CONTENTS THE NATURE OF HUMAN PERSON
The Human Person
Estañol - defines the human person as having physical, spiritual, emotional, and
intellectual attributes
St. Thomas Aquinas - describes the human person as having physical and
spiritual substance because he/she has a soul and is created by a Superior Being
with a divine purpose
Dictionary - define the human person as a “self-conscious animal”
Agbuya (1997)
“He/She is designated by God to exercise dominion over other creatures in
his/her everyday use of freedom, search for happiness, and openness to the world around
him/her. And what makes him/her human is his/her being a true person, which includes
the special gifts and talents of thinking, loving, longing for happiness, and making
decision. The human nature was patterned after the image of God.”
Philosophical View
Protagoras – “a human person is the measure of all things that exist and all things that
do not exist”
Plato – “claimed that the perfect human being does not exist in this world because what
is in this world is just an imperfect copy of humanity’s original self in the realm of
ideas”
Parmenides – “posited that a person has knowledge of something that exists, for a person
who does not exist is nothing”
Sociological Views
Salcedo (2004) states that people look at this social world or at the various ways
that human beings behave in a social way
Sociology as an academic discipline itself is based on the recognition that
human beings are not one-dimensional but rather multi-dimensional
For example
In our society, people work (economic dimension),
have the opportunity to vote in elections (political dimension),
and live in different areas of the country (geographic dimension).
San Juan (2007) propose some common ideas about the human person
1. Human persons are social animals
2. The human person’s social behavior is learned, not instinctive
3. To understand the human person’s social behavior, we have to focus our
attention on the groups to which people belong
4. Sociology is a discipline that looks into the totality of relationships in an
individual’s life.

CONTENTS What is a good Filipino citizen?
A good Filipino citizen is one who plays an active and intelligent role as a
member of the community. He is one who fulfils his duties and obligations to the
government and society. He possesses the traits of respectfulness, courtesy and
consideration for parents and elders and for others. He observes punctuality, promptness,
and good moral conduct. Coloma, T.M. and Herrera,M.M.
You can become good citizens by living in accordance with the good citizenship values
we can derived from the preamble of the 1987 constitution;
The Preamble
“We the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God, in order to
build a just and humane society and establish a Government that shall embody our
ideals and aspiration, promote the common good; conserve and develop our
patrimony, and secure to ourselves and our posterity the blessings of independence
and democracy under the rule of law and regime of truth, justice, freedom, love
equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this Constitution.”
Philosophy of Values
Filipino Values
St. Paul defines love is a different way: Love is patient, it never fails, it is eternal. There
are faith, hope, and love and the greatest of these is love. It illustrates the real essence of
love, which strengthens the foundation of the family and other social groupings. It is the
strongest force within the human community. It provides deeper meaning to the purpose
of human existence.
Here are some highlights from “A Moral Recovery Program: Building a People
Building a Nation” by Patricia Licuanan (1988). The strengths and weaknesses of the
Filipino have their roots in many factors such as;
4. History.
We are the product of our colonial history, which is regarded by many as the
culprit behind our lack of nationalism and our colonial mentality. Colonialism developed
a mind-set in the Filipino which encouraged us to think of the colonial power as
superior and more powerful. The American influence is more ingrained in the
Philippines because the Americans set up a public school system where we learned
English and the American way of life. Another vestige of our colonial past is our basic
attitude toward the government, which we have learned to identify as foreign and apart
from us.
6. Religion.
Religion is the root of Filipino optimism and capacity to accept life’s
hardships. However, religion also instills in the Filipino attitudes of resignation and a
preoccupation with the afterlife and superstition.
9. Mass Media.
Mass media reinforce our colonial mentality. Advertisements using Caucasian
models and emphasizing a product’s similarity with imported brands are part of our daily
lives. The tendency of media to produce escapist movies, soap operas, comics etc., feed
the Filipino’s passivity. Rather than confront our poverty and oppression, we fantasize
instead.
1. Your True Self---Begin with some introspection to help you define your values, your
patterns, and your beliefs.
3. Know You’re Outcome---Set your goals and how to achieve them. This section
really about knowing where you’re going.
4. Design Success--- Lay out your “Success blueprint”. If the prior section covers where
you’re going, this is about how you’ll get there.
7. Life is Circular---Look forward to the future and move on beyond the completion of
your plan.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
A leader has wholehearted faith and belief in the rightness of a cause. A leader who
shows his or her full support to an organization indirectly tells the members to do the
same.
1. A leader should be energetic, sympathetic, friendly, and understanding to
ensure the enthusiastic cooperation of followers.
2. He/she should have confidence in knowing and doing his/her job to gain
the confidence of followers.
Adapted from Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen Covey (2007)
1. Be Proactive.
- Proactive means being able to take responsibility for your life. You
have the freedom to choose your behavior and response stimuli. Use your
creativity and have some initiative. You are the one in charge.
4. Think Win-Win.
- Look at life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Enter
agreement or make solution that are mutually beneficial and satisfying to both
parties.
6. Synergize.
- The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. More tasks can be
done if all things within reach are maximized and utilized. Synergize is the
habit of creative cooperation. Better result can be produced as a group than as
individual.

your life. Schedule some time off everyday and at least one day off each
week. Be organized, but do not be a slave to time management.

prosperity of human beings.
Every group has to make a decision at one time or another and all the member have to
make a commitment to choose the best option available. The following are the
different types of involvement in making decisions.

agreement in decision making is rarely used on important issues.
5. The clique is a small group who plans beforehand to get their way in decision
making, because they are better organized than those who disagree.
6. The handclasp happens when one person makes as suggestion and another
commends it . Without further discussion.
7. The one-person decision is quickly made, but later when the decider needs free or
voluntary support from others to implement the decision.
8. The plop occurs when a group makes a decision by not making a decision at all
someone makes a suggestion, but it is dropped like a stone and no one pays any
attention to it.

What is GROUP?
Dictionary
1. A number of people or things that are located, gathered, or classed together
Psychologists
2. A collection of individuals who find their association with one another
rewarding.
Henry Clay Lingen and John H. Harvey (1981)

- it implies that each member of a group is aware of the other members
and their influence.
GROUP DYNAMICS
- the social process by which people interact in a small group and in a face to face
manner.
According to Keith Davis (1982), states that dynamics comes from the Greek word –
dunamis which means “force”.
Group dynamics then refers to the study of forces operating within a group.
This similarity and the interaction cause them to identify with one another.
Identification and attachment, in turn, stimulate more frequent and intense interaction.
2. Groups are among the most stable and enduring of social units.

complications and increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death.Blood
pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. The
pressure depends on the work being done by the heart and the resistance of the
blood vessels.
Medical guidelines define hypertension as a blood pressure higher
than 130 over 80 millimeters of mercury (mmhg), according to guidelines issued by
the american heart association (AHA) in november 2017.
Around 85 million people in the united states have high blood pressure.
Hypertension and heart disease are global health concerns. The world health
organization (WHO) suggests that the growth of the processed food industry has
impacted the amount of salt in diets worldwide, and that this plays a role in
hypertension.
• Blood pressure consists of two numbers: the systolic pressure (when the
heart beats) and the diastolic pressure (when the heart relaxes): the systolic
pressure is the number above the diastolic pressure
Normal blood pressure
120/80 or lower is considered normal
High blood pressure
140/90 or higher is considered high. If one or both numbers are usually
high, you have high blood pressure or hypertension.
Low blood pressure
Blood pressure that is too low is known as hypotension.
Signs and Symptoms
Headache
Dizziness
Pounding in ears
Nosebleed
Note: These symptoms typically do not occur until high blood pressure
has reached an advanced and even a possibly life threatening
stage.
Prevention of Hypertension
• Quit smoking.
• Limit the intake of alcoholic beverages.
• Lose weight if you are overweight.
• Exercise well balanced nutritious meals that are low in fat, salt, and
cholesterol and one instead high in fiber.
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
• The term "heart disease" is often used interchangeably with the term
"cardiovascular disease." Cardiovascular disease generally refers to
conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to
a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such
as those that affect your heart's muscle, valves or rhythm, also are
considered forms of heart disease.
Causes of cardiovascular diseases are as follows:
1. Smoking – cigarette smokers are at greater risk than pipe and cigar
smokers, but all forms of tobacco are proven to be detrimental to the
heart’s health.
2. Diabetes
3. Overweight – persons who have an excess body fat are at a higher risk
than persons of normal weight.
4. Diet high in saturated fat and salt.
5. Family history – children of parents who developed heart disease before
the age of 55 have a higher risk of developing heart disease.
6. Lack of exercise.
7. Age – risk of heart disease increases over the age of 45 in males and over
55 in females.
8. Too much drinking – you are at risk when you take two alcoholic drinks
per day.
9. High blood pressure.
10. Having high cholesterol level.
HEART ATTACK
A heart attack is permanent damage to the heart muscle due to loss of blood flow to
the heart
Stroke
The brain requires unobstructed blood flow to function. Very high,
sustained blood pressure will eventually cause blood vessels to weaken. Over time
these weakened vessels could break, and blood could leak into the brain. The area
of the brain that is being fed by these broken vessels start to die, and this will cause
a stroke.
DIABETES
• Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels
are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone
that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy.
Types of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes
The body does not produce insulin, people usually develop type 1 diabetes
before their 40th year, often in early adulthood or teenage years.
Approximately 10% of all diabetes cases are type 1.
Patient with type 1 diabetes will need to take insulin injections for the rest
of their life.
Type 2 diabetes
The body does not produce enough insulin or the cells in the body do not
react properly to insulin (insulin resistance).
Approximately 90% of all cases of diabetes worldwide are of this type.
Some people may be able to control their type 2 diabetes by losing weight
and following a healthy diet.
It gradually gets worse and the patient will probably end up having to take
insulin, usually in tablet form.
Symptoms:
• Increased thirst and urination
• Increased hunger
• Fatigue
• Blurred vision
• Numbness or tingling in the feet or hands
• Sores that do not heal
• Unexplained weight loss
CANCER
Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential
to invade or spread to other parts of the body.
Classification of cancer:
• Carcinoma - carcinoma refers to a malignant neoplasm of epithelial origin
or cancer of the internal or external lining of the body. Carcinomas,
malignancies of epithelial tissue, account for 80 to 90 percent of all cancer
cases.
• Sarcoma - sarcoma refers to cancer that originates in supportive
and connective tissues such as bones, tendons, cartilage, muscle, and fat.
Generally occurring in young adults, the most common sarcoma often
develops as a painful mass on the bone. Sarcoma tumors usually resemble
the tissue in which they grow.
• Myeloma - myeloma is cancer that originates in the plasma cells of bone
marrow. The plasma cells produce some of the proteins found in blood.
• Leukemia - leukemias ("liquid cancers" or "blood cancers") are cancers of
the bone marrow (the site of blood cell production). The word leukemia
means "white blood" in greek.
• Lymphoma - lymphomas develop in the glands or nodes of the lymphatic
system, a network of vessels, nodes, and organs (specifically the spleen,
tonsils, and thymus) that purify bodily fluids and produce infection-
fighting white blood cells, or lymphocytes.
• Mixed types - the type components may be within one category or from
different categories. Some examples are:
• Adenosquamous carcinoma
• Mixed mesodermal tumor
• Carcinosarcoma
• Teratocarcinoma
Prevention of Cancer
1. Quit smoking and drinking to significantly lower the risk of several types
of cancer.
2. Stay in the shade and protect yourself with hat, shirt, and sunscreen when
under the sun to prevent skin cancer.
3. Diet is an important part of cancer prevention.
Systematic screening will help detect small irregularities or tumors as early as
possible.
