D. Abstraction

Good to know that you are all aware of some dramatic

changes in our society most especially how Technology
transformed the lives of many of us. Remember,
technology is just one of the many drive factors of social
change. Now, let us enlighten ourselves about what is
Social Change, its connection to Culture and how do we
deal with it.

(the teacher will present the PPT

presentation:Understanding Socio-Cultural Change
and Education for Sustainable Development)

First, these are social issues that we need to understand Possible answers
because these are also important products of socio-  One example of social stratification is
cultural change: marginalizing indigenous groups
 Social Structure  We can see social inequality in local farmers
 Social Mobility having no benefits in tilling lands while land
 Social Stratification owners are becoming wealthier.
 Social Inequality

Now, I want you to prove that these social issues are

really happening these days. Can you cite some
examples?

It is really important for us to educate ourselves with

regard of these issues in our society. Of course, everyone
must be equipped of knowledge about rights and also
responsibilities to authority and law.

Many are still confused of these two terms: Social

change and cultural Change.
Is Social Change and Cultural Change the same? Let’s
see.

Social change refers to the alteration of social structure

of a group or society.
Cultural change refers to changes made in cultural
elements in both material and non-material.
(The teacher will expand the differences of Social
Change and Cultural Change)

Okay class, let’s try this short quiz:

Determine the given examples whether it is a social or Students will try to determine the given examples

 A Filipina wearing Gucci bag
 Kalinga province expected to be industrialized
by 2040

Televisions

Now that it is clear to us the difference between social

change and cultural change, let us find out why these
changes occurs. What drives them?
History gave us lens about the evolution of societies
since the early centuries and we learned some of the
important factors why these societies became superior
and why the others became inferior and disappeared. We
can directly say it is all because of the Causes of Social
Change

The teacher shall discuss the causes of Social Change

highlights of culture preservation and why it is

Cultural preservation is also anchored in the United

Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
As youth, as millennials, we are given responsibility to
be catalyst of good will as the government and the world
is doing its best for us to participate and learn about
sustainable development.

What is Sustainable Development?

-according to World Commission on Environment and
Development, it is an economic development that would
meet the needs of the present without compromising the
future generation to meet their own needs.

Let’s see some of the features of Sustainable

Development:
 Education for Sustainable Development
 Core Characteristics of SD
 17 Goals of Sustainable Development

Socio-cultural change really affects us all and the

society we are living. Through our discussion, we are
able to educate ourselves on the roots of this social
issue. Furthermore, we are also equipped with
information on Sustainable Development,
considering it as a responsibility in protecting the
environment and human diversity as we adapt to
these challenges of this modern world.
