buhay devcom: development-oriented unpacked.
For starters, the term “development-oriented” may seem a little challenging to define. With that, I had a chat with Jordan Cabarles, an upper class student from Batch 13.
Here’s what he has to say.
First, it must raise social issues and should elicit solutions. Development-oriented topics must discuss both the problem and the solution. Today, social issues are prevalent. We see these problems everywhere. With that, it is important to raise awareness and understanding to these problems. However, it does not stop with just acknowledging the problem. We must also elicit and conduct these solutions.
Second, it must involve human development. Jordan describes human development as encouraging people to live up to their fullest potentials. Human development promotes growth of people. This means that everyone can progress and become the best versions of themselves.
Lastly, it must encourage community development and participation. Development-oriented topics involve community development which means members of the community work together to provide solution to existing problems. It also involves participation which means there must be a collaboration and teamwork with groups.
