MODULE INTRODUCTION
This Module is an introduction to the diverse fields of the Social Sciences
and Humanities that caters to the needs of the students in the core,
specialized/track, and applied subjects in the K to12 Senior High School
Curriculum during this situation called NEW NORMAL. The series adheres to the
constructivist and learner- centered philosophy of education to encourage active
student involvement and collaboration in the teaching learning process in
different learning category (Blended, Home based-learning, online and Face to
face). The topics, activities, and assessment in all the titles are carefully selected
and adjusted to align to the standards, competencies, and content stipulated in
the K to12 Senior High School Curriculum, to deepen understanding and mastery
of content and competencies acquired in the New Normal situation of our country
and to meet global trends and standards in the various fields of the Social
Sciences and Humanities.
In the end of this module aims to equip the students with the necessary
content knowledge, skills, and competencies in the different fields of the Social
Sciences and Humanities that they can apply in understanding and analyzing,
proposing solutions and alternatives, and being actively involved in political,
economic, social, and cultural issues and trends, that are happening in the
Philippines and the world today. Through its structured and well-designed
lessons and activities, the series aspires to make students experience and
appreciate learning of the Social Sciences and Humanities as fun and exciting,
meaningful, and relevant field study. I hope that after two years of study, this
module will be able to influence learners to choose a career in the Social
Sciences and Humanities profession in college, and will prepare them to become
productive, responsible, and active citizens of the community, country and the
world.

POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES
An Ideology is a more or less coherent set of ideas that provides the basis
for organized political action, whether this is intended to preserve, modify, or
overthrow the existing system of power. All Ideologies therefor (a) offer an
account of the existing order, usually in the form of “world-society’ (b) advance a
model of desired future, a vision of the ‘good society’, and (c) explain how
political change can and should be brought about – how to get from A to B
(Heywood 2003, 12).

POLITICS I 11
What Is It
Anarchism
Endorses direct democracy and call for continuous popular participation and
radical decentralization.
Socialism
Traditionally endorses a form of radical democracy based on popular
participation and desire to bring economic life under public control, dismissing
liberal democracy as simply capitalist democracy.
Liberalism
Understand democracy in individual terms as consent expressed through the
ballot box, democracy being equated with regular and competitive elections.
Conservatism
Endorses liberal-democratic rule but with qualification about the need to protect
property and traditional institutions from the untutored will of the many.’
The new right, however, has linked electoral democracy to the problems of over-
government and economic stagnation.
Fascism
Embraces the ideas of totalitarian democracy, holding that a genuine democracy
is an absolute dictatorship as the leader monopolizes ideological wisdom and is
alone able to articulate the true interest of the people.
