BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Have you ever wondered how our society has shaped you as a person? Did
you ever think of the contributing factors that affect your everyday life? Well, as a
Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) learner, it is important for you to ponder
or think about these things seriously. According to Alan W. Watts, a British
philosopher, we rarely realize that our most private emotions and thoughts, our
principles or convictions, our systems of communication, and many more are not
really ours. Rather, these things were given to us by our society.
In this lesson, you will learn about the importance of the various disciplines
under the Social Sciences in comprehending and recognizing controversial issues
and complications in the society. Additionally, you will also identify the similarities
and differences among these disciplines.

DISCUSSIONS
Lesson
Aside from the spread of the infectious disease and the struggle to contain it,
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic has created far-reaching
implications, including economic, social, and cultural consequences. The said
disease is anticipated to automatically affect the Philippine economy and the global
economy as well, since deceleration or slowdown in economic activities, which is an
infection control practice, is inevitably needed in preventing and reducing the
transmission of the disease from one person to another. Decrease in tourist arrivals
because of travel restrictions, sharp decline in remittances, increase in business
closures, and rise in the unemployment rate are some of the expected economic
impacts of the pandemic.
Apart from the economic sectors, this infectious disease has also affected the
different social institutions, such as education and family. Widespread closures of
educational institutions and utilization of distance education instead of face-to-face
learning are a few implications of the pandemic in the educational system. Also,
people, especially women and children, have become more vulnerable to the
different types of domestic and sexual violence because of community quarantine,
which is sad, thinking that it should be safer for them to stay at home with their
family. According to the Philippine National Police's - Women and Children
Protection Center (PNP-WCPC), 602 cases of sexual assault, or an average of eight
incidents a day, were recorded from March 17, 2020 to May 23, 2020. These were
the times when Luzon and other parts of the Philippines were under enhanced
community quarantine because of the pandemic. Religion is another social
institution that is impacted by the pandemic. Sunday schools or church schools
were closed, worship services of various religious institutions were cancelled, and
even pilgrimages, or visitations to the places that are considered holy or special,
were also cancelled.

investigating the different social forces related to the development and transmission
of this infectious disease. Moreover, Social Science disciplines can produce
knowledge that can be employed in helping individuals, families, and communities
on how to better cope with the implications of the pandemic. Now, the question is:
What are the different disciplines under the Social Sciences?

Rubrics
REMEMBER
• Social Sciences primarily include the following disciplines: Anthropology,
Demography, Economics, Geography, History, Linguistics, Political Science,
Psychology, and Sociology.
• Anthropology seeks to understand the origins of human beings, the
adaptations, either biological or cultural, that enable people to fit in with
their environments, and the variations in cultural traditions and beliefs
about life among people or groups of people.
• Demography examines the various characteristics of the human population,
such as the size, the density, the spatial distribution or territorial dispersion,
and the composition or structure, and the different factors that cause
changes within its structure
• Economics deals with the issues or problems connected to the optimum
allocation of limited resources, which have alternative uses, in order to
satisfy the unlimited needs and desires of the people
• Geography studies the distribution and location of the various physical or
natural structures of the Earth, which include the topographies or
landscapes, the climatic conditions, the living things, and even the
appearances of the occupied portions, and the relationships, as well as the
interactions, between the people and their environments.

• History reconstructs several recorded human events and natural phenomena
and explains the various human actions and thoughts in the past and the
changes that these had undergone through the analysis of primary and
secondary sources of information.
• Linguistics is the scientific analysis of different natural or human languages,
which are products of human race’s biological and cultural heritages, and
their structures, such as sounds, words, phrases, and sentences.

processes, bases and limits of political power and its manifestations, types of
legitimate authority or rule, and systems of government.
