 What’s In

Applied social sciences have different functions that include Self-

development, Persuasion, Arts and Entertainment, Education, News and
Information, Organizing, Advocacy, and Mobilization and Socialization which can be
used in different careers.

What’s New

Directions:
“Take a few minutes to reflect on your personal experience with any service of social
science practitioners and any function of applied social sciences. How has
counseling, social work, communication channel, or any of the functions in society
affected your personal life? Or how has it influenced your life as a student?”

What is It

Effects of Applied Social Sciences Processes

The applied social sciences have various effects in our lives. Some of these are
discussed as follows:

➢ Awareness and knowledge: i.e., Social Media

✓ Social Media
Positive Impact

- you can communicate to your friends fast over the internet

- you can search nearly anything online

- you can purchase products online which makes it easier, can save time,
money and effort.

Negative Impact

- creates a generation barrier where different generations can rarely

communicate

3
 - makes people vulnerable to hackers, viruses and identity thefts

Social Media is just like a HALF GLASS of water. It depends on us what we see. In other
words, it’s a matter of choice on how we use it.

Through the applied social sciences, people have developed ways to understand
one’s self and the other people around.

Counseling allows us to understand one’s personality including various problems

and issues that may affect an individual. The applied social sciences also allow us to
understand better and probe deeper into the different problems and issues affecting an
individual, group, and society through social work.

Social work provides awareness and understanding of community organizing

issue and mobilization. They also inform communities about the important political, social,
and economic issue that is affecting them. Trainings conducted by social workers on
community capacity building provide members with successful strategies and skills for
personal and community development.

The applied social sciences, particularly communication helped people to

become more discerning about the problems of country. Television, radio, and newspaper
provide people information on the different issues faced by the country. Through media,
people also became more aware of the social realities.

➢ Attitude and value change: i.e., disaster risk reduction and the bahala na habit
✓ Disaster Risk Reduction
- People’s perceptions of natural, spiritual, and social phenomena are socially
constructed.

- Disaster risk reduction is not a completely individual effort as it can also be

fostered by social networks.

✓ The Bahala na Habit

It’s a habit of Filipinos to say it especially when they don’t have a choice left to
gain that boosts their ego to do something that you need, and most of the times it is
effective.

 Positiveness of “Bahala Na”

- highlighting one’s courage to willingly face difficulty and possible failure

- it leads to hope, optimism, self-efficacy, and courage

- willing to accept responsibilities in situations which he cannot control

- unstructured situations where the person has to have a strong sense of

pakiramdam as well

Negativeness of “Bahala Na”

- For some, it may just be a lame excuse to do nothing

- a sign of laziness for some students who refuse to prepare for upcoming
exams out of fear or laziness.

In summary, “bahala na” mentality has two meaning among Filipinos. For
hardworking Filipino, this mentality reflects an optimistic attitude that good things will come
since they have done their best. If not, they will not worry so much about the result. The
attitude revolves around a healthy dose of faith in God and a realistic acceptance that life is
not perfect.

The applied social sciences allow us to understand various social phenomena

and because of this, people can make significant changes in their attitudes and values to
prevent the occurrence of various natural and social problems.

Example, risks of disasters can be prevented and mitigated through the use of
the applied social sciences because it can provide us information on what to do when
disasters happen in a community. Community social workers provide people with information
that can help them to make important attitude and value changes so that the impact of
disasters can be reduced.

Another example is the impact of climate change to society and its overarching
effects on our country has become clearer and can easily be understood through the
information communication to us by media. Disasters, climate change, and its other adverse
effects are now clear to society because it has been effectively discussed and
communicated in different forms of media like, television. radio, internet, and social media.
Applied social scientists can communicate to the people impact of these social
environmental phenomena through their understanding of the interaction of society, culture,
and environment. Because of our knowledge of climate change, people have developed a
new perspective and change of attitudes and values about the importance of climate
change.

Social workers provide people affected by disaster training on how to become

vulnerable to hazards on what they should do before, during, after a disaster. These
trainings and programs that were done and implemented by applied social sciences

5
practitioners changed the people’s attitudes, values, and ideas towards disasters. Through
the help of social workers, people affected by disasters become more resilient and prepared
in times of disasters.
