It then discusses influential thinkers and ideas in these disciplines, and relates these ideas to the Philippine setting and current global trends.

In particular, it attempts to explain how the important features of our country’s political structures/institutions, processes, and relationships developed across time.

DISCIPLINE AND IDEAS IN THE APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES This course introduces some Applied Social Sciences, namely, Counseling, Social Work, and Communication, which draw their foundation from the theories and principles of Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, and other Social Sciences. The course highlights the seamless interconnectivity of the different applied social science disciplines while focusing on the processes and applications of these applied disciplines in critical development areas. At the end of the course, students shall demonstrate competencies in interacting and relating with other individuals, groups, and communities; apply social sciences principles, practices, and tools in addressing the development areas identified by the class; and analyze how processes in these applied disciplines work in specific life situations. INTRODUCTION TO WORLD REGIONS AND BELIEF SYSTEMS The course explores the main tenets and practices of major world religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Theravada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism and Shintoism.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, SOLIDARITY, AND CITIZENSHIP This course focuses on the application of ideas and methods of the social sciences to understand, investigate, and examine challenges of contemporary community life. It focuses on community-action initiatives such as community engagement, solidarity, and citizenship as guided by the core values of human rights, social justice, empowerment and advocacy, gender equality, and participatory development. It aims at enhancing students’ sense of shared identity and willingness to contribute to the pursuit of the common good of the community. It enables students to integrate applied social sciences into community-action initiatives. CREATIVE NONFICTION Focusing on formal elements and writing techniques, including autobiography and blogging, among others, the subject introduces the students to the reading and writing of Creative Nonfiction as a literary form. The subject develops in students’ skills in reading, and thinking critically and creatively, that will help them to be imaginative readers and writers. TRENDS, NETWORK, AND CRITICAL THINKING IN THE 21ST CENTURY The course provides opportunities for students to discover patterns and extract meanings from emerging trends. It aids in developing their critical and creative thinking skills-- essential tools for decision making and understanding “ethics of care”. Global trends in the 21st century are examined and are either accepted or rejected on a sound set of criteria. Students will be asked to create and analyze scenarios that will challenge them to (1) formulate their stances on issues or concerns; (2) propose interventions and; (3) formulate alternative futures. The students will realize the interconnections between their neural connections and social realities.
