OVERVIEW AND CONCEPT OF SOCIAL WELFARE The government is the father of the land (Parens Patriae) responsible to ensure that the needs of its people is properly responded. This is operationalized through the different social welfare programs that help to combat the poverty condition of the country. Poverty is a manifestation of a much deeper social problems, and we need to understand the cause and its interconnectedness to the different social realities. We simply see poverty for lack of material items which result for some to be deprived of their right to social participation. They are also deprived of the full access to services such as leisure, shelter, health, education among others. With this, most of the groups at risk of being poor belongs to the lower strata of our society. They are vulnerable due to economic, political and cultural inadequacy which make them marginalized in our society. Consequently, human condition are becoming more marginal because we are now living in global community with shared popular culture, politics and economy. MODULE 1 : LESSON 1: DEFINITIONS OF REALITY, TOOLS FOR SOCIAL ANALYSIS (SPECSEG) Reality is the sum or aggregate of all that is real or existent within a system, as opposed to that which is only imaginary. A common colloquial usage would have reality mean "perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes toward reality", as in "My reality is not your reality." Reality can be defined in a way that links it to worldviews or parts of them (conceptual frameworks): Reality is the totality of all things, structures (actual and conceptual), events (past and present) and phenomena, whether observable or not. It is what a world view (whether it be based on individual or shared human experience) ultimately attempts to describe or map. Certain ideas from physics, philosophy, sociology, literary criticism, and other fields shape various theories of reality. One such belief is that there simply and literally is no reality beyond the perceptions or beliefs we each have about reality. Such attitudes are summarized in the popular statement, "Perception is reality" or "Life is how you perceive reality" or "reality is what you can get away with" (Robert Anton Wilson), and they indicate anti-realism – that is, the view that there is no objective reality, whether acknowledged explicitly or not. Many of the concepts of science and philosophy are often defined culturally and socially. This idea was elaborated by Thomas Kuhn in his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962). The Social Construction of Reality, a book about the sociology of knowledge written by Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, was published in 1966. It explained how knowledge is acquired and used for the comprehension of reality. Out of all the realities, the reality of everyday life is the most important one since our consciousness requires us to be completely aware and attentive to the experience of everyday WHAT IS SOCIAL ANALYSIS AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
