 Why is there a need to study Trends, Networks, and Critical Thinking in the
21st Century? Perhaps, you, along with other Senior High School learners, ask this
question upon learning the K to 12 SHS Curriculum.

The course provides opportunities for students to discover patterns and extract
meanings from emerging trends. It aids in developing their critical and creative thinking
skills-- essential tools for decision making and understanding “ethics of care”. Global
trends in the 21st century is examined and are either accepted or rejected on a sound
set of criteria.

Students will be asked to create and analyze scenarios that will challenge them
to (1) formulate their stances on issues or concerns; (2) propose interventions and (3)
formulate alternative futures. The students will realize the interconnections between
their neural connections and social realities.

Directions: TRUE OR FALSE: Write TRUE if the statement is true and FALSE if it’s
erroneous. Have this in your activity notebook.

1. In 1931, Isaac Newton’s book Cosmic Religion and Other Opinions and Aphorisms
was published.

2. The headquarters of Samsung Electronics, Toyota Motors, and Apple Inc. including
its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, and regional offices work separately.

3. Creative Imagination involves the formation or creation of mental images.

4. Imagination works well alone when it comes to wanting to bring something to life.

5. Almost everything that you use, consume, or enjoy is a product of creative

imagination. Intuition is no longer necessary.

 Previously, you learned about the underlying concepts involved in the study of
Global Networks particularly the concrete effects of globalization and the need for
collaboration and cooperation to achieve interconnectedness of people and nations.

and the important role of creative imagination in putting together the various parts of
a whole and the origin of the different components of a gadget, business enterprise,
industrial/technological/agricultural product, etc.

Directions: Read and understand each question. Write the answer in your

Contributions of the Various Parts to a Whole

The headquarters of Samsung Electronics, Toyota Motors, and Apple Inc.

including its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, and regional offices are all parts of a
whole. These multinational corporations have facilities and other assets in other
countries that are part of the entire operation and continuous existence of each
multinational corporation. It maintains a central office located in one country, which
coordinates the management of all its offices, such as administrative branches or
factories. They must function in accordance with the set of conditions, rules, and
standards of the company. The functions and responsibilities of these sub offices are
prescribed by the head office. Thus, they are made aware of their responsibility for
the success of the whole operation of the company.

All divisions and functionaries of the subsidiary company are all parts which
comprise the main company as a whole. They include the administration, personnel
and staff, the accounting and cashier, the security, and the auxiliary are
interdependent such that the failure or poor performance of one affects the other and
has negative impact in the operations of the whole company. Flaws in the
organizational structure that cause breakdowns in communication or lapses in
responsibility need to be repaired to facilitate efficiency and productivity.

Another aspect showing the relations of the various components to the whole is
the chain process. The different stages to be undertaken in relation to the creation of
the entire value chain process must be coherent, supportive, and consistent with one
another. Hence, each one is important for the whole process to be carried out
successfully.

 An organization’s short, medium, or long-term plans also constitute a whole with
its various time frames and percentages of accomplishments as parts. Each period
covered with corresponding percentage of accomplished target should lead to the
attainment of the whole plan.

Creative Imagination

Imagination does not work alone when it comes to wanting to bring something to
life and allowing it to step out of your mind. Creativity kicks in when an individual wants
to make something out of their imagination. Creativity can be shown in millions of ways
depending on the individual’s personality and abilities.
Creative Imagination involves the formation or creation of mental images. It is the
ability of the mind to transcend its limits, explore the unseen, and tread the path it
would normally take. Thus, when you translate your imagination into reality, you are a
creator of reality.
In 1931, Albert Einstein’s book Cosmic Religion and Other Opinions and
Aphorisms was published. There, he stated his belief on intuition as: “I believe in
intuition and inspiration. At times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason.
When the eclipse of 1919 confirmed my intuition, I was not in the least surprised. In
fact, I would have been astonished had it turned out otherwise. Imagination is more
important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces
the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking,
a real factor in scientific research.” Albert Einstein regarding intuition or imagination as
more important than knowledge, and it is important even in his scientific work.

(Teklamaisuraze 2019)

Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc. with his iconic pose showing the products he
made with his use of creative imagination to advance consumer electronics,
computers, software, and computer animation.

Creative imagination plays a vital role in putting together the various parts of a
whole. It is through the imagination that an image is created, and its parts identified.
Pie chart, bar graph, graphics, and other illustrations can be applied to make the
presentation of the product attractive. The components of gadgets such as smart
phones and laptops, the divisions of a business enterprise like fast-food chain, and the
segments or an industrial product such as a tractor, all constitute parts that make up
5

NEGOR_Q3_TNCT/HUMSS11_MODULE5_V2
a whole.

The design of the gadget, the organizational structure of a business enterprise,

and the capacity and strength of the industrial product all emanated from the creative
imagination of a person or group of individuals. Almost everything that you use,
consume, or enjoy is a product of creative imagination guided by intuition.

The use of creative imagination is not only limited to the creation of goods and
services. It can also help you solve problems and help you come up with new ideas
and explore possibilities.

General Directions: Read and understand the questions. Write the answers in your
notebook.

1. Is the efficiency of a company affected when the various parts of the whole
operation are located in distant places? Support your answer.
