What’s In
Before we proceed, let us go back with some of the important concepts about
society on social stratification and inequality which relate our discussion.
According to Marxist Theory, social stratification is created by the differing
economic capacities among people and their relationships to the means or the
factors of production. In a society, two distinct classes can be created which feature
those who own the factors or means of production and those who sell their labor in
the production chain to those who own the means. This basically creates the
employer- employee relation in most societies. Apart from these two distinct
groups, Karl Marx also recognized two other groups that do not belong to either but
are somehow related to the two large groups:
The Petite Bourgeoisie- those who own some of the means of productions but
their profit earning power is not enough to earn them a position among the
bourgeoisie
The Underclass- includes those who have no social status
1. ___Craftsmen 6. ___Merchants
2. ___Artisans 7. ___Landlords
3. ___Wage earners 8. ___Car buyers
4. ___Employer 9. ___Company owners
5. ___Beggars 10. ___Employee

Global Warming and Climate Change
Global warming is generally described as a
gradual increase in the average temperature of the
Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans. It is mainly
caused heat being trapped in the earth known as
greenhouse effect. This environmental change is
irreversible, and later would permanently change the
earth’s climate. As such, climate change becomes a
global concern to every nation, especially to those
highly industrialized countries.

Although the climate problem will not be solved without government
responses, various private sectors such as business corporations, advocacy groups,
and other non-governmental institutions are actively engaging to reduce the cause
of climate problem specifically global warming.
Accordingly, the private sectors are particularly important because climate
policy is shared responsibility between the public and private sectors of the society.
The private sector responses also called as private climate governance can be
collaborated with government responses.
Empowering OFWs
Overseas Filipino Workers’ (OFWs) face a lot of challenges as they seek a
better opportunity abroad. Because of difference in social and cultural structures of
other countries, OFWs are prone to violence manifested through labor exploitation,
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
abuse of employers, leading to some legal issues. Despite the difficulties faced by
the OFWs, they are persistently pursuing to work abroad to lift their families from
poverty. Other OFWs have chosen to work abroad for better salary, which the local
employers could not provide them. Still, there are OFWs who are forced to work
abroad due to underemployment caused by job mismatch in work opportunity and
workers’ skills in the country. Nonetheless, there are few non-governmental
organizations that continuously provide support system to OFWs to protect their
rights, and assist them to fulfil their employment goals while working abroad.
