society. A good can refer to income or
employment while burdens are criminality, substance abuse, unemployment, and
marginalization.
Types of Inequality
1. Natural- it refers to sex, age, height, and weight.
2. Man-made- it can be horizontal or vertical for instance, the occupational
group.
Social capital as a set of shared values where individuals work together to achieve
a common purpose. It can be information, innovative ideas, and future opportunities.
In business, it can contribute to a company’s success by building a sense of shared
values and mutual respect.
There are two types of social capital. Bonding refers to the social capital created
within a group with shared interest and goals. Bridging is the creation of social
capital across groups. Nowadays, the internet has revolutionized the social capital
examples are social media, social networking and even app like Airbnb, Grab, Lazada
and Shopee. Sometimes social capital also brings disadvantages it can be both
manipulative and destructive. There are three main theorists that discusses the
social capital Bourdieu (1986), Putnam (1993) and Coleman (1988). Bourdieu saw
social capital as property of individual derived from social position and status. It
resides in the individual that is linked to social connections that can be used for
advancement.
In the study conducted last 2011 by the Stratbase Research Institute, the Philippines
has the highest income inequality rate among the Association of the Southeast Asian
24 (DO_Q4_UCSP_SHS_LESSON5)
Nations (ASEAN) showing that Philippines marks 44 percent higher than Thailand
with 42.5 percent, Indonesia with 39.4 percent, Malaysia’s 37.9 percent, and
Vietnam with 37.8 percent. Aside from the rising inequality within and among the
countries the ADB highlighted other key challenges like poor governance and
corruption. To make growth sustainable, Asian countries must address poverty,
equality of access and opportunity, focus on education, entrepreneurship,
innovation, and technological advancement.
In the article by the Joseph Rowtree Foundation, December 2008 issue aside from
the social and economic inequality there are also other inequalities that is happening
in our society. There are five types of inequality.
a. Political equality includes civic equality and equality before the law.
b. Equality of outcome or result, the equality of income and wealth.
c. Equality of opportunity often called as equality of access or life chances.
d. Less examined idea, equality, or treatment and
Equality of membership in the society

Write TRUE on a separate sheet of paper if the statement is correct otherwise FALSE.
The world’s global inequality is the result of the two centuries unequal progress.
There are unfair opportunities that some people enjoy healthy and wealthy lives while
the other people are not. This global inequality among countries and societies is
rooted in the regional differences, racial differences, gender differences, and
inequalities. This should be addressed by the government of each nation and states
thru government policies and regulations.
At the end of the lesson the learners are expected to:
1. understand the causes of global inequality; and
2. identify the government policies and programs in addressing social
inequalities.
26 (DO_Q4_UCSP_SHS_LESSON6)
Global inequality as defined by the Open Education Sociology Dictionary refers to the
limitation of resources to few core nations and a wealthy minority of corporations or
individuals. Global inequality refers to inequality between ‘world citizens’, comparing
the incomes of individuals across the globe. It includes within-country inequality
based on data collected from household surveys. There are factors that cause global
inequality.
1. Access to healthcare- the lack of accessibility to healthcare, doctors, nurses,
medicines, vaccines are likely to affect people from preventable causes.
2. Economy-Some countries are poorer/richer than others. This means that
they might not have roads or hospitals, or schools. Some people are also
poorer/richer. It means people might not have jobs or clothing or food.
Without a good economy and good jobs, people cannot afford basic needs.
3. Political stability-Not all places have a stable government. Think of all the
ways that your government is involved in your life (jobs, schooling, roads, food
production, almost everything!). Without a stable government, it is hard to live
in a place that is safe and healthy.
4. Basic human rights and equality-Not all places have the same basic rights.
Some places do not allow women to work or vote. Some places persecute
people who are LGBTQ. There might be less rights related to job safety. There
might be less rights related to disability. There might be less rights related to
being a child, or a senior citizen. These places have a shorter life expectancy,
especially for people who are directly affected.
5. Geography-Some places are more dangerous naturally. If you live in an active
earthquake zone, or somewhere extremely cold/hot, or live in a place
surrounded by dangerous animals, it can shorten the average life expectancy
of that area.
6. Education and access to information-Education helps people make their
own lives better, through jobs and opportunities. It also helps a country
become better, with better solutions to their problems.
7. Access to water, food, and sanitation facilities-Not everyone in the world
has access to safe drinking water that is not full of bad germs or chemicals.
Not everyone has access to nutritious food. Not everyone has access to proper
toilets and sewers. All these things are important to stay healthy.
There are several ways to measure inequality. Generally, three main methods can be
distinguished:

3. Do you have a place to call home, with a roof and walls?
28 (DO_Q4_UCSP_SHS_LESSON6)
better targeting is used, ensuring people with wider gaps in access and income
inequality are participants of the programmed.
This can be done using geographic targeting (selecting the regions with a higher
prevalence of poverty) or using surveys to estimate if a potential beneficiary is poor
or how poor she is. There is also the possibility of participatory targeting, where
people from the community identify and validate the selection of beneficiaries.
Participatory Decision-Making
This strategy focuses on increasing the voice of the poor. Poor people often face an
inequality of participation in policy making. Designing participatory methodologies
to include their perspective in public policy can help reduce the gaps of power to
decide over policies, which affect them and their communities. Participation does not
limit to decision making, it can include monitoring and evaluating results and impact
of social policies too.
Promotive action
Discrimination against certain groups of population might isolate them and limit
their access to opportunities for a better wellbeing.
29 (DO_Q4_UCSP_SHS_LESSON6)
In the Philippines, according to the study of Albert Jimenez in his Addressing the
Inequality in the Philippines, he emphasizes the significant role of the government
in addressing the issues and challenges in eradication of the inequalities in all
aspects of the society of the Filipino nation whereas there are three important values
that is investigated to government initiative in addressing these issues.
1. Cultural Patrimony- Social inequity tapers when citizens work together with
a single mindset for their country. In truth, the love of the country is important
for national success. Unfortunately, we have lost our national identity because
of western culture.
Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam were the poorest countries in Asia half a
century ago. Their national and cultural identity was a critical bond that pushed
citizens to move as one and save their country. The Philippine government needs to
unite the country through programs that produce national pride and cultural
patrimony.
2. Godly Character- Corruption has always been the disabler of successful
government programs. Therefore, ensuring a godly character learned at the
grassroots encourages honesty and trustworthiness. Godliness has value. An
expanded “Good Manners Right Conduct” (GMRC) is an effective strategy as a
DepEd school curriculum. Filipino’s harmonious nature, coupled with godly
character, ensures good governance, respectful citizens, and hard-working
people.
3. Personal Responsibility- Filipinos should repeatedly be taught that
