TYPES OF ARGUMENT
• DEDUCTIVE: proceeds from general ideas/facts to specific inferences; is one in
which true premises guarantee a true conclusion. It is impossible for the
premises to be true but the conclusion false.
Example:
All men are mortal (premise)
Juan is a man. (premise)
Juan is a mortal. (conclusion)
• INDUCTIVE: derives from specific observations lead to a general conclusion; is
one in which premises offer strong support for a conclusion, but one that is not
a certainty. The premises are supposed to support the conclusion in such a way
that if the premises are true, it is improbable that the conclusion would
be false.
Example:
Juan is a Filipino. (premise)
Most Filipinos eat pork. (premise)
Juan ate pork. (conclusion)
*It is important to cite your sources. It signifies that you are giving credit to
the owner of information and ideas you want to include in your essay.

ACTIVITY 3

Marriage is sacred and a must. Marriage is the process by which two people
make their relationship public, official, and permanent. It is the joining of two people
in a bond that putatively lasts until death, but in practice is increasingly cut short by
separation. Over the course of a relationship that can last as many as seven or eight
decades, a lot happens. Personalities change, bodies age, and romantic love waxes
and wanes. And no marriage is free of conflict. What enables a couple to endure is
how they handle that conflict. It is lawful which should be follow and taken care by a
married people or a family. In addition, it is necessary in general. But if a marriage is
not working anymore that only leads to fighting then it only becomes an abuse, it
requires a legal separation to any of the spouses. This process undergone legally and

has a sanction of the court. It could be an annulment just like here in our country,
the Philippines, we allow it.
People who say that divorce is not advisable for the Philippines forget or ignore
our history. The ethno-linguistic communities of the Philippine archipelago before the
Spanish conquest practiced divorce. We had a divorce law from 1917 until August 30,
1950, when the Civil Code of 1950 took effect. The latter law prohibited divorce for
Filipinos, and the prohibition continues under the present Family Code. But Muslim
Filipinos have always practiced divorce, which Philippine law allowed. Today, divorce
continues to be available to Muslim Filipinos under the Code of Muslim Personal Law
of the Philippines (Presidential Decree No. 1083), promulgated in 1977.
In the Philippines as well as the other states such as Vatican City and British
Crown Dependency of Shark the thing called ‘Divorce’ is not applicable now a day in
the said countries. But a bill recently filed in Congress provides hope for thousands
of couples trapped in failed and often abusive marriages, by legalizing divorce. It is
now the fight to make divorce legal in the Philippines. The dissolution of a marriage
is almost always an unhappy event, at the very least marked by disappointment and
the loss of dreams and expectations. In addition, there are usually many legal,
financial, parental, emotional, and practical aspects that require changes in
responsibilities and routines, and it can take people years to regain equilibrium.
Nevertheless, divorce serves an important function in legally and emotionally freeing
people to form a more stable relationship.
A divorce law will provide a remedy that Article 36 does not. Divorce does not
concern itself with validity or invalidity of a marriage. It terminates a marriage based
on a ground that occurred during the marriage, which makes the marital relationship
no longer tenable, regardless of the spouse’s psychological constitution. A divorce law
will provide a straightforward remedy to a marital failure. It will benefit Filipinos
wherever they are.
It is time to give the remedy of divorce to those who need it, even as we respect
the decision of those who want to stay married despite their miserable marital life.
First thing is that a couple’s conflicts often lead to maltreatment and the women are
the most affected in the situation. Simple, because compare to women men are more
aggressive and stronger when it comes to strength. Another is that a man has a power
to rule the house even in a wrong way, so a woman was set aside because of its poor
capability. Lastly, a woman is more emotional so if its trust will be misuse it leads to
overthinking and makes a woman struggle a depression which is really unhealthy.
The Catholic Church need not worry. To be sure, the Catholic Church will be
the staunchest opponent of the divorce bill. It will once again argue against the bill
on moral grounds. It will appeal the constitutional provision directing the State to
protect marriage and the family, and another that refers to the sanctity of family life.
But these constitutional provisions were never intended to prohibit Congress from
legalizing divorce. First, we are a secular state, where no religious group has the right
to define law or policy for the entire population. The law should only give people a
choice, to be exercised according to their own personal beliefs. Second, non-divorced

As been stated above it is better to legalize divorced because first it only leads
to maltreatment, stereotyping, and depression which may affects women the most.
Second, because not all marriage was joined by God, which makes sense that any of
the religious beliefs do not have the right to hinder our country in legalizing divorce
which is beneficial otherwise. Lastly, it could promote a healthy marriage and family
through the succession of finally approving or legalizing divorce in the Philippines.
We are the only country that does not allow divorce now a days it was once a
law during American colonial. A divorce law will provide a remedy that Article 36 does
not; it terminates a marriage based on a ground that occurred during the marriage,
which makes the marital relationship no longer tenable, regardless of the spouse’s
psychological constitution. A divorce law will provide a straightforward remedy to a
marital failure. It will benefit Filipinos wherever they are.
Every day people bear children, they get married, and die after all. It is a big
breaks again to us Filipinos the enactment of divorce that serves important function
in legally and emotionally freeing people to form a more stable relationship.

The position paper is devoted to a discussion of one side of an issue. While other
essays are devoted to presenting information, the position paper tackles one
significant issue of a community on which the author tales a stand. What makes the
position paper challenging is that since the work aims at convincing readers to take
the author’s position, credible evidence needs to be presented.

TYPES OF REPORT
1. INFORMAL REPORT. It is used to inform, analyze and recommend. It usually takes
the form of a memo, letter or a very short document like a monthly financial report,
research and development report, etc. This report is shorter and informal than a
formal report. It is written according to organization‘s style and rules but generally
does not include the preliminary and supplemental material. The informal report
is generally more conversational in tone and typically deals with everyday problems
and issues of an organization. Sales reports, lab reports, progress reports, service
reports, etc. are few examples of this kind of reports.
2. Formal Report. The formal report is the collection and interpretation of data and
information. The formal report is complex and used at an official level. It is
often a written account of a major project. Examples of subject matter include
new technologies, the advisability of launching a new project line, results of a
study or experiment, an annual report, or a year-old review of developments
in the field.

ACTIVITY 2
Read the report below then answer the questions that follow.
Fast-food Addiction
(1) It is no secret that the US is leading the world in its swelling obesity. The
nation is subsisting on a diet of high-calorie convenience food. In fact,
Americans have increased their spending on fast-food items from $6 billion to
nearly $160 billion annually over the past four decades. What may come as a
shock, however, is the accumulation of evidence suggesting that the main
ingredients in the typical “hamburger, fries, and a cola” are addictive
compounds that keep customers lining up for their next fix.
(2) The key culprits are sugar and fat. Empirical studies reveal that the heavy
dosage of these substances in today’s super-sized standard of a fast-food meal
can trigger brain activity similar to that endured when a person is on hard
drugs. A representative individual serving at McDonald’s or Burger King can
dish out up to 2000 calories, including more than a cup of sugar and 84 grams
of fat. Single-handedly, this meal sized portion meets the full daily caloric
requirement for the average woman. Moreover, it exceeds the recommended
daily allowances of both sugar and fat for any adult, regardless of gender.
(3) Whereas heroin is an opiate, both sugar and fat stimulate endogenous
opioids such as beta-endorphins in the hypothalamus, just above the brain
stem. These naturally occurring painkillers activate the release of dopamine, a
neurotransmitter, into a small cluster of cells located in the midbrain called
the nucleus acumens. Here, dopamine functions to elicit feelings of pleasure
or euphoria. What’s more, it motivates an individual to proactively repeat any
action that originally fueled its production. In the case of sugar and fat,
purported addiction is a consequence of the body craving the release of
dopamine inherent in their consumption.
(4) To validate reports that fat and sugar behave in a drug-like fashion,
researchers have conducted laboratory studies demonstrating that they induce

Strengths
Limitations
❖ They lack detail.
Open Questions
Open questions allow people to express what they think in their own words.
Open-ended questions enable the respondent to answer in as much detail as
they like in their own words.
For example: “can you tell me how happy you feel right now?”
Open questions are often used for complex questions that cannot be answered in a
few simple categories but require more detail and discussion.

Strengths
❖ Rich qualitative data is obtained as open questions allow the respondent to
elaborate on their answer. This means the research can find out why a person
holds a certain attitude.
Limitations
❖ Time-consuming to collect the data.
❖ Time-consuming to analyze the data.
❖ Not suitable for less educated respondents as open questions require superior
writing skills and a better ability to express one's feelings verbally.
Questionnaire Design
Aims
Make sure that all questions asked address the aims of the research. However,
use only one feature of the construct you are investigating in per item.
Length
The longer the questionnaire, the less likely people will complete it. Questions
should be short, clear, and be to the point; any unnecessary questions/items
should be omitted.
Pilot Study
Run a small- scale practice study to ensure people understand the questions.
People will also be able to give detailed honest feedback on the questionnaire
design.
Question Order
Questions should progress logically from the least sensitive to the most
sensitive, from the factual and behavioral to the cognitive, and from the more
general to the more specific.
The researcher should ensure that the answer to a question is not influenced
by previous questions.
Terminology
There should be a minimum of technical jargon. Questions should be simple,
to the point and easy to understand.

Make sure it looks professional, include clear and concise instructions. If sent
through the post make sure the envelope does not signify ‘junk mail.’
Ethical Issues
The researcher must ensure that the information provided by the respondent
is kept confidential, e.g., name, address, etc.
Keeping the questionnaire confidential should also reduce the likelihood of any
psychological harm, such as embarrassment.
Participants must provide informed consent prior to completing the
questionnaire, and must be aware that they have the right to withdraw their
information at any time during the survey/ study.
The data might not be valid (i.e., truthful) as we can never be sure that the
right person actually completed the postal questionnaire.

▪ Check that leading questions have not been used as they could bias the
respondent's answer.
Ensure the questionnaire can be completed in an appropriate time frame
(i.e., it's not too long.

Questionnaire research design proceeds in an orderly and specific manner. Each item
in the flow chart depends upon the successful completion of all the previous items.
Therefore, it is important not to skip a single step.
Establishing Goals. The first step in any survey is deciding what you want to
learn. The goals of the project determine whom you will survey and what you
will ask them.
26
Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF SAN PABLO CITY
The next thing to decide is how many people you need to interview. The
larger the sample, the more precisely it reflects the target group.
QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN
General Considerations
1. The first rule is to design the questionnaire to fit the medium. People
responding to mail or Web surveys cannot easily ask “What exactly do you
mean by that?” if they do not understand a question. Personal questions are
sometimes best handled by mail or computer, where anonymity is most
assured.

A questionnaire is any written set of questions, while a survey is both the set of
questions and the process of collecting, aggregating, and analyzing the responses
from those questions.
The difference between survey and questionnaire is that the latter includes any
written set of questions; while the former is both the set of questions and the
process of collecting, aggregating, and analyzing the responses from those
questions. In other words, “questionnaire” describes content, while “survey” is a
broader term that describes content, method, and analysis.

Now that you have learned about the differences between a questionnaire and a
survey, let us focus on how you will conduct a survey and gather information from
it.
Constructing a Survey
1. Martha wants to construct a survey that shows which sports students at her
school like to play the most.
a) List the goal of the survey.
• The goal of the survey is to find the answer to the question: “Which sports do
students at Martha’s school like to play the most?”
d) Create a data collection sheet that she can use to record her results.
• To collect the data to this simple survey Mary can design a data collection
sheet
such as the one below:
Sport Tally
Volleyball
Basketball
Soccer
Swimming
Table Tennis
Track and Field
38
Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF SAN PABLO CITY
➢ The answer from each interviewee can be quickly collected and then the data
collector can move on to the next person.
➢ Once the data has been collected, suitable graphs can be made to display the
results.
WHAT ARE SURVEYS? A survey is a way of collecting information that you hope
represents the views of the whole community or group in which you are interested.
39

For example, let’s say you want to know what people think about milk. The first
thing you need to figure out is: why do you want to know what people think about
milk? Is it because you are a dairy farmer who wants to know how many new cows
to buy this year? Or is it because you are a drug company gauging the demand for a
medicine for lactose intolerant people? Or is it because you want to market your
new soymilk most effectively?
For example, as a toy company, the kind of questions that you pose (and the way
that you phrase them) to 7-year-old boys should be different from the ones you ask
40-year-old women—and the way you get kids to fill out a survey is different from
the way you would get moms to do so. If you want to know the opinions of 7-year old
boys AND moms, you’ll want to send out two separate surveys.
For example, if you’re asking American men how often they wear ties, enough
American men need to respond so that their answers represent what American men
think. So how many is enough? Well there are roughly 150 million men in the
United States, so to estimate a population of that size you’ll need 385 American
men. Not sure how big your population is? In general, we recommend a default
sample size of 400 people. (If you want to know more about the mathematical magic
behind these numbers, check out these tips on finding your sample size.)
For example, surveys about designer dress rental services will likely yield a bigger
response in the days surrounding the Oscars than other times of the year. Or, if
you’re trying to reach an 18-21 years old who like to go out to nightclubs, sending a
40
Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF SAN PABLO CITY
survey out on a Friday night is a bad idea as they’re likely to be out. Surveys can
also influence the answers you receive. Identical surveys sent out at 9 AM and 9 PM
about how tasty people think dumplings are is likely not only to be answered by
different people, but also is likely to yield different answers. Similarly, a survey
about how much someone wants to quit their job will yield different answers on a
Monday and a Friday.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/how-to-conduct-surveys/
5. Decide what method you will use to collect your survey data
Will your survey be written or oral? Is there going to be a number where people can
call to register their results? Are you going to have a post office box to which
completed surveys should be mailed? You need to decide whether it's going to be
administered by people known to the audience and whether it will be done in
person, by phone, or by mail. Remember that the more personal you make it, the
higher the return rate will be. Surveys that are delivered cold have a return rate of
only two to three percent, unless they're on a very hot topic for the community
you're surveying. Keep in mind whom you want to survey. Does your public feel
more comfortable writing or speaking? Will it be efficient to leave surveys somewhere
for people to pick up at their will, or should you do something to make sure they get
one? If your survey is to be administered orally, will people feel honored or annoyed
about being asked for their opinions?

When determining the length of your survey, remember that less is more. The longer
it is, the less likely it is that people will take the time to do it. People get bored with
long surveys, and usually won't even bother to look at a survey that is more than a
page and a half long. Also, requiring long answers may lose your audience. Through
editing and condensing, you should try to keep your survey down to one page. What
it is you want to know and the method of survey (e.g., phone survey, mailed
survey) will also influence the length of your survey. Phone surveys, for example,
can take a little longer to complete. Once you've decided on your method, you can go
on to write your questions.
For example: "Do you use technology in teaching?" These are used when the
information you need is fairly clear-cut, i.e., if you need to know whether people use
a particular service or have ever heard of a specific local resource.
• Multiple choice: Allow the respondent to select one answer from a few possible
choices.
For example: "When I teach, I use technology... a) every time, b) most times, c)
sometimes, d) rarely, e) never." These allow you to find out more detailed
information than closed-ended questions, and the results can be compiled more
easily than open-ended questions.
Likert scale: Each respondent is asked to rate items on a response scale. For
instance, they could rate each item on a 1-to-5 response scale where:
1 = strongly disagree 2 = disagree 3 = undecided 4 = agree 5 = strongly
Agree
If you want to weed out neutral and undecided responses, you can use an even
numbered scale with no middle "neutral" or "undecided" choice. In this situation,
the respondent is forced to decide whether he or she leans more towards the "agree"
42
Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF SAN PABLO CITY
or "disagree" end of the scale for each item. The final score for the respondent on the
scale might be the sum of his or her ratings for all of the items.
DIRECT MAIL
Direct mailing your survey to people whose addresses are known is the most
common strategy. Distributing a survey by mail has a high percentage of non-
responders (you're lucky if 30% respond, although it tends to be higher in small
communities), but it's a lot easier than many other methods and takes less staff
hours.
DROP BOXES
43
Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF SAN PABLO CITY
Agencies that have relatively frequent contact with clients -- such as once a month -
- you may find that setting up a drop box in their offices are a good source point for
distributing surveys. This may also be a good option for agencies that have an
incomplete mailing list. It can also be a good way to contact clients of other agencies
who have little contact with your group or agency. However, if you use this method
of distributing surveys, consider using it along with at least one other method of
distribution, because only those already using the services can respond.
MEDIA DISTRIBUTION
For general distribution, publishing a survey in the local paper or attaching a survey
to your newsletter might be a good idea.
CONVENIENCE SAMPLING
Taking surveys in a public place -- setting up a booth or table in the parking lot at a
local discount store, on the sidewalk in the shopping district, etc. -- provides an
opportunity to get some exposure for your organization.
Now that you've gathered the completed surveys, you'll need to figure out the
results. Sometimes all you have to do is tabulate the results -- that is, add them
up and display in a table.
However, analysis can be far more complicated than that. If you're looking, for
instance, at how people feel about a service or problem, you may end up with a lot
of answers to open-ended questions that are apparently unrelated. In this case, you
will need to try to find patterns. Once you've done that, what do these numbers
44
Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF SAN PABLO CITY
mean? Well, you will need to look at the overall survey to see how each percentage
compares to the others.
For example, what questions had the highest proportions of similar responses?
Write up a brief report -- one page is sufficient – summarizing the results of the
survey. In your report, look for any patterns -- do people in a particular part of town
feel more strongly about a particular issue than those in other areas?
Share this information with your staff. Get their feedback and discuss whether any
further surveying needs to be done before completing.
ACTIVITY 1. Arrange in proper order the steps in a Survey Process. Number the steps
from 1 to 12.
ACTIVITY 2. Explain what you are going to do in each of the steps in the

between categories of data. It displays grouped data by way of parallel rectangular
bars of equal width but varying the length. Each rectangular block indicates specific
category and the length of the bars depends on the values they hold. The bars in a
bar graph are presented in such a way that they do not touch each other, to indicate

the survey. Most survey reports follow a standard organization, broken up under
certain headings. Each section has a specific purpose. It presents and analyses the
results /findings of research (information gathered from door-to-door
surveys/questionnaires) concerning reactions to a product, plan, etc., including
