ACTIVATING PRIOR
KNOWLEDGE
Discussion of the Lesson
The social, moral and economic aspects of
education are essential if we are to
prepare ourselves to live full and active lives as
part of our local, and global
community; and to help us define who we are,
our part in the world and our
motivations and our perspective on life. Let us
define the following aspects.
A social issue is a problem that
influences many citizens within a
society. Poverty,
unemployment, unequal
opportunity, racism and
malnutrition are examples of
social problems.
Moral issues are those actions
which have the potential to help
or harm others or ourselves.
Notice that if we have an issue of
moral concern, it might involve
something good or evil.
Economic issues facing the world
economy, as well as regions and countries,
include prospects for growth, inflation,
energy, and the environment, inequality,
labor issues, emerging markets and the
impact of new technologies.
1. North Koreans are desperately seeking and dying for
freedom at this moment.
2. I saw my mother raped. The rapist was a Chinese broker.
3. 70% of North Korean women teenage girls are being
victimized, sometimes sold
for as little as $200.
4. There is only one channel on TV, there is no internet, we
aren’t free to sing, say,
wear, or think what we want.
5. No books, no songs, no press, no movies about love
stories. There is no Romeo and
Juliet, every story was a propaganda to promote the Kim
dictators.
 Read and MEMORIZE an excerpt
from President Duterte’s SONA
 State of the Nation Address (SONA)
July 27, 2020

My countrymen, it is sad that while government

focuses its attention and resources to battle the
coronavirus, there are those who take advantage of a pre-
occupied government…
The dealers and purveyors of illegal drugs, hiding in
the shadow of COVID-19, have stepped up their activities.
The amount of shabu valued at
millions of pesos seized during police operations speak
volumes of the enormity and weight of the problem that
we bear.
The corrupt, the grafters and the influence
peddlers also take advantage of the fear and
confusion that the coronavirus generates. The
financial and material assistance of the
government to the unemployed, the sick and the
destitute running into billions of pesos, are not
spared from corruption and ineptitude. Even
the donations from well-meaning private
persons are skimmed before reaching their
intended beneficiaries. It is like snatching food
from the mouths of babies.
The profiteers, over-pricers and
corrupt felons must be laughing
while
they stash their dirty monies.
But not for long. They cannot
outrun the long arm
of the law…
… If we allow greed, self-
interest and ambition to rule
us, then as stated by
one prominent physician, we
will “be left with nothing better
than the lesser evil instead of
the greater good.”…
…The efforts and resources
which we poured out produced
the momentum
needed to bring our country
closer to our goals. Suffice it to
state, we made
significant strides over time.
