Module 1: Defining The Self: Personal and Development Perspective or Self and
Identity
Lesson 1: The Self from Various Philosophical Perspectives

1. How would you characterized your SELF?

Answer: I am a kind of person who always put my self down against my parents. I always listen to
them. I don't exchange words to them when they're angry even if I think sometimes what's make
them angry is not my fault. I am a soft-hearted kind of person. I hate fights because my eyes easily
burst into tears. I used to feel sympathy for those whom I know is in need. I used to help my little
sisters and brother in their school works especially in making school projects. I am a helpful, kind, and
a loving daughter, sister, aunt, and cousin to my family and relatives. I am a sharing kind of person. I
used to share my thoughts, knowledge, skills, and talent to those who asked and need my help, even
voluntarily. I am an artistic person. I really love arts, especially those decorative kind of arts such as
making DIY's, designing house plan, gowns and dresses. I also love making paintings, portraits, slogan,
and poster. My skills and knowledge are my foundation in going through the path I'm walking. I am a
dreamer and I am doing my very best to be there in every part of my million dreams.

2. What makes you stand out from the rest? What makes you SELF special?

Answer: My existence that makes me unique is what makes me stand out from the rest. We all go
through experiences, and we react differently to them which make ourselves unique from the others.
God give us a reason why he makes us unique from others. And mine is the reason of my existence.
No one is exactly the same as me. Having skills and talent are what makes me self special. And it
makes me feel more special in times when I used it a way to help others. Yes I love helping others
because it makes me feel the essence of enjoyment. It is my kind of happiness. And for me it may be
the reason why I feel like I stand out from the rest and it is what makes me self special. For me, what
matters the most is what your heart says that may cause your happiness and others either.
3. How's your SELF transformed itself?

Answer: My self transformed itself through expanding to adorn further---the learnings, knowledge,
bravery, and positivity are the essential reason. Every pages of my life, myself gained information.
And in every experiences, I have learned so much. My knowledge from being infant to elementary
which made me discovered every little things. And until I stepped higher school which is high school
and graduated, I know I made myself transformed into a better knowledgeable one. And now that I
started becoming an educator, opening one more chapter for my dream, I know in this part I will do
my very best to surpass every challenges. And being a transformer of my own, I am ready to open
myself forward to receive every learnings and failures.

4. How is your SELF related to other selves?

Answer: In relating myself to other selves, I am tending to make a connection with both sides. And to
be victorious I am opened with both of this sides. Because if the other would not be open, it would try
to resist the effect of the other that may cause chaos. Just like of how we interact with one another.
We all know we have specific roles and strengths that we were specifically created for, and only each
individual personage is capable of. We all present to the world accordingly, when our role and
specialty comes up. And we expect this from one another, for the betterment and survival of the
whole. It is how a system works cohesively. It is how ourselves related to the selves.

Questions Easy or difficult to answer Why?

Lesson 1 Output Activity…

1. Describe what happens to you when you fall in love: Physically, Emotionally, Mentally
(cognitively)?
Answer: There are lots of changes that may happen when we fall in love. It affects us physically,
emotionally, and mentally. Just like what I observed from the people around, I may be experience the
same when I fall in love. The changes physically are those weird blushing on the cheek. The way we
dressed up is not the same as usual, it's like we're getting more careful with our appearance because
there is this feeling of consciousness of how we look in front of that special someone. And the
changes emotionally are those feelings of happiness and sometimes loneliness of missing up, pain is
there, and nervousness also. There are also changes mentally. There are this lots of doubts inside our
mind. And also love turns us out more matured. There is this belief that true love does not
matter anything, for all that matter is what we feel. Love conquers all, it is what's real.

2. How can I be sure that self exists? What are the proofs that self exists?
Answer: Confirming that I have feelings such as I can feel pain, pleasure, happiness, nervousness, etc. I
am so sure that self exists. The proofs that self exists is the moment when you're aware of a thing, or
think a thing it exists in the realm of thought. Or even you do imagine some things it's an evidence
that self exists.

3. Is the self related to a Supreme Being (God), who am I in relation to a Supreme Being/God?
Answer: God is the creator of all things living or non-living. Everything and everybody is related to
Him, and so the self. Every body who is created by someone is self related to his/her creator.
I am one of the creation of the Supreme being. I am His daughter, a believer, a follower,
and discoverer of his word of wisdom. I am also His listener and a deliverer of his words to every
people who is willing to hear out. This is who I am in relation to Him.

4. In your own words, state what “self” is for each of the following Philosophers, after doing so,
explain how your concept of “self” is compatible with how they conceived of the “self”
A. Socrates

Answer: Socrates was more concerned with the subject, the problem of the self. Plato Claimed in his
dialog that Socrates affirmed that unexamined life is not worth living. According to Socrates that
every man is composed of Dualistic reality= body & soul this means that all individuals have an
imperfect, impermanent aspect to him and that is the body, while maintaining that there is also a soul
that is perfect and permanent.

B. Plato
Answer: Plato, Socarates’s student, basically took off from the master and supported the idea that
man is dual nature of body and soul. He echoed Socrates in literally everything.

C. Descartes

Answer: The self for Descartes is also a combination of two distinct entities, the cogito, the thing that
thinks, which is the mind and the extenza or extension of the mind which is the body. Descartes’s
view, the body is nothing else but a machine that is attached to the mind.

D. Hume

Answer: Self according to Hume, is simply “a bundle Or collection of different perceptions, which
succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux and movement in
reality, what one thinks is a unified self is simply combination of all experiences with a particular
person.

E. Ryle

Answer: He believe that the self is a pattern of behavior, the tendency or disposition for a person to
behave in a certain way in certain circumstances. He even suggests that the “self” is not an entity one
can locate and analyze but simply the convenient name that people use to refer to all the behaviors
that people make.

Explanation: My concept of self is compatible with these five philosophers in how they conceived of
the "self" through the way of how they measured in abstractions or anything else. The of the self is to
make proficient use of the things that are measured to live meaningful and gratefully. A beautiful
thing is just a higher-dimensional version of that thing for which one can be grateful. One thing may
affect another, creating a priority for one thing over another. The goal is to balance the things that
may be done with dimensions in light of the things that must be done with exceptions. And there also
maybe other ways to live. Ultimately the goal might be to collect a variety of experiences which have
a high priority. I call this a lawful priority.

Lesson 2 Output Activity…

Answer the following questions cogently and honestly.

1. How would you describe yourself?

Answer: I would describe myself the way how I see it. Well first of all, I am that kind of person who's
very faithful to God but I am rarely seen in the church. I always commit a prayers to God for the safety
of the people around , secretly. I am a negative thinker but at the end trust is always there. I criticize
people from what I've observed, well I am an observer though. There is this side of me that I always
wanted to help, and in some cases I found my self I did. I always hate myself when I know that I hurt
someone, even if I really don't know or even I know that I didn't mean it. It always affects my self-
esteem when I know or either I sense that certain person hate me. I am sensitive. And I am a dreamer.
I find myself imagining a beautiful life I give to my family, and helping other people especially those
low class just like me. That is why I always do my best for me to achieve success.

2. What are the influences of family in your development as an individual?

Answer: My family is my primary social group who teaches me a lot about the basic knowledge when I
was young. And until I grow up they influences my behavior, beliefs, characters, and values which
contributed a lot in my development as an individual.

3. What social pressures help shape yourself? Would you have wanted it otherwise?
Answer: Parents expectations, society's judgements, and teachers high expectations. This three social
pressure I had encountered help me shape myself because every people's expectations me either
don't want a disappointment. I don't wanna see my parents being disappointed by me, that is why I
am doing my best. And every actions I had taken to achieve the best, I am shaping my self. Likewise in
society's judgements case. Evey judgements I do proving them wrong. And to prove it, I am doing my
best to be good and to be better. And even though it is like a suicide to me sometimes? I do wanted it
otherwise, because this social pressures help me shaping myself to be a better person as well.

4. What aspect of your self do you think may be changed or you would like to change?
Answer: I am a little bet shy type, have a low self-esteem, I'm a sensitive kind of person, and a
negative thinker. These aspect of my self are the aspect that I would like to change. I don't want to be
afraid anymore to show my true self. I want to change and let my self be more vocal and open about
my feelings. I wanna raise my self-esteem higher. I don't wanna be so sensitive which lead me to burst
into tears easily. And the reason that I cannot depend myself in certain situations. I don't wanna be a
negative thinker anymore which made me stepped back for the things I wanna do. I know that this
aspect of myself are one of the reason why I feel like I am all behind. I wanna reach the top with the
foot still on the ground. And I know those changes I aim is a huge help for me to achieve it.

1. Do you agree with differentiation between the West and the East? Where can you find the Philippines
in the distinction? What are the factors that make the Philippines similar or different from its Asian
neighbors? Is there also a difference between regions or ethno linguistics groups in the Philippines?
Answer: Absolutely yes, I will agree! Both cultures are beautiful in it's own way. East and West are
vastly different and are both deserve to be respected in their own rights. Philippines distinction may
be found in both eastern and Western. The characteristics of Philippines society, cultures, and
individuals are clearly reflected in both east and west. If we look back at the past regarding the way
how our elders and ancestors lived, we can say that Filipino people have a distinct Asian background,
but as time goes by Filipinos are strongly being influence by Western traditions and cultures. Though
there are some Filipinos in certain places in the Philippines who remains embracing the old ways. The
factors that make the Philippines similar from Asian neighbor are genetics, culture, and geography.
Filipinos genes roots traced back to Southeast Asia. And some cultures are being influenced by Asian.
And we Filipinos are geographically located in Southeast Asia. Absolutely there are also difference
between regions and ethnolinguistics group in the Philippines. We Filipinos knows that there are lots
of regions and languages in our country. All regions have a different beliefs. And all languages have a
different uses.

Lesson 5 Output Activity…

1. Creative Work. Write and Plan a program in your barangay/community/family that will raise the
awareness to help eliminate sexually transmitted diseases especially among the youth.
Answer:
" Protect and Prevent (STD)"
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections spread from person to person during sex (vaginal,
oral, or anal) or close intimate contact. STDs also called sexually transmitted infections, or STIs. I am
going to raise awareness about STDs for everyone's prevention and protection. STDs is one of the
health concerns in the community. So for the people's awareness I am creating this plan for to
increase people's awareness about STD and HIV screening, especially among young adult. It has an
opportunity to raise awareness and encourage people to rethink outdated steroetypes, changelle
myths, and create a movement around education and positive action. Many young people may not
even know they have been infected because STDs don't always have immediate symptoms. However,
by not getting screened, people are at risk for serious health problems such as HIV, Cervical cancer, or
infertility. I want to increase awareness about STDs among residents, employees, and health care
workers to ensure their understandings about the importance of how and where to get screened and
what they can do to protect themselves.

2. Agree or disagree. Are you in favor of legalizing marriage among Homosexuals and Transgender?

Activity!!!
1. How do you feel as you do the MONEY CHALLENGE?
Answer: It feels so exciting and motivating.

2. Which among the items in your list you like most? Why?
Answer: The items that I like the most are the house and lot because I really want my family to move
in a better house than what we have right now, foods of course because I don't want to see my family
struggling because of the lacking of money to buy foods, clothes for my family because I want my
family to experience wearing nicest clothes, and gadgets for my siblings because in this kind of
situation right now gadgets are very essential for education.

3. If ever you were given the chance in real life to have one among the list, which would you choose?
Why?
Answer: In this kind of situation we're facing right now amidst covid-19 pandemic, we all knew that
there are lots of changes around. And one of the most affected is education. The usual way of
education changes a lot. So, if ever I were given the chance in real life to have one among the list I
have above, I will definitely choose gadgets. It is because I know in our family situation we cannot
afford to buy gadgets for our studies. I have lots of siblings who dreams to achieve success through
education, 4 college students and 3 high school students. My parents outcomes for a month is only
2,000 and having a bigger family, the money they have is only for the foods for the whole month. That
is why we wanna achieve success to change the way we live. And we know achieving education is
permanent. And through it, we either I, can achieve the rest of the things in the list above someday.
But I, together with my siblings cannot achieve it right in this kind of situation if we don't have a
gadgets. It is the most essential things right now for education. It is the only way to communicate with
the teachers. And to gain information about the rest of the tasks given in the modules.

4. Let your Family read your list. Ask them to give or write quick impression of yourself based on the list
you showed to them?
Answer: As I read the said activity in front of them, and let them read the list I have, they all say that I
am thoughtful of choosing the things I am going to buy with the million cash. It is the essential things
for our family. They say that these things would definitely change our ways of living.
