NSTP THE HUMAN PERSON 1.

Conservatism - The conservative view is not entirely positive and definitely non- egalitarian. Some men contribute more than others to society, and therefore, must be rewarded and honored by society.

2.

Liberalism- has a more egalitarian view of human nature. It believes that all men are capable of reason and rational action and have the capacity to live satisfactory and productive lives if given the opportunity

Estanol(2007) defines the human person as having physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual attributes. Dictionaries define the human person as a “self-concious animal” St. Thomas Aquinas describes the human person as having physical and spiritual substance because he/she has a soul and is created by a Superior being with a divine purpose. CHARACTERISTICS OF A HUMAN PERSON Babor(2007) in his book, The Human Person: Not Real, But Existing, discusses the several characteristics of a human person, namely: 1. A human person is a rational being. 2. A human person is born free. 3. A human person is unique. 4. Every person is intrinsically a social being and cannot detach himself/herself from other creatures in the universe. 5. All living things are sexual by nature, but the uniqueness of expression of a person’s sexuality makes him/her different. BIBLICAL VIEWS The human person has superiority and dignity inherited from the Supreme Being. According to Genesis 1:26-27, God created man and woman in His own image and likeness and made them masters of the fish of the sea, the birds, the heaven, the earth, the wild beasts, all the reptiles that crawl upon the earth.

Agbuya(1997) states that “He/She (human person) is designated by God to exercise dominion over other creatures in his/her everyday use of freedom, search for happiness, and openness to the world around him/her.

3. Socialism – the human being readily engages in cooperative social activities when given the opportunity. Marx believes that man is driven primarily by desire for economic gains. In his Das Kapital, he considers the human person as a social animal. 4. Fascism- holds that what matters most is the country itself. The human being can prosper only when the nation prospers; his/her fate is merely secondary when it comes to the country. CLASSICAL GREEK VIEWS The early classical Greeks define the human person as “a rational animal.” An animal’s vegetative sensory and rational element is integrated within his/her being; thus he/she is a material(body) and spiritual(soul) being. 1.

As a vegetative creature, the human person needs to have food to grow, develop, and reproduce.

2.

As a sentient being, he/she perceptions to gain knowledge.

3.

As a rational animal, he/she needs the power of thought, reason, and cognition.

sensory

SOCIOLOGICAL VIEWS Salcedo(2004) states that people look at this social world or at the various ways that human beings behave in a social way.

PHILOSOPHICAL VIEWS According to Protagoras , a human person is the measure of all things that exist and of all things that do not exist.

San Juan(2007) proposes some common ideas about the human person. These are the following: 1.

Human persons are social animals.

2.

The human person’s social behavior is learned, not instinctive.

Parmenides posited that a person has knowledge of something that exists, for a person who does not exist is nothing.

3.

To understand the human person’s social behavior, we have to focus or attention on the groups to which people belong.

Maguigad(2006) in his book, Philosophy of the Human Being, explains the different philosophical views of the person. These are the following:

4. Sociology is a discipline that looks into the totality of relationship in an individual’s life.

Plato claimed that the perfect human being does not exist in this world because what is in this world is just an imperfect copy of humanity’s original self in the realm of ideas.

NSTP MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS



Values are both subjective and objective. They involve a subject or person who values (e.g., a young girl) and an object or value to be realized (e.g., pagkamahinhin).

Maslow presented the levels of hierarchy of needs in his theory of personality. 1.

Physiological needs include the biological and basic needs such as water and clothing. These needs are immensely because they are essential for survival.

2.

Safety needs include security and protection from physical and emotional harm.

3.

Difference between value and disvalue FILIPINO VALUES

Social needs include affection, sense of belonging, and friendship, which people seek to overcome feelings of loneliness and alienation.

4.

Self-esteem needs include achievement, mastery, and confidence derived from recognition, respect, and attention.

5.

Self-actualization means a person has reached the peak of his/her potential.

According to Roger’s person-centered therapy theory, every person has within him/ her an inherent desire for a positive transformation and the development of his/her capacities. He/she possesses an innate goodness no matter how imprudent his/her actions are.

Chapter 3

The Filipino values system arises from our culture or way of life, our distinctive way of becoming human in this particular place and time. We speak of Filipino values in fourfold sense. The Filipino values in fourfold sense It is obvious that certain values take on distinctively Filipino flavor for us. 1.

The Greek ideal of moderation or meden agan, the roman in medio stat virtus, and the confucian and buddist doctrine of the middle way or path, find their filipino equivalent in walang labis, walang kulang, or katamtaman lamang.

2. Speaking of Filipino values, we do not mean that elements of these Filipino values are absent in the values systems of other peoples and cultures.

The preamble In 1987 the constitution states; according to ( De leon et …,al 2001). We the sovereign Filipino people imploring the aid of almighty god, in order to build a just and humane society and establish a government that shall embody our ideas and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony, and secure to our prosperity the blessings of the independence and democracy under the rule of law and regime of the truth, justice freedom love equality and peace do ordain and promulgate this constitution. Preamble It refers to an introductory and preliminary statement in the document that explains the document’s purpose and underlying philosophy.



Philosophy of values Understanding the philosophy of human values is necessary in understanding Filipino values such as family closeness and solidarity (pagkamalapit at pagakaakisa ng pamilya), politeness (pagkamagalang with the used of po and opo o ho), hospitality and gratitude(utang na loob).

3. Universally, human values in the Filipino context (historical, cultural, socio-economic, political, moral and religious) take on distinctive set of Filipino meanings and motivation. Example: Fr. Horacio de la Costa – Filipino “nationalistic” tradition (pagsasarili, pagkakaisa, pakikisama, pagkabayani and pakikipagkapwa) 4.Filipino values like bahala na, utang na loob, hiya, pakikisama, and pakiusap are clustered around core values like social acceptance, economic security and social mobility. Good Citizenship Values 1. Love for God or Pagkamaka – Diyos The Philippines is the only Christian nation is Asia, our population being predominantly catholic. Therefore, religiousness is a prime Filipino value. Faith is deeply rooted to a divine creator and believing in his authority over all creations. 2. Love for Fellowmen or Pagkamaka – Tao St. paul defines love in different way; love is patient, it never fails, it is eternal. There are faith, hope, and love and the greatest of these love (1 corinthians 13).

NSTP 3. Love for Country or Pagkamaka – Bayan Progressive countries are able to attain their economic goals because the people have trust and confidence in their governments are actively supporting their policies and programs. 4. Love for the Environment or Pagkamaka– Kalikasan Environment refers to everything that surrounds us from the natural world to the man – made physical structures. Human interventions are important to derive the full benefits from the natural resources, but such interventions have at times gone beyond the limits of domain reserved from human utilization. Values in the sense of historical consciousness had evolved among the Filipino people, leading to the concept of justice evolving from inequality to equality and to human dignity. Example: The perspective in historian period, that question to ask about Filipino values is: Ganito kami noon: paano kayo ngayon? ROOTS OF THE FILIPINO CHARACTER The strengths and weaknesses of the Filipino have the roots in any factors such as; 1.

4.

THE FAMILY AND HOME ENVIRONMENT  Child-bearing practices, family relations and family attitudes and orientation are the main components of the home environment.  In an authoritarian setting, we learn to respect for age and authority; at the same time, we become passive and dependent on authority.

THE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT  The main components of the social environment are social structures and social systems such as interpersonal, religious and community interaction.  There is a feudal structure with great gaps between the rich minority and the poor majority.

CULTURE AND LANGUAGE  Filipino cultural values such as warmth and person orientation, devotion to family and sense of joy and humor are part of our culture. And strengthening by socializing forces like the family, school and peer group.

HISTORY  We are the product of our colonial history, which is regarded by many as the culprit

behind our lack of nationalism and our colonial mentality. 5.

EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM  The lack of suitable textbooks and dependence on foreign textbooks, particularly in the higher school levels, force Filipino students as well as their teachers to use school materials that are irrelevant to the Philippine setting.

6. RELIGION  Religion is the root of the Filipino’s optimism and capacity to accept life’s hardships. However, religion also instills in us attitudes of resignation and preoccupation with the afterlife and superstitions. 7. THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT  Many local traits are rooted in the poverty and hard life that is the lot of most Filipinos. Our difficulties drive us to take risks, impel us to work very hard and develop in the ability to survive.

8. THE POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT  The Philippine political environment is characterized by a centralization of power. Political a power or authority is concentrated in the hands of the elite and the participation of most Filipinos often is limited to voting in elections. 9. MASS MEDIA  Mass media reinforce our colonial mentality. Advertisements using Caucasian models and emphasizing a product’s similarity with imported brands are part of our daily lives. 10.LEADERSHIP AND ROLE MODELS  Filipinos look up to their leaders as role models. Political leaders are the main models, but all other leaders serve as role models as well. NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM NATIONALISM Is the attitude of the members of a nation which includes the concepts of national identity, origin, ethnicity and cultural ties.

NSTP Is the action that the members of a nation take when seeking to achieve or sustain full statehood with complete authority over domestic and international affairs. PATRIOTISM The love of and devotion to one’s country The word “patriotism” comes from the Greek word “patris” meaning “fatherland”. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Life Transformation Guide, states that success requires an articulated goal. -Wells (2012) in his book Seven Simple Steps

Encyclopedia Britannica (2012) states that human beings have a typical life course that consists of successive phases of growth, each of which is characterized by a distinct set of physical, physiological, and behavioral features.

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Human Development or Development psychology is a field of study that attempts to describe and explain the changes in human cognitive, emotional, and behavioral capabilities and functioning over the entire life.
