Sociological Perspective

To be able to understand sociology more, we must know its sociological perspective. Sociological perspective is a form of interaction where an individual becomes involved in group, then that group become involved in different interactive groups, lastly that interactive group becomes involved in society.


Sociological perspective has sub classes. To name some there are: (1) Functionalist perspective, it is the way that the parts of a society are structured to maintain its stability. (2) Conflict perspective, it is identifying the conflict that is unfolding and if that is leading to equality/solution or if they will just use it. (3) Lastly is the Interactionist perspective, it is the understanding of the society where society is always in a process of being created and this occurs through communication and negotiation.


Understanding these perspectives creates a strong foundation for social interaction because by studying it, we’ll know that different people think in different angles in the way they interact with society. With the help of these perspectives we create a social change, make society more stable and learn to deal properly with social structure.

Definition of research

Research is defined as “human activity based on intellectual use in the study or any topic or problem. The primary aim for a research is discovering, interpreting, and the developing of and means for the increase of human knowledge on selection of scientific matters of our world and universe”, as defined by Trochim in the book, A Structure of Research, 2006.

The aim of the research process if to produce new knowledge, which is done by the following methods: Firstly exploratory research, which structures and identifies new problems, secondly constructive research, which develops solutions to a problem, and thirdly empirical research, which tests the feasibility of a solution using empirical evidence.

Research can use the scientific method which means that it uses exact and systematic process. Scientific research uses on the use of the scientific method. This research gives scientific information for the explanation of the things around it. It makes things possible. Scientific research can be subdivided into different types according to their use. Historical research is within the historical method. The historical method is made up of the ways and means by which researchers use historical sources and other evidence to research and them to write history. These are guides used by researchers in their work, like external criticism, internal criticism, and conclusion.

Origin of the Filipino Language-Lady

Filipino is an Austronesian language that is the standardized version of Tagalog and it is the national and an official language of the Philippines as designated in the 1987 Philippine Constitution.

Filipino is the official verbal communication in the Philippines however; there are still other sub groups which are involved in it. First is the Northern Philippine language such as Ilokano, Kapampangan, Pangasinan, and Sambal languages which are concentrated in northern and central Luzon. Second is Meso Philippine language which is the group with the most speakers and is the most geographically widespread, covering Central Luzon, the Visayas and many parts of Mindanao. The third one is the Southern Philippine language such as Maranao, Maguindanao, Manobo languages, and Subanun languages are concentrated in Mindanao but more than 80% use Visayan or cebuano language. The first three are related geographically: The languages they contain may be not related to each other than they are to languages in further groups. Meanwhile, the smaller, southern groups are more distinct. The fourth one is Southern Mindanao language, which is composed with Tboli and Blaan and these are spoken in southern Mindanao. The fifth one is Sama-Bajaw language, mainly centered in the Sulu Archipelago as well as parts of Borneo. One language, Abaknon, is spoken on Capul Island near Samar, which is far from other Sama languages. The last one is Sulawesi language which has only two representatives in the Philippines, the Sangil and the Sangir languages. The last three groups are thought to be more distantly related to the earlier three.

The Institute of National Language (INL) group was to make a descriptive and comparative survey of one of the major dialects namely, Tagalog, Kapampangan, Waray, Ilokano, Bikolano, Hiligaynon and Pangasinan. From these, one would be chosen, to become the basis of the national language. After ten months of study, the members decided to propose Tagalog as the basis of the national language. However, many opposed the decision especially the non-Tagalog speakers. The Cebuanos, under the leadership of Paulino Gullas, came to recommend Cebuano as substitute to Tagalog. The opposition against Tagalog arose during the 1960's when INL refused the orthography of Geruncio Lacuesta, a lawyer and editor of a magazine called KATAS. He questioned the 20-letter alphabet, the orthography and the vocabulary. He served as the spokesman of the non-Tagalog’s who felt inferior because of Tagalog’s dominance. On December 23, 1971, the committee on National Language adopted the proposal of the University of the Philippines that proposed the adoption and development of a national lingua franca used all over the country as the National Language. The non-Tagalog delegates finally adopted this proposal. It was in the 1987 Constitution when the search for a National Language made the following declaration in A1ticle XIV, Section 6: "The National language of the Philippines is Filipino."

Definition of Sociology

Sociology is the study of human society which investigates the structures and cultures of different societies throughout the world and throughout history. The term sociology was derived from the Latin word, “socius”, which means “companion” and the suffix, “-ology”, which means “the study of”. It ranges from the analysis of brief contacts between anonymous individuals on the street to the study of global social interaction.

Sociology asks about the sources and consequences of change in social arrangements and institutions, and about the stratifications and difficulties of planning, accomplishing and adapting to such change. It enables us to understand the structure and dynamics of society, and their intricate connections to patterns of human behavior and individual life changes. It examines the ways in which the forms of social structure and various social institutions affect human attitudes, actions and opportunities.

Sociology has two major classifications namely, microsociology and macrosociology. Microsociology is one of the main branches of which concerns itself with the nature of everyday human social interactions on a small scale. It is based on the philosophy of phenomenology and includes symbolic interactions and ethnomethodology. It focuses more on individual interaction and thinking within groups, rather than just large social group/societal behavior. On the other hand, macrosociology refers to the study of large-scale social phenomena. This covers a very broad range of topics that includes groups and collectivities of varying sizes, the major organizations and institutions of one or more societies, cross-sectional or historical studies of a single society, and both comparative and historical analyses of multiple societies. At the grandest level it may cover all human society and history.

Ballroom Dancing

Ballroom dancing refers collectively to a set of partner dances, which originated in Germany and are now enjoyed both socially and competitively around the globe. It also refers to any form of formal social dancing used as recreation. Its performance and entertainment aspects are also widely enjoyed on stage, in film, and on television.

Ballroom Dancing consists of several different partner dances and is divided into two categories. The first category is called the standard group; partners dance in a closed position, where both body-contact and co-ordination of movement are to be maintained. This includes the foxtrot, waltz, tango, quickstep and Viennese waltz. The second category is called the Latin group; These are generally faster-paced, more sensual, and have more rhythmic expression. Time is 4/4 straight rhythm or related. Couples in the basic position stand face-to-face. Music may be Latin American or contemporary popular music. This includes the rumba, cha cha, mambo, samba, and various types of swing.

To get a good dance position, the man should place his right hand against the lower part of the woman's left shoulder blade. The man should put some pressure with his right hand against her shoulder blade and the woman should rest her shoulder blade into the man's hand. This will create a good connection. The lady should rest her left arm on the man's right arm with her left hand on the man's right upper arm. The lady's left arm and the man's right arm should remain connected and in contact throughout the dance. The palm of the man's left hand and the palm of the woman's right hand will connect with slight pressure towards each other and be held approximately at eye level. The woman will stand slightly to the man's right side and should remain there throughout the dance. The man can help this by making sure his right hand, even though its on the lady's back, stays directly in front of the right side of his chest.Shekainah Jean Sabańa-BS IE

Energy Crisis - Kara Kajiro (FINAL)

Energy provides the necessary power to do work. We obtain energy by eating food. We use energy to carry and push things from one place to another. We use energy to perform all daily activities. We use energy to maintain our biological function inside our body. Without any energy in our body, we would be literally dead. Energy stores inside our body allow us to carry out work.

Energies are of many forms. It can be in us and in our surroundings. Like the human body, if there is no energy present inside it we literally die, like our major problem today about energy crisis. Energy crisis is any price increase in the supply of energy resources in the economy. An energy crisis may be referred to as an oil crisis, petroleum crisis, energy shortage, electricity shortage or electricity crisis. Here are some of the problems why this kind of crisis occurs in our world today:

§ Too much consumption of the different kinds of energy resources.

§ Wars against another country.

We have different kinds of energy resources and one of these is petroleum, coal and oil. Petroleum is produced in oil refineries were crude oil is processed and refined and produces gasoline. Coal is a fossil fuel found formed by our ecosystem where plant remains were preserved by water and mud from oxidization and biodegradation, thus sequestering atmospheric carbon. Oil burns in air and generates heat, which can be used directly, or converted into other forms of fuels by various means. These energy resources are the most important of all because they produce the most consumed energy worldwide with oil which is the highest that is consumed worldwide with over 37% and next is coal with 25% and lastly gas with 23%, which is a close percentage with coal. These energy resources are readily available for us to use but if lost it is hard to produce and find another resource of it.

One example of these is the Argentina energy crisis in 2004 where the country of Argentina experienced a natural gas shortage. According to estimates, 50% of the electricity generated in Argentina depends on gas-powered plants. The national energy matrix has no emergency reserves and by 2004 it was functioning at the top of its capacity. The people, not only in Argentina, is also experiencing these kind of problem because they are over consuming there energy resources and not thinking of what will happen to the future, like what happen in the country of Argentina.

Wars are the causes of energy crisis most of the time. One of these examples of war is the 1979 oil crisis when the members of Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC, consisting of the Arab members of OPEC plus Egypt and Syria) announced, as a result of the ongoing Yom Kippur War, that they would no longer ship oil to nations that had supported Israel in its conflict with Syria, Egypt, and Iraq (the United States, its allies in Western Europe, and Japan). This is a good example of war causing a major oil crisis. When people are involved into a war especially if there is a alliance with one of the countries, there will be a 99% chance that you will be one of the countries that will be affected by it.

This crisis is a major problem worldwide. The fundamental energy crisis isn't the cutting of redwood forests, the dumping of toxic waste, and the burning up of fossil fuels. The global crisis isn't the ozone hole, the extinction of hundreds more species each year, the melting of glaciers and the threat of another world war. The real crisis is the continuous laziness and weakness in human brains. Humans just haven’t yet learned to develop and master their own brain activity, because no one ever taught them how.

When an energy market fails the result is an energy shortage. The macroeconomic implications of a supply shock-induced energy crisis are large, because energy is the resource used to exploit all other resources. That is the economic effect of energy crisis. When this happens, the society is now involved in the problem. Electric consumers may experience internationally-engineered rolling blackouts which are released during periods of insufficient supply or unexpected power outages, regardless of the cause.
