ACTIVITY 2.1- PROGRAM PROPOSAL

CREATIVE WORK. PROPOSE A POGRAM IN SCHOOL OR COMMUNITY THAT WILL

RAISE THE AWARENESS OF THE STUDENTS AND TO HELP ELIMINATE SEXUALLY
TRANSMITTED DISEASES ESPECIALLY AMONG THE YOUTH.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

As thousands of young men and women head off to colleges and universities across the country –
some for the first time – a new era of freedom and exploration begins. With this newfound
freedom comes the opportunity to meet new people and try new things, such as drinking and
dating. When these new experiences are combined, however, they can increase the risk of
unprotected sex and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs).
This tendency could be due to a variety of factors.
• Oral Contraception - Because many female students use oral contraceptives instead of
condoms, they are more likely to get or spread an STD.
• Technology - The rise of dating sites and apps may make it simpler for people to have "hook-
ups" and casual sex, putting themselves and their partners at higher danger.
• Lack of Education - Most colleges and universities, ironically, do not require sex education as
part of their regular curriculum. Students are trapped with the same beliefs and misinformation
that they were exposed to in high school, much of which came from their peers.
• Lack of Communication - Because most young people have little experience with relationships,
they find it more difficult to talk about sex than to actually have it. That means there will be no
discussion of sexual history, health, monogamy, or even contraception, and they will be left to
their own devices.
• Under the Influence - The entrance of alcohol is one of the most harmful variables in sexually
charged circumstances. At their age, young men and women may have limited relationship
experience. They may not be taking adequate care during their sexual activities due to their
independence and impaired judgment.

To avoid STDs, you can employ a variety of strategies. Abstinence from all forms of sex
(vaginal, anal, and oral) is a sure-fire way to avoid contracting an STD. If you choose to have
sex, you can reduce your risk of contracting an STD by doing so only in a long-term
monogamous relationship. If you have several sexual partners, make sure you use condoms. Oral
contraception, Depo-Provera injections, and other birth control treatments will prevent
pregnancy but not STDs. If you're going to use condoms, make sure you're doing it right. The
majority of birth control methods fail as a result of user mistake. When using condoms, keep the
following in mind:
 For each sex act, use a new condom. Before placing the condom on the penis, do not
unroll it.
 After the penis is erect and before any contact with any part of your partner's body, put
the condom on.
 If the condom doesn't have a reservoir tip, pinch the tip just enough to allow for a half-
inch of space for semen to collect. To keep the condom from breaking, remove any air
from the tip.
 Place the condom on top of the penis while holding the condom rim. Continue to roll it to
the base of the penis while holding it by the rim.
 Stop immediately, remove, and put on a new condom if you feel the condom crack.
 Hold the rim of the condom and carefully withdraw after ejaculation and before the penis
turns soft.
 Gently peel the condom away from the penis, being careful not to spill anything.
 Toss out the condom. They should not be flushed down the toilet because they can cause
plumbing issues.
 If you have several partners, you should not only use protection, but you should also
obtain frequent STD screenings. It would be adequate to do so twice a year. Low-cost
STD testing and condoms are available at your student health center, local health
departments, and Planned Parenthood.

Agree or Disagree. Are you in favor of legalizing marriage among homosexuals and
transgender? Why?
Disagree. One of the goals of a man and woman's marriage relationship is to reveal the mystery
of Christ and the church (Ephesians 5:32). Marriage is a visual representation of our Savior's
relationship with his people. If we in consider marriage to be between a man and a woman, or a
woman and a woman, we get a quite different picture. When we redefine marriage to include
same-sex couples, we are dramatically altering the gospel message that marriage is supposed to
represent. The Bible's message on marriage is sufficient to put an end to homosexuality. Even if
the six texts expressly discussing homosexuality were not found in the Bible, it would be
apparent that homosexuality is a sin. It is ungodly to practice homosexuality. Because Christians
believe what we believe about marriage, we believe what we think about homosexuality.

ACTIVITY 2.4--- REFLECTION PAPER

REFLECT ON VIKTOR FRANKL’S SOURCES OF THE MEANING OF LIFE.
Finding a purpose and taking responsibility for ourselves and other humans,
according to Viktor Frankl, is the meaning of life. We can confront all of life's
"how" questions if we have a clear "why." We will only be able to make the world
a better place if we feel free and confident in the goal that motivates us.
Having said that, we are aware that no question is as difficult to answer as the
"purpose of life." Because such concerns might have philosophical, transcendental,
and moral complexities, we frequently rely on old adages like "be happy and make
others happy," "be content," and "do good." Many others, on the other hand, ask
the question and experience a profound existential void. What does life mean to me
if all I do is work, if all my days are the same, and if I don't find purpose in
anything?
Humans are not obligated to describe life's significance in universal terms. Each of
us will go about in our own way, beginning with ourselves, our abilities and
experiences, and learning about ourselves every day. Furthermore, not only does
the meaning of life range from one individual to the next, but we may have a
different life purpose at each stage of our lives. What matters is that each goal
provides us with satisfaction and motivation to get up in the morning and strive for
what we desire.
We've all witnessed folks who are able to remain positive and motivated in the face
of adversity. What are their methods for accomplishing this? We all have the same
biological structures, but what distinguishes these folks distinct is their willpower.
In each stage of our lives, being resolved to achieve something, overcome all
barriers, and fight for what we desire, no matter how tiny, will help us understand
our purpose.
Life isn't always fair. We work ourselves to exhaustion, investing all of our time,
energy, emotions, and heart... but fate just gives us setbacks. Every hope we had
comes crashing down. Backing down is rational and understandable, but we have
two options when this happens. To begin with, we must think that we have no
control over what occurs to us and that we are victims of circumstance. Second, we
must recognize that we cannot change what has happened to us, but we can modify
how we respond to it. As a result, if we wish to find a more hopeful, higher
purpose of life, we must develop a stronger, more robust, and more cheerful
mindset.
All of the solutions to our life's questions are not found on the surface. Books, as
well as our family and friends, will not be able to describe what our own personal
meaning of life is. All of our desires, passions, and existential objectives are
actually within us. And as we mature and grow, they will change as well.
To sum up, nothing is more important than realizing that we have the flexibility
and duty to set our own goals. According to Viktor Frankl, the meaning of life
revolves around the fact that every second of every day is an opportunity to make a
choice, a choice that will determine whether we will be subject to circumstance
like a puppet in the hands of fate, or if we will act with true dignity, listening to our
true selves.

ACTIVITY 2.5—I AM FILPINO!

Make an acrostic below which will describe you in relation to your being a
Filipino.

F- ierce
I- ntelligent
L-oyal
I-nnovative
P-ersistent
I-nsightful
N-oble
O- ptimistic
 DISCUSS HOW BEING A FILIPINO AFFECTS YOUR “SELF”. HOW CAN
BECOMING A BETTER FILIPINO INFLUENCE YOUR DUTY TO BECOME A
BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF?
Being a Filipino has no effect on my "person," but the Filipino culture has an impact on me.
How particular behaviors affect my physical and mental well-being, causing me to adapt to
new cultures as a result of the Philippines' cultural diversity. And, as a Filipino citizen, it is
my primary responsibility to preserve the cultural customs that have existed since that time.
This can be accomplished via respect and a commitment to continue doing so. And I know
that by doing so, I am being a good citizen and an active individual.
