Discussion

As members of the society, people are naturally obligated to participate in a political system
as social citizens. As citizens, people become aware of their duties and responsibilities that should
empower them to participate in state and political affairs. Politics refers to the actions or activities
concerned with achieving and using power in a nation or society. It is also defined as the ways that
power is shared in an organization and the ways it is affected by personal relationships between
people who work together. Aristotle stated that “man is by nature a political animal.” This is
because man is a social being and that people are naturally drawn to various political involvements
in order to satisfy their social needs.

Politics as imbibed by man implies several things. First, politics is concerned with power. Power
inequalities can be observed within societies. There are individuals whose position ranks high in the
social hierarchy, and thus wields much power compared to those in the lower class. The one who
holds power influence. Second, politics functions based on a particular social economic and cultural
context. The nature of politics and political systems is dependent on the culture of the state. The
characteristics of people, their cultural traditions and value orientations, economics, education,
religion, and other similar institutions shape the political landscape of any country. Political claims
made by advocates are influenced by their geographical location and ideology. Third, the political is
also personal. One’s personal choices reflect his or her personal politics; both are indistinguishable.
A person is likely to make personal choices and beliefs that are consistent with his or her personal
politics. Lastly, politics goes hand in hand with the society. The society consists of people living
together in organized communities with shared laws, traditions and values. Politics pervades the
structure of society, and thus influences inhabitants in their beliefs, ethics and behavior.

However, the political self is not only shaped by one’s political affiliation or beliefs. Everyone is
naturally inclined to have choices and reactions to political events happening in their countries but
this is not enough. The political self is anchored on the inclination to participate in political activities
that should serve the interests of all sectors of the society. One’s sense of accountability should be
manifested in promoting certain advocacies through healthy political engagement. This is aligned
2
COURSE MODULE MODULE WEEK NO. 13
with the concept of active citizenship.

Active Citizenship
Active citizenship has been a popular topic for researches across several disciplines. It refers to the
structured forms of engagement with political processes and everyday forms of participation in
society. It is not merely voting for government officials, attending certain institutional activities, or
availing of government benefits or services. Active citizenship is defined as the process of sharing
decisions which affect one’s life and the life of a community in which one lives. It is the means by
which a democracy is built and it is the standard against which democracies should be measured.
Participation is the fundamental right of citizenship.

Active citizenship is anchored on one’s cognitive and behavioral engagement to participate in

formal and informal political activities. Different people manifest different levels of active
citizenship; some they take a more active approach in making their voices heard. These particular
approaches include participation in organized movements (rallies, public, assemblies, mobilizations,
and demonstrations which are rooted to a particular cause). Second, active citizenship is a practice
of democracy. Democracy should not only be thought of as a form of government. It is a communal
system that allows volitional freedom of citizens to make informed choices that allow them to be
heard. Third, active citizenship is a social construct. It fosters social relatedness and belongingness.
Advocacies are not only anchored or personal standpoints; it also affects other people within defined
boundaries, just as how advocacies have an impact on beliefs and behaviors. Lastly, the most
important goal of active citizenship is to instill change and influence society at large.

Most adolescents believe that they do not have the power to inspire change or that they are not heard
which discourages them from speaking up. However, adolescents and the youth in general should
not forget that they are the future leaders of the country. The advantage of the youth is their zeal and
optimism in effecting change for the country. Youth participation should not be the exception but
rather the norm. In politics in which older individuals seem to dominate, youth participation is ideal
so that the younger generation will have a legitimate participation in raising issues and concerns that
impact the society in general.

Active citizenship is also associated with the “sense of community.” People, including adolescents,
participate in communal activities because it gives a sense of belonging in a particular group. The
sense of community people feel with their geographical and cultural roots also persuades them to do
something for their respective communities, especially in the context of community groups
considered to be a minority. Active citizenship may facilitate ethnic pride and provide a voice to the
woes of their social group.

For the younger generation, active citizenship can contribute to their social development.
Opportunities to participate in such activities can make adolescents aware of issues, challenges and
concerns that plague communities and the society, which may lead to supporting and upholding
advocacies for reforms. Engaging in such activities can also enhance efficacy and competence of the
younger generation, as they are considered to be the “future leaders” of society. The youth of today
has several tools at their fingertips to initiate social change, which can be considered as their
advantage because unlike other generations, they are known for their technological savviness. The
participation of the youth in nation-building activities enhances their value orientation and fosters
integrity, compassion, and the sense of justice, which are crucial to the holistic development of a
citizen of a nation.

COURSE MODULE MODULE WEEK NO. 13

The is self is a dynamic construct that is shaped by external forces and personal factors. Active
citizenship helps an individual embrace his or her individuality through the choices he or she makes
and the behaviors he or she manifests. Early exposure to politics and political systems may augment
an adolescent’s development of his or her sense of self. This exposure fosters critical thinking,
advocacy formation, comprehension and awareness of social issues.

The political self is a result of various personal and environmental factors that impact the individual.
The political identity does not begin only when one reaches the age of voting. Together with active
citizenship, awareness of community concerns may lead to optimal development of strong,
intelligent and passionate community leaders and youth participants. Thus, there is no such thing as
a right time to start becoming involved in the society. Youth participation in political activities can
strengthen individual and collective standpoints, allowing them to be heard by the general public,
and ensuring a strong, stable state, shaped by a strong, stable citizenry. As adolescence is a time of
searching for identity and establishing a core self, upholding active citizenship, becoming aware of
issues pervading society, engaging in political discourse, and other similar activities can shape the
youth to become effective agents of change. The participation of the youth in political discourse and
social activities can result in cultural and political paradigm shifts that may be felt even by future
generations. Thus, the future begins now.

Filipino Values and Times

The Philippines is a lush island paradise famous for its grandiose mountain views, pristine beaches,
and rich and diverse culture changing from province to province. While the Philippines may be well
known for its awe-inspiring beauty, perhaps the Filipinos’ unique traits, reputable values, and
laudable talents make the country a place to be.

 The Filipino Hospitality

A Filipino trait that is known everywhere is the Filipino’s brand of hospitality. Filipinos
welcome their guests and tourists as if they are their own brothers and sisters; they always
make their guests feel at home, offering them something to eat, or even a place to stay. They
will bring out their best sets of plates and chinaware for their honored guests and would even
go as far as spending a lot of money and going into debt just so they can satisfy them. In
most local shops, Filipino salespersons will greet their customers with warm welcome and
say thank you when they leave even without buying anything. Filipinos also anticipate
giving tours to friends who will visit their hometown and treating them to the best
restaurants and delicate for free. During festivals or fiestas, Filipinos serve heaps to festive
food and invite the whole barangay over. They are also fond of giving pasalubong or tokens
from their travels and pabaon or farewell gifts to their visitors.

 Respect for Elders

Filipinos greet their elders by kissing their hand while saying “Mano po!” and constantly
using “po” and “opo” in conversations. Forgetting to address older people properly will
regard them as rude and impolite. There is also a wide array of references to elder people
such as ate for older sister; kuya for older brother; Tito and Tita for uncle and aunt,
respectively; Lolo and Lola for grandfather and grandmother; Manong and Aling for older
people outside the family.

4
COURSE MODULE MODULE WEEK NO. 13
 Close Family Ties
Filipinos maintain a tight relationship with their families regardless if the children are old
enough and already have families of their own. They are also fond of family reunions during
birthdays, holidays or fiestas year-round. Some Filipino families even opt to live in a big
house where everyone can stay together. Nursing homes are almost always not an option for
family members and choose to take care of their elders themselves.

 Cheerful Personality
Filipinos have a habit of smiling and laughing a lot. They smile when they are happy, or
sometimes even when they are sad or angry. Smiling has been a coping strategy for many
Filipinos especially during trying times and calamities. For instance, Filipinos smile and
wave at the camera while being interviewed even after a fire or flooding incident. They
always try to maintain a positive outlook in life which makes them resilient and able to
manage almost everything with a simple smile.

 Self-sacrifice
The self-sacrificing attitude of Filipinos can be seen as an extension of the Filipino
hospitality. Filipinos go out of their way to extend help to their friends, families and loved
ones. They wish comfort and better lives for their loved ones and would even go to the
extent of working abroad hundreds of miles away to earn more money and save up for them.
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) sacrifice a lot; that is why they are regarded as the
modern day Filipino heroes. There are also times when the eldest among the children of the
family would give up school to work and provide for the rest of the family and educate his or
her siblings.

 Bayanihan
Bayahnihan is the spirit of communal unity and cooperation of Filipinos. It s also about
giving without expecting something in return. Filipinos are always ready to share and help
their friends and loved ones who are in need. It may not always be in monetary form, but the
time and effort they give also count as a form of help for them. This trait is particularly
manifested in how Filipinos rally themselves to send aid to those who are severely affected
by natural calamities.

 “Bahala Na” Attitude

“Bahala na” is the Filipino version of the famous line “Hakuna Matata,” meaning no
worries. The phrase is said to have originated from “Bathala na,” where Bathala means
God, and the phrase meaning leaving everything into God’s hands. It can also be viewed as
something similar to the cheerful and positive attitude of Filipinos and allowing situations
take care of themselves instead of worrying about them

 Colonial Mentality
Colonial mentality is regarded as the lack of patriotism and the attitude where Filipinos favor
foreign products more than their own. This does not only concern goods, but also the desire
to look more foreign than local and keep up with foreign beauty trends. It is attributed to the
centuries of colonization Filipinos had experienced under the Spanish, American and
5
COURSE MODULE MODULE WEEK NO. 13
Japanese rule.

 “Mañana” Habit
This is the Filipino term for procrastination. It was derived from a longer Filipino phrase
called “Mamaya na” meaning dawdling things, which could have been done at an earlier
time. It is a poor habit of laziness that results in heavier workloads.

 “Ningas Kugon”
“Ningas” is a Filipino term for flame and “kugon” is a Filipino term for Cogon grass that
easily burns our after it is put into flames. NIngas kugon refers to the attitude of eagerly
starting things but quickly losing eagerness soon after experiencing difficulty, just like how
fast the fire of a Cogon grass burns out moments after being ignited. Laziness is a common
problem among Filipinos; that is why Filipinos are regarded as “Juan Tamad” or Lazy Juan.

 Pride
Most Filipinos hold on to their pride as if they are more precious than keeping a good
relationship with family and loved ones. When two parties are not in good terms, they find it
so hard to apologize and wait until other party asks for an apology first.

 Crab Mentality
This is a toxic trait among Filipinos where one resents the achievement of another, instead of
feeling happy for that person. Just like crabs in a container, they pull each other down and
ruin each other’s reputation rather than bringing them up, resulting to no progress. Filipinos
should change this troublesome attitude and focus more on their own inadequacies to
improve one’s self.

 Filipino Time
Filipinos have this common attitude of arriving late of commitments, dinner or parties
especially if they are meeting someone close to them. They tend to not observe punctuality
altogether.

How to be a Good Filipino

Now you know that your traits and values are important indicators of being a Filipino. The problem
now is how to truly become one and how you can be useful to the development and progress of our
country. The following are a few ways or how to be a good Filipino:

1. Be an active Filipino citizen.

A good Filipino citizen is aware of the current events and participates in government
programs that aim for the country’s progression and development. By simply exercising your
right to vote, you also become an active citizen. When it comes to voting, the rich and the
poor have equal voting rights --- every Filipino citizen of legal age have a chance in
choosing the right leaders for the Philippines who are genuine in helping and caring for the
Filipino people.

2. Study the Philippine History

The road of the Philippine history is long and bloody, and by learning and fully
understanding the events of the Philippine history, you will learn so much as to why it is so
important for you to love your country with your life, extend help to you fellow Filipinos in
6
COURSE MODULE MODULE WEEK NO. 13
need, and recognize abuse of political power.

3. Support Local Products

When you buy local products, you do not only support local manufacturers and businessmen,
but you also help strengthen the local economy. How is this so? There will be more demand
of local products, thus, local businesses will be in need for more employees, which will open
new job opportunities. The business owners will also invest within the country and are less
likely to leave. Supporting our local products also displays our creativity, innovativeness and
resourcefulness.

4. Speak the Filipino Language

The history of the Filipino language was as long and hard as the Philippine history. Jose
Rizal highlighted the importance of speaking a national language as a way of displaying the
love for one’s country. Speaking Filipino also serves as a unique identifier of being a
Filipino. It has been a decade-long debate whether to use Filipino as the instructional
language in school and to translate textbooks into Filipino, however, this is still not strictly
imposed.

5. Do not spread fake news and be democratic in engaging with dissent

This period in the history of the Philippines has seen how the Internet has spawned tons of
possibilities for people, both good and bad. For instance, it is easier for Filipinos working
abroad to communicate with their loved ones left in the Philippines through the Internet.
Despite this, the Internet has also made the spread of fake news very common. Likewise, the
Internet has also made us engage in intense arguments with people across the globe about
our political positions, for example. It is a part of being a good Filipino to understand and
verify what your read online, especially in social media, before actually believing in it and
spreading it like wildfire. It is also the responsibility of every Filipino to recognize
disagreement in political views, be tolerant, and argue intelligently without having to resort
into name-calling people.

Discussion

The Self in the Digital World

Imagine a day without technology. No television. No radio. No computers. No internet. No cellular
phones. How do you think you will cope? Can you imagine a day when you are not able to text
someone, update your social media, or watch your favorite TV show? Is it possible? Most likely,
you’re bound to say no, it’s impossible, and that you won’t survive without technology. That is how
pervasive technology is to people’s lives.

The millennial generation is known to be the generation of digital natives because millennials were
born in an era of rapid technological advancement. Thus, it is not surprising that even young
children are exposed to gadgets, mobile applications, and the internet. Their minds seem to be
attuned to the intricacies of different gadgets and technological innovations, and most especially, the
internet. The internet. Their minds seem to be attuned to be intricacies of different gadgets and
technological innovations, and most especially, the internet. The internet primarily serves three
major purposes: social interaction, information acquisition and generation, and entertainment. As a
result, daily life is almost always dependent on the functions of technology, especially the internet
which provides people with a venue of presenting their identities through social media platforms.

The advent of technology comes with a corresponding challenge: to ensure that technology is used
properly. This is the essence of digital citizenship, which refers to the norms of appropriate and
responsible behavior towards technology use. Digital citizenship is anchored on three general
principles: respecting, educating, and protecting oneself and others. Technology is both a bane and a
boon. On one hand, people’s way of life has been made easier due to the convenience that
technology brings. Communication is more efficient and access to information is made easier. With
the rapidly changing social environment, people are likely to be engulfed in the different forms of
technology. Digital citizenship serves the purpose of regulating human behavior in a highly-
technological and digital world.

A major concern of living in the digital era is how technology shapes one’s sense of self and
identity. There is no doubt that the beliefs, value orientation, and behavior of individuals especially
those constantly exposed are heavily influenced by technology. One concept that is related to the
concept of the digital self is online disinhibition. It is defined as the lack of restraint one feels when
communicating online in comparison to communicating in person. Some individuals lose their
inhibition in social interactions because there is an aspect of being present only in a virtual, a sort of
anonymity. It provides a comfort zone for individuals to communicate what they want to express,
without censure and punishment. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? It may depend on the context.

10
COURSE MODULE MODULE WEEK NO. 13
Anonymity may serve as an option for individuals who are naturally shy and introverted to express
their thoughts, without threat to their self-esteem. However, there are also cases when online
disinhibition can be harmful and negative, as seen in case of cyberbullying. Anonymity can shield
the identity of the cyberbully. This is an example of how the digital world can influence the
development of the self and identity.

Nowadays, however, people are more inclined to show their own personalities via online channels.
The internet becomes a multi-media venue for showcasing personal traits, qualities, and even
experiences. The wat one views himself or herself is expressed through the worldwide web. Apart
from social media, the use of certain internet-based applications on different gadgets including
mobile phones can be in indicator of the kind of person one is. The values and beliefs he or she
upholds are also expressed in his or her online behavior. Thus, technology, through the development
of virtual spaces communities accessible through the internet, can be a basis of evaluating the
consistency of the self. How identity is projected in real-life can also be the same way with how
one’s identity is projected on the internet. It would be interesting to assess the difference between
one’s attitudes in real-life setting and online.

The permeating nature of technology has also influenced various technological and online behaviors
people manifest. Within the concept of digital citizenship, there are nine (9) themes that cover these
behaviors, namely:

Digital Access Full electronic participation in society

Digital Commerce Electronic buying and selling of goods
Digital Electronic exchange of information
Communication
Digital Literacy Process of teaching and learning technology and the use of
technology
Digital Etiquette Electronic standards of conduct or procedure
Digital Law Electronic responsibility for actions and deeds, especially with
ethics of technology
Digital Rights and Those freedoms extended to everyone in a digital world
Responsibilities
Digital Health and Physical and psychological well-being in a digital technology world
Wellness
Digital Security Electronic precautions to guarantee safety

The themes listed above emphasize the proliferation of technology in the world and how they are
used for specific purposes. Digital access enables obtaining information off-site while digital
security ensures the release of such information to legitimate stakeholders. Digital law, digital rights
and responsibilities, and digital etiquette curtail abusive behaviors that occur online. Digital
communication facilitates quick communication and information access in situations where physical
boundaries make it difficult. Digital literacy incorporates the use of technology in teaching and
learning methods, making education more viable and personal for millennial learners. Digital
commerce simplifies business transactions and consumer sales, easing the process for both the
business and consumer. Digital health and well-being provide provisions to ensure netizens that
online participation can complement and supplement healthy lifestyle choices and behavior; for
example, info graphs, blog posts, and mobile applications that focus on health and well-being can be
effective in relaying information valuable to an individual’s health condition or lifestyle choices. All
11
COURSE MODULE MODULE WEEK NO. 13
of these activities accentuate the presence of technology in all aspects of daily life, across different
generations.

Suffice it to say, technology is here to stay. There is a need to adapt to the dynamic changes that
technology entails. For example, in the context of work settings, companies and organizations
require digital literacy among employees to ensure efficient job performance. For educators and
learners, more and more software applications, learning management systems, and other digital
learning tools are being produced every day and these are imbibed by students within prescribed
teaching styles and methodologies. In medicine, forms of clinical assessments are now making use
of computerized tools to aid in ensuring accuracy in gathering data.

Technology offers limitless opportunities; its presence is inevitable. However, technology need not
control the society and the people’s lives. It should be complementary to human needs and
behaviors. Technology should not define anymore. An individual must define himself or herself
based solely on his or her own terms.

Setting Boundaries to your Online Self: Smart Sharing

The following guidelines will help you share information online in a smart way that will protect
yourself and not harm others. Before posting or sharing anything online, consider the following:

 Is this post/story necessary?

 Is there a real benefit to this post? Is it funny, warm-hearted, teachable --- or am I just
making noise online without purpose?
 Have we (as a family or parent/child) resolved this issue? An issue that is still being worked
out at home, or one that is either vulnerable or highly emotional, should not be made public.
 Is it appropriate? Does it stay within the boundaries of our family values?
 Will this seem as funny in 5, 10 or 15 years? Or is this post better suited for sharing with a
small group of family members or maybe not at all?

Rules to Follow
Here are additional guidelines for proper sharing of information and ethical use of the Internet
according to New (2014):
 Stick to safer sites.
 Guard your passwords.
 Limit what you share.
 Remember that anything you put online or post on a site is there forever, even if you try to
delete it.
 Do not be mean or embarrass other people online.
 Always tell if you see strange or bad behavior online.
 Be choosy about your online friends.
 Be patient.
