SELF-AWARENESS AND
VALUE DEVELOPMENT
CHAPTER 2
Estañol (2007) 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.
Dictionaries define the human person as a “self-conscious animal”.
Characteristics of Human Person
Babor (2007) in his book, The Human Person: Not Real, But Existing, discusses the several
characteristics of a human person, namely:
1. Rational - Every person is a rational being. This is what distinguishes a person from all other
creatures in the world. As a rational being, a person is free to think and has the capacity to
reason. He can distinguish what is right and what is wrong because he has intellect.
2. Free - All human beings are born free. A person has the freedom to do or not to do a specific
action. However, every person must be responsible for his own action. In other words, a person
can do whatever he pleases but not to the extent of doing harm to his co-creatures.
3. Unique - Every person is unique. Every person has his own identity such that no two persons
are the same. Generally speaking, human beings have the same characteristics and physical
features and but no two persons are the same because every person has its own perception,
has different sets of values and priorities in life.
4. Social being - Every person is intrinsically a social being. He cannot detach his “being” from
others and all other creatures in the universe. Human nature is characterized by his
togetherness and relationship towards other creatures; be it a thing, object or his fellowman.
5. Sexual - All created living things are sexual in nature but the uniqueness of expression of a
person’s sexuality makes it all different. The expression of a person’s emotions, attitudes,
feelings, actions and thoughts in sexual activity best exemplifies his uniqueness from animals.
Considering the characteristics, and their definitions, given above, it can be deduced that a
human person is the ultimate expression of the Supreme Being that has the freedom, capacity
and ability to reason, reflect and relate to his co-existence.

material (body) and spiritual (soul) being. As a vegetative creature, the human person needs to
have food to grow, develop, and reproduce. As a sentient being, he/she needs sensory
perceptions to gain knowledge. As a rational animal, he/she needs the power of thoughts,
reason, and cognition.
Sociological Views of Human Person
A perspective is a particular way of looking at and seeing something. Salcedo (2004)
states that people look at this social world at the various ways that human behave in social way.
San Juan (2007) proposes some common ideas about the human person:
1. Human person are social animals. We need to cooperate with others in some way to
create the social world in which to live.
2. The human social behavior is learned. Not instinctive.
3. To understand the human person social behavior, we have to focus our attention on the
groups which people belong.
4. Sociology is a discipline that looks into the totality of relationships in an individual life.

Hierarchy of Needs
From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological (food
and clothing), safety (job security), love and belonging needs (friendship), esteem, and
self-actualization.
person in the world. However, when these needs are not met, the person may feel inferior,
weak, helpless and worthless.
5. Self-Actualization - it is the highest form of motivation. Maslow describes this need as
reaching the person’s peak potential.
As discussed above, Maslow’s theory pointed out that a person must satisfy first the
other lower needs before he can actually realize his self-worth and potential. Accordingly,
when lower needs are unmet, the person cannot fully devote himself to fulfilling his potentials
(Boeree;1988). He theorized that self - actualization is the driving force of human personality.
Thus, a person cannot appreciate intellectual and aesthetic learning when the person is hungry
and his safety is difficult to obtain. “Artistic and scientific endeavors do not flourish in a society
where people must struggle for food, shelter and safety. The highest motive - self-actualization -
can only be fulfilled after all other needs are fulfilled” (Intro to Psych 10th ed by Atkinson, Smith,
Bem, p. 525).
Following Maslow’s theory, Carl Rogers (1902-1987) in his person- centered therapy
theory, believed that every person has within him an inherent desire towards a positive
transformation and development of his capacity. Furthermore, he came to believe that man
is basically good and inherently possesses a seed of goodness no matter how imprudent his
actions are.
The theory of person - centered therapy of Carl Rogers explained that persons are the
only ones able to change the direction of their lives and which path to take. The therapist’s role
is to act as a “sounding board” while the person himself explores and analyzes his problem
(Intro to Psych 10th ed by Atkinson, Smith, Bem, p 523).
In accordance with the view of Roger’s theory, the writer of this article personally
believes that the therapist being referred to should not be restricted to psychologists only, but
must also be identified with the person’s environment and the people surrounding him. In other
words, the role of our society should be a “sounding board” of our reflections in life to be able for
the individual to realize his problem and create his own solutions for it. It is the individual who
will eventually direct his own life and not the people around him.

PATRIOTISM
Patriotism came from the Latin word “pater” which means “father”. It is the
willingness and determination to lay down one’s life for the fatherland – the constant
resolve to sacrifice one’s life and limb for the preservation of the country. It is the total
realization of that love for the country, which is nationalism. In other words, to be
patriotic is to be nationalistic.
