2. EXISTENTIALISTS 5. ACCEPTANCE
3. CONSTRUCTIVIST

What’s New:

For me, statement A is more reasonable because I was to share my funny experience to my
classmate who can relate to what I am talking about. My classmate can also share his/her thoughts
about my experience and at the same time he/she can share similar experience wherein we can
learn lesson from it.

What’s More:

Activity 1:

All people experience difficulties of one type or another. I find a close friend to share my
heart with, someone who cares enough to listen – not necessarily to do something. I think it is
important that we accept and understand that we are created for community, for relationship. We
need love, support, kindness, hope and confidence to gain strength to deal with the challenges of
life, and we find that in and through our relationships.
Assessment 1:

Activity 2:

I can establish an authentic dialogue with differently able persons by talking to them as
normal persons, for them to feel that they are loved and cared for.

Assessment 2:

1. a.) A girl hugging a stuff toy/his/her sibling

b.) A special child talking to someone

2. Yes. I can establish friendship with them by:

a.) Talking to them as anormal person
b.) Playing with them a certain game(s) which both of us can play.
c.) Treat them as a normal person but with limitations as to their capability

3. I think, we as a normal person should treat a person with disability as normal but with
special treatment depending on their disability and capability. Talking to them in normal,
guiding them in their activities to be productive.
