Activity 5. Let’s Try
Parent 1: I will not let my children go to school with this dreadful situation! Academic freeze
should be implemented instead rather than pushing things with this set-up!
Parent 2: I won’t risk my child’s safety! She should just remain at home and study there!
Parent 1: How else would a child learn at home? There are many distractions! Like the mobile
games! He won’t learn anything with such set-up!
Parent 2: How about you? Won’t you look over your children and guide them? Would you let
them do such things while they’re in classes? You are the responsible one and the children’s
guide with this set-up! Do not drop the new normal learning just because of your incapability!
Reflection
I learned that holistic perspective suggests that we can only understand the parts when we
view them in relation to the whole while in partial perspective suggests that we only understand
one component part of the whole.

I want to learn more on how to differentiate holistic point of view from partial point of
view and to apply it with real life scenarios in order for me to easily analyze situations and point
of views.

moods, maybe due to distress,
depression, and anxiety. This
line was from the first stanza
of the song it was the reason
why it became my favorite
song. It’s more than a song.
It’s a reminder to keep my
feet on the ground and no
matter what circumstances
are, I should remain kind.

Activity 4. Quandaries under Quarantine

1. It took me 18 years of living to come up with a blissful debut and to have it happened
with enhanced community quarantine, is just very unbecoming of my plans. But after all,
this set-up is for the good of everyone. I would celebrate, but make sure to follow all the

quarantine protocols, rather than not celebrating or defying rules, it will just worsen the
situation and it might prolong the quarantine period.
2. I will pity him for his situation, I am more than willing to help him but if riding him will
make us violate the protocols, then I would find other alternatives to help him instead,
which is to lead him to the frontliners and make them do him a favor and buy him his
meds.
3. I couldn’t just go outside like usual to buy my grandfather his medicines so I will contact
the authorities or the frontliners who are in charge of my quarantine period, since they are
the one responsible of it, and tell them my supposed rendezvous.
Activity 5. Less is More Philosophy
1. I should refrain myself from talking much about certain issues I haven’t looked into
deeply.
2. I should lessen my focusing much on what I know and rather let people to speak up their
minds and in order for me to learn from them as well.
3. I should stop doing things because I am overruled by my emotions because it doesn’t
only bring harm to myself but to others as well.
4. I should do social media fasting often and spend time with my family and friends.
5. I should stop focusing on others’ opinion of me because it will only make me inferior or
insecure, and start reflecting and knowing myself more.
Reflection
I learned that doing philosophy can also be applied into daily situations

Truth from Opinions

Activity 1
Truth:
 No, I cannot kill anybody I want to kill.
 There are rules to follow in a civilized society.
Activity 2. Is Juan Right?
2.1 No, this is an example of fallacy under false analogy. Because his arguments assume that
when two things are alike in one respect, they are alike in also one another. It is true that you
cannot see God and you cannot see your own brain. But it does not mean that when you cannot
see your brain, it doesn’t exist.
2.2 Fallacies are arguments that contains unsounding reasoning. They are being used to convince
and accept other arguments.

Activity 3. Let’s Boost Her Morale

I will uphold to Juana’s dignity by respecting her as a person with rights, and
responsibility. Likewise, the school authorities should also be informed for her protection under
Child Protection policy, Anti Bullying, and other rights that she is entitled as a student above all
as a human person regardless of her physical attributes, race, ethnicity, culture, and belief.

His trait that made him achieve his goal is self-determination and/or transcendence,
where he exercises his decisions and action based on his own preference, regulate his action,
goal oriented and self-directed.

attainment of my goal.
