THE ATOM
The atom is a small, indivisible particle considered to be the basic unit of matter.
Three subatomic particles are:
Protons - the positively charged particle of the atom
Neutrons - the uncharged particle of the atom.
Electrons - the negatively charged particle of the atom
An atom contains a nucleus which is located at its center.
The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons.
The electrons are located outside the nucleus.
Electrons are much smaller than neutrons and protons.
The shells are numbered, depending on how close they are to the
nucleus.
Electrons in the lowest energy level are the ones
(most tight to bound therefore hard to expel)
FORMULAS:
Mass Number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
Number of Neutrons = Mass Number – Number of Protons
Atomic Number = Number of Electrons
Number of Electrons = Number of Protons
ISOTOPES
Unstable isotopes are called radioisotopes or radionuclides.
Specific isotope is called a nuclide.
They emit radiation, causing the nucleus to change into the nucleus of a different element which is
more stable.
Such atoms are described as radioactive and the process of emission of radiation called radioactive
decay.
PROTIUM ( H)
an isotopes of hydrogen.
has 1 proton but NO neutron.
Most common isotope of hydrogen and also the most abundant in nature.
It is usually involved in the hydrogenation of materials.
Hydrogenation is the process where molecular hydrogen is added to react with another compound
(usually organic compound) to treat substances.
DEUTERIUM ( H)
has 1 proton and 1 neutron.
sometimes called heavy hydrogen because it is more massive than protium.
It can be used to form “heavy water”, which is denser than ordinary water.
It is also involved in some nuclear reactions.
TRITIUM ( H)
ISOTOPES OF CARBON
Carbon-12 ( C)
most common isotope of carbon.
It is considered as the reference isotope for measuring the atomic weights of all the other
elements’ masses.
Carbon-13 ( C)
Is commonly used in studying the structure of organic compounds using nuclear magnetic
resonance spectroscopy.
Carbon-14 ( C)
Is a radioactive isotope used in carbon dating to determine the age of materials like historical
artifacts.
In democratic states, the separation of church and state is guaranteed, though in reality, the state
defines and limits the influence of religion on society through laws, regulations, and other means.
STATE
The state, meanwhile, participates in socialization through laws and other regulations that reinforce
appropriate behavior, and help form values and attitudes of the citizens.
Through the laws, the state upholds important concepts such as rights and responsibilities, and
regulates the behavior of its citizen through the use of rewards and sanctions.
Major Social and Historical Events
Major social and political events can also be significant socializing forces for an entire generation. The
changes and developments brought about by historical events often cause transformations in values,
attitudes, and views that define societies leading to further changes in the behavior and traditions of the
societies.
Historical events, however, tend to affect individuals and societies differently.
Subcultural View
Points to the emergence of deviance behavior within certain groups in the society or subcultures
Symbolic-interactionist view
Considers deviance as a socially constructed phenomenon influenced largely by interpersonal
relationships between members of society.
Labeling Theory
Which believes that there is no actually deviance in society; deviance only emerges when society
begins labeling certain actions as “deviant” or “undesirable”.
Conflict Perspective
Meanwhile, analyzes deviance in the framework of competing interests, between social groups
and maintenance of power among the elites.
Control Theories
Consider deviance as emerging because of inadequate social controls.
They are fundamental since they cannot be taken away from any human being.
They are indivisible as various rights are interrelated and given equal importance.
They are absolute since they cannot be qualified and are considered basic necessities for living a
genuine life.
UCSP
John Locke
A British Enlightenment philosopher, said that the human mind at birth is nothing but a blank slate
or tabula rasa
Socialization
Refers to the lifelong process of social interaction through which acquire their identities and
necessary survival skills in society
Political Socialization
A process which enables the development of citizens to function effectively within particular
political system.
Internationalization
Refers to the process of accepting the social norms, attitudes, roles, and values transmitted by
people and social groups within society as one’s own.
Functionalist Point of View
Society, for its part, is seen as the primary factor responsible for how individuals learn to think and
behave.
Interpretevist Sociologist
Sees socialization as an interactive process between individuals and other members of society.
For more comprehensive view on the process of socialization, sociologist suggest combining
perspectives of functionalism and interpretivism and incorporating them in the analysis of other aspects
of social life.
Synthesized view of socialization
proposed by the sociologist William Wentworth, which considers how the factors such as free will,
human autonomy, and social structures and processes influence socialization.
Social Context
Refers to the particular circumstances of a society and consists of its culture, language, and
social structures that define social class, ethnicity, and gender.
Content
Refers to the ideas, beliefs, behavior, and other information that are passed by members of
society to the individual.
Process
Refers to the methods of interaction that enable the content to be given to the person undergoing
socialization.
Result
Refers to the outcomes of socialization and are evident when individuals begin to practice the
behaviors, attitudes, and values hat society considers necessary for them to function effectively as its
members.
Self-identity
Which refers to the establishment of unique sense of identity and an awareness of how it relates
to their society and the world.
Enculturation
Through enculturation, individuals learn cultural symbols, norms, values, and language by
observing and interacting with family, friends, teachers, and the rest of society.
Agent of Socialization and Enculturation
An important part of the socialization and enculturation processes are the social groups that
people come in contact and interact with throughout their lives. These groups are called participants or
agents of socialization and enculturation, and consist of persons, groups, and institutions that teach
people essential knowledge to participate successfully in society.
The Family
The family is the primary agent of socialization of an individual upon birth throughout infancy, and
up to childhood.
Schools
Have a critical and active role in socialization, as their various academic and social activities mold
student’s beliefs, values, and attitudes.
Peer Groups
Are formed by informal, spontaneous, and voluntary means. There are certain organized groups,
however, that can be considered peer groups since they allow individuals who share similar
backgrounds and interests to come together.
Mass Media
Includes forms of communication such as books, magazines, newspapers, other print materials,
radio, television, and movies.
Pluralist Model
Portrays media as an ideological marketplace that enhances debate and electoral choice.
Market Model
Suggests that media reflects the views of the general public, and that media presents what they
think the people they want.
Dominant-ideology model
Traces this bias to links between media and political and social elite.
Elite-values Model Recognizes media bias as a product of the personal views of media professionals
such as journalist, broadcasters, and editors.
PHILOSOPHY CHAPTER 2
It was Aristotle (384-322 BCE) who once said that man is a rational animal. Though many present-day
philosophers refute this claim, there is a little grain of truth in such an assertion.
In essence, the philosopher uses Logic as his toolbox. He deals with arguments and all sorts of
statements and uses careful rational thought to arrive at the truth. Note that when we talk about
arguments, we don’t necessarily refer to a battle of wits. Rather, we’re talking about statements in a
discourse or discussion.
Logic is a set of rules and techniques for distinguishing good reasoning from bad
In its simplest form, Logic is the use of arguments—also called premises—correctly. The goal of
philosophical discourse, therefore, is to provide arguments logically and avoid thinking fallaciously.
Deductive arguments are often said to start from the general and end with the specific. In philosophy, to
argue deductively is to provide successive premises which lead to certain conclusion. That is, if all of
your premises are true, your conclusion will be true as well.
