II. CONTENT

Ways of Addressing an Issue

A. Concept: While there are cultural and relational barriers to change,

ultimately the only person stopping us is our self. There are lots of things that
bother us which we are simply not going to do anything about. Whatever we
can think of to do may require more effort than we believe the problem or issue
deserves. Getting ourselves to move from noticing that we are bothered to
actually doing something about it is a huge hurdle.
Issues are an important topic or problem for debate or discussion. It can be
either personal problems or difficulties or social problems.

IV. PROCEDURES

A. Engage
 1. Preparatory Activity
-Health Inspection
-Weather Report

2. Ask the students about the issues or problem they are facing today as a
student or as an individual. List their answers on the board.

B. Explore:

1. Groupings
2. Setting of standards
3. Activity proper

Procedure: Based on the answer of the students group them into three and ask
them to try to look for ways where they can address and solve the problem they
have. The teacher will divide the issues listed per group.

Guide questions:
1. What are the issues or problem?
2. What are the causes of the problem?
3. Will this issue affect me big enough to address it immediately?
4. What are the possible solution and outcomes for this issue?

C. Explain

a. Reporting/presentation of outputs
b. Analysis and discussion:

D. Elaborate
a. Discussion proper

To address an issue you have to think about it first. Pause for a while and try to
address the issue without being impulsive.
1. Know the issue:
This is the first thing you ought to do if you want to know how to solve a problem.
Know the problem in depth, understand every aspect of the problem, and figure
out where the problem majorly affects you.
Consider these questions:
 What is the problem?
 Is it my problem?
 Can I solve it? Is it worth solving?
 Is this the real problem, or merely a symptom of a larger one?
 If this is an old problem, what's wrong with the previous solution?
 Does it need an immediate solution, or can it wait?
 Is it likely to go away by itself?
 Can I risk ignoring it
 Does the problem have ethical dimensions?
 What conditions must the solution satisfy?
 Will the solution affect something that must remain unchanged?
Causes!
When problem solving, identify the causes of the problem in order to solve it.
  Identify causes of your problem
Look at the current situation, rather than its history
Do not consider the "trouble" it creates whether now or in the future.
 List and organize the causes of the problem
2. Know how everyone is involved:
The issue at hand would affect the different people in different ways, taking
into account their interests. Make sure you know what interests each person
at your workplace holds with respect to the issue. What we often do is look
at the issue but, forget to look at our interest. This is where you need to
listen to the different people, and understand what they have to say about
the problem. Learn their interests and how the problem will affect what is
most important to.
3. List out all the solutions:
By now you would have come up with a set of solutions, either on your own
or as a team effort. Whichever it is, your list of solutions should be
comprehensive. Make sure you have not missed out any solution that would
possibly affect your cause.
4. Evaluation of the solutions:
It is not important that you come up with solutions but also important to
evaluate them and see which one meets the framework perfectly. Write
down the pros and cons for each of the solution that you have derived for
the problem in hand. There would be certain solutions that would hold more
cons than pros, you might have to remove this solution from the list
immediately. If you have too many options pointing the same way, and you
believe they all can be helpful, try merging the solutions.
5. Select the final option:
Post the discussion and the several evaluation factors, you will need to
select the final option, and ensure that it is applicable. You will need to work
your way through identifying the roadmap to initiate the solution, and make
sure that it works for the problem

Application

Read the scenario. Ask them to come up with alternative ways to

solve the problem.

 You have agreed to go to your “Lolo and Lola” for tea but you find out that
your friends are going to see a really good movie at the cinema and you
would like to go too.

 You have saved up for your sister’s birthday present but you really want to
buy something you have seen for yourself.

Making Generalization

1. How will you address an issue?

2. Is it important to think of ways to solve a problem before coming up
with a decision? Why?
 E. Evaluate

Directions: Given the social issue below, give at least five (5) alternative ways
to address the issue.

Mr. Lopez is a graduate of a college degree but it has been a year since
then and until now, he has not able to land a job due to unemployment in the
country.
