To obtain possible theories and principles about society as well as various aspects of social life; To critically study the nature of humanity, which also leads to examining our roles within the society; Appreciate that all things (in society) are interdependent with each other. An individual’s personal history is connected to his/her environment’s history, which is also tied into the nation’s history; Broaden our familiarity on sociological facts, which are acquired through empirical process. Incidentally, it makes us realize our prejudices on various social issues; and Expose our minds to the different perspectives on attaining the truth. For instance, some theorists (especially social philosophers) argue that the truth is relative. This sociological viewpoint diminishes the theory that there is an absolute truth. Furthermore, the determination whether an action/behavior is good or bad depends on one’s social norms.

- 30. POLITICS The study of Politics has something to do with power – who wields it and how it is used. Therefore, it is important to study politics to understand society and to help change it for the better. This means that political science is not just for politicians or for aspiring lawyers instead, it is also a give and take relationship between the government (as a state apparatus) and its people (as a subject).

- 31. Politics It originated from the Greek word ‘polis’, which means ‘city’ or ‘state’. It is the art and science of governing city/state. It is the social process or strategy in any position of control which people gain, use, or lose power. This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND
- 32. Politics Due to the negative connotations of politics, the term is now applied to many different social situations. For example, politics is present when a teacher is bribed to include a certain student in the honor list or when an employee spreads rumors against his/her officemate to get ahead in a promotion. Politics is often used synonymously with government, however, the two (2) are distinct from each another. The government that takes shape in a country is a reflection of the country’s political philosophy. While government typically refers to the established legislative and executive departments of a nation or state, politics is a broad term that is related to the power sharing in any organization. In other words, politics is an idea while government is the concrete realization of that idea. This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND
- 33. GOVERNMENT It is the agency to which the will of the state is formulated, expressed, and carried out. It is the organized agency in a state tasked to impose social control. It is a group of people that governs a community or unit. It sets and administers public policy and exercises executive, political, and sovereign power through customs, institutions and laws within a state.

- 34. Government The government exists for the benefit of the governed. It is there for our benefit not for the government officials to benefit from us. It is not just governing the people or the citizens but also the territory and the sovereignty or independence of the country. Collectively, the government, people, territory, and sovereignty are known as the elements of the State. People often interchangeably use the terms state and nation but the difference lies on how the latter refers to an ethnic concept which means that people are bound together by common ethnical elements such as race, language, and culture. On the other hand, a state is more of a political concept. It refers to a community of persons more or less numerous permanently occupying a definite portion of territory, having a government of their own to which the great body of inhabitants render obedience and enjoying freedom from external control.
