SOCIAL IDENTITIES
Are those aspects of the individual’s self-concept that are
derived from the social categories to which he or she perceives
him/herself as belonging to. Social identities link individuals to
reference groups, which establish a set of role expectations and
norms that guide the individual’s behavior within each of the social
identities.

Also rooted in a personal view of what works and does not work;
they may be accepted practices and ways of acting of a given
people during a given period of time. Are an integral part of human
existence; as such they relate to every aspect of life? Values can be
viewed as priorities that relate to a person’s behavior. Specifically,
they are the priorities one is motivated to act upon.

B. Filipinos’ Occidentalism
a. Spanish influence
Centuries of Spanish rule also imposed a severe colonial mentality and left
Filipinos with “a legacy of attitudes that are firmly embedded in society such
as, equating light skin with beauty and high status, the identification of anything
foreign with superiority and indigenous with inferiority, and a conception of
officialdom as a system serving its own ends, not those of the people”
(Gochenour, 1990, p. 6)

A. Family Values
Reliance on the family for love, support, and refuge has historically
been as much an economic necessity as it is a cultural tradition. The
family is the source of one’s personal identity and of emotional and
material support. It also is the focus of one’s primary duty and
commitment. Dependence on, loyalty to, and solidarity with the family
and kin group are of the highest priority (Okamura and Agbayani, 1991).
Family loyalty also might dictate that a young parent temporarily leave
his or her family and children in order to pursue better educational,
training, or employment opportunities in other countries (Santos, 1983).
This sense of family obligation begins early on when children are
conditioned to be grateful to their parents for their birth. A lifelong debt of
gratitude or utang na loob (“debt from within”) thereby creates binding
relationships of love, respect, and obedience (PAPEP), 1982).

b. Morality
c. Nature of morality
Morality affects our daily choices, and those decisions are guided by
our conscience. Many people believe that our conscience is matter
of the heart, and the basic concepts of right; wrong and fairness are
inherent in all of us. The purpose of morality is to provide a frame
work of optimum human survival. The standard of morality, however,
is absolute and immutable – long-term optimum human survival.
True Freedom
The way forward involves liberation from both false freedom and
moralism. Moral action is possible only for a being that is free.
Freedom let the will to choose gives space for creativity, and implies
release from determining factor. Nevertheless true freedom implies
not only the power of self-chosen action but also the proper
orientation power. The power to do whatever he/she wants to do is
not a true freedom because true freedom is oriented to goodness.
Freedom includes the power to choose evil, but freedom is fulfilled
and enhanced and sustained only by choosing the good abusing
liberty leads to losing it.
Moral Intuition
The more carefully you think through your great decision, the more
spontaneous you will be in the host of situations covered by those
decisions. Though few have an appetite for studying and discussing
difficult moral cases, the intellectual dimension to morality is
nonetheless essential. When actions are not governed by our best
thinking we are usually in the current of emotions whose guidance is
less reliable.
Acts of Man – are actions that are instinctive and involuntary and
are not within the control of the will.
Moral actions – are those actions that are in conformity with the
norm of morality. They are good actions and are permissible.
Immoral Actions – are those actions that are not in conformity with
the norm of morality. They are bad or evil actions and are not
permissible.
Amoral Actions – are actions, which stand neutral in relation to the
norms of morality. They are either good or bad in themselves. But
certain amoral actions may become good or bad because of the
circumstances intended to them.
Normal of Morality – are the standards that indicate the
rightfulness or wrongfulness, the goodness or evilness, the value or
disvalue of a thing (R. Agapay, 1991)
Kinds of Law
Whoever knows this principle, does not thereby know the right and
wrong of every action, but he/she knows how to go about the
enquiry. It is a rule of diagnosis.
Where there are no outward action, but only an internal act, and
the object of that act is some good that is willed for its own sake,
there can be no question of means taken, as the end in view is
immediately attained
