LESSON: Drug Addiction and Prevention

Addiction
It is defined as physical and psychological
dependence on psychoactive substances (for
example alcohol, tobacco, heroin and other drugs)
which cross the blood-brain barrier once ingested,
temporarily altering the chemical milieu of the brain.
Addictive substances are substances that causes
addiction/compulsion/dependence over a period of
time.

1. PSYCHOACTIVE DRUGS
2. ALCOHOL
3. CIGARETTES
Classification of Psychoactive Drugs
1. Stimulants- are a class of psychoactive drug that
tend to increase activity in the brain.
-Due to their effects typically having an "up" quality
to them, stimulants are also occasionally referred to
as "uppers".
Example. Caffeine, cocaine, nicotine
2. Depressants- are drugs that inhibit the function of
the central nervous system and are among the most
widely used drugs in the world.
Depressants or "downers", which decrease
mental and/or physical function, are in stark
contrast to stimulants and are considered to
be their functional opposites.

-examples : tranquilizers, barbiturates,


inhalants and chloral hydrate.
3. Hallucinogens- are psychoactive drugs that affect
thinking, alter moods and distort perceptions.
Example: lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD, acid)

4.Cannabis- drug that is smoked and produces mild


effects of stimulants and depressants.
Example : marijuana
5. Narcotics- are used to relieve pain and induce
sleep. Some examples of narcotics are opium,
morphine, and methadone. Heroin is the most
used.
6. Inhalants- include a variety of volatile compounds
that produce unpredictable, drunk like,
hallucinogenic effects on users.
Example : Rugby
• Drug dependence may either be physical or
psychological or both.
1.Physical dependence ( drug
addiction)
Certain psychoactive drugs like heroin,
alcohol and cocaine cause a change in the body
chemistry when taken frequently in large doses
over a long period of time. The human body
becomes used to the presence of the drug. Having
used to the drug, the body begins to need it as
much as it needs food. If the use of drug is
stopped, the body reacts by showing withdrawal
symptoms like trembling, hallucinations, nausea
and vomiting.
• 2. Psychological dependence
Some drugs do not produce physical
dependence, that means the body does
not need the drug nor crave for them.
The drug abuser is convinced in his mind
that he needs the drug. It is more of a
mental need. He feels he cannot be happy
and contented without the drug, which has
become a very important part of his life.
Phases of Drug Dependence
• 1.Experimental Phase
The new user takes drug for the first time. in his
life. Some first timers may experience some ill
effects. Some vomit. The unpleasant effects often
turn off many beginners. They stop using drugs.
2.Occasional or Social Use
Some beginners are assured by their drug using
friends that the unpleasant effects are normal and
would pass away, and decide to continue using
drugs. He uses drug only when it is made available
to him. At this stage he does not have a craving yet
for drugs. He does not go out of his way to look for
drugs.
• 3. Regular Use
In this stage , he actively seeks the drug
of his choice. He tries to make sure that he
has a ready supply of the drug. The craving

behavior becomes noticeable. In time, the
craving for the drug increases.
4. Drug dependence
• In this stage, the user uses drug
day-by-day. He has to have the drug at all
cost. He rather buys drug than food. His life
and his future is ruined at this point.

TREATMENT

Drug treatment is intended to help addicted


individuals stop compulsive drug seeking and
use. Because drug addiction is typically a
chronic disorder characterized by occasional
relapses, a short-term, one-time treatment is
usually not sufficient. For many, treatment is a
long-term process that involves multiple
interventions and regular monitoring. There are
many rehabilitation centers which can help drug
addicts.
Effects of drug addiction to the
community
a. Increase of petty crimes
b. Increase of drug dependents
and pushers
c. fear of the residents
Weapons to combat the drug menace
1. Awareness of children’s behavior
and attitudes of parents
2. Drug abuse awareness and
education
3. Public information
• 4. The value of treatment programs.
ALCOHOL
EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL
A.Personal health problems
1. impaired judgments and critical thinking
2. poor body coordination
3. shock to unconsciousness
4. low birth weight
5. heart problems
6. abnormalities of the infant of an alcoholic
mother
B. Social related problems
1. poor impression of personality
2. commitment of crimes and violence
3. accidents
4. suicides
EFFECTS OF SMOKING

1. Cancer

- Lung cancer isn't the only cancer that can be


caused by smoking.

2. Emphysema - This is the breakdown of lung


tissue, which is very thin and delicate.
3. Heart disease

A smoker has 2 - 4 times


the chance of developing
chronic heart disease
than a non-smoker. In
fact, as a smoker, you
are more likely to die
from heart disease than
from cancer.
4. Effects of Smoking During Pregnancy

-There have been many studies done on the


effects of smoking while a woman is pregnant (or
breathing second-hand smoke during her
pregnancy).

-Not only can smoking during pregnancy lead to a


spontaneous abortion, but also low birth weight
and under-development of the baby.
TREATMENT

There are essentially two types


of Alcohol Rehabilitation
and Treatment Centers – in
patient centers and out patient
facilities. Typically, the most
effective type of facility is an
inpatient facility because the
patient is restricted in their
activities, and everything is
monitored.

INTRODUCTION

• Disasters, whether
natural or human-made,
affect everyone, especially
the poor, children,
women and the elderly
who have the least
capability to deal with
disasters.
From 1994 to 2003, some 2.5
billion people were affected
by natural disasters alone
worldwide, which is an
increase of 60% over the past
decade.
• More than 478,000 people
were killed during this
period.
• Floods and earthquakes are
the deadliest accounting for
more than half of the total
casualties.
RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE
• RP is vulnerable to almost all types of natural hazards
because of its geographical location.

Located within the Circum-Pacific belt of fires and


along typhoon path, the Philippines becomes exposed
to natural perils like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
typhoons and their resultant effects like tsunami,
landslides, floods and flashfloods.

As an archipelago with 7,107 islands, the threat of
tsunami affecting the country’s coastal
areas is not far-fetched.
Disaster
- is an extreme disruption of the functioning of a society that
causes widespread human, material, or environmental losses
that exceed the ability of the affected society to
cope using only its own resources.

Disaster Preparedness
- refers to measures taken to prepare for and reduce the effects
of disasters.
DISASTERS
§ TYPHOON & FLOOD
§ EARTHQUAKE
§ FIRE
§ BOMB THREAT
Typhoon
ž Is a “tropical storm” of
damaging proportion.

ž can hit at any time of the


year but are most likely to
occur in the Philippines from
July to October.
In the Philippines, four signals are
hoisted progressively at the onset
of a typhoon
Signal #1: signifies a threat of an
approaching typhoon or tropical
depression within 36 hours.
Signal #2 : indicates the likelihood of a
typhoon within 24 hours.
Signal #3: means that a typhoon is
expected within 18 hours.
Signal #4: is used to denote a direct hit
by a typhoon within 12 hours.
* As soon as the first typhoon signal is raised, all should start
preparing.
Once the Number 2 and 3 signal is raised, schools are suspended
and government offices are usually closed. Private business takes
its cue from government announcements or it depends on the
discretion of the company.
PAGASA issued a statement explaining the color-coded rainfall warning
signals.
The rainfall warning system has three
levels: yellow, orange and red.

žA yellow warning is raised when the


expected rainfall amount is between
7.5 millimeters and 15 millimeters
within one hour and likely to continue.

ž Targetareas of this warning signal are


warned against possible flooding,
particularly in low-lying areas.
ž The orange alert (formerly green) is
raised in areas where rainfall volumes
of 15 millimeters to 30 millimeters
were observed for an hour. In this alert
level "flooding is a definite threat."
ž Red alert, meanwhile, is issued when
"downpours constitute an
emergency."
ž The highest alert level is issued if the
amount of rainfall observed for an
hour ranges from 30 millimeter to 65
millimeters.
Safety Measures
(Before, During, & After Typhoon)
Before the typhoon

1. Store an adequate supply of food and clean water. Prepare


foods that need not be cooked.
2. Keep flashlights, candles and battery-powered radios within
easy reach.
3. Examine your house and repair its unstable parts.
4. Always keep yourself updated with the latest weather report.
5. Secure domesticated animals in a safe place.
6. Should you need to evacuate, bring clothes, a first aid kit,
candles/flashlight, battery-powered radio, food, etc.
During the typhoon

1. Stay inside the house.


2. Always keep yourself updated with the latest weather report.
3. If safe drinking water is not available, boil water for at least
20 minutes. Place it in a container with cover.
4. Keep an eye on lighted candles or gas lamps.
5. Do not wade through floodwaters to avoid being electrocuted
and contracting diseases.
6. If there is a need to move to an evacuation center, follow these
reminders:
• Evacuate calmly.
• Close the windows and turn off the main power switch.
• Put important appliances and belongings in a high ground.
• Avoid the way leading to the river.
After the typhoon

1. If your house was destroyed, make sure that it is already safe


and stable when you enter.
2. Beware of dangerous animals such as snakes that may have
entered your house.
3. Watch out for live wires or outlet immersed in water.
4. Report damaged electrical cables and fallen electric posts to
the authorities.
5. Do not let water accumulate in tires, cans or pots to avoid
creating a favorable condition for mosquito breeding.
FLOOD

• Floods are the most


common and widespread
of all natural disasters.

• Floods can be slow or fast


rising but generally
develop over a period of
days.
Safety Measures

• NEVER drive through flooded roadways!


• If the vehicle stalls, leave it immediately and seek higher
ground.
• Store drinking water in various containers. Water service may
be interrupted.
• Keep a stock of food that requires little cooking and
no refrigeration.
• Keep first aid supplies on hand.
• Keep a battery-powered portable radio, emergency cooking
equipment, and flashlights in working condition.
• Avoid areas subject to sudden flooding.
• Children should NEVER play around high water, storm drains,
or viaducts.
After the Flood
• Clean up.
• If fresh food has come in contact with flood waters, identify and
throw it out.
• Boil drinking water before using.
• Seek necessary medical care at the nearest hospital. Food,
clothing, shelter, and first aid are available from the Red Cross.
• Electrical equipment should be checked and dried before being
returned to service.
Also, keep note of these contact numbers in case of typhoon emergencies:
1. Philippine Coast Guard: 527-8481 local 6290 and 6292; 328-1098
2. Philippine National Red Cross: 527-0000
3. National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC): 911-1406 ,
912-2665 , 912-5668
4. Manila Electric Co. (Meralco): 16210
5. Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA): 136 (hotline); 0920-947-
2503 (towing concerns); 0920-947-1632 or 0917-561-8709 (duty officer)
Emergency Hotline: 117
Earthquakes
- are the shaking, rolling
or sudden shock of the
earth’s surface.
Earthquake Safety Measures
• Don't panic. If you are inside a building, stay inside. If you
are outside, stay outside.
• If you must move outside, get away from the building,
power lines, and trees.
• Crouch down and cover your head and eyes.
• Find the “safe places” in every room of your home and
workplace.

Safe places:
• under or beneath the desk or table, against an interior wall,
away from bookcases or other heavy furniture that could fall
on you.
• away from possibly breaking windows.
• If you are indoors during an earthquake, practice
"drop, cover and hold on”,
drop- or get close to the floor, under a table or desk or near
an interior wall,
cover- or cover your head and eyes with your arms, and
hold on- hold onto something sturdy/anything handy.
FIRE
ž A rapid, persistent chemical
change that releases heat and
light and is accompanied by
flame.
ž Most victims of fires die from
smoke or toxic gases and not
from burns.

Major Causes:
ž electrical/faulty wirings & outlets
ž unplugged appliances
ž heating
ž unattended stoves
ž children playing matches, etc.
Fire Safety Measures

ž Keep a fire extinguisher near you and have it checked regularly.


Learn how to use it.

ž Use this to put out small fires. You can also use water if the fire
is not electrical or chemical.
• If there’s a fire that is too big to put out, leave the building
immediately.
• If there is smoke in your house, cover your nose and mouth
with a small cloth and stay low to the ground as you’re leaving.

If you’re in a room with the door closed when a fire breaks out:
• Do NOT open the door if the door is hot, there is smoke coming
through the cracks around or under the door, or the doorknob
is hot.
• If you are trapped in the room, use wet towels, or clothing to
seal off any cracks or vents around the door. You could even put
a light-colored cloth (like a white t-shirt) outside the window to
let firefighters know where you are.
• If the doorknob feels cool and smoke is not coming in the room,
open the door slowly and carefully. Then quickly exit the
building.
• If a fire starts in your kitchen because of oil or grease, try
tossing baking soda or salt on it. Or put a lid over the flame if
the fire is in a pot or pan.
If your clothes catch fire, Do NOT run. This could make the fire
spread more quickly. Instead, stop, drop, and roll:

stop, drop to the ground

cover your face with your hands, and

roll back and forth until the fire is put out.


Bomb Threat
- An information or warning usually
verbal or written, claiming
knowledge that a dangerous device,
such as a bomb or similar type of
explosive, has been or will be
placed in a building, aircraft or
other facilities, whether or not such
a device actually exists.
WHY PREPARE AGAINST BOMB INCIDENTS?
• Through preparation, we can reduce the accessibility of our
building and identify those areas that can be "hardened"
against the potential bomber.
• Proper planning can also reduce the threat of panic and
decrease the potential for injury and property damage.

RESPONDING TO BOMB THREATS


• Each threat received through any means of communications.
• Keep in mind that the vast majority of threats are false and
are primarily intended to elicit a response from the building
occupants.
• But, it should be treated as real and must be forwarded
immediately to the proper authorities.
Handwritten or Typed Notes
• Documents and other materials
received should be carefully
handled to preserve marks,
fingerprints, etc. for
examination by competent
authorities.
• These items should be
forwarded immediately to the
proper authorities for analysis
and evaluation.
• Written messages should never
be ignored.
E-mail
• Make sure to save the
information on your computer.
• Forward immediately to the
proper authorities.

Telephone Bomb Threats


• The receiving party must remain
calm and courteous.
• Try to obtain as much
information as possible from the
caller.
Bomb Threat Call Procedures
1. Remain calm and immediately refer to the information listed
on the Bomb Threat Checklist and keep the caller on the line
as long as possible to attempt to gather as much information
as possible.
2. Get the identity of the caller.
3. Take note of the following characteristics:
• male or female voice
• young, middle-age or old sounding voice
• accent of voice
• any background noise
• does the voice sound familiar.
3. Note the exact words of the person placing the call.
4. Show no emotion on the phone.
5. Know the exact location of the bomb.
6. Ask for a description of the bomb/composition of the
explosive.
7. Apply delaying tactics and engage the caller in prolonged
conversation.
8. Take note of the exact time the suspect hung up.
9. Remember that the caller may not answer your questions, but
any additional information that he may relate will be
helpful.
10. It may be advisable to inform the caller that the building is
occupied and the detonation of a bomb could result in
death or serious injury to many innocent people.
11. Immediately after the call has ended, notify your immediate
supervisor and local police .
12. The receiver of the threat shall remain available for interviews
and give the completed Bomb Threat Checklist information
to the respondents.
13. If there is validity to the threat, evacuation of the
personnel is mandatory following the established
evacuation procedure.
14. After evacuation, building search shall be conducted by the
Explosives Ordinance Disposal Division (EODD), Crisis
Management Team and personnel who is familiar with
the work area.
15. If a suspicious device, package, bag, etc. is discovered, it is
to be left alone, DO NOT TOUCH IT!
16. Once a bomb is discovered the building will be under the
jurisdiction of EODD.
17. The decision to resume normal activities in the building will
be made by the Director, in consultation with the
Crisis Management Team and EODD.
NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
With the approval of Republic Act No. 10121 otherwise
known as the “Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Act of 2010” on May 27, 2010 and its
Implementing Rules and Regulations on September 17,
2010, the National, Regional and Local Disaster
Coordinating Councils created under Presidential Decree
No. 1566 series of 1978, have been renamed as
National/Regional/Local Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council.
Mission
NDRRMC serves as the President’s adviser on disaster
preparedness programs, disaster operations and
rehabilitation efforts undertaken by the government
and the private sector. It acts as the top coordinator of
all disaster management and the highest allocator of
resources in the Philippines. The NDRRMC was
formerly known as the National Disaster Coordinating
Council (NDCC).

It is a break in the continuity of a tissue of the body either


internal or external.

Types of Wounds:
1. Closed Wound
involves the
underlying tissue without
break or damage in the skin
or mucous membrane.
Causes:
ž Blunt object result in
contusion or bruises.
ž Application of external
forces
I - Ice or cold packs(every
15 minutes- 20
Signs and Symptoms: minutes for 3-4 hrs
ž Pain and tenderness C - Compression over the
ž Swelling area of injury to
ž Discoloration

ž Hematoma
E - Elevation
ž Uncontrolled restlessness S - Splinting
ž Vomiting or cough up
blood
ž Signs of blood along
mouth, nose and ear canal
2. Open Wound – there’s a breakage in the continuity of the
skin.
Types:
ž Puncture
penetrating pointed
instruments (nails, ice picks,
daggers).

ž Abrasion
Scrapping or rubbing
against rough surfaces.
ž Laceration

Blunt instruments (knife, rocks, and broken glasses).

ž Avulsion
Explosion, animal bites, mishandling of tools.
ž Incision - sharp bladed instruments
(blades, razors, etc)

With severe bleeding:


C - Control Bleeding
C - Cover the wound with dressing and
secure with a bandage
C - Care of shock
C - Consult or refer to physician
With minor bleeding:
• Clean the wound with soap and water
• Apply mild antiseptics
• Cover wound with dressing and bandage
BURN
It is an injury involving the skin,
including muscles, bones, nerves,
and blood vessels. This results from
heat, chemicals, electricity or solar or
other forms of radiation.

Common Causes:
ž Carelessness with match and cigarette smoking.
ž Scald from hot liquid.
ž Defective heating, cooking, and electrical equipment.
ž Immersion overheated bath water.
ž Use of such chemicals, as lye, strong acids & strong
detergents.
Three Depth Classifications of Burns
ž Superficial - 1st Degree Burns (e.g. sun burns)

ž Partial Thickness - 2nd Degree Burns (e.g. blisters, scald


from hot water)
ž Full Thickness - 3rd Degree Burns
(e.g. bones are being exposed,
exposed to electrical current)

ž Relieve pain by immersing the burned


area in cold water or by applying wet,
cold clean cloth.
ž If cold water is unavailable, use any cold
liquid to drink to reduce the burned skin’s temperature.
ž Cover the burn area with a dry, non-sticking, sterile
dressing or a clean cloth.
ž Don’t use any kind of toothpaste as treatment.
Sprain
- is caused by torn fibers in a ligament.
Three Degrees:
ž 1st degree - results in stretched
ligament

ž 2nd degree - results in partly


torn ligament

ž 3rd degree - results in completely


torn ligament
Causes of Sprain:

BANDAGING TECHNIQUE
Guidelines in using Dressing and Bandages
1. Use a dressing that is large enough to extend at least
one (1) inch beyond the edges of the wound

2. If body tissue or organs are exposed, cover the


wound with a dressing that will not stick, such as
plastic wrap or moistened gauze. Then secure the
dressing with a bandage or adhesive tapes

3. If the bandage is over a joint, splint and make bulky


dressing so the joint remains immobilized.
4. A bandage should fit snugly but should not cut off
circulation or cause the victim discomfort. The
bandage is too tight and should be loosened if the
area beyond the wound changes color, begins to
tingle or to feel cool, or if the wound starts to swell.

5. Bandaging techniques depend upon:


• Size and location of the wound
• Your first aid skills
• Materials at hand

Topic 5: Environmental Management
Objectives:
1. Explain the terms used for
environmental management
2. Discuss the process of
global warming and its effects
on earth and livig things
3. Adapt different ways of
managing the environment
4. Follow the laws on proper
waste disposal
Topic V - ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT
Environment Management
means planned management of the
natural resources of the total environment of
a particular ecosystem to prevent exploitation
, pollution, destruction or neglect and to
ensure the future use of the resources. It is
synonymous to conservation.
Conservation
based on the knowledge of ecology
Ecology
Ecology alone is based on a wide variety
of disciplines, and conservation involves
human feelings, beliefs and attitudes as well
as science and technology.
Global Warming
• the process of warming the earth caused
by the so called greenhouse effect which
traps the solar radiation in the atmosphere
due to the presence of carbon dioxide ,
methane and other nitrous-oxide.

• Greenhouse Gases
The major contributors to climate
change. They form a blanket around
the earth preventing the sun’s heat
from bouncing off into the space,
making the earth warmer.
What is global warming?

The changes in the surface air


temperature, referred to as the
global temperature, brought
about by the enhanced
greenhouse effect, which is
induced by emissions of
greenhouse gases into the air.
The average temperature of the
Earth's surface is around 59˚F
or 13 ˚C.
Greenhouse Gases in the
atmosphere hold in heat
Without these gases, the
Earth’s surface temperature
would drop to around 0 ˚F.
The Atmosphere
• The Earth is surrounded by a thin layer of gases

• Oxygen

• Carbon Dioxide
• Nitrous Oxide Greenhouse gases
• Methane
How Global Warming Works

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)


Example of the
Greenhouse Effect
The Sun’s energy
passes through the
car’s windshield.

This energy (heat)


is trapped inside
the car and cannot
pass back through
the windshield,
causing the inside
of the car to warm
up.
What’s the difference
between “global warming”
and “climate change”?
Difference
GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE

people:
1. Socio-Political Stability
2. Territorial Integrity
3. Economic Solidarity and Strength
4. Ecological Balance
5. Cultural Cohesiveness
6. Moral-Spiritual Consensus
7. External Peace
Elements of National Security
Socio-Political Stability
It is to achieve peace and harmony among all Filipinos,
regardless of creed, ethnic origin, and social status. The
government and the people must engage in nation-
building under the rule of law, constitutional democracy,
and the full respect for human rights.
Territorial Integrity
This means that the territory of the country is
intact and under the effective control of the
government. It is to ensure the permanent
inviolability of our national territory and its
effective control by the Government and the
State.
Economic Solidarity and Strength
It is to collectively pursue and build the
economy to be strong, capable of supporting
national endeavors, and derives its strength
from the solidarity of our people.
Ecological Balance
The national survival rests upon the
effective preservation of our natural
resources in the face of industrial and
agricultural expansion and population
growth.
Cultural Cohesiveness
Our lives as a people
must be ruled by a
common set of values and
beliefs grounded on high
moral and ethical
standards, drawn from
our heritage and
embodying a Filipino
standard.

HOME SECURITY TIPS
•Fence should be in a state of
good repair

•Gates locks in good condition

•Remove things, shrubs that


can help wall scaling

Lights at strategic areas


•UNUSED DOORS CLOSED AND
LOCKED
•SPARE KEYS SECURED
•KNOW EVERYONE WHO HAS KEYS

•WINDOW GRILLS INSTALLED

•FIRE EXTINGUISHER AVAILABLE

•VALUABLES SECURED
If you awake to the sound of an intruder,
you have several options:
a) Lie quietly to avoid attracting attention
b) You may choose to open lights and
make noise.
c) If you see signs of a break-in or
suspicious persons inside your home, do
not attempt to go in as the robbers may
still be inside.
d) Remain calm and do not panic.
Although a robber would prefer to avoid
confrontation, they are easily agitated and
more prone to uncalled for abuse or
violence.
e) Try to talk it out with the robbers. If
you are up to it, this will delay them, and
allow for alternative action on your part, if
the situation allows.
f) Note all peculiarities and
mannerisms of the robbers, if you come
face-to-face with them. Tattoo marks,
physical defects, moles and speech
mannerisms will help in giving the
security a more solid description of the
robbers.
1. Day or night, do not walk in dark streets,
alleys and unsafe shortcuts.
2. Stay away from dark isolated places or
vacant lots at night. These areas are hangouts
of criminals.
3. Do not walk between parked cars in
parking lots.
4. At night, wait for buses, taxicabs or jeepneys
in well-lighted areas.
5. When going to economically
depressed areas do not wear expensive
jewelry and carry substantial cash.

6. Do not flash a lot of cash around


when travelling. Money attracts the “bad
eggs.”
•Do not wear provocative clothing

•Do not accept rides or invitations from strangers

•Don’t lose your composure when confronted by a


would-be-rapist.

•Avoid unlighted places.

•When riding alone with a taxicab, take note of the


body or plate number of the car and its name.
•When walking alone, avoid drunks, unruly
groups
• Unless necessary, avoid walking alone.
•When attacked, use your natural defenses
and act fast, scratch, kick, jab, bite and
scream.
•When you break away from the attacker,
continue screaming and run towards
lighted places
At home do not move alone
half-dressed or naked. This is
an invitation to “peeping toms”
and rapist.
Self Awareness

Nature of Self
Nature of Self

1. What is a human person?

2. What is the nature of a


human person ?
3. How does a person attain his highest
potential that can create a positive result
towards society?
The Human Person:
Overview
Even during ancient times, these
questions had been consistently
raised and evaluated. Brilliant
psychologists, philosophers,
theologians, and even natural
scientists handwritten and made in-
depth analyses on the topic of
human nature using wide range of
theories and observations.
When we talk about the human
person, it is obviously
everything that pertains to man
- physical, spiritual, emotional
and intellectual attributes.
There are several definitions of
human person based on
different perspectives: Aristotle
and Boethius described man
as a rational being. As rational
being, a person is able to
know, reason out and apply
what he knows.
Theologians describe a human
person as a substance of
physical and spiritual.
Spiritual in nature because man
has a soul and is created by a
Superior Being with a divine
purpose.
Physical in nature, because a
person is created with body and
faculty that correspond to his
relationship with society.
Characteristics of a Person
Eddie Babor discussed in his book
“The Human Person, Not Real But
Existing” that the human person
have several characteristics,
among which are the following:

1. Rational
- every person is a rational being.
This is what distinguishes a
person from all other creatures in
the world.
2.
Free
- all human beings are
born free. A person has
the freedom to do or not
to do a specific action.
3. Unique
- every person is
unique. Every person
has his own identity
such that no two
persons are the
same.
4. Social being
- every person is
intrinsically a social
being. He cannot
detach his “being”
from others and all
other creatures in the
universe.
5. Sexual
- all created living
things are sexual in
nature but the
uniqueness of
expression of a
person’s sexuality
makes it all different.
Essence of a Person

• By understanding the character and the definition of


a person, the next question would be how are we
going to maximize these characteristics to be able to
create a positive result? The totality of the person is
best explored in the field of humanistic psychology.
This study theorized that a person’s behavior and
relationship with others is shaped by his inner
feelings and self-image.
Maslow Hierarchy of Needs

One of the foundations of humanistic psychology is


Abraham Maslow and his theory on the hierarchy of
needs as illustrated below:
Maslow Hierarchy of Needs

The hierarchy of needs has five levels, namely:


1. Physiological Level
these are biological needs such as food, water and
clothing. They are the strongest needs because when
a person is deprived of these, the person will ultimately
find ways to fulfill its satisfaction.
2. Safety
when physiological needs are met, the person
transcends in finding security and protection from
physical and emotional harm.
Maslow Hierarchy of Needs

3. Social and Belongingness


- when the needs for physiological and safety had
been satisfied, the desire for affection, belonging,
friendship can become active. Maslow states that
people seek to overcome feeling of loneliness and
alienation.
.
Maslow Hierarchy of Needs

4. Esteem
- there are two esteem needs: The self-esteem that
include achievement, mastery, confidence and the
esteem the person gets from others. These include
recognition, respect, attention etc. When these needs
are satisfied, the person feels self-confident and
valuable as a person in the world. However, when
these needs are not met, the person may feel inferior,
weak, helpless and worthless.
Maslow Hierarchy of Needs

5. Self Actualization
- it is the highest form of motivation. Maslow describes
this need as reaching the person’s peak potential

As discussed , Maslow’s theory pointed out that a


person must satisfy first the other lower needs before
he can actually realize his self worth and potential.
The Filipino Value System

• What are values?


• The word “value” has its root in the Latin
word “valere” which means to be strong and
vigorous. This proceeds from the premise
that a human person has to have strength or
valor in every endeavor. It is the basis on
which his strength in facing the challenges
of life should be directed
Sheffield Brightman defines value as
“whatever is liked, prized, esteemed, desired
approved, or enjoyed by anyone at any time.
It is the actual experience of enjoying a
desired object or activity. Hence, value is an
existing realization of desire.”
What are Filipino Values?
Filipino values would be the
standards or principles set
forth by the Filipino society
as basis for what is right or
wrong, the principles on
which every member of the
Filipino society should
persevere to attain in order to
reach the ultimate realization
of his life, regarding his
person and in relation to his
family and society in general.
Significance of Studying Filipino
Values
A study on the Filipino values would provide us a
deeper understanding of the Filipino culture.
It is imperative that a full understanding and
appreciation of the positive side of our very own
principles be made and used for our personal and
national success.
Help us understand our Filipino values in order to
enable us to put the positive side of Filipino values
in use and to disregard the negative ones.

1. Define leadership
2. Identify recognizable styles of a leader based on
circumstances.
3.Recognize good qualities of leders
A Leader is:
• Someone who acts as a guide;
• A directing head;
• Someone who leads a body of
troops;
Leadership is:

— The position of a leader;

— The quality displayed by a


leader

— The act of leading;


Leadership Styles
Leadership style is the manner and approach of
providing direction, implementing plans, and
motivating people. Kurt Lewin (1939) led a group of
researchers to identify different styles of leadership.
This early study has been very influential and
established three major leadership styles.
The three major styles of
leadership are (U.S. Army Handbook, 1973):
— Authoritarian or autocratic

— Participative or democratic

— Delegative or Free Reign


—Authoritarian (autocratic)
I want both of you to. . .

— This style is used when leaders tell their employees


what they want done and how they want it
accomplished, without getting the advice of their
followers. Some of the appropriate conditions to use it
is when you have all the information to solve the
problem, you are short on time, and your employees
are well motivated.
Participative (democratic)

Let's work together to


solve this. .
— This style involves the leader including one or more
employees in the decision making process
(determining what to do and how to do it). However,
the leader maintains the final decision making
authority. Using this style is not a sign of weakness,
rather it is a sign of strength that your employees will
respect.
Delegative (free reign)

— In this style, the leader


allows the employees to
make the decisions.
However, the leader is still
responsible for the decisions
that are made. This is used
when employees are able to
analyze the situation and
determine what needs to be
done and how to do it. You
cannot do everything! You You two take care
must set priorities and of the problem
delegate certain tasks. while I go. . .
Forces
— Forces that influence the style to be used included:

— How much time is available.


— Are relationships based on respect and trust or on
disrespect?
— Who has the information — you, your employees, or
both?
— How well your employees are trained and how well you
know the task.
— Internal conflicts.
— Stress levels.
— Type of task. Is it structured, unstructured, complicated,
or simple?
— Laws or established procedures such as OSHA or
training plans.
QUALITIES OF A LEADER

revealed in his habits of thoughts and
expressions, his attitudes and interests,
his action and his personal philosophy
in life.

choice brings negative consequences.”
What people must know about
character?

INVOLVEMENT IN DECISIONS
1.The Plop
– Here the group makes a decision by not
making a decision
“Not to decide – is to decide” Someone
makes a suggestion .
2. The One-Person Decision
– This is quickly made, but later when the
decider depends on free or voluntary support
from others to implement it, he may find
himself carrying it out alone.
3.The Handclasp
One person makes a suggestion. Another
says, “What a marvelous idea!” and without
further discussion, the matter is decided
4.The Cliche
This decision is made by a small group who
plan beforehand to get their way.
5. Minority
• These decisions are as consciously
organized as those of the cliche, but a few
powerful personalities dominate the group,
often unconsciously and then later they
wonder why the other are apathetic.
6.Majority Vote –
In big groups this is often the most effective
way to make a decision. However, one may
lose the interest or the loyalty of the minority
who voted against a decision especially if they
feel their point of view was not heard.
7. Silent Consensus
– Some groups aim at unanimous decisions
Unanimous agreement is sometimes
assumed, when some members have not felt
free to disagree and have kept silent.

This is an agreement, often involving
compromise or the combination of various
possibilities, after all opinions have been
heard..
