b. What’s In?
The word philosophy comes from two Greek words: philos (love) and sophia (wisdom).
The ancient Greeks used this term to refer to “love of wisdom” and they soon applied it
to the study or discipline that uses human reason to investigate the ultimate causes,
reasons, and principles which govern all things.
Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental questions about existence,

knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.
Philosophy in simple words is a way of thinking about the world, the universe, and
society. It works by asking very basic questions about the nature of human thought, the
nature of the universe, and the connections between them. The ideas in philosophy are
often general and abstract.
Philosophy is the study of humans and the world by thinking and asking questions. It is a
science and an art. Philosophy tries to answer important questions by coming up with
answers about real things and asking "why?"
c. What is It?
The most notable ancient Greek philosophers are:
Pythagoras (570 BCE to 495 BCE)- A mathematician and scientist, he was credited
with formulating the Pythagorean theorem.
Heraclitus (535 BCe to 475 BCE)- He proposed that everything that exists is based on a
higher order or plan which he called logos.
Democritus (460 BCE to 370 BCE)- He devoted himself to the study of the causes of
natural phenomena.
Diogenes of Sinope (412 BCE to 323 BCE)- He was a known advocate of living a
simple and virtuous life.
Epicurus (341 BCE to 270 BCE)- He believed that philosophy could enable man
to live a life of happiness.
Socrates (470 BCE to 399 BCE)- He was considered the foremost philosophers of
ancient times. He was credited with formulating the Socratic method- means of examining
a topic by devising a series of questions that let the learner examine and analyze his
knowledge and views regarding the topic.
Plato (427 BCE to 347 BCE)- A student of Socrates, he wrote down his mentor’s
teaching and incorporated some of his own ideas into them. Plato’s most erything that
exist is based on an idea or template than can only be perceived in the mind. Plato is
also known for his dialectic- a method of inquiry where two opposing ideas are discussed
in an attempt to arrive at new knowledge. Plato’s lasting contribution to learning was his
founding of the Academy, an institution of higher learning.
Aristotle (384 BCE to 322 BCE)- He attended the Academy, and was the prominent
student of Plato. For him, all ideas and views are based on perception and our reality is
based on what we can sense and perceive. His studies in logic led to the formulation of
a formal process of analyzing reasoning which give rise to deductive reasoning-the
process by which specific statements are analysed to reach a conclusion or
generalization.

MY SCORE:
b. What’s In?
The term "holistic thinking" refers to a big picture mentality in which a person recognizes
the interconnectedness of various elements that form larger systems, patterns and
objects. Thinking holistically is the opposite of analyzing something, which involves
breaking down a larger system into its details.
Holistic medicine is a prominent example of holistic thinking. A medical professional who

believes in holistic care considers the relationship between the mind, body and spirit. For
example, holistic doctors don't just provide patients with medications. Instead, they look at
ways to improve life balance and eradicate health problems from their root source, such
as high stress or bad nutrition.
In philosophy, point of view describes the perception of an event or phenomenon and how
exactly it is viewed. Point of view often is shaped by an individual's beliefs or experiences.
Though partial thinking is useful, philosophy utilizes holistic thinking in making sense of
problems and issues related to the human experience.
People tend to apply an analytical perspective when looking at problems or situations. A

holistic view gives rise to a more appreciative perspective about life, as we are able to
look at life in its totality.

b. What’s In?
Reflection is vital in ensuring that our actions and decisions are well thought out and are
done with due regard for their implications and consequences on ourselves, others, and
our surroundings.
When we reflect, we can judge whether our actions or decisions are reasonable or not.
Doing Philosophy enables a person to engage in critical analysis and interpretation of

concepts, definitions, arguments, and problems.
Doing Philosophy also improves problem-solving and decision making. The ability to
analyze a problem or dilemma, identify the significant aspects, and come up with
alternative solutions is an important skill learned through philosophy.
In the process of doing philosophy, it is critical to have a holistic point of view-the

perception of looking at all aspects of a situation first before making a conclusion.
Wisdom as it refers to a person’s ability to apply knowledge to daily life particularly in
making sound choices and judgment is the intended product of philosophizing.
Finally, knowledge of Philosophy can contribute to self-development.
Examples of activities that emanated from a deliberate reflection
• Learning from your previous mistakes and not repeating them again
• Evaluating and knowing the best choice from a set of options
• Gaining a holistic point of view first before making any conclusion
c. What is It?
Based on your answers in Table 1, what must before making actions? Do you consider it
helpful if you do this before making actions? Why or why not?
Simple action seems to take a whole new meaning when one engages in reflection. Like
buying a new gadget, think of the questions you asked yourself as you consider buying
the said item.
You may start with simple questions, but since we are in reflective and philosophizing
mood, we try and think of deeper questions and reflect on the situation

b. What’s In?
Philosophical method (or philosophical methodology) is the study of how to do

philosophy. A common view among philosophers is that philosophy is distinguished by
the ways that philosophers follow in addressing philosophical questions. There is not just
one method that philosophers use to answer philosophical questions.
Philosophy is concerned with determining the concept of truth. Truth lies at the heart of
any inquiry.
c. What is It?
Truth in metaphysics and the philosophy of language is the property of sentences,

assertions, beliefs, thoughts, or propositions that are said, in ordinary discourse, to
agree with the facts or to state what the case is. It is most often used to mean being in
accord with fact or reality, or fidelity to an original or standard. Truth is also sometimes
defined in modern contexts as an idea of "truth to self", or authenticity.
Propositions is a statement about the world or reality. Propositions may or may not carry
truth.
Knowledge is the clear awareness and understanding of something. It is the product of

questions that allow for clear answers provided by facts.
Facts are propositions or statement which are observe to be real or truthful.
Claim is a statement that is not evidently or immediately known to be true. This means
that any claim can be proven by verification and experimentation.
Therefore, truthful statements can be considered as based on facts.
There are several views regarding truth. Philosophers emphasize the importance of belief
as a basis for determining truth. But as a philosopher, we do not assume that every
statement is true. Remember the famous French philosopher, Rene Descartes traced the
need to philosophize to doubt.
In philosophy, systematic doubt is employed to help determine the truth. This means that
every statement, claim, evidence, and experience is scrutinized and analyzed.
Philosophers always engaged with the concept of truth. Philosophers consider truth as a
kind of quality or value. Knowledge is the clear awareness and understanding of
something, since it is true knowing that we are able to determine what is true.
Doubt has a very important purpose in philosophy as it drives our desire to discover the
truth. In philosophy, systematic doubt is employed to help determine the truth.
A belief is true if it can be justified or proven through the use of one’s senses.
Another basis for determining truth is a belief or statement is true if it is based on facts.
Getting consensus or having people agree on a common belief is another way of

determining what is true. Although this approach has certain limitations. Getting everyone
to agree on something may not take that belief true.
Philosophers also believe that claims and belief should also be subjected to test to
determine truth. In determining truth requires also that a person can prove a statement
through an action.

 Opinions are statement that go beyond providing facts.
 A conclusion is a judgment based on certain facts.
 Beliefs are statements that expresses convictions that are not easily and
clearly explained by facts.
 Explanations are statements that assume the claim to be true and provide
reasons why the statement is true.
 Arguments are series of statements that provide reasons to convince
the reader or listener that a claim or opinion is truthful.
 Fallacies are arguments based on faulty reasoning.
 Bias is disproportionate weight in favor of or against an idea or thing, usually in
a way that is closed-minded, prejudicial, or unfair.
The facts that form the bases of a conclusion may not be disputed but the conclusion itself
could still be contested or questioned. To judge the truthfulness of belief, we must also
consider things such a person’s experiences and views.
Facts are statements that are observed to be real or truthful. Claims are statements that
require further examination to determine their truthfulness. Some arguments may contain
fallacies. We must be aware of the various kinds of fallacies as these affect the validity of
arguments. Opinions are often influenced by bias. We must be aware of bias so that we
can objectively and critically examine points of view.
Opinion is something intermediary between knowledge and ignorance. While Public

opinion is the intermediate faculty which seizes the things that float between the two
extremes (Plato)
Opinion applies to what, being true or false, may be other than it is: in fact, opinion is the
apprehension of an immediate and unnecessary premise (Aristotle)
Opinion, founded in the probable, perhaps also the name of knowledge (Leibniz)
Opinion is a belief that is conscious of being insufficient both subjectively and objectively
(Kant)
An opinion gives for truth something that has been said, although sometimes they are
absurd words, which mean nothing, impossible to understand (Hobbes)
Public opinion is the convergence of the opinions of the greatest number of people in a
community, so that they form a common and dominant feeling, exerting diffuse pressure
(Freund)
The following are the examples of fallacies.

accept it.
Appeal to tradition the idea is acceptable because it has been true for a long time.
Begging the question assuming the thing or idea to be proven is true; also known as
circular argument.
Cause-and-effect assuming “cause-and-effect” relationship between unrelated
events
Fallacy of composition assuming that what is true of a part is true for the whole

The following are the examples of biases.
Bias Characteristics

Framing focusing on a certain aspect of a problem while ignoring other
aspects.
Hindsight - the tendency to see past events as predictable, or to ascribe a

b. What’s It?
In today’s society, we acquire a lot of information from our friend, family and member in
the community. Some information that you receive from maybe utterly true but some
information may be utterly false. These kinds of information often have a positive or
negative impact on our lives. Thus, as an individual, we have to examine every situation
or issue if it is true or if it is opinion.
Difference between opinion and truth
What is opinion?
-is a belief, impression or judgment about something by not necessarily based on fact.
-it prevails personal view of a person.
What is truth?
-it is something that has been proven by facts or sincerity.
-in science, truth is based on facts-as something that is observable
-in philosophy ,truth is considered as a kind of quality and value.
Every day in your life, you have encountered a lot of information that you have heard from
your parents, friends, members of the community or even in social media like Facebook or
news from the television and radio. Some information may be helpful to you, but some
may mislead you or may even be utterly false. These kinds of information can either give
positive or negative impact on your life. For instance, you have a neighbor who wants to
lose weight until she saw an advertisement from the television that there is an affordable
and effective “slimming pill”. Your neighbor is convinced by the advertisement and took an
order then tried and hoping to be physically fit. But then she noticed that there has no
effect to her, and having a feeling of fear if it can harm other internal organ in her body.
Based on your neighbor’s experienced, the information that you have heard or have
watched from the news or the social media especially on products, may tell you the true or
may tell you the false. Every day you are confronted with announcements, news, claim,
from your peer, friends, family members, the government and media. How would you
know if they are telling the truth? Have you experienced the same? Please feel free to
share and write it in the space below.
Why is truth important?
Truth is important to clarify knowledge, since it is through knowing that we are able
to determine what is true, while talking about Knowledge, it is the clear awareness
and understanding of anything that surrounds you. It is a product of questions that
allow for clear answers provided by facts. Our knowledge is comprised of ideas and
beliefs that we know to be true.
Take for instance, “No bird have no wings”. This statement simply means that we
know what is an observable or evident in a real world- that is based on reality so
this is proposition and this statement is considered as facts. Fact is a statement
which are observable to be real or truthful. We all know and see that all the birds
havewings.
There are also statements that need to have further examination to establish
whether it is true or false. For instance; “my man is the best and the smartest”.
This statement is not evidently or immediately known to be true, it needs further
investigation or examination to see that this statement is true or false. This
statement is opinion. Opinion can be proven by verification and experimentation in
order to find that the statement is true or false. Please work out the exercise below:
How do you know if something is true?
You assumed that everything you know about in this world is true, through your
senses and beliefs. But as philosophers, you do not assumed that every statement
is true. You need to analyze or investigate or have own investigation to better
understand the means by which you gain knowledge and determine the truth about
everything. Doubt drives your desires to discover the truth. There should be
sufficient reasons and evidences taken to prove that it is true.
Ways on Determining Truth

1. A belief is true if it can be justified or proven through the use of one’s
senses. Let’s have a sample statements:
A. Ana is the only beautiful classmate that I have.
Prove that Ana is beautiful by writing it in one sentence below.
B. I am a Filipino.
How will you prove that you are a Filipino? Answer that in just one sentence.
Are you now convinced that you call yourself a Filipino Citizen? If not, you can use
other mean.
2. A belief or statement is true if it is based on facts.

This is another bases of determining truth. If you think that there are still doubt in your
mind, you can do an investigation to some other experts or research to fully seek the
truth. You can try the following:
A. Look for your birth certificate. This is an official document to prove that you are
really a Filipino Citizen.
B. Ask your biological parents and other relatives. This is to prove that they are the
witnesses that you are really a Filipino Citizen.
Write your answer in your activity notebook the information presented in the birth
certificate and the information given by your parents regarding your citizenship.
3. Getting a consensus or having people agree on a common belief.

This is getting everyone to agree on something with nobody opposing or against on that
statement. Based on the previous example, by looking at your birth certificate, since it is
an official documents that is issued by the institution of the government it shows factual
information, the entries it bears are truthful. And if your biological parents and relatives
agreeing that you are truly a Filipino Citizen, this is way in determining what is true.
4. Statements can also be true through actions.
For instance, your best-friend tells you that he/she knows how to cook a menudo.
Do you believe his/her statement instantly? Or might you ask him/her to perform the
cooking. Then let you taste the menudo if the taste is delicious or not. If the taste of
the menudo is delicious, then that would be the time that you believe him/her that
he/she really knows how to cook menudo.

An understanding of opinions and facts and the mean to distinguish one from the other
can further improve our understanding and appreciation of varied views and ideas.
The ability to determine truth goes hand in hand with the holistic perspective and enables
us to make wiser decisions, especially in choosing then ideas and views which we find
acceptable.
A critical mind aided by philosophy can help us from our own personal point of view that
can guide us in making decisions and actions when we faced with a problem.
Philosophy can help us determine ideas that are truthful and acceptable, which we can
use to form our own views regarding certain matters
For Maboloc and Pascua (2008) critical thinking is a lifelong process of self- assessment
that further consists of: Defining, analyzing and devising solutions, Arriving at reasonable
and informed conclusionsApplying understanding and knowledge to new and different
problems. Willingness to say “I don’t know.”
The attributes of a critical thinker include;

Looks for evidence to support assumption and beliefs Adjusts opinion
Looks for proof Examines the problem
Rejects irrelevant and innocent information
c. What is It?
Every day in our experience, we argued on so many things. In our family we often
argued on who is right and is wrong, who is smart and who is not, who is handsome
and who is not or who is the best the mother or the father. What then is argument?
Arguments are series of statements that provide explanations to convince the

listener or a reader that the opinion is truthful.
Types of Arguments
1. Fallacy or Fake argument (maling pangangatuwiran)– are group of

statements that appear to be arguments to support the conclusion.
Example: There is no hope in the Philippine government, because it is tropical country.
What makes the statement fallacious? It is fallacious because climate has nothing to do
with the hope of Philippine government.
2. Bias – refers tendencies or influences which affect the views of the people. When
looking at an opinion you must be aware of bias so that you can objectively and
critically examined points of view.
Types of Fallacy

An individual cannot live his or her life just agreeing with everybody he or she meets. A
critical mind aided by a philosophy can help us from our own personal point of view that can
guide us in making decisions and actions when faced with a problem. Each individual’s
point of view is unique but it should be based on sound and reasonable ideas and views.
We would be able to come up with ideas which are truthful and can be accepted universally
through the study Philosophy. Let us imagine several individuals reacting to news on the
television and radio about the SAME SEX MARRIAGE that is being proposed in the
congress. Let’s analyze the opinions of these individuals.
Father Nael: (Priest)
It’s not allowed to marry with the same sex. Married is for a man and a woman.
This is a sacred ceremony for a couple that promise and exchange vows before
the Lord. They disobeyed the commandments of the Lord. God created man for
woman.
Mrs. Casiana: (Member in the society)
It is awkward to hear that same sexes were married. How could they produce
children? Even though they loved each other, but for me it is a mistake.
Mr. Serge: (Gay)
I agree on these proposal, in a sense that I could feel secured and have peace
of mind. And I would also feel full of happiness because my love one and I will
live together in a legal way.
Ms. Emyang: (Lesbian)
13
It is alright for me. There’s no such mistake of having an affair with same sex,
because we cannot resist that love that we felt, whatever gender it is, as long
as you live with her with happiness and feel comfortable of being companion,
well it’s good. So much good if you both live in a legal way or have married
legally.
Ms. Jennifer: (Parent of a gay)
If that proposal would be a law, I would just let my son-gay to marry a man if
he thinks that a man is meant for him. As long as they know their limitations
and overcome the consequences in their relationship. I would agree just for
him to be happy.

A method of philosophizing is a process of determining the truth or drawing conclusions from a

statement using various philosophical methods, such as: Socratic, dialectic, scientific, and
historical.
When you evaluate information, it is very important to distinguish between fact and opinion. How do
we know if something is true?
Philosophers emphasize the importance of belief as a basis for determining truth. It is said that
there are instances when we have to unlearn something so that we may learn anew. Philosophers
questioned what they knew and even analyzed their methods of knowing in order to understand
themselves and the world much better.
The discussion on truth is part of philosophical studies on knowledge where philosophers explore
the nature of knowledge and the ways of knowing.
c. What is it?
Both the Socratic and dialectic method are based on a discussion between two or more people who
may carry differing views but wish to pursue the truth by seeking an agreement with one another.
Meanwhile, the scientific method is a process of determining truth or knowledge through
experimentation, inductive and deductive reasoning, and hypothesis or theory testing.
The scientific method, also called empirical method, is a process of determining truth or knowledge
through experimentation, inductive and deductive reasoning, and hypothesis or theory testing
Logic is the truth based on reasoning and critical thinking. It includes analysis and construction of
arguments. It serves as path to freedom from half-truths and deception. do this before making

Consequence is the result or effect of an action or condition. Philosophers believe that a

person acts freely and with due regard for the consequences of his actions.
Externality refers to the capability of a person to reach out and interact with others and the
world.
Dignity refers to the innate right to be valued and respected. Philosophers consider all
humans as having an inherent worth or value. “You’re worthless!” is an insult since it attacks
the very notion of a person having value or worth.
Limitations of the Human Person
Human persons are naturally deficient beings. This means that we are not prepared with the
best physical aspects among all the beings
Human persons do not have the natural ability to fly.

an-embodied-spirit- 160195332
Human persons cannot breathe underwater without the

aid of breathing device.

Transcendence is the ability to change, be dynamic,

25
and continually redefining one’s self which works with our
facticity to create change.
How do limitations lead to transcendence? Facticity

refers to the things in our life that are already given.
EXAMPLE: LIFE
We are free to define who we are and who we are to be.

Spatial-temporal being. As temporal beings, our most obvious limitation is our finitude - our
finite quality or state. For example, Walang forever, pero meron talaga. As spatial beings, we
are limited by our bodies to be present in two or more places at the same time. We are
limited by space (spatial) and the time (temporal). Our spatial-temporal situation sets our
preconditions of understanding.
Why do we want to be in a
hurry to achieve or have
something which is not yet?
NOW, FUTURE, PAST
Why do we hold on or lament

on something which is no
longer?
It is the people closest to us

that we most often neglect.

The Body as Intermediary
Intermediary means acting as a mediator (Merriam-Webster). Having a body may prevent us

from revealing what we really want to express.
How do we communicate with each other? WORDS
But can words really capture the things we want to express? But this limitation can also be
an advantage...
In most cases, words are not enough. EXAMPLE: Magbabago Na Ako Promise!!!

b. What’s In?
The previous example talks about transcendence or a state of “existence above and beyond
the limits of material experience.”
Transcendence originated from the words Trans, meaning “go beyond”, and
scandare, meaning “climb”.
In the example, fulfilling a dream requires transcendence because it opens a state of

thinking and feeling that there is something more in life than just physical and material
things. Much like Abraham Maslow’s self-actualization concepts, transcendence is a state of
being intrinsically satisfied with life regardless of physical and tangible factors.
b. What’s It?
● LIMITATIONS AND POSSIBILITIES FOR TRANSCENDENCE
Here are some limitations and possibilities for transcendence:

- may not occur to everyone
- does not come at a specified period
- varies across all people
- may coincide with physical limitations of the body
- developing a positive outlook in life
- working towards reaching a goal
- learning from experience
● POSSIBILITIES FOR TRANSCENDENCE

It is also important to know that transcendence may be applied to present
29
worries by living in the present. This means that life is lived from moment to
moment in a carefree and cheerful manner where concerns for stress are
reserved for the future, and regrets or guilt feelings are kept in the past.
● THE HUMAN BODY IN IMPOSING LIMITS AND POSSIBILITIES

From a biological and physical standpoint, it can be recognized that the human body,
although it can perform many functions, also has limitations. Limits in the
environment, demographics, and society may also hinder a person from reaching
transcendence.
Here are some examples:
BODILY LIMITATIONS
- mental and emotional disorders (e.g. anxiety, intellectual disability)

- disabilities (e.g. amputated leg, deafness)
- disease and illnesses (e.g. hypertension, cough)
- failures and experiences (e.g. failing a subject)
SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONS
- socioeconomic status
- location of neighborhood (e.g. armed, disorganized, or violent neighborhood)
- abusive relationships (e.g. emotional
abuse) negative influences
(e.g. drug use)
● OVERCOMING LIMITATIONS
Bodily limits can be tested by trying on new experiences and working on
challenges with increasing levels of difficulty. The human body, if given enough
exposure to any situation, can attain a goal with efficiency.
Social and environmental limitations are more difficult to overcome than bodily
limitations because they involve the influence of other people and the external
world. However, with a proper mindset, clearly defined goals, and motivation to
rise above challenges, one may successfully overcome his or her limitations.
● RECOGNIZE AND EVALUATE OWN LIMITATIONS

AND POSSIBILITIES FOR TRANSCENDENCE
Even though you are still young, you are not prevented from further understanding
yourself. Transcendence is even more possible when you begin to understand
that you can go beyond your limitations if you set your mind on your goals.
SOME POINT TO REMEMBER WHEN GOING BEYOND YOUR LIMITS
- you are connected to the external or eternal world

- challenges are learning opportunities
- your goal is more important than your fears
30
- think outside the box
- recognize that everyone has fears
TIPS
The terms “transcendent” and transcendental” should not be used
interchangeably. According to Immanuel Kant, “transcendent” is a term used to
refer to God, while “transcendental” refers to all other matter.
While transcendence may not occur for everyone, all people have the capacity
to experience it regardless of any sociodemographic, biological, or personal
factors.

HUMAN COMPOSITION OF MAN
Environmental philosophy is the discipline that studies the moral relationships of human
beings with the environment and its non-human contents. Philosophers believe that the
human person has the ability to change the environment to suit his purposes. It will enable
them to become aware of their relationship and its related issues in our society and their
impact on the lives of human persons.
“What is the world made of?” “How did the world come into being?” and “How can we explain
the process of change?” were philosophical questions already brought up approximately 600
B.C.E. (before the common era) in the Western lonian seaport town of Miletus across the
Aegean Sea from Athens, Greece.
The speculation of the pre-Socratic philosophers represents a paradigm shift- a change

from mythical explanation of the origins of the cosmos to a more rational explanation.
Eastern sages probed nature’s depths intuitively through the eyes of spiritual sages which
Greek thinkers viewed nature through cognitive and scientific eyes (Price 2000). These
thinkers were looking for the underlying laws of nature. They wanted to understand the
processes of nature by studying nature itself, not by listening to the stories about the gods.
According to Payne (2010) there are two frameworks where humans can be related.
1. Anthropocentric Model. Based on the anthropocentric model, humans are superior

and central to the universe, thus, it is human centered.
HUMAN NATURE defines as the nature of humans especially the fundamental characters
and traits of humans. It refers to the characteristics that distinguish humans from all other
creatures. These traits are expected to arise independent of the influence of culture and
society. EXAMPLES: THINKING, FEELING AND ACTING.
2. Ecocentric Model. It is the ecological or relational integrity of the humans that

provides meaning of our morals and values and it is nature centered.

When Taal Volcano erupted in the early days of 2020, several netizens called not only for
the rescue of human beings but also of beasts—farm animals and pets. This is not surprising
at all because animals have their rights and that Filipinos in general are animal lovers. There
are Filipinos even who disclosed that they could not dare to eat the food prepared from the
animals that they personally raised in their backyard. This only proves that a human being
cannot really harm other beings or the Earth itself as a whole if only he or she understands
properly his or her role and connection with them.

It is in this setting that environmentalism come into view. Environmentalism is comprise of

many related ideas and advocacies that address the various environmental issues and
concerns. One important perspective from environmentalism is environmental ethics. This
ethics for the environment examines how we as human persons relate with the Earth and all
within it. It also frames a critical understanding on how our human activities create an impact
47
to the environment.
So, have you ever thought on how your actions affect nature? In what way do these affect
the Earth? Please write your response on the space provided below:
_________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
Aside from what has been already stated above, environmental ethics also contributes the
following:
a. It serves as a basis for reflecting on how our actions show our regard for nature;
b. It guides us in upholding the welfare of the environment;
c. It also encourages governments, institutions, corporations, and other related organizations
to commit to a responsible action for the environment.
d. It demands environmental justice, a concept that calls for a fair distribution of

environmental benefits, as well as the burden of meeting the effects of climate and other
environmental changes.
One of the major concepts that goes along with environmentalism is

sustainability or sustainable development. This concept teaches us to make
wise decisions concerning the use of Earth’s resources today so that there is still
enough left for tomorrow. This principle in other
words, calls us to think for
others, including those who
are yet to be born in the future,
as we use and consume the
resources of the planet in our
generation. To put it simply,
sustainability is like eating your
meal, being satisfied with it to Photo by Archie Binamira from Pexels
a certain extent, but you have

to consciously leave some
food on the table which is
good enough to meet the needs of those who have yet to arrive and eat.
Notes:
48
Environmental integrity – refers to maintaining the state of the environment in the midst
of human activities. Here, human activities are well-thought and managed in such a way
that their impact to the ecosystems becomes minimal.
Economic efficiency – refers to the wise use of resources, that is, using the resources
in their entirety, if possible, to avoid unnecessary waste.
Equity – demands that we use our natural resources in such a manner that these are
conserved so that the next generation will be able to use them.
Prudence – the ability to discipline and govern one’s actions and behavior.
Frugality – the quality of being economical on the use of one’s resources.

c. What is It?
Freedom
• It is identified with the aspects of intellectual, political, spiritual and economic. To be free is
a part of humanity’s authenticity. Understanding freedom is part of transcendence. It consists
of going beyond situations such as physical or economic.
Realize that all Actions have Consequences
A. Aristotle- The Power of Volition
The imperative quality of judgment of practical intellect is meaningless, apart from will.
Reason can legislate, but only through will can its legislation be translated into action. The
task of practical intellect is to guide will by enlightening it. Will is to be understood wholly in
terms of intellect for there is no intellect if there is no will The will of humanity is an
instrument of free choice.
Will is borne out by:
• inner awareness of an aptitude to do right or wrong;
• the common testimony of all human beings;
• the rewards and punishment of rulers; and
• the general employment of praise and blame.
Moral acts are in our power and we are responsible for them. Character or habit is no
excuse for immoral conduct.
Example: Attending class is a student responsibility. Should the student cut class, then
he/she is responsible for the consequence of his actions. As a result, he/she must be held
responsible for any accident or failure in grades that will befall on him/her. The student may
regret what he/she had done, but all the regrets in the world will not call it back. The point is
the student should not cut class in the first instance. When the matter is sifted down, the
happiness of every human being’s soul is in his own hands, to preserve and develop, or to
cast away.

Reason
Figure 5.1. Aristotle: Intellectual

Freedom
• For Aristotle, a human being is rational. Reason is a divine characteristic. Humans

have the spark of the divine. If there were no intellect, there would be no will. Reason can
legislate, but only through will can its legislation be turned into action. Our will is an
instrument of free choice. Reason, Will, and Action drives each other.
B. St. Thomas of Aquinas: Love is Freedom
Of all creatures of God, human beings have the unique power to change themselves and the
things around them for the better. St. Thomas Aquinas considers the human being as a
moral agent, being both a spiritual and body elements; the spiritual and material. The unity
between both elements indeed helps us to understand our complexity as human beings. Our
spirituality separates us from animals; it delineates moral dimension of our fulfillment in an
action. Through our spirituality, we have a conscience. Whether we choose to be "good" or
"evil" becomes our responsibility.
A human being, therefore, has a supernatural, transcendental destiny, rising above his
ordinary self to a highest self. If a human being perseveringly lives a righteous and virtuous
life, he transcends his mortal state of life and soars to an immortal.
The power of change, however, cannot be done by human beings alone, but is achieved
through cooperation with God. Between humanity and God, there is an infinite gap, which
God alone can bridge through His power. Perfection by participation here means that it is a
union of humanity with God. Change should promote not just any purely private advantage,
but the good of the community.
St. Thomas gives a fourfold classification of law: the eternal law, natural law, human law,
and divine law.
Natural Law applies only to human beings; good is to be sought after and evil avoided
(instruct of self-preservation). There is inherent in every human being an inclination that he
shares with all other beings, namely, the desire to conserve human life and forbids the
contrary.
Since the law looks to the common good as its end, it is then conceived primarily with
external acts and not with interior disposition.
Example: If someone does not lie to his parents so they will increase his allowance, then the
reason of his goodness stems not because he does not want to lie but because he knows
that there is a reward for being so.
For Aquinas, both natural and human laws are concerned with ends determined simply by
humanity's nature. However, human being is ordained to an end transcending his nature, it
is necessary that he has a law ordering him to that end, and this is the divine law or
revelation.
Divine Law deals with interior disposition as well as external acts and it ensures the final
punishment of all evildoing. It gives human beings the certitude where human reason
unaided could arrive only at possibilities. This divine law is divided into old (Mosaic) and the
new (Christian) that are related as the immature and imperfect to the perfect and complete.
59
Eternal Law the decree of God that governs all creation. It is "That Law which is the
Supreme Reason cannot be understood to be otherwise than unchangeable and eternal.
For Aristotle, the purpose of a human being is to be happy. To be happy, one has to live a
virtuous life – to develop to the full their powers—rational, moral, social, emotional, and
physical here on earth.
For St. Thomas, human is to be happy that is perfect happiness that everyone seeks but
could be found only in God alone.
• St. Thomas wisely and aptly chose and proposed Love rather than to bring about the
transformation of humanity. Love is in consonance with humanity's free nature, for Law
commands and complete; Love only calls and invites. He also emphasizes the freedom of
humanity but chooses love in governing humanity's life. Since God is Love, then Love is the
guiding principle of humanity toward his self-perception and happiness his ultimate destiny.
C. St. Thomas of Aquinas: Spiritual Freedom
He establishes the existence of God as a first cause. Of all God's creations, human beings
have the unique Power to change themselves and things around them for the better. As
humans, we are both material and spiritual, have conscience because of our spirituality. God
is Love and Love is our destiny.

D. Jean Paul Sartre: Individual Freedom

The human person is the desire to be God the desire to exist as a being which has its
sufficient ground in itself (en sui causa). The human person builds the road to the destiny of
his/her choosing; he/she is the creator (Srathern 1998).
Principle of Sartre’s Existentialism

• The person, first, exists, encounters himself and surges up in the world then defines
himself afterward. The person is nothing else but that what he makes of himself.
• The person is provided with a supreme opportunity to give meaning to one's life. In
the course of giving meaning to one's life, one fills the world with meaning.
• Freedom is, therefore, the very core and the door to authentic existence. Authentic
existence is realized only in deeds that are committed alone, in absolute freedom and
responsibility and which, therefore, the character of true creation.
• The person is what one has done and is doing, On the other hand, the human person
who tries to escape obligations and strives to be en-soi is acting on bad faith (mauvais foi).
• Sartre emphasizes the importance of free individual choice, regardless of the power
60
of other people to influence and coerce our desires, beliefs and decisions. To be human, to
be conscious is to be free to imagine, free to choose and to be responsible for one’s life.
E. Thomas Hobbes- Theory of Social Contract
Law of Nature (lex naturalis) a precept or general rule established by reason, by which a
person is forbidden to do that which is destructive of his life or takes away the means of
preserving the same; and to omit that by which he thinks it may be best preserved.
• "The fundamental law of nature seeks peace and follows it, while at the same time,
by the sum of natural right, we should defend ourselves by all means that we can.”
• The laws of nature are unable to achieve the desired end by themselves alone; that
is, unless there is coercive power able to enforce their observance by sanctions.
• Plurality of individuals should confer all their power and strength upon one human
being or upon one assembly of human beings, which may reduce all their wills, by plurality of
voices, unto one will (Garvey 2006).
• Hobbes developed social in favor of absolute monarchy.
• Hobbes thinks that to end the continuous and self-destructive condition of warfare,
humanity founded the state with its sovereign power of control by means of a mutual
consent.
F. Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Rousseau interpreted the idea of social contract in terms of absolute democracy and
individualism.
• Rousseau and Hobbes believe that human beings have to form a community or civil
community to protect themselves from one another, because the nature of human beings is
to wage war against one another, and since by nature, humanity tends toward self-
preservation, then it follows that they have to come to a free mutual agreement to protect
themselves.
• Rousseau believes that a human being is born free and good. But human has
become bad due to the evil influence of society, civilization, learning, and progress. human
being lost his original goodness, his primitive tranquility of spirit.
• In order to restore peace, he has to return to his true self. He has to see the
necessity and come to form the state through the social contract whereby everyone grants
his individual rights to the general will.
• The Constitution and the Bill of Rights constituted, as an instance of a social contract
• This is an actual agreement and actually "signed" by the people or their
representatives (Solomon & Higgins 1996).
• There must be a common power or government which the plurality of individuals
(citizens) should confer all their powers and strength into (freedom) one will (ruler).

Ruth [Chang-] : How to make hard

choices (transcript)
According to her rational individuals are not merely discoverers of reasons but creators of them through the
activity of commitment and by owning full responsibilities of your choice or decision. She is a philosopher,
lawyer and researcher.
Summary
People definitely say that they have some hard choices. They think that hard choices are big and hard, it matters
to them but they can't choose one because they are stupid.
However, the speaker who studies hard choices and is a philosopher, tells us that we shouldn't choose one
because there is no best option. It means that we misunderstand hard choices but we have to choose one.
1) If you start with two things that are equally good, and you improve one of them, it now must be better than the
other. This is not the case with options in hard choices.
2) You assume that the choice has a good answer that is greater or lesser or equal. However, the value of the
choices can't be measured by something. She calls this "on a par."
3) In fact, the alternatives are in the same area and at the same level. It's very different in kind of value but you
don't realize.
4) The choice means to create reasons for yourself and make yourself into the kind of person who you want to
be. It's not dictated by reasons given to you. The reasons create to you like you became the authors of your own
life.
In other words, how to make hard choices doesn't have the failure, because you can make yourself in the space
of hard choices where you get to exercise your normative power. The power creates reasons for yourself and
makes yourself fit the reasons. You can decide your life by yourself. This is the answer on how to make hard
choices. You can enjoy it.

Evaluate and Exercise Prudence in Choices
Freedom involves choice. It is man’s capacity to do otherwise. As Sartre said, it is through
choice that man lives an authentic human life.
If human beings have no capacity to choose, which means that they are determined, then
this seems to reduce the value and dignity of man, because it shows that man cannot control
the situations around him. Humanity without the capacity to choose is a pawn to whoever or
whatever nature allows to happen. When man cannot choose, he tends to believe that he
cannot be made responsible for the choices he makes because his actions are not from a
deliberate act of choosing but a causal connection between events beyond his control.
If human beings are determined, life seems to be futile or even absurd, because they live to
simply go with the flow, with that the law of nature dictates. Whatever action they “choose” is
not really a choice but it is what nature dictates. This is fatalism, a view that states that one
is powerless to do anything than what he actually wants to do.
The act of choosing or the ability to choose is valuable because it gives the human person
the reason to make deliberate actions out of motives that reveal his autonomy as an agent or
as an individual. As what Sartre said? “To act in bad faith is to allow others to choose for you
or for chance to take its lead.” Chance and choosing are not incommensurable.
If a person has the capacity to choose, then that person can be held responsible over the
consequences of his actions. If the choice lies in his own hands, he would take considerable
time before acting on something because he knows that if the consequence is not what he
intends to happen, he gets the blame. Hence, the person becomes prudent with the choices
he makes.
In the spirituality of imperfection, we learn to accept that life, our environment, is both "evil"
and ' 'good." B.F. Skinner believes that morality is a conditioned response impressed on the
child by society. To be responsible is when one feels responsible. There must be added
awareness that humans did it "independently," "of his own initiative“; having knowledge
about acting on one's own desires - consciousness of freedom
Plato believes, the soul of every individual possesses the power of learning the truth and
living in a society that is in accordance to its nature. We are responsible, whether we admit it
or not, for what is in our power to do; and most of the time, we cannot be sure what it is in
our power to do until we attempt.
Choices Have Consequences and Some Things Are Given Up while others Are
Obtained in Making Choices
Twentieth century gave rise to the importance of the individual. Aristotle, Rand believes that
thinking is volitional. A person has the freedom to think or not. Individual rights were upheld
in capitalism that is the only system that can uphold and protect them.
Individualism is lined in family dependency because Easterners believe that the individual
needs the community and vice versa. In Filipino's loob, for instance, the individual is the
captain of his own ship on a sea that is not entirely devoid of uncertainties.
Filipinos' holistic and interior dimensions stress a being-with-others and sensitivity to the
needs of others that inhibits one's personal and individual fulfillment.
It encompassed "give-and-take" relationship among Filipinos. As such, repaying those who

have helped us is a manifestation of utang na loob or debt of gratitude. Self-sufficiency
66
(kasarinlan) should recognize human worth and dignity. The use of intermediaries or go-
betweens, the values of loyalty, hospitality, pakikisama (camaraderie), and respect to
authority are such values that relate to persons. Filipino generally believes in the innate
goodness of the human being.

The Act of Making a Choice

If you have understood the importance of being prudent in making choices,
you will realize in this section that any deliberate act of choosing involves
evaluating alternatives.
Robert Nozick – renowned American philosopher explains in his 1981
book, Philosophical Explanations that making a choice seems to feel like there are
various reasons for and against doing each of the alternative actions or courses of
action one is considering, and it seems and it feels as if one could do anyone of
these alternatives.
The act of making a choice involves evaluating the reasons and giving
weight to reasons. One alternative is chosen because the reason behind such
alternative have more weight than the others.
Nozick introduced the concept of weighing the reasons. He explained that
when you are choosing, the act involves not only weighing the reasons but giving
weight to reasons. After you have chosen each alternative, you will realize that
some considerations carry more weight than the others. That is why you choose
one alternative and discard the other.
Nozick further suggests a theory of values in the act of giving weights.
These values are intrinsic, instrumental, originate, and contributory. Intrinsic value
is the value that has in itself apart from or independent of its consequences. If
intrinsic value is applied to alternatives, you choose this alternative by the weight
you give to the alternative because the alternative itself is valuable in its own right.
For example, if you will have to choose between studying and going out with your
69
friends, these alternatives ca be both valuable and independent of the
consequences the alternative may lead to.
The instrumental value is the function and measure of the intrinsic value
that it leads to. It may be the sum of the intrinsic values of different things it actually
leads to or some measure of the intrinsic values it might lead to as weighed by
probabilities such as expected intrinsic value. Hence the given example, your
decision to study or go out with your friends depends on two things: (1) the intrinsic
worth of the alternative you will choose and (2) the weight of the consequences of
the alternative you will choose. This suggest that the weight you assign to each
alternative or choice may be a combination of intrinsic. So if you choose to study
over a night of fun with your friends, such choice involves the following:
(1) Intrinsic value: Studying is a good act in itself.
(2) Instrumental value: Studying will help you understand the lessons well
and it may help you earn a high grade.
The originative value introduces new values to the world. It may be newly
intrinsic values or newly instrumental values. Through this third value, you may
have all three kinds of values combined- intrinsic, instrumental, and originative.
That is why a person with an originative value can make a difference in this world.
His or her actions can effect change and different valuable consequences can
happen. However, the originative value can be denied by causal determination.
Imagine yourself three or four years from now. You are given the choice of working
in an office or staying in school to finish college. Whatever you choose from these
two alternatives has neither intrinsic value or an instrumental value may produce
an originative value after doing an action. For example, you chose to
continue your studies and you were able to graduate from college; later on you
became a scientist and invented a new tool or gadget. The originative value is
based on the invention which your choice effected.
The contributory value focuses on the value contribution that a human
action effects. Most human beings want their actions to have contributory values. At
the very least, even if the contributory value is not an original one, the contributory
factor helps in differentiating the existing case without the factors effected by the
contributory value if it did exist.
When you make a choice, the act of choosing is always intentional or
purposeful. It is a free choice that you made from among the alternatives, and such
choice was based on the weight of the reasons you put on the choices. In the act of
giving weights to the alternatives, you may find that some of these alternatives and
their reasons may have more weight or are more important to you, so you choose
that alternative and act on it.
According to Rand, individual freedom should be aligned with economic
freedom. The Filipino “sakop” or harmony can be a helping value to the full
development of the Filipino if it opens up to embrace the whole Philippine society.
Filipino “sakop” must begin to raise its members in a more responsible way
and the members should likewise take this attempt to raise them financially and
socially seriously so as not to squander the help bestowed on them. Moreover, they
must come to realize that their personal worth and dignity is not exterior to
themselves; it is not found in the body of “sakop” but in one’s “kalooban”. If these
are fulfilled, The Filipinos shall not only be better persons but a better nation with a
sound economy (Andres 1994).
A leader or a manager with “magandang kalooban” is not passive but plays
70
active role in economic development. Leaders should not just focus on the impact
of job performance but treats every individual worker as person and not as objects.
Filipinos can attain a sound economy through an integrative system as such there
is support and help among unit of organizations within a company. To make up for
the inferiority complex of Filipinos, a good Filipino leader/manager must encourage
fellow Filipinos to believe in themselves so that they can bounce back as an
economic power.

a. What’s New?
The interaction between the self and the other is related to the philosophical concept of
INTERSUBJECTIVITY which is the mutual recognition of each other as persons.
A good way to think of intersubjectivity is to imagine how one relates to their family
and friends. Maybe one of the family member enjoyed playing volleyball. He took one of the
members of the family with him when he practiced, and he always had a good time.
Growing up, he decided to join the school volleyball team. If that member of the family had
not played volleyball with him growing up, he may not have grown to like the sport. The
experience with volleyball can be called intersubjective because it was influenced by another
person.
ACTIVITY 1: “Think and Share”

c. What is It?
Lesson I: Defining Intersubjectivity: Gabriel Marcel

We all live in the world surrounded by different people with different background and
personality. Relating with others and settling our differences is not always an easy task but
it’s a task that we have to embrace since we all desire to live peacefully in a world that we
shared with them no matter how different they are to us. Since we, also, benefit from living
with others, like security and companionship, we tried to establish harmonious relationship
with them. Some could say that relationship is a blessing but, perhaps, this is not true for
others who find it more of a curse. Some relationship last longer and touches more lives,
while other relationships ended even before the relation takes root. Trust or suspicion,
authentic communication or lies and dishonesty, unconditional love or self-interest are just
some of the possible causes of strengthening or breaking human relationship. How could we
achieve and maintain good and fulfilling relationship with others who are different from us?
This will be the thrust of this chapter.
In its most general sense of that which occurs between or exists among conscious human
actors, INTERSUBJECTIVITY is a little more than synonyms for THE SOCIAL. It denotes a
set of relations, meanings, structures, practices, experiences, or phenomena evident in
human life.
In another sense, INTERSUBJECTIVITY is the sharing of experiential content (feelings,
perceptions, thoughts, and linguistic meanings) among a plurality of subjects.
INTERSUBJECTIVITY, refers to the condition of man, a subject, among other men, who are
also a subjects. We cannot speak of man without implying and drawing from his
situatedness within the world, and this situatedness always involves other subjects such as
himself is. Man is a being with others.
Intersubjectivity, a term originally coined by the philosopher Edmund Husserl (1859–1938),
is most simply stated as the interchange of thoughts and feelings, both conscious and
unconscious, between two persons or “subjects,” as facilitated by empathy. To understand
intersubjectivity, it is necessary first to define the term subjectivity – i.e., the perception or
experience of reality from within one’s own perspective (both conscious and unconscious)
and necessarily limited by the boundary or horizon of
one’s own worldview. The term intersubjectivity has several usages in the social
sciences (such as cognitive agreement between individuals or groups or,
on the contrary, relating simultaneously to others out of two diverging
subjective perspectives, as in the acts of lying or presenting oneself somewhat differently in
different social situations); however, its deepest and most complex usage is related to the
postmodern philosophical concept of constructivism.
Intersubjectivity is “the realm of existence to which the preposition with properly applies”
(Marcel, 1950: 180). There are instances in which we use the preposition with – it doesn’t
simply mean being together through aggregation like the way passengers in a jeepney are
together, let’s say, on a rainy day, where they all cramp together, each one scrambling for
space to sit on. Their bodies may be touching, bumping, impinging on one another’s flesh,
yet we do not say that the passengers are with each other. They may be facing each other,
in the same way that family members on a dinner are faced toward each other, but the
presence of one passenger with another passenger is not a co-presence. To be with the
other is to open myself to being of the other, which is a mystery. As we have shown in our
discussion of embodied spirit, we have distinguished the treatment of a human person as
“problem” from that of a “mystery”. Being a mystery, the human being is removed from the
82
category of things, or of “having”. Something “I have” is an instrument that one can possess,
use, and discard after use. That is why any treatment of the person as a mere tool can be
manipulated, any treatment of a person as a beast, leads to a cry for justice; for it does
violence to the dignity and essence of a human person. To mutually respect each other as
subjects, that is intersubjectivity. The word “living” is a general term that covers plant, animal
and human life. The medical sciences have a specific definition of life – “the state of
existence characterized by such functions as metabolism, growth, reproduction, adaptation,
and response to stimuli” (Medilexicon, 2016). If we closely look at this definition, we would
note that it refers not only to human life but to animal life
in general.
Marcel, however, argues that there is more to human life other than the vital signswe share
with animals in general. This is evident in some people who experience the loss for the drive
to live. For Marcel, there is a seeming contradiction here because we use two different
senses of the word “living”. One refers to a scientific definition, another points to a more
specific form of living which Marcels singles out as “human living.” “Human living” is “living of
something other than itself” (Marcel: 171). The center of human life is outside of itself. This is
captures in one of the teachings of Jesus Christ, said “Whoever finds his life will lose it, and
whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” (Matthew 10:39) This is Marcels’ intuition about
human life. He tests this by imagining the life of slaves who get enraged by their situation.
When slaves are reduced into mere objects or instruments and are not given due respect as
person, there is a voice deep down that nags them, “There must be more to my life than
bearing this yoke imposed unjustly upon me.” The cruel master might say in reply, “What is
there to complain about? I give you enough money to feed yourself. For that you are alive.
Why not be contented?” What the cruel master fails to see is that human life is not just about
catering to one’s biological sustenance. Human life has to have meaning.
For Marcel, we find that meaning outside of ourselves – in the other. The French word for
meaning, sens, literally means direction. Hence, the argument here is that life is human as it
is propelled or directed towards something other than itself. A life that is only concerned
about its biological sustenance is focused only on oneself. People who live in fear that their
properties might be taken away from them isolate themselves by putting up high
walls both literally and figuratively. When the focus is on one’s survival and the
preservation of the means for that survival, human life becomes stale like a puddle of water
that only receives and never flows onto other channels. This makes us no different than the
prey whose only concern is to survive from his predator’s attack. It makes us no different
from animals. By contrast, people who live for others, ironically, are those who feel more
fulfilled. We learn about saints, martyrs and heroes who gave their lives for others, and we
wonder where they draw their strength and superabundant love. For Marcel, these are the
people who embraced the reality of human living. They live for others because it is who they
are; it is what human living is. To be, to exist in human way, is to be with. Intersubjectivity is
thus a state in which one recognizes one’s being as a being-with-others. It is not human life
if it is centered on itself. It becomes human, that is, it is humanized, as soon as one de-
centers oneself from himself, which is when the center of one’s life is on the care for the
welfare of another.
Important values related to intersubjectivity include acceptance of differences and embracing

diversity. We understand that each person is unique, therefore, differences will exist among
groups of people. When we look at physical traits and even behavior, we can see that no two
persons look and think the same. We have to accept that people have different views and
beliefs. What unites us all is our shared HUMANITY and DIGNITY.
The recognition of our shared humanity and dignity is what drives us to extend assistance
and act with concern towards others, especially towards individuals or groups that
experience hardships and discrimination. For instance, those who are physically and
mentally challenged often experience hardships because of their condition. Despite their
limitations, many of them have successfully transcended their disabilities to become
83
productive and happy individuals.

MY SCORE:
c. What is It?
Relationships that we experienced in our lives depend on the level of our experience. For
example, when we were yet a child, we always depended on our family. As we grow older,
we start to go with people in the community, from there; we began to relate ourselves with
our opposite sex. In our doing such, we exercise our freedom to do what we want to do. We
are capable of establishing society by way of our different relationships with other people
such as friendships, alliances or associates sharing common interests and territory.
Our relationships with other people caused us to survive. We survive because of our
parents, our friends, our neighbours, our schoolmates and, workmates. The education we
have starts from our home. Our parents taught us everything - from talking, reading and
writing, values, good manners and right conduct; simple household chores. This education
will continue when we go to school. When we finish our education, we are already equipped
with abilities, skills and knowledge for us to become productive members of the society.
Therefore, society helps us grow as a better person.

b. What is It?
As members of the society, we learn, we interact, we exercise our freedom and we follow
common beliefs, traditions and norms or standards.
Norms are set of traits and behaviours that society considers good and acceptable.
The society expects us to behave the way it is used to. When we do not obey to the
established norms, then we experience punishments for not doing so. Moreover, laws are
made to provide us proper guidelines to sustain peace and order. Violation of the law means
punishment. On the other hand, folkways are traditional in nature and do not result in
punishment if not followed.
The person and society are inseparable. One cannot exist without the other. It is a
two-way relationship that binds both the person and the society for growth and development.
We have our own individual assigned social roles in the society.
104
Social roles are set of connected behaviours expected to a certain person.
Individuals with common or similar roles are grouped together to form social groups and
eventually the different social groups would become social institutions that include our
family, school, government among others.

Nothing lasts forever (walang

whether we like it or not, we are bound to
die. Death is real. It is a part of our being.
Death is commonly understood as the end
of bodily functions. It also refers to the
separation of body and spirit. Everything
that exists in this universe comes to an end
and we humans are not exempted. The
acceptance of being a temporary individual
in this world gives us a clearer vision on
how to live life to the fullest and understand
the meaning of our existence. We have the
freedom to choose a well- lived life; doing
good and doing what is right.
What makes us happy? Happiness is a state of being (over all physical

condition of a person), not just only an emotion or a decision. We do not
choose happiness because we feel it, we do not choose happiness because
we need it but happiness is the totality of who we are as human beings. Aside
from that, we must consider also the goods and sources of our happiness.
Kinds of Good
1. Noble good is one which is pursued for its own sake, example is love
and friendship.
2. Useful good is found only from what it can provide,

example is money and a
3. Pleasurable good is good so long as it provides pleasure. Whatever

the source of our happiness right now, let us see to it that it is real and
meaningful.
