FUNCTIONS OF APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES
SELF-DEVELOPMENT
1. Counseling — offers guidance to individuals in
various situations of conflict, confusion. and crisis
and provides the tools for the individual to address
issues of self-development.
2. Social Work - offers a wide range of services,
particularly in aid of liberating the marginalized
individuals and facilitating participation in the public
goods and services that are necessary for self-
development.
3. Communication - empowers the individual with
listening and speaking skills in order for them to be
effective. The individual has to be sure that the
message comes across accurately by considering the
message itself, the audience or receiver and how the
message is likely to be received.
PERSUASION
In careers related to communication like mass media,
advertising, and business, persuasion is very essential. To
persuade means: Being able to convince other people to
change their attitudes or behavior regarding an issue through
the communication of messages in an atmosphere of free
choice. One cannot persuade a person unless he/she has a
foundation in social sciences. It is very important that those
who make the messages or advertisements that want to
persuade a client or customer must be knowledgeable about
the culture of the people in which the messages are being
communicated. The heart of persuasion is the ability to
understand one's audience well and its complexity.
Persuasion energizes itself to move audiences to desired and
immediate action.
ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT ART AND
ENTERTAINMENT
Applied social sciences are also used in the arts and
entertainment industry. Arts and entertainment are
reflections of a country's culture and society. To be able to
understand and analyze the development and new trends in
the arts and entertainment, it is important to be familiar with
the people's social and cultural conditions. As new forms
and delivery systems for entertainment flourish, there is
great importance to understand the needs of the viewing
public. It is important to cope with the changing demands of
the viewers in order to get the viewer's attention. The applied
social sciences prove to be significant in this aspect because
of a strong foundation in the study of people's viewing
behavior.
E. Discussing new concepts NEWS AND INFORMATION
and practicing new skill # 2
Applied social science is also important in the field of
journalism. The news and current affairs sector emphasize
the need for a balanced, objective and truthful rendering of
the political and other important events as they actually
happened. Practitioners in the applied social sciences have
enough training in this regard because they have a good
foundation in history and political science. Through the
application of these fields, applied social scientists have
enough skills to be able to write and report news accurately
and objectively.
ORGANIZING ADVOCACY AND MOBILIZATION
Advocacy groups are organized to inform and educate on
public issues and influence people on the development of
policies. Advocacy groups also play important roles in the
development of political and social systems. Applied social
sciences is a good background for advocacy and
mobilization because this field studies politics, governance,
and social and political dynamics which are very important
backgrounds for advocacy works. The following are some of
the different activities of advocacy. All these activities
require knowledge of the applied social sciences. It includes
the following:
1. Community organizing and mobilization — it is
about helping to mobilize constituents and build
power with their communities.
2. Information dissemination — Providing communities
and people with the right information on important
political, social, and economic issues affecting them.
3. Research Conducting research that reflects the needs
of the communities.
4. Training - Training sessions that will teach
successful strategies and skills for personal and
community development.
FUNCTIONS OF APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES TO
EDUCATION
The academy is one of the most relevant career tracks that
applied social scientists can pursue. The multidisciplinary
approach in the study of the applied social sciences can
equip students with the skills and expertise to work in
schools, colleges, and universities. These are a significant
number of subjects offered in the general education
curriculum at the secondary and tertiary levels that applied
social scientists can teach. This includes history, society and
culture, and politics and government.
EFFECTS OF APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES
Applied social sciences offer a wide range of practitioners in
their field of expertise in different areas such as advocacy.
counseling and case management to be able to work with the
clienteles of social work to improve their well-being and
social functioning. They can also fit well in all other sectors
requiring the application of psychological knowledge,
including the human resource offices, and market research.
community services, health, and social welfare.
With the applied social sciences processes, standards in
social service delivery are observed. A set of core values is
considered in the delivery of human and social services.
Services are given with quality. Social justice is pursued.
Every person is considered to have dignity and worth. The
importance of human relationships is a factor in social
service delivery. Integrity and competence are expected of
all professionals in the practice of social service. People in
need are helped by social workers to address social
problems. Social injustice is challenged.
