Introduction

There seems to be an increasingly widespread pattern in a country in

which education is of great benefit to people who have high intellect and critical thinking,

hence the word "smart shaming" (intelligent shaming). The words "edi wow!!" or

"pabibo!" are now considered typical responses to people who probably share more

detail than is necessary. Intelligent shaming is a demonstration of how we value

intelligence pursuit. Sometimes, though, we respond quickly and even condemn others

with new ideas. Instead of involving people in meaningful discussions, many social

media users take such an idea sharing as an offence. It's frustrating to learn how healthy

conversations are stopped by these reactions. The 2010 Population and Housing

National Statistical Office indicates that 97.5% of Filipinos aged 10 years or older were

literate or could read and write out of a total number of 69.8 million.

The issues are articulated in such an area that students who are smartly shamed do not

have trust, support and self-determination. Section 2 Bullying Activities, "for purposes of

this Act, bullying" shall apply to any serious or frequent usage, whether a student is

smart-shamed or bullying, by one or more students of writing or verbal and/or electronic

speech, or by an act or gesture."

This study aimed at investigating the consequences of intelligent shaming

University of Arellano – Jose Rizal High School graduates from Humanities and Social

Science. That is why people, including parents and teachers, will do their part to avoid

intelligent shaming in school.

The origins of the culture of smart-shaming could probably have been a key

part of our Filipino identity, as Clare Pillos eloquently said. Dr. Virgilio Enriquez.

Sikolohiyang Pilpino, Father of Philippine Psychology, said "pakikipagkapwa" is still at

the heart of Filipino Psychology. Our social ties are essential to us, and we agree with

other Asian countries about empathy, cohesion and social relations. However, our

experience with spanish and American Colonization has embedded in our psyche a

mistrust of Western constructions, particularly elitism, as writer Julia Jassmine Madrazo-

sta. Romana said in her article on the culture of anti-intelligentism on GMA News Online.

The social systems of our country developed an enormous divide during the colonial era

between well-educated Philippines and the common people who are unable to reach an

educational standard. It smashed the spirit of unity amongst the Philippines and

ultimately led many intellectuals to contain an elitist stereotype.

Statement of the Problem

In this research, students from Arellano University – Jose Rizal High School

are introduced to the effect of smart shaming on Grades 12 in the humanities and social

sciences. In particular, the following questions were addressed in this study:

1. What are the descriptions of the respondents?

1.1 Age

1.2 Gender

2. What are the effects in school of intelligent shame?

3. What are the consequences on students of intelligent shaming?

4. What are the findings of the study to avoid smart school shaming?

Significance of the Study:

The purpose of this study is to students from the Arellano University, Jose Rizal

2
High School, in science and social science at grade 12. The outcome of this analysis will

Scope and Delimitation

University of Arellano – Jose Rizal High School. It needs students in the 12th grade of

Humanities and Social Sciences to search answers.

This study aims at obtaining information and an answer from 12-degree students in

Humanities and Social Sciences, using surveying questionnaires which contain a

3
number of indicators on the effects of smart shaming at 12-degree universities and

students in Social Science at the José Rizal University in Arellano University. The

researchers are selected from a target population of grade 12 Humanities and Social

Sciences who can provide the best answers to the questions put by researchers. A total

of 50 interviewees were gathered.
