2. The term "philosophy" simply means the love of "wisdom" (sophia) (philo in Greek). A philosopher,
then, is one who loves wisdom. Plato claimed that a philosopher was somebody who was
“between the wise and the ignorant.” In other words, a philosopher cared about
wisdom but also knew that they were ignorant.

To be wise, there appears to be at least 2 standards you ought to fulfill. You need to know about it (you
need to know lions are dangerous animals). However in the light of this knowledge also you have to act
wisely. To put it another way, based on what you know about lions, you do need to fight the crazy urge to
cuddle them when their cuteness overwhelms you.

3. A. Values are Values are fundamental and essential beliefs which direct or inspire attitudes or behavior.
They help us find out what's important to us. Values define the moral values that we want to uphold in
order to motivate our actions; the kind of person that we choose to be; how we handle ourselves and
others, and how we communicate with the world around us. Values are what are good, attractive, or
worthwhile.

B. Our values represent what makes life so meaningful to us. Values are important because they direct our
beliefs, behaviour and attitudes. Values are important as they can help us anticipate the decisions of the
other, and they can help us to prevent misunderstandings, disappointment and distrust. Understanding that
other people prioritize a different set of values that guide them to different choices may help you
understand better that their choices may vary from everyone else's, and they may be right for them. As
we grow and change as individuals, we will begin to value different aspects of life.

4. Fatalism and Crab mentality is the two general Filipino values in which i find toxic. Fatalism is one of
the values I hate because it makes people weak, mentally, physically and spiritually. Fatalism makes
Filipino's at ease in the less they have when in fact they can have more if they just do more. Humans have
the power to influence their future on how they act and think. Believing that you are powerless to make a
difference or to atleast try makes your mentality weaker. What is meant to happen will happen, if you let
it happen with the same attitude. Why would you live under fate and do nothing if you can live your life
with faith and do everything so in that in the end you'll not regret living.

The other is Crab mentality. Crab mentality is same as being jealous, envy and bitter. This prevents us for
being successful in life. The truth about People who have crab mentality is they can’t do much to improve
their status thats why they force people down so that they can go up in the ladder of success thinking that
they won when the fact is they not. Success is being happy and contented in what you achieve because
you know that you work hard for it without harming others and people who have this mentally will never
know success truly feels.

A lot of people is suffering and crying thinking that they tried their best. Not realizing that they slacked
off and took the easy way out. Because in this world, you can either do the things in easy way, or the right
way.

Activity no. 3: Global Development and Divide

1. Economic growth is the increase in the country's real output in a given span of time.
Whereas Economic Development is the increase in the level of production in an
economy along with the enrichment of living standards and technological
advancement.

Economic growth is seen as a multidimensional trend as it relies on people's wages and

raising the living conditions of the country's population. Although economic development is
perceived to be of a single dimensional type, because it relies only on the country's people's
profits.

2. Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global agenda, adopted by countries in
2015, with a vision of ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring that all
people enjoy peace and prosperity. `The goals and targets are universal, meaning they
apply to all countries around the world, not just poor countries.

3. The Economic Development is the first dimension of development, it is the

mechanism by which a nation's economic well-being and quality of life are
strengthened according to its goals. The second dimension is human development, the
extension of human life's richness. Third aspect is, Sustainable development or
growth by utilizing resources in a manner that helps them to regenerate for others or
continue to live. Last aspect is, territorial development, it is merely a paragliding
concept for the development of different sections of the land.

4. India, China, Mexico is under the global south countries. India is Is the largest democracy
in the region, and one of the fastest-growing economies in the world however, Despite its
fast growth, poverty remains prevalent in India. India changes their industry which
involves getting raw materials from the land, farming or forestry and making products out
of raw materials, food processing and car manufacturing. Their changing the balance on
how they solve problems to help their country develop. China has the most environmental
problems like air pollution, water problems, soil problems, habitat destruction, and
biodiversity loss and mega projects. China is noted for the frequency, number, extent, and
damage of its natural disasters. China deals with this problem through developing their
technology and building strategy. Air pollution is a huge topic in Mexico City, it causes
many health issues for citizens of the city. It is believed that that the air pollution in
Mexico City caused up to 1000 deaths and 35 000 hospitalizations per year. The factors
that are causing this are road construction, dust and diesel trucks and buses and to counter
this Mexico planted ten million trees, forcing gas stations to sell unleaded fuel, install
water vapored systems and introducing alternative fuels for government vehicles.
