MODULE 2: Relating Text Content to Social Issues and
Concerns
What Can I do
2.
A. The article is all about understanding the people with mental health issues
or disorders. A lot of people are already suffering from this kind of illness, so
we shouldn't turn a blind eye, instead, raise awareness and support. Also
according to the article, these people shouldn't be judged or criticized,
instead, should be given help and attention without giving any judgements.
B. Important details:
- According to the World Health Organization, one in four persons in the
world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in
their lives. The WHO reported that 800,000 people die due to suicide
every year.
- Data from the DOH show that in the Philippines, 3.3 million Filipinos suffer
from depressive disorders, with suicide rates in 2.5 males and 1.7 females
per 100,000.

A. In my own observation and analysis, I think yes he is depressed, because of
all the problems he’s experiencing caused by his job and the pressure that
he needs to do everything so he could provide for his family. Also, it is
stated that he is experiencing enormous stress and breakdowns which are
considered as symptoms of depression.
B. If I were Mercy, I would rather tell Roland, “Roland you just need to stay
calm and relax yourself so everything will flow and be managed easily. I am
here to listen and help you solve the reason that's been causing you stress
lately. I will just prepare the dinner and let’s talk about it.”
C. In my own experience, I always give them understanding and long patience
because I know that experiencing those kinds of disorders is not easy. Also,
I will do my absolute best to offer help such as talking or checking up on
them from time to time to make sure that they are okay and not having
difficulties. I will share encouraging words that can help them strengthen
their hearts, mind, body, and spirit.
Assessment
1. The best word to describe the text given is informative. The text provides us with
different information about the infodemic happening around the world.
2. The text is all about how you will protect yourself from the infodemic. It also
explains how it affects us and why is it happening now.
3. Infodemic is the social problem mentioned in the text which is similar to fake
news. Because of all the sitewide online platforms or social networks that can be
found on the internet, it is now fast to spread different unreliable and false
information around the world that leads to worsening the ongoing disease
outbreak. Many of us have already been victims of different kinds of
misinformation that we found on the internet. Difficulty in knowing what is reliable
and true is already experienced that leads to giving false knowledge to people.
4. Nowadays, people easily believe in a lot of things that they can see coming from
the internet. Infodemic can affect our physical and mental health in a lot of
different ways. It can negatively affect our psychological manners and behaviors
in our daily lives. With that said, people experienced difficulties in identifying
what are the reliable sources to those that are not. Also, some people are having
trust issues because of all the false information spreading around the world.
5. Among all the ways mentioned, the fifth way is the best in my own opinion. It is
already known that the condition of our physical and mental health should be
taken care of properly. With this solution of spending less time online, we can
maintain a healthy and stable physical and mental health. We can avoid
ourselves with all the negativity and other things that can be found on the
internet. We will learn now to give more time for ourselves to improve and be
more healthy by having more time engaging in our hobbies and passions.
Additional Activities
ACTIVITY#2
1. Based on the video that I’ve watched, frontliners are being discriminated against
because they are the ones mostly exposed outside and in-charge to take care of
the covid-19 patients. People thought that when they encounter a frontliner it is
already a carrier of the virus and they might spread to them.
2. To avoid this kind of societal disapproval to our frontliners, we should simply
change our mindsets and treatments towards them. Let other people realize all
the efforts and risks they give just to save and extend the lives of other people.
Frontliners are willing to risk their lives and do their best just to provide the right
service for all of us. We should give much appreciation and recognition to all of
their heroic sacrifices whether it's big or small. With this simple appreciation, we
can already help them strengthen their faith and hope that they can do it. Like
everyone else, they also share the same fear towards the ongoing disease
outbreak. Frontliners are not the virus, let’s end the stigma of viewing them as
they were the living virus, instead, let’s view them as our real life heroes of this
time of pandemic. In this kind of solidarity, we can altogether fight and end this
pandemic without any negativity involved.
