concepts and
practicing new skills What is literature in a VUCA world?
#2 Literature indeed reflects the society, its good values, and its ills. In its
corrective function, literature mirrors the ills of the society with a view of
realizing its mistakes and making amendments. It also projects the virtues
or good values in the society for people to emulate (Benjamin, 2016).

It is said that literature serves as a pool of values. From each literary

work, readers can learn various lessons which may help them in
redirecting their lives. Through the years, these positive values remain
unchanged in this changing world.

Unchanging Values in the VUCA World

Values are passed from culture to culture, from generation to generation.

However, in this modern time, it is claimed by scientists that change in
the society has been happening at a pace they have never seen before.
Everything can change in just a snap. They refer to it as the VUCA
world.

History of VUCA

First used in 1987, VUCA is an acronym based on the leadership theories

of Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus, that stands for volatility, uncertainty,
complexity, and ambiguity.
 In a VUCA world, the most important thing is to anticipate the future and
strengthen cooperation to come up with better solutions to problems and
challenges.
What is VUCA?

Volatility
 the speed of change in an industry, market, or the world in general
 the more volatile the world is, the more and faster things change
Uncertainty
 the extent to which we can confidently predict the future
 uncertain environments are those that don’t allow any prediction.
 The more uncertain the world is, the harder it is to predict.

Complexity
 The number of factors that we need to take into account
 The more factors, the greater their variety and the more they are
interconnected, the more complex an environment is.
 The more complex the world is, the harder it is to analyze.

Ambiguity

 Lack of clarity about how to interpret something

 A situation is ambiguous when information is incomplete,
contradicting, or too inaccurate to draw clear conclusions
 The more ambiguous the world is, the harder it is to interpret.

The work of Dr. Warner Burke and his research colleagues at Columbia
University provides us with scientific data that learning agility (ability to
be flexible and be open to change and thrive on new experiences) is made
up of nine…

9 Dimensions of Behavior Patterns

1. Flexibility – willingness to try new things

2. Speed – rapidly grasping new ideas
3. Experimenting – testing out new ideas
4. Performance Risk-Taking – taking on challenges
5. Interpersonal Risk-Taking – asking others for help
6. Collaborating – leveraging the skills of others
7. Information Gathering – increasing your knowledge
8. Feedback Seeking – asking for feedback
9. Reflecting – taking time to reflect on your effectiveness

Assessment 3) POEM(BEOWULF)
G. Finding practical
applications of Beowulf is an Old English epic poem consisting of 3182 alliterative long

abstractions about referred to by scholars as the “Beowulf poet.”
the lesson

 The students will be grouped into 5 and collaborate to form

 puzzles of important events which summarize the story of
Beowulf.
 Once the puzzle is formed, the students will create the caption that
describes the picture.
 After solving the puzzle, the students will watch a video of the
epic summary.
 After watching the summary of the epic, the students will answer
the guide questions.

1. Beowulf’s and his men’s arrival in the Daneland

2. Beowulf fought and defeated Grendel

3. Grendel’s mother revenge

4. Beowulf returns home and become King of the Geats

Beowulf plot summary

Guide Questions:
1. What does Beowulf do when he hears of Hrothgar’s problems
with Grendel? What was his main reason of doing such? If you re
Beowulf, would you do the same? Why?
2. How can you describe Grendel’s mother? If you will give a
message for her, what is it?
3. Based on Beowulf’s achievements I the epic, can you consider
him a hero?
4. In our recent situation, whom can you consider as the modern
BEOWULF?
5. What unchanging values are shown by characters in the epic that
help them cope?
6. Do you think these values are still relevant in facing the modern
VUCA environment? How?

Generalization:
Literature provides us with a range of exposure and experiences that may
open doors into understanding these unchanging values amid the fast-
paced VUCA world.
