For this module exam then, we will try to test your ability to demonstrate the ultimate outcome for the first module, i.e., critically discuss historical developments in science and technology and how these developments interact with and affect society in general and Philippine nation-building in particular. Needless to say, we will try to also cover Lesson 4 of Module 1 in this assessment by zooming in on infectious-disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics response in relation to a very recent event that will surely be written in books about the history of science and technology in our country - the historical development of CoViD-19 in the Philippines. It is hoped that you have indeed learned the value of knowledge of history. I will test your capability to reflect on history through this. Write a five-paragraph, no-upper-or-lower-word-limit essay about one critical event in the timeline of detection, spread, response, and mitigation of infectious-disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics in the Philippines. The essay has to do two things: (a) narrate the critical event in the timeline which you are going to choose, and (b) reflect on the event and try to answer these questions: What can governments, agencies, and/or individuals learn from the history of infectious-disease outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics response in the Philippines? Based on how things turn and are turning out to be, what can Filipinos, e.g., the government and the people, learn from history and how can we do better in the future in terms of science and technology? Paragraph 1 (Introduction) - Pick a critical event in the timeline of infectious-disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics in the Philippines. You will need to read and study the policy paper from UP National College of Public Administration and Governance (UPNCPAG) - https://www.ncpag.upd.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/covid19response.pdf. Out of the many infectious-disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics, just choose one event you consider critical where you think the government, politicians, institutions, or the people could have done better and narrate how that event transpired. Note: This is the historical perspective of your essay. Use the relevant reference/s entry in the policy paper. The last sentence in this paragraph should give an overview of the three things learned about the event, without any explanation yet. Paragraph 2 (Body 1) - Discuss the first insight/learning about the chosen critical event. Explain the part where we could have done better in handling the health issue, too. Of course, all arguments have to be related to science and technology. Paragraph 3 (Body 2) - Discuss the second insight/learning about the chosen critical event. Explain the part where we could have done better in handling the health crisis. Paragraph 4 (Body 3) - Discuss the third insight/learning about the chosen critical event. Explain the part where we could have done better in handling the health crisis. Paragraph 5 (Conclusion) - Summarize all the insights/learnings you presented/argued and close your essay by reflecting on the ultimate question, i.e., How can the government, agencies, and people do better in the future? The author of the policy paper provided essential ways to remedy the fundamental ills of the Philippine health system beyond the requisites of dealing with emergency situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. These recommendations are aimed at building an inclusive, just, and equitable health system that will help us look forward to a “new and better normal” for all. In the context of Science and Technology, add a recommendation that will address the perennial problem in our health systems that will improve our response to infectious-disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics. Note that you do not have to focus on all stakeholders in your essay. For example, if you want to focus your essay on an event pertaining to a decision by the health department, then all your insights and reflections will also be focused on the same individual, group, agency, or the government in general.
