Activity 1 Story-time
Directions: Read the story below entitled The Six Blind Men and the Elephant. Then,
give your insights and ideas about it.
There were once six blind men who stood by the road-side every day, and
begged from the people who passed. They had often heard of elephants, but they had
never seen one; for, being blind, how could they?
It so happened one morning that an elephant was driven down the road where
they stood. When they were told that the great beast was before them, they asked
the driver to let him stop so that they might see him.
Of course they could not see him with their eyes; but they thought that by
touching him they could learn just what kind of animal he was.
The first one happened to put his hand on the elephant's side. "Well, well!" he
said, "now I know all about this beast. He is exactly like a wall."
The second felt only of the elephant's tusk. "My brother," he said, "you are
mistaken. He is not at all like a wall. He is round and smooth and sharp. He is more
like a spear than anything else."
The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. "Both of you are
wrong," he said. "Anybody who knows anything can see that this elephant is like a
snake."
The fourth reached out his arms, and grasped one of the elephant's legs. "Oh,
how blind you are!" he said. "It is very plain to me that he is round and tall like a
tree."
The fifth was a very tall man, and he chanced to take hold of the elephant's
ear. "The blindest man ought to know that this beast is not like any of the things
that you name," he said. "He is exactly like a huge fan."
The sixth was very blind indeed, and it was some time before he could find the
elephant at all. At last he seized the animal's tail. "O foolish fellows!" he cried. "You
surely have lost your senses. This elephant is not like a wall, or a spear, or a snake,
or a tree; neither is he like a fan. But any man with a par-ti-cle of sense can see that
he is exactly like a rope."
Then the elephant moved on, and the six blind men sat by the roadside all
day, and quarreled about him. Each believed that he knew just how the animal
looked; and each called the others hard names because they did not agree with him.
People who have eyes sometimes act as foolishly.
The End.

Lesson
SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
1
Discover
2. Social Perspective
This perspective describes the social and political networks that connect
individuals, organizations, and its leaders. A clear understanding of the different
networks is crucial in planning how to engage in community activities.
3. Virtual Perspective
Today, individuals rely heavily on computer-mediated communication.
Technology continues to grow and being studied. It is a fast-growing industry in
these days. Virtual communities are social groups or groups with a common
interest that interact in an organized fashion using the internet.
4. Individual Perspective
Individuals who are living in a community have their unique sense of
membership. Some may have a sense of belonging to more than one community.
For example, you are from La Union and moved to Nueva Ecija.
"Urban area" can refer to towns, cities, and suburbs. An urban area includes
the city itself, as well as the surrounding areas. Many urban areas are called
metropolitan areas, or "greater," as in Greater New York or Greater London.
When two or more metropolitan areas grow until they combine, the result
may be known as a megalopolis. In the United States, the urban area of Boston,
Massachusetts, eventually spread as far south as Washington, D.C., creating the
megalopolis of BosWash, or the Northeast Corridor.
Rural areas are the opposite of urban areas. Rural areas, often called "the
country," have low population density and large amounts of undeveloped land.
Usually, the difference between a rural area and an urban area is clear. But in
developed countries with large populations, such as Japan, the difference is
becoming less clear. In the United States, settlements with 2,500 inhabitants or more
are defined as urban. In Japan, which is far more densely populated than the U.S.,
only settlements with 30,000 people or more are considered urban.
Throughout the world, the dominant pattern of migration within countries
has been from rural to urban areas. This is partly because improved technology has
decreased the need for agricultural workers and partly because cities are seen as
offering greater economic opportunities. Most of the world’s people, however, still live
in rural areas.
Social Interaction
Any discussion of social interaction is not complete without citing Louis
Wirth’s article “Urbanism as a Way of Life”. Wirth’s hypothesis is that substantial
increases in size and density of a community’s population result in the accentuation
of these five qualities:
Ferdinand Tonnies
Ferdinand Tönnies (1855- 1936) was a German sociologist. He was a major
contributor to sociological theory and field studies. His distinction between two types
of social groups - Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft - is what Tönnies is best known for.
He was, however, a prolific writer and also co-founder of the German Society for
Sociology.
Tönnies distinguished between two types of social
groupings. Gemeinschaft often translated as community refers to groupings based
on a feeling of togetherness. Gesellschaft often translated as society on the other
hand, refers to groups that are sustained by an instrumental goal. Gemeinschaft
may by exemplified by a family or a neighborhood; Gesellschaft by a joint-stock
company or a state.
His distinction between social groupings is based on the assumption that
there are only two basic forms of an actor's will, to approve of other men. Following
his "essential will" ("Wesenwille"), an actor will see himself as a means to serve the
goals of social grouping; very often it is an underlying, subconscious force. Groupings
formed around an essential will are called a Gemeinschaft. The other will is the
"arbitrary will" ("Kürwille"): An actor sees a social grouping as a means to further his
individual goals; so it is purposive and future-oriented. Groupings around the latter
are called Gesellschaft. Whereas the membership in a Gemeinschaft is self-fulfilling,
a Gesellschaft is instrumental for its members. In pure sociology theoretically these
two normal types of will are to be strictly separated; in applied sociology empirically,
they are always mixed.

“That is the part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that our longings
are universal; longings that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”
– F. Scott Fitzgerald
Man will always be fascinated by the power communities. To see humans
coming together in such a unique manner is always a wonderful sight to behold. Why
do we value family relationship? Why do we treasure memories during our
elementary of high school years? Why do we fall in love and form our families? Why
do we anticipate with eagerness to attend a class reunion or a grand alumni
homecoming? Why do people participate in communities? What is it that a
community exist?

Social psychologists Mcmillan and Chavis (1976) called this phenomenon the
“sense of community.” The theory was described in one sentence: “Sense of
community is a feeling that the members have of belonging, a feeling that members
matter to one another and to the group, and a shared faith that members’ needs will
be met through their commitment to be together.”
The Four Factors
1. Membership
This is the feeling of belonging or of sharing a sense of personal relatedness.
This concept includes:
a. Boundaries: how do people become members and what are the boundaries
keeping others out. Requirements are usually proof of residence and payment
of the corresponding membership fee. For example, Maria Jose is an active
member of the United Dulao Homeowners Association, Incorporated in Dulao,
Aringay, La Union.
b. Emotional Safety: by building boundaries and including the right people, we
create trust and a feeling of safety. A sample of this, security guards are
regularly manning the three entrances and and exits of a subdivision or there
are barangay tanods and police at the barangay outpost.
c. A sense of belonging and identification: members feel that they are welcome,
they fit in, and that this is “our community”. Example, the place that you are
born is the place that you are resided until today. You feel at peace and cared
on your community.
d. Personal community: Members contributions and sacrifices to the community
enhance their sense of community. Like, giving support to the church in the
community. There is a clean-up drive on every Friday in our community.
e. A common symbol system: In Aringay, La Union, the symbols or images that
can be seen on the municipal logo are mountains, fields, river, farmer and
fisherman.
2. Influence
This is also understood as a sense of mattering. Its basis is that is to work
both ways, with members feeling that they are influencing the community and the
community having influence over its members.
For example, to sustain this factor, the community must create an
environment where members would feel that they have a say in what happens.
Having a regular meeting with the majority of residents involving them in planning
and implementation of things to be done to improve the community is an excellent
step to maintain influence. The community needs simply to become a place that
members care. It has to provide them with values/vision that they do not want to
lose.
