Hymn to Labor
By: Dr. Jose Rizal
Chorus:
For the Motherland in war,
For the Motherland in peace,
Will the Filipino keep watch,
He will live until life will cease!
MEN:
Now the East is glowing with light,
Go! To the field to till the land,
For the labour of man sustains
Fam'ly, home and Motherland.
Hard the land may turn to be,
Scorching the rays of the sun above...
For the country, wife and children
All will be easy to our love.
Chorus:
WIVES:
Go to work with spirits high,
For the wife keeps home faithfully,
Inculcates love in her children
For virtue, knowledge and country.
When the evening brings repose,
On returning joy awaits you,
And if fate is adverse, the wife,
Shall know the task to continue.
5
Chorus:
MAIDENS:
Hail! Hail! Praise to labour,
Of the country wealth and vigor!
For it brow serene's exalted,
It's her blood, life, and ardor.
If some youth would show his love
Labor his faith will sustain :
Only a man who struggles and works
Will his offspring know to maintain.
Chorus:
CHILDREN:
Teach, us ye the laborious work
To pursue your footsteps we wish,
For tomorrow when country calls us
We may be able your task to finish.
And on seeing us the elders will say:
"Look, they're worthy 'f their sires of
yore!"
Incense does not honor the dead
As does a son with glory and valor.

What is It

In this part of your journey, we provide something for you to read in order to
deepen your understanding about the topic.
Inclusive Citizenship
Civic Responsibility is defined as the responsibility of a citizen. It is
comprised of actions and attitudes associated with democratic governance and
social participation. Civic responsibility can include participation in government,
church, volunteers and memberships of voluntary associations.
Civic means belonging to a city, a citizen, or citizenship, municipal or civil
society. Responsibility refers to the state or quality of being responsible or
something for which one is responsible such as duty, obligation or burden.
Citizen is a person having the title of citizenship, is a member of a
democratic community who enjoys full civic and political rights, and is accorded
protection inside and outside the territory of the State.
Citizenship has been defined as membership in a political community
which is personal and more or less permanent in character. It is the status or
character of being a citizen and a citizen of a given state or country is one who
owes it permanent allegiance and is entitled to its protection on the basis of the
legal and political conception of citizenship.

Important Duties and Obligation of Every Citizen in a Democratic Society by
Hector S. De Leon
1. To be loyal to the country
2. To defend the State
3. To contribute to the development and welfare of the State
4. To uphold the Constitution and obey the laws
5. To cooperate with duly constituted authorities
6. To exercise rights responsibility and with due regard for the rights of others
7. To engage in gainful work
8. To register and vote
Inclusive Citizenship is a governing policy focused at giving all citizens a
strong sense that they are members of the overall society. Its policies include laws
that provide non-isolated access to all citizens regardless of race, gender, religious
beliefs and socioeconomic status. This also access to public funds, public
organizations, egalitarian rights and acceptance by national figure. Furthermore,
inclusive citizenship focuses on the legal rights of all individuals in cases where the
government determines their rights of inclusion.
Governance is the concept of recent exposure to designate the efficiency,
equality and good guidance of the intervention of the state. It defines a “new form of
government” in the globalization. Governance exists in different types: participatory
governance, corporate governance, economic governance and environmental and
natural governance.
Participatory Governance is a kind of governance theory which puts
emphasis on democratic engagement through deliberative practices. It seeks to
deepen citizen participation in all the different governmental processes by
examining the conventions and practices of the traditional view which hinders the
realization of a true participatory democracy.
Participatory governance consists of state-sanctioned institutional processes
that allow citizens to exercise voice and vote, which then results in the
implementation of public policies that produce some sort of challenges in citizens’
lives. Citizens are engaged in public venues at a variety of times throughout the
year.
Participatory Governance and Development is when the actual
participation of citizens in different forms of democracy has a bearing on the
relationship between democracy and economic development. These studies have
also made some suggestions that practicing democracy may help reduce the
instability of a nation’s economic performance, therefore lowering doubts,
improving resource allocation and allowing people to better plan their lives.

 Important
Requirements to
Achieve Description
Effective
Participation

1. Empowered  The success and effectiveness of participation is on the

Participatory creation of countervailing power and not just on the
Governance technicalities of institution design.
 Countervailing means wielding power within a community
by having two or more centers that more often than not will
usually oppose each other thereby providing counter-forces
that will be useful to the balance of power.

2. Fulfillment  The realization of each citizen rights serves as a

of Human Rights precondition of effective participation of the people in the
community.
 Countervailing cannot be successful without the self-
actualization of civil and political rights such as freedom of
speech, freedom of information and equal access to justice
among others.

3. Transparency  Decision making and policy making should be done with

and transparency; otherwise the so-called “distant
Accountability participation” will not be sure that their views and
aspirations have received due consideration.

Media
Media which is the plural form of the word medium, refers to the collective or
different communication tools used to store and deliver variety of information and
data. Most media are associated with communications media such as print media,
the press, photography, advertising, creative arts, movies, broadcasting,
entertainment industry, and publishing. In short, media refers to all print, digital,
and electronic means of communication.
New Forms of Media
From media to mass media, to electronic media and now to the so-called new
media. Indeed, technology not just changes our way of living; it also widens our
social circles through the media.
New media is a generic term for different forms of electronic communication
that are made possible through the use of computer. It was referred to as new
media in relation to “old” media forms such as printed newspapers and magazines
which are static representations of text and graphics.
New media includes websites, audio and video streaming, chat room, email,
online communities, web advertising, DVD and CD-ROM media, virtual reality

4
environments, integration of digital data with the telephone, such as internet
telephony, digicams, mobile computing and the like.
Mass Media VS Personal Media
Personal media is any form of media designed for use by a specific person
in contrast to mass media, which is any form of media designed for use by large
sets of people. Personal media can also denote person-to-person communications,
such as speech, gestures, mail, and telephony.
The earliest forms of personal media, speech and gestures, had the benefit of
being easy-to-use and not needing technology. But the downside of not being able
to communicate to large audiences led to the development of mass media, such as
writing.
New advancements can prompt new kinds of media and the capacity to
utilize a given type of media is identified with the capacity to utilize its related
innovation. For instance, nowadays, people have utilized an innovation, composing,
to upgrade discourse. Yet, composing was at one time the selective space of
copyist’s proficient hand-journalists and that imposing business model just truly
finished after the approach of another innovation, printing. It got simpler for some
individuals to figure out how to peruse auto instructionally or by means of
establishments the capacity to compose was not wide-spread until the mechanical
insurgency when paper and composing utensils got reasonable and generally
accessible.
Today, innovation is further universalizing the capacity to create media.
Printing, radio and TV are few instances of broad communications in that they are
planned to contact huge crowds. Be that as it may, these types of media already
could not be utilized by the normal individuals. The coming of individual media
innovations like blogging, podcasting and internet video permitted the normal
individual to do what was then confined to media organizations.
Social Media
A social media is an online assistance, stage, or
webpage that centers on encouraging the structure of
interpersonal organizations or social relations among
individuals who, for instance, share interests,
exercises, foundations, or genuine associations. An
informal organization administration comprises of a
portrayal of every client (frequently a profile), his/her
social connections, and an assortment of extra
administrations. Most interpersonal organization
administrations are online and give intends to clients
to associate over the internet, for example, email and
texting.

Social Movement
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 mobilized to endorse or
resist any social and cultural change.
Charles Tilly, a sociologist, defines social
movement as a series of contentious performance,
displays and campaign by which ordinary people
make collective claims on others. He believes that
social movement is a major vehicle for ordinary
people’s participation in public politics.
Three major elements of social movement:
1. Campaign - a sustained, organized public effort making collective claims of
target authority
2. Repertoire - employment of combinations from among the following forms of
political action; creation of special-purpose associations and coalitions, public
meetings, solemn procession, vigils, rallies, demonstrations, petition drives
statement to and in public media
3. WUNC displays - participants’ concerted public representative of worthiness,
unity, members and commitments on the part of themselves and/or their
constituencies
Characteristics of Social Movement
1. All social movements have objectives
2. Movements develop programs for change
3. Movements establish an ideology- beliefs, norms, and values to justify their
existence and give themselves direction
4. Each member has a commitment

7
Orientations of Social Movements
1. Power-oriented Movements. The social movement in which member use coercion
and often illegitimate means to reach their objectives
2. Persuasion-oriented Movements. The social movement that uses legal means to
accomplish their objectives.
3. Participation-oriented Movement. The social movement relatively unconcerned
about changing society but attempts to create a following of dedicated believers.
Members join to gain orientation and help from the movement
Stages of the Development of Social Movements
1. Incipient Phase- This is the stage when the social movement is already
established leadership, goals, ideologies, and programs which are defined and
elaborated. It is characterized by confusion and disorganization.
2. Organized Phase- This is the stage when the social movement has already
established leadership, goals, ideologies, and programs which are defined and
elaborated.
3. Stable Phase- This is the stage of the social movement when it has now evolved
into a bureaucratic organization.
Reasons for the Emergence of Social Movements
A. Changing Cultural Values
Changes in our society constantly happen in all civilized societies; the
behavior and value system of the people are changing. The examples of cultural
change include the following progress of a democratic society, the liberation of
women, the increase of mass education, equality of the sexes, and development of
secularism.
B. Disorganization in the Society
The changing society is different in various aspects of society. They do not
take place concurrently. While one part may change so fast, the others may lag in
their changes. It is a proven fact that urbanization of societies through
industrialization has resulted to numerous social problems.
C. Injustices in the Society
When a group of people feel that injustice has been done to it, they become
frustrated and alienated. Such feeling of injustice provides fertile soil for social
movements. The feeling of social injustice is not limited to the miserable poor. Any
group, at any status level may come to feel itself the victim of social injustice. A
wealthy class may feel a sense of injustice when faced with urban property.
Theories of Social Movements
1. Absolute Deprivation Theory. This theory states that the working class even
with their longer hours of work could barely support their family's basic needs.
Such a scenario would someday push the working class to organize, to revolt and
to break existing structures.

8
2. Relative Deprivation Theory. This theory refers to the conscious feelings of
negative discrepancy between legitimate expectations and present realities, this
perceived discrimination may lead to collective action leading to mobilization and
revolt
3. Resource Mobilization Theory. This theory refers to the mobilization of
resources like money, media, political influence, and influential people to articulate
a group's grievances and frustrations.
Types of Social Movements
1. Alternative Movement. Considered as the least threatening movement, it is
only intends to cause a change in individuals and not to the whole system.
2. Redemptive or "Messianic" Movements. These are usually religious in
character and do not attempt to change society, but engage in attracting people to
their religious causes and beliefs.
3. Revolutionary Movements. These are movements seeking radical change
making their ideological beliefs as their guide and weapon.
4. Reform Movements. These are movements which seek only to improve, to
reform or to revise the existing order. They do not attempt to abolish it, making
their ideological beliefs as their guide and weapon.
5. Reactionary Movements. These are movements seek to restore the status duo
after social changes. This aim is to revert back to the old practices in the system.
6. "Utopian" Movements. These movements are promising an ideal if not perfect
and harmonious existence in society for its members. They convince members to
live in justice, freedom, equality, wisdom, beauty, and plenty.
7. Terrorism. It is the use of violence against civilian targets for the purpose of
intimidation to achieve political ends.
The Functions of Social Movements
The great changes in the social order of the world which have occurred in
the past two centuries are very largely the direct or indirect result of social
movements. For even if a movement did not achieve all its goals, parts of its
program were accepted and incorporated into the ever-changing society. This has
been the main or manifest function of these movements.
Level of Social Movement
Most of the people usually take for granted the changes a certain social
movement may cause. These movements can happen anywhere - in town, in a
certain nation, or around the world. They can be small or big, and they can be in
local or global. Social movement can be categorized into different levels such as
local, national, regional and global.
