    You, the Teacher, as a Person in

    Society
     John Donne said in Meditation XVII: No man is an
    island...
    No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's
    death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind;
    and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
    it tolls for thee.”

    The idea that people are not isolated from one another,
    but that mankind is interconnected.
    No Man Is an Island
    Artist(Band):Joan Baez
    No man is an island, No man is an island,
    No man stands alone,
    Each man's joy is joy to me, Way out in the blue,
    Each man's grief is my own. We all look to the one above,
    We need one another, For our strength to renew.
    So I will defend,
    Each man as my brother,
    When I help my brother,
    Each man as my friend.
    Then I know that I,
    I saw the people gather, Plant the seed of friendship,
    I heard the music start,
    The song that they were singing, That will never die.
    Is ringing in my heart.
    Lesson learned…
    ➢We don’t live in a vacuum.
    ➢We live in a society. We are part of society. Our
    thoughts, values, and actions are somehow shaped
    by events and people we come in contact with.
    ➢We, in turn, help shape society-its events, its
    people, and its destiny.
    ➢In the context of your life as a teacher, we would
    say: “No teacher is an island. No teacher stands
    alone”
    ➢Indeed, YOU can’t become a TEACHER alone!
    It is therefore, no joke to become a
    TEACHER.
    ➢Why? Many a time the teacher is blamed for
    the many ills in society. There are lot of
    demands and much is expected from you.
    ➢Your influences on your students and on
    other people with whom you work and live
    are greater. But these influences depend
    greatly on your Philosophy as a Person
    and as a Teacher.
    ➢Thus, Your Philosophy of Life and your
    Philosophy of Education serve as your
    “window” to the world and “compass” in the
    sea of Life.
    ➢Within your personal Philosophy are your
    Principles and Values that will determine
    how you regard people, how you look at life
    as a whole. They govern and direct your
    lifestyle, your thoughts, decisions, actions
    and your relationships with people and
    things.
    Teachers are expected to . . .

    THE
    FOUNDATIONAL
    PRINCIPLES OF
    MORALITY
    What is Morality?
     the quality of human acts by which we call
    them right or wrong, good or evil. Your
    human action is RIGHT when it conforms
    with the norm, rule, or law of morality.
    Otherwise, it is WRONG.
    Example: When Juan gets the pencil of Pedro
    without the latter’s permission, Juan’s action
    is wrong because it is contrary to the norm.
    STEALING IS WRONG.
    What is Morality? (cont.)
     A man’s action, habit, or character is good when it
    is NOT lacking of what is NATURAL to man, that
    is, when it is in accordance to man’s nature.

     Example: It is not natural for a man to behave


    like animal (beast). Man has INTELLECT AND
    FREE WILL, while animals are bound by
    INSTINCTS.
     INTELLECT – makes man capable of thinking,
    judging and reasoning
     FREE WILL – gives man the ability to choose
    MEANING OF FOUNDATIONAL
    MORAL PRINCIPLE
     Principle – is from the Latin word princeps, which
    means a beginning or a source.
     A principle is that on which something is based,
    founded, originated, initiated.
     A FOUNDATIONAL MORAL PRINCIPLE is,
    therefore, the universal norm upon which other
    principle on the rightness and or wrongness of an
    action are based.
     It is the source of morality.
    WHERE is this FOUNDATIONAL
    MORAL PRINCIPLE?
     It is contained in the NATURAL LAW
     Many moralists and authors and
    philosophers may have referred to the
    FOUNDATIONAL MORAL PRINCIPLE in
    different terms but it may be acceptable to
    all (believers and non-believers) to refer to it
    as NATURAL LAW.
    WHAT IS THE NATURAL LAW?
     The law written in the hearts of man
    (Romans 2:15)
     It is man’s share in the Eternal Law of God
     It is the light of natural reason, whereby we
    discern what is good and what is evil… an
    imprint on us of the Divine light… (St.
    Thomas Aquinas)
     It is the law that says “Do good and avoid evil”
     This is the fundamental or foundational
    moral principle.
