Anthropology is the study of humans, their cultures, and societies, both past and present. It uses social and natural sciences to explain human diversity, cultures, worldviews, and the deeper meaning of human differences. Anthropologists immerse themselves in other cultures through participant observation and study languages, traditions, norms, and ethnicities to understand humanity from a holistic perspective.
This document discusses methods for conducting social research. It explains that social scientists use both quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative methods are used to study large populations and establish relationships between variables, but cannot capture the richness of individual experiences. Qualitative methods focus on understanding meanings and interpretations through techniques like interviews and observation. The document also notes that social research aims to move beyond common sense understandings and challenge prejudices by taking a scientific approach.
R.A 8423 or the Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act of 1997 established the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Healthcare (PITAHC) as the governing body for traditional and alternative medicines like naturopathy, herbal medicine, and alternative medicine. The act approves 10 herbal plants that have been proven by the Department of Health to have medicinal value for treating fungal infections, diabetes, high blood pressure, wounds, tooth decay, and gum infections.
Sociology is the study of human relationships within society, including how people interact and influence one another. It examines social structures, organizations, and institutions. Sociologists use both qualitative and quantitative research methods like case studies and surveys to understand social phenomena and explain human behavior and the effects of society. The main focuses of sociology include the study of rural and urban communities, social organizations, human ecology, social change, religion, and demographics. An example of a sociological study would be analyzing the factors influencing poverty levels in a given area, such as education or racial disparities. Sociology also examines how social roles change over time, such as shifting gender norms influencing women's roles in societies.
This document outlines learning objectives for a section on disaster risk reduction. By the end of the section, students should be able to: discuss key DRR concepts and elements, recognize the importance of DRR, discuss community-based practices for specific hazards, develop a community preparedness plan, and prepare survival kits and materials for public advocacy. It defines a disaster as an event exceeding a community's response capacity, bringing human, physical, social and environmental losses. Disasters are classified as natural or human-induced, with human-induced potentially being as catastrophic as natural disasters.
There are several types of natural disasters including hydrometeorological, geological, and biological disasters. Hydrometeorological disasters are caused by natural processes involving water, atmosphere or oceans such as typhoons, floods, and drought. Geological disasters are caused by geological processes like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Biological disasters are caused by the spread of organisms harming people and the environment, such as dengue fever spread by mosquitoes or algal blooms causing red tide that can contaminate seafood and kill aquatic life. Human activities like pollution can also contribute to some biological disasters like algal blooms.
The document provides information about first aid principles and procedures. It discusses the importance of first aid in emergency situations at home and school. It outlines how to assess situations, ensure safety, provide care, and call for more advanced medical help. Key aspects of first aid covered include staying calm, comforting the victim, and not moving them unless necessary. The class activities focus on practicing first aid techniques and building awareness of how to respond appropriately in different emergency scenarios.
There are several types of natural disasters that can occur, including hydrometeorological, geological, and biological disasters. Hydrometeorological disasters are caused by natural hydrological and atmospheric processes like typhoons, floods, and droughts. Geological disasters are caused by geological processes such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Biological disasters are caused by the spread of organisms that harm people or the environment, such as dengue fever, locust infestations, and red tides caused by algal blooms. Astronomical disasters are caused by events in outer space, such as the asteroid impact that contributed to the extinction of dinosaurs.
Communicable diseases are transmitted between hosts through pathogens like viruses and bacteria. The key stages of infection are incubation, prodromal, illness, and convalescence. Diseases spread through the chain of infection via reservoirs, portals of entry/exit, and susceptible hosts. Prevention methods target the modes of transmission like contact, food/water, vectors, and droplets. Government programs and agencies work to prevent disease through vaccination, surveillance, treatment and education.
The document discusses the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which are eight targets agreed upon by 191 UN member states to achieve by 2015. The goals aim to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, achieve universal primary education, promote gender equality, reduce child mortality, improve maternal health, combat HIV/AIDS and other diseases, ensure environmental sustainability, and develop a global partnership for development. Achieving the MDGs requires addressing issues like poverty, disease, hunger, gender discrimination, and environmental degradation through improved health programs and policies around the world.
Street dance styles evolved outside of dance studios and are often improvisational and encourage interaction between dancers and spectators. Hip hop originated in the Bronx in the 1970s and includes elements like DJing, rapping, breakdancing, and graffiti art. Breaking or b-boying was one of the earliest hip hop dance styles developed by Black and Puerto Rican youth in New York in the 1970s. It incorporates footwork, poses on hands, and spins/rotations.
This document discusses disaster readiness and risk reduction by focusing on the risk factors underlying disasters. It defines key terms like hazards, exposure, and vulnerability and explains how reducing vulnerability and exposure can help lower disaster risk. The main risk factors that influence disaster risk are identified as climate change, environmental degradation, globalized economic development, poverty and inequality, poorly planned urban development, and weak governance.
The document provides information on the arts and crafts of several regions in South, Central and West Asia. It discusses the Ajanta Caves in India which date back to the 2nd century BCE containing rock cut cave monuments. It also describes the evolution of the image of Shiva in India from the destroyer to the cosmic dancer. The document further discusses the arts of Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and West Asia, highlighting crafts involving textiles, ceramics, woodwork and more. It concludes by providing instructions for making a Rangoli and Diwali mobile.
This document discusses the history and types of technology-based art. It began in the 1960s with computer-generated images created by engineers and scientists. Early examples include polygon drawings from 1965. Technology-based art now includes digital photography, computer-generated images, video games, and mobile phone art. Anyone can now create digital art using common devices like desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones.
