  1. SOCIAL ANALYSIS National Service Training Program 1

  2. Why Should We Do SA? • Helps identify opportunities and constraints arising from the country's socio-cultural, institutional, historical political and economic context; • Traces the barriers to opportunity on "maps" that take into account the institutionalized rules of game, categories of social diversity, and the interests and influence of multiple stakeholders;

  3. Why Should We Do SA? • Social analysis shows us how to overcome constraints and to activate the often invisible incentives and channels through which development is fostered and sustained; and • Social analysis thus charts a path to social development.

  4. Social Analysis is not really a sufficient tool of understanding the complex problem of a society. Rather, it is a process of putting things into perspective so that in the long run, in a person’s experiential learning, one could relate each issue to another

  5. Approaches to Social Analysis 1. Historical Analysis 2. Conjunctural Analysis 3. Class Analysis 4. Gender Analysis 5. Environmental Analysis

  6. On a deeper level, through Social Analysis, one can also look at how certain inequitable structures impact/affect society. Specific socio-economic-political problems and issues are manifestations of these so-called inequitable structures.

  7. How do these structures violate the Authentic Christian Humanist framework? • 1. Violates human dignity because they subject people to sub- human conditions; • 2. Perpetuate unequal relationships between social classes (haves and have nots)
