New Challenges to Human Adaptation and Social Change
Humans are generally adaptive
to changes in the environment. If
people perceive relevant changes in
the environment they are in, they
readily adapt their behaviour to meet
these new challenges for their own
benefit. Changes are inevitable. They
bring a host of problems, and as
humans, we are challenged to
respond to these problems not only
individually but collectively.

Global Warming and Climate Change
Many researchers on global warming and climate change focus mostly on what
it will bring to the future. Climate change serves as a new challenge to humans today.
The changing climatic conditions that we experience tell us that there is an existing
environmental problem that needs to be addressed immediately so that it will not give
too much negative impact to human beings in the future. Everyone must do something
and act on global warming and climate change to ensure the survival of human
species.
Today, different programs are being implemented worldwide to prevent further
global warming and avoid climate change. Despite of this, its effect will definitely last
many years from now. Therefore, adaptation to the resulting changes in climate
change is necessary. The goal of adaptation to climate change is to increase the ability
of our environmental, social, and economic system to cope with the problem,Transnational Migration and Overseas Filipino Workers
Aside from human adaptation to changes in environment, people on earth are
also facing adaptation challenges borne by the need for mobility; people are changing
residences rapidly.
Migration is defined as the process of geographic mobility, or the change of
residence of a person from one community to another with the intention of settling
temporarily or permanently. There are three types of migration — international
migration is the permanent transfer trom one country to another. A change of
residence within a country is called internal migration. Circular migration is a
temporary movement of a person.
Transnational migrants are those persons who having migrated from one
nation-state to another, live their lives across borders, participating simultaneously in
social relations that embed them in more than one nation-state.
Overseas Filipino Worker is a person of Filipino origin who lives and works
outside of the Philippines. This term applies to Filipinos who are abroad indefinitely as
citizens or as permanent residents of a different country and to those Filipino citizens
who are abroad for a limited, definite period as workers or as students. They are called
bagong bayani ng bayan
Responding to Social, Political, and Cultural Change
Inclusive citizenship is a governing policy focused at giving all citizens a
strong sense that they are members of the overall society. This also includes access
to public funds, public organizations, egalitarian rights and acceptance by national
figures.
Participatory governance is a kind theory which put emphasis on democratic
engagement through deliberative practices. The desired output of participatory
governance is citizen engagement. Participation is a fundamental goal of most
government institutions. The right to participate in a society's decision-making
processes has been accepted as a basic human right.
New media. From media to mass media, to electronic media, and now to the
so-called new media. Technology has a great influence on our way of living; It also
widens our social circle. New media is a generic term for the many different forms of
electronic communication that are made possible through the use of computer
technology.
Social networking is a more casual form of social media. The most popular
example is Facebook. Social networking is just one of the different forms and types of
social media. Others include forums, microblogging, bookmarking, video sites and
search engines.Social movement is defined as a set of attitudes and self-conscious actions by
people seeking to change society. Social movements involve a large number of people
mobilize to endorse or resist any social and cultural change.
Environmentalism |s a social movement whose advocacies are in line with
concerns for the environment - its protection and improvement; feminism is for the
women’s liberation movernent. It is a feminist movement which is a series of political
campaigns to push for reforms on issues involving women such as reproductive
