ANALYSIS WORKSHEET
Situation Analysis / Needs Assessment Relationship to the Catholic Social
Teaching Principles
Social Issue/s Needs Assessment 1. Rights and Responsibilities
Food, medicine,
1. Unemployment
clothes, job Everyone has a right to live and
2. Drug addiction right to the basic need, and in
3. Poverty exchange for those right, he/she has
4. Early pregnancy the responsibility to fulfill the rights
of other people. And with the help
of this principle, this maintains ones
dignity by having the right to have a
decent work to be proud of and in
order to have a work, the rich will
fulfill its responsibility and become
the instrument of the poor by
creating a business to offer a job for
them
2. Preferential Option for the Poor
and Vulnerable
This principle was missing in the
video and must be emphasize. The
poor must be given more attention
because they need it the most. For
example, the first interviewee
needed income for her family
especially for her children because
they are the most sensitive, most
vulnerable, most sensitive.
Group Insight Gained
Solution Proposal/s
(Explain)
1. QUIT THE LAZINESS AND
EXCUSES
Don’t rely on a single person who
earn his/her money especially in
extended family. There are many
ways to earn money legally and by
obeying the commandments of God.
By ignoring the laziness inside us,
we can enhance our best skills that
we can use to gain money, either we
would be an employee using a skill
or we may come up with a business.
There are lots of ways to earn
decent money and with that amount,
people should also learn to budget
and weigh the income and expenses.
2. HELP TO SOLVE THE
PROBLEM, DO NOT SOLVE
THE PROBLEM FOR THEM
It may be harsh but we have to face
it. We can offer to help solve their
problem but they must know how to
utilize the help we gave to them.
We must help them to become
responsible individual so that they
won’t always be dependent on you.

There is no amount of help a person can have in order to get out of poverty. You can give a person the help you could offer and it is up
to them whether to have it permanently and make more from it with hard work and decisions that could help them or let it be gone
because of wrong decisions that are just for short term.

“Do not abandon in any way what you have begun in me, O God,
but make perfect my imperfections… for my heart is restless until it rests in YOU.”
St. Augustine of Hippo
