Amira, why were you absent yesterday? You missed the lesson in UCSP.
Oh come on, don't be sad. Why don't we just talk about it while we are heading to the cafeteria for breaktime?
It's quite interesting topic.
She's absolutely correct. If there is a social change, there will also be a cultural change, or a shift in culture.
So, what was the lesson in USCP yesterday all about?
It's all about the different aspects of society and the significant changes or transformations happening in our present way of living.
I know, right? Our teacher said that as changes in different aspects of society happen, we adapt to this and our lives are affected.
Many factors can influence social change. I just hope it doesn't make things worse for us.
Absolutely! Social change refers to differences or adjustments in social patterns that occur in our society. It might be due to shifts in politics, health, the economy, and weather patterns.
Why do you think so? Could you provide an example so that I fully get it?
Oh yeah, you're right. We follow a protocol against viruses.
Yeah, but I think because of the social change caused by the COVID virus, it worsens our lives and it also creates cultural changes.
Just like how we respectfully greet the elderly by "Pagmamano," we can't do that anymore because of social distancing.
Yeah, right? Although social change can be beneficial, it can also be detrimental to our lives.I hope all of us can adapt to it.
However, looking on the positive side, societal change has helped us in various ways. Similarly to how technological advancement has made our work more accessible and convenient.
Right. Oh! The bell rang. We should hurry up and go back to our classroom.
You're welcome, Amira. I also want to thank you for sharing your knowledge about it. I enjoyed our talk.
Bia! Thank you for sharing what you learned in yesterday's lesson. I can cope and understand what today's lesson will be.
