Activity #6 Essay
A.
The Philippines, with a score of 32, is considered a collectivistic society. This
is manifest in a close long-term commitment to the member ‘group’, be
that a family, extended family, or extended relationships. Loyalty in a
collectivist culture is paramount, and over- rides most other societal rules
and regulations. The society fosters strong relationships where everyone
takes responsibility for fellow members of their group. In collectivist
societies offence leads to shame and loss of face, employer/employee
relationships are perceived in moral terms (like a family link), hiring and
promotion decisions take account of the employee’s in-group,
management is the management of groups. Collectivist cultures emphasize
the needs and goals of the group as a whole over the needs and desires of
each individual. In such cultures, relationships with other members of the
group and the interconnectedness between people play a central role in
each person’s identity.

LESSON 5 : THE PHYSICAL SELF
ACTIVITY #1 LET’S DIAGNOSE YOUR SELF
Which part of your body are you most proud of? WHY?
I’m proud of my brain. The brain is a much more powerful thing that
you think. What people don’t understand is that it is what makes you
yourself. It controls you movements, your thinking patterns, the way you
see things, the way you want to see things, the freedom of making
decisions, emotions, and the feeling of being free. My brain does so many
amazing things, it is beyond my comprehension. Your brain is the source of
intelligence. It is what keeps you alive.

MY NOTES SEXUAL SELF
Sexual self-concept refers to the totality of oneself as a sexual being,
including positive and negative concepts and feelings. According to
theorists, sexual self-concept is described well along three
dimensions (Snell & Papini, 1989): sexual self-esteem, sexual
depression, and sexual preoccupation. Because attachment style
moderates one’s sense-of-self in general and one’s expectations
about and strategies for approaching relationships, sexual self-
concept may be a good indicator of what kinds of relationships we
tend to get into, and how we tend to behave within relationships,
with an emphasis on sexual satisfaction.
The authors look at a sample of single and coupled adults averaging
35 years of age, ranging from 25 to 45 years of age. They surveyed
630 men and women, an equal number of each. Interestingly, the
level of education in this sample was higher than in the general
population, limiting the results in some ways, but making them
possibly more specific for more highly educated people. Study
subjects completed the following measures:
Demographic
Sexuality Scale, a 30-item scale with 10 items in each area of sexual
self-esteem, sexual depression, and sexual preoccupation, to
measure sexual self-concept
New Sexual Satisfaction Scale, to measure sexual satisfaction
Modified Inventory of Close Relationships, a version of the
Experiences in Close Relationships Scale, a measure of attachment.
The terms they use for attachment style included: secure, avoidant,
anxious, and fearful. People with fearful attachment both yearn for
closeness and are also afraid of intimacy; anxiously attached people
tend to want intimacy but be anxious about being rejected;
avoidantly attached people tend to shy away from intimacy without
feeling as strong a need for closeness.
Study findings
Overall, the researchers found that single people had lower sexual
self-esteem, lower sexual satisfaction, and higher sexual depression.
These findings are in keeping with earlier data on the overall
satisfaction of the “average” single person, though there are, of
course, both exceptions as well as important cultural attitudes
regarding being partnered or single that may contribute to lower
self-esteem for singles as a result of stigma. On average, couples
enjoyed greater sexual satisfaction and better sexual self-concept.
The material self, according to William James, pertains to the objects, places, or
even people which have the label “mine”. Such possessions are viewed as
extensions of individuals ‘identities. The material self consists of things that
belong to a person or entities that a person belongs to. Thus, things like the body,
family, clothes, money, and such make up the material self. For James, the core of
the material self was the body. Second to the body, James felt a person’s clothes
were important to the material self. He believed a person’s clothes were one way
they expressed who they felt they were; or clothes were a way to show status,
thus contributing to forming and maintaining one’s self-image. Money and family
are critical parts of the material self. James felt that if one lost a family member, a
part of who they are was lost also. Money figured in one’s material self in a
similar way. If once a person had significant money then lost it, who they were as
a person changed as well.
For the old critics of luxury, the human self was something pure that existed apart
from the material world.
It was this “material self” that also pushed people to acquire homes and fill them
with possessions. William James and his younger brother Henry, the novelist,
wrote during a boom in home decorating and collecting. In The Spoils of Poynton
(1896) Henry followed the intimate (and ultimately destructive) power that
cabinets, chairs and other treasures had over the main character. In real
life,furniture and possessions were means for families to cultivate and
demonstrate their character.
The spiritual self consists of all your internal thoughts and introspections about
your values and moral standards. It is the essence of who you think you are. It is a
mixture of your spiritual beliefs and your sense of who you are in relationship to
other forces in the universe. The spiritual self is the inner or psychological self.
Two ways of thinking about the spiritual self:
Abstract Way – Isolate each mental faculty from one another
Concrete Way – Unite each mental faculty with one another

PARTS OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT
1.Conscience, 2.Intuition, 3. Fellowship
PARTS OF THE SOUL
1.Mind, 2. Will, 3. EMOTIONS
BODY
Sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing.
The first soul of the Ilokanos is called the kararua, or the soul proper. This is the
term used for the equivalent of the Christian soul that can only leave after death.
Ibanag – ‘Ikaruruwa’The Ibanag have a distinction between body (baggi) and soul
(ikaruruwa). Ikarurua means ‘a companion of the body’.
Mangyan – ‘Karaduwa’The Hanunoo Mangyan believe in a plurality of souls.
Karaduwa tawu/tawo (human soul), karaduwamanok (Chicken soul) Karaduwa
Baboy (pig soul) karaduwa kuti (cat soul) and karaduwa hipon (shrimp soul).
Bisaya – ‘Dungan’A soul can be captured by bad spirits (e.g. egkantu). Souls may
be imprisoned in a spirit cave guarded by old Tan Mulong whose spirit dog has
one mammary gland and two genitals. Sickness is the temporary loss of the soul,
permanent loss is death.
Ilonggo – ‘Dungan’The Ilonggo soul, the dungan is not seen by the human eye.
Sometimes it goes out of the body and takes on visible forms as insects or small
animals A dungan may leave the body voluntarily while the person is sleeping.
Sulod – ‘Umalagad’
Dying among the Sulod is said to be like passing through a narrow door. The
experience is horrible, as if the person has to pull hard to get in the door. Once
one departs they simply disappear. No trace of them is left behind.
Tagbanwa – ‘Kiyaraluwa’
A Tagbanwa has one ‘true soul’ the kiyaraluwa and five secondary souls. The
kiyaraluwa is given to each infant by the god Magindusa as the nose of the child
emerges from the vulva. The secondary souls are located in the extremities of
both hands and feet and in the head just below the air whorl (puyo).
Bukidnon – ‘Makatu’ and ‘Pipitu ha makatu’The makatu, their world for soul,
exists before a child’s birth but it is separate from the body. There is a ritual in
which a miniature cradle is hung over the pregnant mother in a place where the
mother sleeps.
Bagobo – ‘Gimokud’There are two souls called gimokud. Right hand gimokud is
the good soul that manifests as a shadow on the right hand side of the path while
the left hand gimokud is the bad soul that manifests as a shadow on the left side
of the path.
Opportunities, and new life. Let us pray one another to ruin this virus so that God
will heal our land and shower his blessings upon us. This is what I want of how I
live the great commandment of love.

House of Representatives.
These two houses possess equal power, although budgetary bills must
originate in the lower house, while treaty ratification rests exclusively with the
upper house.
//Congress consists of a 24-member Senate and a 250-member House of
Representatives. The voters of the entire nation elect senators to six-year terms.
// Voters from different districts elect 200 of the representatives to three-year
terms. The remaining 50 representatives are selected from lists drawn up by the
political parties to ensure representation of women, ethnic minorities, and certain
economic and occupational groups.
//The number selected from each party’s list is about one-fourth of the number of
the party’s elected representatives. All Philippine citizens who are at least 18
years old may vote.
The Judiciary
Judicial power is vested in the Supreme Court and in the lower courts.
Members of the judiciary are chosen by the president from a list of nominees
provided by the Judicial and Bar Council, a constitutional body composed of
representatives from the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of
government, the legal profession, and the private sector. Once appointed, judges
have secure tenure and can serve until the age of seventy or until they become
incapacitated.
Constitutional Commissions
The constitution also provides for independent constitutional commissions,
namely, the Civil Service Commission, the Commission on Elections, and the
Commission on Audit.
Local Governments
The lowest political unit in the Philippines is the barangay (village). The
barangay is administered by a council headed by a punong barangay
(chairperson). Several barangays make up a city or municipality.
Administrative subdivisions
The Philippines is divided into a hierarchy of local government units (LGUs) with
the province as the primary unit. As of 2007, there are 81 provinces in the
country. International organization participation The Philippines is a founding and
active member of the UN since its inception on October 24, 1945 and is a
founding member of the ASEAN.
Activity #3
Strategies for Effective Learning ( Learning to be a better Person)
The brain acts as a dense network of fiber pathways that consists of
approximately 100 billion neurons which is responsible for all connections among
the three principal parts: stem, cerebellum and cerebrum. Learning can be owed
to the cerebrum, since it is where higher order functions like memory and
reasoning occur. Its tasks become apparent in behavior as each area accomplishes
its functions in hearing, speech, touch, short term memory, language and
reasoning abilities(Ford,2011)
1. HOW LEARNING HAPPENS IN THE HUMAN BRAIN
Expounded by ford (2011), learning happens through a network of neurons
where sensory information is transmitted by synapses along the neural pathway
and stored temporarily in short term memory, a volatile region of the brain that
acts like receiving center for the flood of sensory information we encounter in our
daily lives.
2. METACOGNITIVE.
One amazing wonder the brain is capable of doing besides learning, which is
something that everyone is expected to do, is learning to learn. College students’
state of mind may have learned component skills that allow them to perform a
task, or had completed steps toward producing a product, but they are not
actually learning and mattering knowledge.
Many metacognitive strategies are appropriate for use in the classroom including:
Think-Alouds ( for reading comprehension and problem solving)
Organizational Tools (such as checklists, rubrics, etc. For solving word
problems)Explicit Teacher Modelling (for math instruction)
TYPES OF LEARNING STRATEGIES AND SUPPORTS: COGNITIVE
COGNITIVE STRATEGIES STRATEGY DEFINITION BENEFITS
Rehearsal Reciting items to be learned from a list Believed to influence the
attention and coding process. It does not seem to help students connect current
information with prior knowledge.
Elaboration Summarizing and paraphrasing Believed to improve a student’s
ability to store information into the long term memory by building internal
connections between items to be learned and assisting with the integration of
new information with prior knowledge
Organization Outlining Helps learners select appropriate information and make
the connections to be learned
Analyzing Problem-Solving Critical thinking Assists students with applying
previous knowledge to new situations in order to solve problems and/or reach
decisions.
These are some basic metacognitive ideas or strategies:
Connecting new information to existing knowledge
Selecting thinking strategies deliberately
Planning, monitoring, and evaluating thinking processes.
STUDY STRATEGIES
What shall the students do now to make learning effective? Here are popular
study strategies and learning techniques based on a meta study evaluated by
Dunlosky et al.(2013).
Practice over time. Practice testing refers to any form of testing for learning
which a student is able to do on his or her own.
Questioning and explanation. Elaborative interrogation is a complex name for a
simple concept- asking one’s self why something is the way it is or a particular
concept or fact is true, and providing the answer.
Producing summaries of texts. This is likely to involve the reading and
comprehension of text, as well as the ability to identify the most important
information within it and to encapsulate it briefly in one’s words. .It requires a
complex set of skills that “it can be an effective learning strategy for learners who
are already skilled at summarizing.” Such as Keywords-mnemonic.
Highlighting and underlining portion of text. This also includes rereading.
Highlighting tended to work better for students who were more adept at
identifying the crucial-to-be-remembered aspects of a text.
ACTIVITY 6 ANSWER ME
MY LEARNING STRATEGIES
In order for my students to learn here are my simple but terrible learning
strategies :
GAMES- Before I start my discussion I prepare a game which is connected to my
discussion like scramble words, 4 pics one word and etc. so that they feel an
excitement to our topic that I will discussed later to them.
ELOBARATION- As a teacher it is important to elaborate the topic that I’ve
discussed to them so that they will easy get the point of my discussion and we can
move to the other part of the discussion.
QUESTION – I will ask my students if they have clarification or things that they
don’t understand so that they are no doubt to answer my quiz later on.
REPORTING- After my discussion I will group my students and I will give them an
activity that is connected to our discussion and they will report it.
QUIZZES – After the discussions, questions and reporting I will give a short quiz to
my students so that they will not forgot the lesson that I tackle to them and also
it will measure their learnings if they gain learnings to our topic in that day.
ACTIVITY#4 As a college students , what is your goal to fulfil your course taken
today. Set and write your own goals. In a simple term.
FIRST,
HARDWORK, as a student like me, it is important to be a hardworking student to
gain knowledge and have better grades. For me I believe that hardwork is the key
to success.
SECOND,
FOCUS ON MY STUDIES, through focusing my studies I will able to submit my
modules and comply the requirements about my course that I taken today. The
another advantage is that I can gain learnings.
THIRD,
HAVE RESPECT, SHOWING KINDNESS TO PEOPLE, as a student having respect to
people is one of my goals because if you respect people, people will learn to love,
to guide and to help you when the time that you need help and the time when
you are down. And you will become successful.
FOURTH,
HELP MY PARENTS, even if I’m studying I still need to help my parents because
they are my only source when I néed money to buy ballpen, paper, bond paper
and other materials on the school that I need.
ACTIVITY 5: MY REFLECTION!
CREATE YOUR OWN REFLECTION : 5 TO 10 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT IS YOUR
GOALS IN LIFE, determine the possible difficulties that you might encounter and
discuss how are you going to overcome them.
MY GOALS IN LIFE
5 to 10 years from now my goals in life are to find a stable job, to travel
around the world with my family, Giving my parents a better life and create my
own family. I know all of us that the problem is always there, they are always
there to make us strong, to make us a better person and productive individual. If
there is no problem we encounter we will not become stronger, we can’t learn
how to overcome them.
My Goals I’ve been written is not easy to achieve I know there are a lot of
hindrances I’ve face in that time. We cannot easily get our goals if we don’t have
courage, determination, and hard work. We need to seek God, we need to be
humble, we need to be brave in times when we face problems in life, and most
important thing is that our relationship with God. In order for us to overcome
problems we will be facing in the future we need God because He will give
solutions to our different problems we face and He is able to help us.
All my goals and plans in my life I depend it unto God. Because I know he will
help me to guide and give his path for me to become a successful person
someday and all my goals will achieved through him.
SOURCES OF COPING
As mentioned earlier, stress is a negative experience, usually accompanied by
emotional, physiological, cognitive, and behavioral adjustments. The term,
coping, according to Lazarus & Folkman (1984), is the
Process of attempting to manage the demands created by stressful events that
are appraised as taxing or exceeding a person’s resources. Among the coping
resources to improve the ability to manage stressful events and better health
outcomes include optimism, psychological control or mastery, self-esteem, and
social support.
OPTIMISM refers to the outcome expectations that good things rather than bad
things will happen to the self( Scheier et.al 1994).
PERSONAL CONTROL OR MASTERY refers to wether a person feels able to
control or influence outcomes ( Thompson,1981)
. SELF- ESTEEM that is positive and high, is also protective against adverse
mental and physical health outcomes, thereby contributing to better
psychological well-being. Self-esteem is often defined as an individual’s self-
perception of his/her abilities, skills, and overall qualities that guides and/or
motivates specific cognitive processes and behaviors (McCrae & Costa, 1988).
SOCIAL SUPPORT is defined as the perception or experience that one is loved
and cared for by others, esteemed and valued, and part of a social network of
mutual assistance and obligations( Wills,1991).
THE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL DIMENSIONS OF STRESS
When we see today around us magnifies the reality of Dr. Tan’s work. How
Filipinos deal with stress is a trademark of orientation they had with the social
world. Dictated by the stringent cultural compliance they were exposed to while
growing up. In the end, Filipino are still proud of how unique these manners of
coping are; what makes them ultimately happy in the end is the one that matters
much.

Family stress is defined as disturbance in the steady state of the family system.
One of the major sources of stress in our family is the problem of Increasing in
financial obligations. My father his job is not stable he is a carpenter and his salary
is enough to supply our daily needs. We don’t have budget when there is an
emergency like hospitalization.
In addition, We also experiencing emotional problems like anger, depression
and anxiety. Because of the different problems we face. In order to overcome
those problems we need hardwork to find money and budget it so that in the
time of emergency we have money to use. To overcome Emotional problems it is
important to us to have family bonding, control of our emotions, and avoid
making conflict in the house so that we would experience peace.
