CONCLUSION

non-monetary forms of exchange and power are equally significant

• individuals can ‘choose’ but within existing social conventions, values and sanctions

• Individuals do not create the world anew

• behaviour is socially constrained

• our social interactions are already influenced

by social predispositions, conventions, rules etc.

Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas, aking lupang sinilangan Tahanan ng aking lahi, kinukupkop ako at tinutulungang Upang maging malakas, masipag at marangal Dahil mahal ko ang Pilipinas, Diringgin ko ang payo ng aking mga magulang, Susundin ko ang tuntunin ng paaralan, Tutuparin ko ang tungkulin ng isang mamamayang makabayan, Naglilingkod, nag-aaral at nagdarasal nang buong katapatan. Iaalay ko ang aking buhay, pangarap, pagsisikap Sa bansang Pilipinas.

THANK YOU!
