Quarter 2 - Module 14&15: Application of the Social Science Ideas and its Importance in Examining Socio-cultural,
Economic, and Political Conditions
The different ideas and disciplines in social sciences help us in the various aspects of
our lives. So far, we have learned several social science ideas. Psychoanalysis studies our
childhood growth and development. The Rational Choice Theory is about becoming rational
through choosing our preferences. The creation of an institution is formed by the study of
institutionalism. Narrowing and focusing on the things that an individual can do, especially
women, is on Feminism Theory. Acceptance of the different phenomena which an individual or
group experiences are interpreted through the study of Hermeneutical Phenomenology.
Lastly, the interaction between human beings with their nature is explained through the
study of the Human-Environment System.
In this module, you will learn the application of these ideas, which enables us to determine our role and
examine the socio-cultural, economic, and political conditions of our country.
