feel determined to accomplish and
pursue what they desire, as they will
not be discriminated based on what
they are and what they do.

your choices will no longer be a
concern for the person.

3 EFFECTS TO THE
ORGANIZATION WHEN EQUALITY
BECOMES THE PRIORITY
When equality becomes the priority, it will
benefit the business as they can work more
efficiently and effectively together as the
productivity level of the workers will increase

working relationship among them.
ABREEN NICAH BUHIA
INSIGHTS ON HOW PEOPLE FEEL
ABOUT CULTURE AND EQUALITY
Culture can sometime be sensitive when
in terms of equality. There are still
practices in culture that are very gender
sensitive and still treat it as a norm.
Respect should be given unless harm is
made.
Sometimes culture can be a barrier in
achieving equality. Not all agree-
especially to those who still live in strict
cultural norms- in bending or changing
the culture that affects the values of
people.
DISCUSSION Proper coordination on what to retain and
QUESTIONS
what to change should be made in culture
that shows inequality especially to
gender roles. We live in a world where
everyone has their own rights, this should
be considered as well.

EDRIAN CLIFF DEL PILAR
INSIGHTS ON HOW PEOPLE FEEL
ABOUT CULTURE AND EQUALITY
Sometimes there are people who
view themselves on a higher level
from someone else. This is popular
especially in terms of gender.
An understanding mindset is needed
when you need to embrace equality.
Different cultures have different
views even. And it takes reaching out
and removing the prejudice to be
able to get along with others well
and equally.
DISCUSSION Equality is fair treatment for people
QUESTIONS
in every facet of life regardless of
gender, race, disability, religion,
nationality, sexual orientation, or
age.

working relationships will be more
productive, engaged, and focused,
It will be a safe and engaging

3 EFFECTS TO THE
ORGANIZATION WHEN EQUALITY
BECOMES THE PRIORITY
When equality is prioritized in an
organization, it would lead to an
organization that is open for
constructive criticism. The
differences of people would help the
organization recognize the different
points of view of people in an
organizational issue. The idea of a
superiority complex would be out of
hand, and all the employees would
be well-grounded. Everyone would

learn from each other, and they
would all improve.
QUESTIONS
VICCEL JOHN LIBRADILLA
INSIGHTS ON HOW PEOPLE FEEL
ABOUT CULTURE AND EQUALITY
With equality, people feel accepted,
empowered, and free.
Equality culture opens a door for
everyone to be themselves because
they belong. Since everyone is
treated as equal, everyone is not
afraid to express themselves without
being judged because everybody is
different and unique in their own
ways.
DISCUSSION
People never sense inferiority in a
group. Equality makes everyone feel
QUESTIONS
that they are part of a one group
where they are accepted and
respected.
CZARINA MARTURILLAS
3 EFFECTS TO THE
ORGANIZATION WHEN EQUALITY
BECOMES THE PRIORITY
The organization becomes
harmonious since respect exists in
the group that results from the
equality culture.
Working in the organization becomes
fun, easier, and more productive
because people feel comfortable
because they are accepted. They
become more creative and more
innovative.
DISCUSSION Brainstorming becomes more fruitful
because everyone can be asked with
QUESTIONS opinions. Everyone has their own
story to tell since each has diverse
backgrounds and experience.

EXERCISE 2.2
Since the pandemic, we started creating a new normal
for society to cope with the changing system. External
factors such as economic, demographic, and technological
components are in need of reimagination. Such that, when
the pandemic started every transaction, work and business
opted to shift online as to continue the business which
helped the country’s economy. The economic component
should be reimagined as it was greatly affected by the
pandemic and businesses were closing as people didn’t
know how to cope with the new normal. Also, demographic,
and technological, as we know that older generations have
a challenging time browsing through the internet,
companies should cater their services that would be
accessible for every age whilst being technologically
advanced. As for the internal factors, companies should
reimagine technological resources, capital/financial and
human resources. These three factors go hand in hand
especially during these times. With society being
technologically advanced it takes funding to keep up with
it and human resources to be able to perform these tasks
ACTION
effectively. With the pandemic, we left behind the
traditional way of doing business in the country. LEARNING
EXERCISE 2.2
Reimagining these factors, both external and internal,
would help our economy as jobs and businesses will be
available in this new normal.
Identify at least 3 external factors and 3
internal factors that the companies need
to reimagine given the changes that the
pandemic created. Include a brief

EXERCISE 2.3
(a) The geocentric strategy is the best way to deal with
it because it comprises finding the best people to fill key
positions on a global or regional scale. Many of these
individuals will be third-country nationals, or citizens of
countries other than the host country or the firm's home
country. This is advantageous and practical for my
company because those in charge of business management
and transactions are from the same country where my
ACTION
company is currently located and are already familiar with
how to run a business that can adapt to changing
economic rules in their country.

SOCIAL PROBLEMS EXISTING IN LOCAL COMMUNITY:
1. Poor waste management that contributes to land and
water pollution
2. Drug or substance abuse in several homes
3. Homeless people loitering in streets
4. Teenage pregnancy
5. Health crisis due to the presence of COVID-19 virus
6. Lack of access to quality education for children
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SOLUTION THROUGH SOCIAL
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Becoming a social entrepreneur is doing ethical
entrepreneurship that seeks novel ways to solve social
problems. In our local community, several social problems
exist, and these include lack of access to quality education
for children. These children do not have enough resources
ACTION
such as pencils, papers, books, or even uniform or clothes
to wear. Through social entrepreneurship, we can deal with
it through selling preloved items online since this type of
LEARNING
business quickly earns a lot.
EXERCISE 2.4
CZARINA MARTURILLAS BECOMING A SOCIAL
ENTREPRENEUR
HOW WILL WE ABLE TO EARN A LIVING WAGE FROM THIS VENTURE
WHILE STILL DOING GOOD?
Thrift selling requires small capital especially when you have the
materials to sell like clothes, accessories, books, and other
useful items. Moreover, there are several dealers for preloved
items that offer a low price with excellent quality. Other than
that, we can encourage volunteers to donate their items or sell
them at an exceptionally low price. With this, we can generate
more income for the purchase of school supplies. With the low
capital required for high quality items, we can sell it at a higher
price enough to obtain a budget for living expenses and for the
cause. To add a taste of fun in the business, we can incorporate
twists in selling such as raffle draws, trivia questions, and even
discounts. The business alone can sustain everyday needs such
as food, rent, water, and electricity. Moreover, promoting the
cause of the business can attract more buyers and may invite
individuals who wish to become partners in providing school
supplies for the children. To make the business continue, we can
ACTION
promote our cause by documentation so that people will really
appreciate their own efforts of supporting the business. With
this, more people will discover the selling business and it may
LEARNING
obtain more individuals or groups to continue supporting the
children for their education.

gender data across all levels of our organization, allowing a

According to their website, here are some of their 2020 report
highlights:
We made strides toward our commitment to increase Black
representation across the company by 20% by 2023. To date, we’ve
made positive progress in all salaried levels, including a nearly 25%
increase among our officers. And we’ll continue our focus on
systemic changes to advance and retain our Black team members
over the next three years.
Our workforce’s diversity remained steady since the last report; 50%
of our team members and 25% of our leadership team are people of
color. And 58% of our team members and 50% of our leadership
team are women.
We maintained our industry-leading representation within our board
of directors; one third of its members are women and nearly half are
Latino or Black.
Our team is already using the 2020 report data to help us make the
Bullseye experience even better for our teams. That includes adding
new opportunities for team members to advance in their careers and
understanding and addressing gaps to make sure our entire team has
equitable experiences.

inclusive workforce by 2030.
