3. A Glance at Contemporary social
theories
• Social theories are frameworks of empirical evidence
used to study and interpret social phenomena. A tool
used by social scientists, social theories relate to
historical debates over the most valid and reliable
methodologies (e.g. positivism and antipositivism), as
well as the primacy of either structure or agency.
Certain social theories attempt to remain strictly
scientific, descriptive, and objective. Conflict theories,
by contrast, present ostensibly normative positions,
and often critique the ideological aspects inherent in
conventional, traditional thought.

• Society has clearly been the subject of much
reflection all throughout social theory.

delicate system yet a very efficient bunch of

solid testaments of authority,factuality and reality.

11. Post Modernism
• Postmodernism describes both an era and a broad
movement that developed in the late-20th century
across philosophy, the arts, architecture, and criticism
which marked a departure from modernism. While
encompassing a broad range of ideas and projects,
postmodernism is typically defined by an attitude of
skepticism or distrust toward grand narratives,
ideologies, and various tenets of Enlightenment
rationality, including the existence of objective reality
and absolute truth, as well as notions of rationality,
human nature, and progress

12. RH BILL Reproductive Health bill
• The Responsible Parenthood and
Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (Republic Act
No. 10354), informally known as the
Reproductive Health Law or RH Law, is a law
in the Philippines, which guarantees universal
access to methods on contraception, fertility
control, sexual education, and maternal care.
• While there is general agreement about its
provisions on maternal and child health, there
is great debate on its mandate that the
Philippine government and the private sector
will fund and undertake widespread
distribution of family planning devices such as
condoms, birth control pills, and IUDs, as the
government continues to disseminate
information on their use through all health care
centers.

16. Post- Colonialism
• Post –Colonialism is closer to our hearts and
experiences as a nation simply because we were at
the receiving end of colonialism for almost 400
years under two different colonial masters,the
Spaniards and the Americans respectively. Not to
mention, there was a very brief Japanese interlude
during the war years so we are very familiar with
what colonialism really entails as a concept and as a
real historical experience.
