What is It
Just like an identical twin, the different disciplines of social science have
similarities despite of their differences.
According to Quexbook, 2018 People with a certain word choice, syntax, and
pronunciation are revealed to be members of a particular speech community; a
group of people who share social conventions about language use. Some features
are noticeable (salient) and are recognized within the community as having a
particular social meaning. Other features are sociolinguistic indicators that can be
associated with certain social characteristics. Different speech communities may
reflect subsets of the same language called dialects.
According to Quexbook, 2018 Although sociology has its roots in the works
of philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, and Confucius, it is a relatively new academic
discipline. It emerged in the early nineteenth century in response to the challenges
of modernity.
5
According to Quexbook, 2018 The Demographic Transition Model (DTM) is
based on historical population trends of two demographic characteristics - birth
rate and death rate - to suggest that a country’s total population growth rate cycles
through stages as that country develops economically.

Additional Activities
Under Pressure!
Direction: Read the scenario below and answer the questions that follow using the
worksheet as your guide. Use a separate paper for your answer.
Here is the scenario. You are on your way to an important job interview that
is given only to shortlisted applicants which includes you. You have waited long for
this job interview and prepared for it. To miss the interview is to miss a very good
chance at a job opportunity that you have dreamed of since you were a kid. You are
16
very excited and hopeful that you will get the job. You are on your way to the job
interview when suddenly you received a call from your younger brother/sister
asking for your help. Your brother/sister seems confused and sounds unintelligible
over the phone, and you are worried! To add to your dilemma, your brother/sister
is a person with disability (PWD).
Your questions are: what will you do? Would you rush to your sister/brother
and forget about the job interview? Or would you ignore the distress call and
proceed to the interview and pretend you never received it? Or do you have any
other options?
To help you answer the questions, please fill out the worksheet (Under
Pressure) below. Each quadrant (A, B, C and D) represents a situation wherein you
need to assess your options (strategies and alternatives) and make a choice or
decision (action). Analyze and write the advantages (benefits) and disadvantages
(risks or costs) of each pair of options in each quadrant. Make sure that you also
analyze the implications of each option to your preferences, and ultimately, to your
goal. Once you complete the table, you should be able to make a choice or decision.
