Change is inevitable because it is the law of nature.

Similarly, society does not remain static. It changes, as the world continues to change, most
especially with the advent of new discoveries in science and technology. It is not new to us
how our ways of life before is no longer the ways of life of today’s generation. People should
be open for changes. It is very important that we understand and accept the challenges these
changes are imposing on us and recognize all the factors that brought these changes. Since
change is already happening at present, let us realize how social change occurs because of the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Tell the changes on some aspects of your life by completing the
table below.

If there is a crime that took place, we call a police, and this scheme is part of government.
If there was a fire that occured, we call the fire department, and that’s also a part of
government.
Military is government as well, let alone our civil liberty and our rights which have influences
on us daily. In school, you were asked to read by heart the Constitution.
When you are apprehended by an authority, you asked your violation and insisted on your
legal rights. Even inside your house, there are still set of rules that are being enforced and

Archaeology is a branch of anthropology that studies the culture of dead people.
Archaeologists rely on the pieces of evidence that they exhumed from discovered old cities
and civilizations. We learn many things about our past based on their findings. Today, people
can store information digitally and put it in formats that can last for a long period. In relation,
let us do an activity by describing yourself to the future generation through clues about you
and the present society where you live. As a student of this generation, you are tasked to
make a historical footprint of your contemporary society so that people of future generations
will understand how people of today lived, and what their personality, values, set of beliefs,
and ideas were. You have to provide them with one written evidence that describes your
society and two objects with explanation that represent your present society.
