profession. Most people require a more specific area of study beyond the humanities, while
Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and
social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence. The Humanities and
Social Sciences are the study of human behavior and interaction in social, cultural,
environmental, economic and political contexts. The Humanities and Social Sciences have a
historical and contemporary focus, from personal to global contexts, and consider challenges
for the future

about what we are all against as a member of a species, struggling to maintain our dignity.

3. What Filipino world view and characteristics are express in that art or craft? (5
points)
4.
Every country has its own special Arts and Craft. So do Philippines have. Every
piece of art or craft produced bears the identity of the country and makes a fine
example of the artistic and creative faculties of the people. The cultivation of art or
craft requires years of dedication and practice and is the outcome of hard work and,
more than that, love for the art on the part of the artisans. Excellence in Arts and
Crafts in a particular country comes from within and requires some technical
knowledge along with a sound knowledge of the country’s history and culture as many
a time the replicas of famous events are portrayed through the medium of arts and
crafts.
The concept of Arts and Crafts is related to the making of objects with the artist’s
own hands, at times with the help of some specialized instruments, skillfully blended
with his or her sensitivity and artistic sense. Many villages in Philippines are dedicated
to Art and Craft industries which not only earn tourist acclaim but are also the sources
of employment to many Filipinos. Traditional arts like weaving, metal smith, pottery,
woodcarving and gold smith are famous all over the country and are valued both by
the locals and tourists. The valuable ornate carvings are a specialty in the southern
Philippine Islands.
