ACTIVITY #1

MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW PROJECTS OF THE COURSE

1. What is the difference between Social Interaction to Socialization?

Social interaction is the process by which we act and react to people around us, causing
people’s behavior to change. In any human social activity, verbal and nonverbal communication are
used. Social interaction, therefore, is a daily affair that involves people who have different roles as
well as different status, and it can take the form of verbal as well as non-verbal communication.
Some of the benefits of social interaction are that it helps to improve learning strategies and it
enables the learner to discover situations that are distressing for him or her. The other aspect in
which social interaction can help one to improve his or her learning strategies is that it enables one to
become a good listener as well as learn how to accept responsibility for actions that one takes. For
instance, the adolescents socialize with one another by sharing their feelings, supporting each other
emotionally, as well as learning to view things from their colleagues’ perspective. While
Socialization is a process of interaction that establishes a stable and balanced relationship between an
individual and his society. This process teaches an individual to work and perform daily tasks and
functions according to the rules of society. These rules and norms are among his first lessons in
discipline. They are taught to follow rules, manners, and things about good and bad habits.

2. Give 1 Negative Impact of Education on Society. And explain it in your own words.
Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills,
values, beliefs, and habits. By this definition, education can never have negative effects. It only
produces negative effects when its process or acquisition is undertaken incorrectly. For example,
many incorrectly equate schooling with education when, in truth, schooling is only one way of being
educated. All processes of learning are part of education. This means that life itself is part of
education. If there are negative consequences, they are brought about by incorrect or misguided
implementation of education; in other words, miseducation. This is not in the dictionary but should
be. Simply put, miseducation is being educated incorrectly, either through a wrong process, a
misguided ideology, or wrong information. For example, students may be misled if they are taught
using outdated teaching models or by biased ideologues using wrong information. For example, for
the vast majority of people, formal schooling is the only way to gain an education. But the practices
in this sector have not been updated for nearly a century, so many of the teaching methods and
principles used are severely outdated. Many schools are still stuck in the information transfer model
of teaching. Students are being taught WHAT to learn instead of being taught HOW to learn. This is
a big problem as students go on to become mere parrots.

3. What is the importance of the element of social interaction in our society? Explain in your own
words.
Throughout our lives, the way we learn to interact with others and build relationships has a
major impact on not only our social lives, but our physical, mental, and emotional health as well.
Social interactions have an important function in society. They allow members of a community to
socialize and encourage a sense of community. They provide a means for the spread and
strengthening of social and cultural mores and norms. Through social interactions, individuals
reaffirm their commitment to community values. Because social interaction is the foundation of
society. Without interaction there would be no group life. For instance, interaction is the major
processes for the socialization of an individual from birth to death, which exists in every culture.

4. What is the connection between socialization and social interaction?

Socialization emphasizes that socialization results from social interaction. Since socialization
results from our social interaction with others, it is also true that we learn how to interact from our
socialization. We have seen many examples of this process. Among other things, we learn how far
apart to stand when talking to someone else, we learn to enjoy kissing, we learn how to stand and
behave in an elevator, and we learn to shake hands when greeting someone. In social interactions,
involved parties must bear in mind each other’s selves. For instance, army commanders preparing
war plans against their enemies or friends writing letters to each other are forms of social interaction,
 regardless of such actions not being directly physical or in sight. This means that social interaction
exists despite there being no physical behavior involved; for instance, when competitors intentionally
ignore each other’s professional work.

5. Give two example effect of teacher and school group behavior.

Teachers and schools play their roles by acquainting their students with the ideas, ethical
values, cultural attainments, political principles, social customs, and economic principles that
determine the character and quality of life. A successful society is one that achieves its objectives,
which are set by schools and teachers. Some common effects on group behavior of teachers and
schools are cooperation and target achievement. Teacher behavior is a key factor when it comes to
ensuring quality education for all. The way teachers behave has a direct impact on their interactions
with students, parents, colleagues, and staff administration. Even more, students’ desire to attend
school and their learning outcomes can also be dependent on the way the teacher behaves and the
class is conducted. teachers who view teaching solely as a job. For example, those who have
significant classroom discipline issues, those who express bias and prejudice, discriminatory, those
who complete administrative duties during class instead of teaching, and those who ignore students'
and parents' complaints. Teachers serve as students' parents by guiding and molding their character
and personality. A good teacher assists a student in understanding himself and becoming a better
person. It has an impact on the nation's growth and well-being. Teachers and schools play an
important role in individual and group behavior. Each individual is trained and guided by school and
teachers, and then these individuals are the members of group behavior or society, which makes
them affected.
