SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY LEARNING ACTIVITY 5 HUMAN FLOURISHING NAME: Niña Kristine Alysa G. Diaz

SCORE:

COURSE/SECTION: BS Accountancy 1-4

DATE: January 4, 2022

1. Form small groups among your classmates or members of the family (composed of 3-5 members) then answer the following questions. Write down the summary of the different responses obtained from group members. a. What do you value most in life? How does this contribute to happiness and meaning in your life? (5 points)

Almost all the members of my family have the same answers to this question. What we value the most are our families, friends, and special someone, because they are the ones on whom we can rely and whom we can confide in about our problems and concerns. My brother said that seeing his family and friends is happiness for him. My boyfriend said that another thing that contributes to happiness and meaning in his life is memories. He wants to make a lot of memories as much as he can so that he will have a lot of things to remember. Also, for me, life wouldn’t be meaningful and full of color without my family and loved ones, and I wouldn’t find a reason to continue in life.

b. What are the indicators of success in life? (5points) Indicators of success in life vary from person to person. For me, having high grades is one of the indicators of success in my life. I always want to make my family proud, and I think studying hard is one way I can make them proud. For my boyfriend, things that indicate that he is successful in life are being able to provide for the needs and wants of his family, having a large amount of income without working, and making his name known by doing good things for humanity. One thing that three of us have in common is that seeing our loved ones happy and being with them is also an indicator of success in our lives.

c. List down the important things in life and categorize them based on your priority. (5points) For me, God comes first. For my brother, taking care of himself is the most important thing. For my boyfriend, basic needs like having food, shelter, and clothes are the most important. What I have noticed is that we all have family on our list of important things in life.

d. What role do your relationships with others have in the development of meaning in your life? (5points)

Having a deep and meaningful relationship with others makes us happy, and it gives us better mental health. It also improves our self-confidence. Relationships have significant effects on the development of meaning in our lives. My brother stated that when he met his significant other. She influenced the development of my meaning in his life. She gave him purpose in life through the means of loving her, creating unforgettable memories with her, planning for the future and a lot more.

2. Make a reflection by sharing your insights/ideas on the “purpose of life”. Write your insights on the space provided below. (10 points) “Aristotle teachers that each man’s life has a purpose and that the function of one’s life is to attain that purpose. He explains that the purpose of life is earthly happiness or flourishing that can be achieved via reason and the acquisition of virtue.” (Younkins, 2003) Retrieved from http://www.quebecoislibre.org/031122-11.htm

My Reflection

As for me, the purpose of life is to be able to do what you really want and be happy with it without worrying about what others will think or say. They say that we only live once, and I think that to be able to live your life to the fullest, you should achieve the dream you really want, not what your parents would want for you. Wear what makes you comfortable, eat what you crave, be with someone who makes you happy, and remove toxic people from your life. Do everything that makes you happy, and I think that is the purpose of life. If it makes you happy, then no one else’s opinion should matter. Of course, there’s a certain limitation to that. We should still observe our actions and behavior and do everything with virtue....
