What I Can Do

Directions: Read and analyze the questions carefully.

1. Read an article about the origin of COVID-19 and discuss how this
pandemic affect human life today.
 COVID-19 is one of the deadliest infectious disease that
emerged in our history recently. Even before, it emerges in the
late 2000 and 2012 it is still not that deadly because it does not
transmit to humans but now it is. It is originated in Wuhan
China wherein the people get it to the bats by eating them and
now it can transfer to other person in terms of saliva. If that
liquid gets in to your system, it will attack your immune system
to weaken you. That's why this pandemic really affects our lives
because as much as possible we should stay at home. We
cannot go now anywhere we want to recklessly unlike before
because there are now protocols to check if you are wearing
face mask, face shield, and most importantly following the one
and only rule social distancing. There are also strict curfews to
follow now unlike before too. Even our education system
because our class before is face to face but now it is through
online. That's why there are many students and teachers are
having difficulties in coping with this because it just so hard.
Even me as a student are having a hard time to this. The system
of our production to our country also stops that's why there are
many businesses have closed and even their workers don't
have a work now because they are only depending to it but
because of the pandemic they didn't even know how to give
the needs of their family. Also, the unemployment rate in our
country have increased excessively that's why it will be hard to
the government now to solve the poverty in our country. Even
the government don't know how to control the increasing rate
of COVID-19 patients. This pandemic also affects our physical,
 mental, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of our lives.
That's why it is important for us to have discipline because even
our small things we do can greatly help or affect our country to
the better.
2. In your opinion, what is the role of social science in times of COVID-
19?
 I believe that the role of social science in this time of pandemic
is to know how the human and the society works such as their
relationships, institutions, and their behaviors for them to know
how they influence the world to give solution for the people to
follow on because if they know how the people think, they will
come up to a solution that the people will follow willingly.
