Abstract:
The Filipino community is confronted by a
number of social issues that may possibly be due to changing
times, which may consequently affect the awareness or
acceptance to such issues. This quantitative-qualitative study
used survey and interview questionnaires to describe the degree
of liberalness of the 209 senior high school students of a Catholic
institution on social issues like environment, same-sex marriage,
taxes, welfare and war on terrorism. After using non-parametric
tests and topical/thematic approach, findings revealed that
respondents had high degree of liberalness to the mentioned
social issues. Using Kruskal-Wallis, there was no significant
difference between religion, ethnicity and degree of liberalness
but there was a significant difference when the respondents were
grouped according to strand. Using Mann-Whitney U-Test, there
was no significant differences between sex and degree of
liberalness. Therefore, students from a Catholic institution had
high degree of openness and acceptance on the mentioned issues.
