Differentiate Consensus Theory from Conflict Theory

Before we differentiate Consensus Theory from Conflict Theory let us


define first, their meaning or definition. First, we have Consensus Theory.
Consensus is a general or widespread agreement among all members of a
particular society. Consensus Theory emphasizes on social order, stability and
social regulation. Furthermore, Consensus Theory often involves debate,
voting, group think, group goals meaning, working together for common
purpose. Second, we the Conflict Theory. Conflict is a disagreement or clash
between opposing ideas, principles or people which may be covert or overt.
Conflict theory focuses on the struggle of social classes to maintain dominance
and power in social systems. Furthermore, Conflict theory says that the
influential people have the rules and regulations turned in their way and they
manage things according to their choices and hence, control everyone under
them. On the other hand, Consensus theory says that the people who seem
powerful become answerable to the public as they elect and select them for
their rights.

After I examined the two theory I can say the difference between
them, is that Conflict Theory gets defined as the philosophy put forward by
Karl Marx that states that the society always stays in the situation of a conflict
because of the decreasing resources and competition. Consensus Theory gets
defined as the philosophy put forward that states that the political system
within a society acts as the best system, which gives fair opportunities to
individuals. Both the theories believe that the social change beings at a slow
pace and then brings the alterations even slower.

2. Explain the Four Pillars of Education

1. LEARNING TO KNOW:

To provide the cognitive tools required to better comprehend the


world and its complexities, and to provide an appropriate and adequate
foundation for future learning. Learning to know implies learning how to learn
by developing one's concentration, memory skills and ability to think.

Every individual has hidden talents such as

1. Memory
2. Reasoning
3. Imagination
4. Physical ability
5. Aesthetic sense
6. Aptitude to communicate

From infancy, young people must learn how to concentrate on objects and
on other people. This process of improving concentration skills can take
different forms and can be aided by the many different learning opportunities
that arise in the course of people's lives (games, work experience programmed,
travel, practical science activities, etc.) The development of memory skills is an
excellent tool for countering the overpowering stream of instant information
put out by the media. The specifically human ability of associative
memorization is not something that can be reduced to an automatic process it
has to be carefully cultivated. Thinking is something children learn first from
their parents and then from their teachers. The process should encompass
both practical problem-solving and abstract thought.

As a result, the learner is transformed- more Enlightened, more Empowered,


more Enriched.

2. LEARNING TO DO:

To provide the skills that would enable individuals to effectively


participate in the global economy and society.

Learning must transform certified skills into personal competence. It is


assessed by looking at a mix of skills and talents, social behavior, personal
initiative and a willingness to work. These are often referred to as interpersonal
skills or peoples skills by employers.

Personal Competence includes life skills like:

1. Social behavior
2. Personal initiatives
3. Willingness to take risk
4. Communication skills
5. Problem solving skills
5. Adaptability
6. Social responsibility
7. Leadership skills
To summarize, learning to do involves putting knowledge and learning
into practice innovatively through
Skill Development
Practical know-how
Development of competence
Life skills personal qualities
Aptitudes;
attitudes

3. LEARNING TO LIVE TOGETHER:

To expose individuals to the values implicit within human rights,


democratic principles, intercultural understanding and respect and peace at
all levels of society and human relationships to enable individuals and
societies to live in peace and harmony.
Education should help in inculcating a spirit of empathy in
students so that it can have a positive effect on their social behavior
throughout their lives. Understanding each other, resolving conflicts
through dialogue and discussion should be the essential tools of present
day education. People of the world should accept their differences but start
working on the basis of their commonalties for the survival of humankind.

Values to be developed amongst students


a. Non- Violence
b. Cooperation
c. Selfless attitude
d. Developing values
e. Accepting human diversity
f. Instill an awareness of the similarities and interdependence of all people

4. LEARNING TO BE:
To provide self-analytical and social skills to enable individuals to
develop to their fullest potential psycho-socially, affectively as well as
physically, for an all-round complete person.
The aim of development is the complete fulfillment of man and his
development in a holistic way as an individual, member of a family and
community and as a responsible citizen.
Person's complete development mind and body, intelligence,
sensitivity, aesthetic appreciation and spirituality. All people should receive
in their childhood and youth an education that equips them to develop their
own independent, critical way of thinking and judgement so that they can
make up their own minds on the best courses of action in the different
circumstances in their lives.
Individual Family member, Community member, Citizen, Professional,
Innovator, Creative dreamer
Educational Experiences: Aesthetic, Social, Moral, Spiritual, Logic and
Reasoning

3. Explain the relationship between language and culture with example.

Language and culture are intertwined like the two-sides of the


same sheet of paper. They breathe, blossom, shrivel up and die due to many
reasons. Both of them are sensitive and adapt to prevailing circumstances.
Language gives full expression to peoples values and norms, and since
values and norms are dynamic by nature, language has to be in tandem
with cultural transformations. Technological, political, economic and social
innovations require language to enrich its lexicon to capture the new
realities. Indeed, our minds create mental representations of values thanks
to language. The collapse of a value system may sound the death knell to
the language in question. The death of a culture will almost certainly be
followed by the demise of the language associated with that culture.
Language and culture are intricately related and dependent on each other.
Language is formed by culture, while culture is influenced and impacted by
language. Language is the medium of culture. Furthermore, not only is
language an expression and a display of heritage and history, it is also the
component of culture that makes it unique, and that creates a difference
from one to another. Culture and language shape, ones identity and
personality. This the importance of culture and language to ones individual
identity.

4. Explain the functions of the Social Institutions: Family, Education, Religion,


Economic Institutions, Government and how they may help the Filipino
people uplift the issue on poverty.
FAMILY:

A family is the first social community in the life of any person or


group of persons. It is from this that an individual attach and understands
the values of culture, assimilates the first social roles and acquires the
experience of social behavior. In the family, this person takes their first
steps, experiences the first joys and sorrows, and then, leaves the family
and faces a big world. Then the person returns when he feels uncomfortable
out there.
The family is not just a simple set of individuals engaging in their
activities. Its a complex social formation. Each member of the family is both
a unique individuality and an integral part of a whole family group. The
emotional function of the family is realized in satisfying its members' needs
for sympathy, respect, recognition, emotional support, psychological
protection.
One of the best ways to avoid being poor as an adult is to obtain a
good education. People who have higher levels of academic achievement and
more years of schooling earn more than those with lower levels of human
capital. This is not surprising, since economists believe that schooling
makes people more productive and that wages are related to productivity.
Educational function in the course of fulfilling the educational function, the
family, first of all, ensures the primary socialization of a child. In addition, it
provides the development of his or her mental (intellectual) traits and
personal qualities until they attain social maturity.
One of the family education features is the emotional form of the
relationship between parents and children and love. It should be born in
mind that family has a systematic educational impact on each of its
members throughout their life. It's not just the parents that influence
children but also the children's action reflect on the parents and other adult
members of the family, encouraging them to self-improvement.

RELIGION
Religion is a social institution that answers questions and explains the
seemingly inexplicable. Religion provides explanations for why things happen
and demystifies the ideas of birth and death. Religions based on the belief in a
single deity are monotheistic. Those that encompass many deities are
polytheistic. When families attend religious services, or put up decorations in
honor of a holiday, they are teaching their children about their religion and
how to observe it. By engaging in these activities and traditions, children are
united with others of the same religion around the world. In this way, families
teach their own culture as well as the culture of the society at large.

Now, what will fear in God cause us? Will it make us slaves and take
away our freedom? The answer is that it will make us slaves and free at the
same time. The fear of the Lord will make us slaves of diligence, wisdom,
righteousness, kindness, self-control, patience and love. However, it will also
make us free from indolence, foolishness, deceit, selfishness, lack of self-
control, impatience and hatred. In other words, it will cause us to make God
our Master, while rejecting the evil. If all the Filipinos have fear in God, they
will obey Gods commands. God commanded us to be patient, honest, diligent,
humble, knowledgeable, wise and understanding all of these will overcome our
poverty and will give us riches in life.

If all our workers are diligent, if all our political leaders are honest, if all
the voters are wise, if all the business owners are not greedy, and if all the
spiritual leaders are selfless who teach the right religion, then we might be
living in a rich country. All of these could happen if we truly have fear in God,
and if we really God love by following His commandments.

EDUCATION
Every society has to prepare its young people for a place in adult life
and teach them societal values through a process called education. Education
is an important agent of socialization and encourages social integration,
especially in countries with diverse populations.
Education is essential for every society and individual. It is life itself
but not a preparation for life. Man has various qualities. These qualities of the
individual should be developed for the improvement of the country. So,
education plays a complementary role for overall individual, social and national
development. It enables an individual to realize his highest self and goal.
To help the Filipino people uplift the issue on poverty, education
increases the innovative capacity of an economy and facilitates the diffusion,
adoption, and adaptation of new ideas. More specifically, education increases
the amount of human capital available, thereby increasing productivity and
ultimately output. Education is especially important in a rapidly evolving
economic environment where a rapid rate of job destruction and creation might
otherwise lead to a gap between the skills demanded in the labor market and
the skills of job-seekers.

ECONOMIC INSTITUTIONS
The economy is the institution that provides for the production and
distribution of goods and services, which people in every society need.
Sometimes they can provide these things for themselves, and sometimes they
rely on others to provide them. When people rely on others for goods or
services, they must have something to exchange, such as currency (in
industrialized societies) or other goods or services (in non-industrialized
societies). The customs surrounding exchange and distribution of good and
services shape societies in fundamental ways. Economic growth is the most
powerful instrument for reducing poverty and improving the quality of life in
developing countries. Growth can generate virtuous circles of prosperity and
opportunity. Strong growth and employment opportunities improve incentives
for parents to invest in their childrens education by sending them to school.
This may lead to the emergence of a strong and growing group of
entrepreneurs, which should generate pressure for improved governance.
Strong economic growth therefore advances human development, which, in
turn, promotes economic growth. But under different conditions, similar rates
of growth can have very different effects on poverty, the employment prospects
of the poor and broader indicators of human development. The extent to which
growth reduces poverty depends on the degree to which the poor participate in
the growth process and share in its proceeds. Thus, both the pace and pattern
of growth matter for reducing poverty.
GOVERNMENT
A government is an institution entrusted with making and enforcing
the rules of a society as well as with regulating relations with other societies. In
order to be considered a government, a ruling body must be recognized as such
by the people it purports to govern. A person or group that considers itself the
leading body of a society has no power if the members of the society do not
recognize the person or group as such.
Social Institution: Government provides
protect rights
ensure safety
keep peace
providing services
maintaining situations

Without government life would be chaos and there would be no order to


the way of life. So, the government provides the proper way to lead citizens and
provide for our needs.
Empowering people by giving them a good education that will prepare
them to have a carrier and to hold a job that will make them more confident,
give them the chance to learn from others, allow them to earn a good living to
help their children to live a better life. By this, it may help the Filipino people
uplift the issue on poverty

5. Explain the impact of Globalization to the present status of Philippine


Education.

Learning English as I think is a good factor for us Filipinos. Since it


is the international language it gives as an advantage from other Asian
countries. Globalization as I think has played as an effective contributor to
development. Especially to those developed states. But mind you of the case
of the third world countries like Philippines. Globalization helps in the
development of the country but most it has a great contribution to the
underdevelopment of the Philippines.

Globalization has great impact on the political, economic, cultural,


and environmental aspect of the country. Political, since there is the
interaction of the Philippines with other developed states like United States,
there is also the weakening of the Philippine political system because U.S
tend to intervene the decisions of the Philippine government, there is the
growth and expansion of international non-governmental ion that also tend
to intervene the political system, there is also the growth of local regional and
decentralized forms of government because other ethnic groupings are trying
to preserve their identity from what they see as globalizing and threatening
world. Also one observable impact of globalization is on the economic aspect,
for those developed countries there is the fast approach of the economic
growth of their country but not in the case of the third world countries like
the Philippines, yes, there is the increase, but not much as the continuous
increase of the debt of the Philippines , and the rise of poverty rate, and
unemployment rate, there is the dumping of surplus of the developed nations
to the Philippines, this cause the death or turn down of local industries, in
the cultural aspect, there is the loss of the identity of the Filipinos because
the Filipino nationalism is weak and since Philippines is open with other
countries in term of economy and culture, Filipinos tend to adopt other
countries culture.
