1. How can violence affect relationship among family members? Elaborate your
answer.
- Violence affect relationship among family members through building gaps to
everyone because of the traumatic experience it brought. Violence can cause an
emotional and psychological trauma to a child. It can also be the reason for
separation of married couples and the stress it gives to the victim knowing that
they were living in the same roof with the penetrator. Some victims opt to using
drugs and alcohol to deal with the pain.

2. How can you reduce violence against nature in your own community,
particularly in your purok?
- As a Sangguniang Kabataan Councilor in our barangay, we are tasked to lead the
youth in building sustainable development in our community specifically in our
purok and that includes environmental protection. We create programs and
advocacies that protect nature from violence through recycling plastics, proper
waste disposal and tree planting activities. According to Frances Kuo, a
professor from the University of Illinois “People with less access to nature show
relatively poor intention or cognitive function, poor management of major life
issues, poor impulse control.” The interaction between humans and nature can
reduce violence to both parties.

3. Evidences show that learning life skills among children and adolescent can
reduce their involvement in violence and develop other skills and values. If you
are to learn one very important life skill, what would it be and how do you think
this life skills will contribute to your peaceful living? Follow the format:
a) The life skill I want to learn/develop. (description)
b) Why I want to learn it? (rationale)
c) How can it contribute to peaceful living? ( relate to Peace and Development)
- The life skill I want to develop is my social awareness, to actively listen and be
sensitive to what is happening around me, learning and appreciating the
differences of individuals and groups I’m interacting with. Recognizing the
environments behavior and witnessing how everyone responds to certain
situation will help us avoid violence. I want to develop my social awareness skills
in order have a broad understanding to everything around me and to help me
improve my communication skills to different individuals. I chose this skill
because before I tend to settle in a very small social circle but this pandemic now
made me realize how important it is to have connections with other people for
our emotional, psychological, and social needs. Social awareness can help us
have a peaceful living through our strong empathy towards other people, it will
also teach us to manage our anger and patience, develop our moral values
through shared experiences and maintaining healthy relationships with the
people around us.
