DISCUSSION
Applied social sciences come with a wide range of practitioner skills in areas such as
advocacy,counseling and case management,and the knowledge and experience to be able to work with
individuals ,groups,and communities to improve their well-being and social functioning.
Social Awareness,Self-Awareness,and Self-knowledge
Social awareness.self-awareness,and self-knowledge are very essential for quality participation and functioning in
society for they incorporate one’s appreciation of both the inner-ecology and the social ecology.
Social awareness is important for managing own response to change,and it forms an essential part of interpersonal
intelligence.For students,this involves recognizing others’ feelings and knowing how and when to assist others.
Self-awareness is an important step toward self-understanding and self-mastery and it forms an essential part of
intrapersonal and emotional intelligence.It includes of what you are good (strengths) as well as of what you are not good at
(weaknesses).As a student,it also involves identifying and describing the factors that influence your emotional responses as
well as develop realistic sense of your personal abilities,qualities,and strengths.
Attitude and Value Change
Tension emanating from technological,social,and economic change bring about attitude and value change.Relying
only on disaster risk reduction and effective management of climate change is not adequate; there is a need to have
attitudinal and value transformation on negative inclinations like the “bahala na” attitude;these cannot lead to
individual,group,or community sustainability.Our attitudes and values must change with time,so as to allow our new
abilities to survive to emerge.
Behavioral Change
Behavior is acquired or developed slowly and once it’s part of your life,you will learn the difficulty of behavioural change.It
is hard to break old habits or adopt new ones.Making a permanent change in behavior is never a simple process,and it
requires a substantial commitment of time,effort,and emotion.
Research has produced theories to explain how change occurs.In the late 1970’s, researchers James Prochaska and
Carlo DiClemente were studying ways to help people quit smoking and ended up developing one of the best known
approaches to change,called Stages of Change model or The Transtheoretical Model(TTM).This model demonstrates that
change is not easy and requires a gradual progression of small steps toward a larger goal.
1
Self-change can be hard and so is changing others.Individual behavior and collective all need to change if the behavior in
question is not positive.
Three most important elements in changing a behavior:
1. Readiness to change
2. Barriers to change
3. Expect relapse
Structural Change
Structural change refers to the radical shift in the way reality is organized and does not necessarily include the
substantive change.Structural change in economic terms,is the transformation of
policy,legal,social,cultural,economic,and/or physical aspects of an environment that impede equity for all.
Synthesis of the Effects of Applied Social Sciences
Social sciences,in their broadness,provide a huge theoretical resource to explain much of the social phenomena that
affect individuals,families,groups,and communities.Applied sciences raise the social science to a practical science to address
personal,family,group,and community problems by helping individuals develop their capacity to fit well in the environment
and by challenging the environment to become better for individuals to flourish.Guidance and counseling,social work,and
communication and journalism provide the mechanism ,tools,methods,and processes to bridge the individual and his/her
community.
