Introduction
Society is a concept used to describe the structured relations and institutions among
a large community of people which cannot be reduced to a simple collection or aggregation
of individuals. Our society aims to spread the love of our country, the Philippines, and non-
Filipino’s alike. Filipinos are known for being warm and welcoming, and we as a society,
would like to emulate that feeling through our social events, activities charity work and food.
We are bound of our traits, values and characteristics that make us, Filipinos unique in our
own way.
This LMC discusses about knowing yourself more as a Filipino and what values and
characteristics we have. Also, it will teach you how personal development plans can help
you in the future.

Lesson 23: Nature of Self
Self-Definition
In psychology, the notion of the self refers to a person’s experience as a single,

unitary, autonomous being that is separate from others, experienced with continuity through
time and place. The experience of the self includes consciousness of one’s physicality as
well as one’s inner character and emotional life.
People experience their selves in two senses. The first is as an active agent who acts
on the world as well as being influenced by that world. This type of self is usually referred to
as the I, and focuses on how people experience themselves as doers. The second is as an
object of reflection and evaluation. In this type of self, people turn their attention to their
physical and psychological attributes to contemplate the constellation of skills, traits,
attitudes, opinions, and feelings that they may have. This type of self is referred to as the
me, and focuses on how people observe themselves from the outside looking in, much like
people monitor and contemplate the competence and character of other people.
History and Development of the Self

Everyone has an experience of self. That self, however, can be quite different from
the one experienced by another person. For example, historians suggest that people in
medieval times experienced themselves quite differently from the way people do today.
LMC 6 in NSTP 1| 2
NSTP 1 – [1st Sem/2021-2022]

Literature from that time suggests that people did not possess the rich interior lives that
people experience today but, rather, equated a person’s self with his or her public actions.
Not until the 16th century, according to the literature of the time, did people conceive of an
inner self whose thoughts and feelings might differ from the way he or she acted. Over time,
that inner self would become to be considered as the individual’s real self, which reflected
who the person really is. Today, people feel their selves are more accurately revealed by
their interior thoughts and feelings rather than by the actions they take (although people
often reverse this stance in their opinions of others, thinking others are revealed more by
their actions than by their feelings and beliefs they express about those actions).
People also differ in their experience of self as they age and develop. Indeed,
evidence indicates that people are not born with a sense of self, but that the notion that one
is a separate and autonomous being is one that the child must develop. For example,
suppose you placed a large orange mark on the forehead of a toddler, and then put the
toddler in front of a mirror, a procedure known as a mark test. Children don’t begin to show
any recognition that it is their self that they are seeing in the mirror, reaching for their own
foreheads to touch the mark, until they are between 18 and 24 months old.
The senses of self that children develop may also differ from the mature one they will
attain when they are older. In 1967, Morris Rosenberg asked 10-year-olds to describe
themselves in 10 sentences. The children tended to describe themselves in physical terms.
Not until a few years later did children, at the edge of adolescence, began to describe
themselves in terms of their personality and character. However, some psychologists believe
that a psychological rather than a physical sense of self develops much earlier than 10 years
old. For example, ask young children if someone would be a different person if that person’s
body was replaced by someone else’s, and children generally say no. However, if that
person’s personality were replaced by another individual’s personality, children argue that
that person’s self has now been changed.
People in different cultures may also differ in the elements that make up their sense
of self. North Americans and Western Europeans tend to view themselves as independent
beings. Ask them to describe themselves, and they tend to dwell on their individual skills and
personality traits (e.g., as an intelligent, moral, and hardworking individual). Individuals from
the Far East (e.g., Japan), however, tend to ascribe to a more interdependent view of self,
defining who they are in terms of their social relations and place in the world. Ask them to
describe themselves, and they tend to focus more than do Americans on social roles that
they fill in their everyday life (e.g., as mother, or daughter, or as a manager in a local firm).
LMC 6 in NSTP 1| 3
NSTP 1 – [1st Sem/2021-2022]

Some mental illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s or bipolar affective disorder, alter or
disrupt people’s experience of the self. For example, people suffering from autism appear to
possess rather concrete, physical experiences of self. They do not experience the self at a
more abstract level. If they answer a questionnaire about their personality traits, they later do
not remember the traits that they said they possessed. This is in sharp contrast to people not
suffering from autism, who show a strong memory bias toward recalling the traits they said
were self-descriptive. This difference can be explained if one assumes that non-sufferers
have a self-schema about themselves, that is, a cognitive representation of their inner
personality that aids their later memory. Those with autism, it appears, do not have a self-
schema that is as richly developed.
In addition, schizophrenia can damage a person’s experience of self. The disordered

thought associated with schizophrenia can lead people to lose the experience of themselves
as an individual with an unbroken history from the past to the present. Schizophrenia can
also lead a person to confuse where his or her self ends and the outside world begins. This
can be an important aspect of hallucinations and delusions. People suffering from
schizophrenia may lose track of how much they themselves author their hallucinations,
instead thinking that the hallucinations come from the outside world.
Implications of the Self
The self that people possess has profound implications for their thoughts, emotional
reactions, and behavior. For example, the thoughts people have often are crafted to maintain
the sense of self that they possess. This is especially true for thoughts about other people.
The impressions that people tend to have about themselves (their “me’s”), at least in North
America and Western Europe, tend to be rather positive ones with many strengths and
proficiencies. People tend to see other people who share some similarity as also imbued
with these same strengths and weaknesses, whereas people who are different are more
likely to be seen as having shortcomings and weaknesses. In this way, people can bolster
their self-impressions as lovable and capable people.
A sense of self also influences the emotions people feel. People do not feel merely
bad or good, but experience an entire panoply of emotions. Some emotions arise because
people view that they authored the actions that produced them. When students study hard
and do well on tests, they feel happy and proud. If they wrong a friend, they do not feel
unhappy; they feel guilty. If they are worried about how their action looks to others, they feel
shame, or perhaps embarrassment. Many emotions involve self-consciousness, and the

experience of all these emotions requires a sense of self.
LMC 6 in NSTP 1| 4
NSTP 1 – [1st Sem/2021-2022]

Finally, people’s views of themselves can significantly affect their behavior. People
often act in ways to maintain the view of self they possess. For example, if you ask people
whether they would give to charity, they will likely say yes. If someone else approaches them
a few days later and asks them to donate, people are then more likely to donate (relative to a
group not asked), even though they do not connect the second request to the original
question. In a similar way, if you ask a person whether people should save water during a
drought, he or she typically responds that they should and do. If you then point out what a
long shower the person just had (such as is done in studies of hypocrisy), the person is
much more likely to take shorter showers in the future. In short, the actions people take are
constrained by the views they have of themselves, especially if those views are made salient
to them.
QUESTION TO PONDER:
Instruction/s: Based on the lesson you have learned,
briefly discuss your viewpoint regarding the question
presented below.
“How will you compare your current self to the younger

version of yourself? What are the significant changes that
have happened? Have you improved so far?”
Lesson 24: Self-Awareness Filipino Values
We tend to see our identity through our position in society, our friends and family, the
needs and desires of our body, and the emotional and intellectual expressions of our mind.
Being self-aware is having a good knowledge and understanding of yourself including being
aware of your own feelings and character. Practicing self-awareness is about learning to
better understand why you feel what you feel and why you behave in a particular way.
Having this awareness gives you the opportunity and freedom to change things about
yourself, enabling you to create a life that you want. It’s almost impossible to change and
become self-accepting if you are unsure as to who you are. Having clarity about who you are
and what you want can be empowering, giving you the confidence to make changes.
Self-awareness is often a first step to goal setting. This includes admitting when you
don't have the answer and owning up to mistakes.

The Johari Window
The Johari Window can be looked at from many angles and provides four basic
forms of the Self (the Known, Hidden, Blind, and Unknown Self).
You may find the Johari Window quite useful as a tool to help you discover who you are.
 Things we know about ourselves and others know about us.

Known  The part that you are able to discuss freely with others.
Self  Most of the time you agree with this view you have and others have of you.
 Things we know about ourselves that others do not know.
Hidden  In this part you hide things that are very private about yourself, this maybe
Self to protect yourself, because you feel ashamed or vulnerable, or perhaps
because of modesty.
 Things others know about us that we do not know.
 E.g. You might see yourself as an open-minded person when, in reality,
Blind
people around you don’t agree. This area also works the other way. You
Self
might see yourself as a “dumb” person while others might consider you
incredibly bright.
 Things neither we nor others know about us.
Unknown  This might refer to untapped potential talents and skills that have yet to be
Self explored by you, your friends, colleagues or managers.
Perhaps you would find a well of acceptance for yourself and others that you never
knew existed.
Perhaps you would notice the less you judge yourself, the less you'll judge others.
And maybe, the experience of acceptance would give you the solid foundation to move
forward in creating yourself and your life in a way that is more satisfying.
QUESTION TO PONDER:
Instruction/s: Based on the lesson you have learned, briefly
discuss your viewpoint regarding the question presented
below.
“What benefit will you get if you are aware of your own values?”

Lesson 25: Personal Development Plans
Are you fully in control of your career? Do you have a clear and inspiring vision of what
you want to achieve in the future? And, are you actively taking steps to pursue the career of
your dreams?
If your answer is “no,” then you risk being disappointed. If you put your career into the
hands of others – your organization, your boss, your partner, or even your parents – you risk
not going where you want to go, and not doing what you want to do. After all, if you are not
working to realize your own dreams, you’re most likely working to achieve someone else’s.
All too often, this abdication of responsibility for your career happens without you even
realizing it.
You have to be proactive, take charge and change the way you think about your career.
When you take control, you will realize that the only way you’ll achieve what you want,
personally or professionally, is to think about where you want to go, put in place a plan to get
there, and then start moving.
Personal Development Planning is a structured way of doing just that.
First, you understand yourself and you set meaningful goals.

Next, you define these goals in terms of what you want to achieve and the steps you
need to take to get there.
Finally, you identify gaps in your skills and experience, and you create an action plan
to fill them, so that you can move towards your end goal.
Personal Development Planning is all about creating a long-term goal for your career,
and then thinking about how you’ll achieve it. However, before you can know what you want
to do in the long term, you need to reflect on your current situation. What are you good at?
Where do you need to improve? What opportunities are available? And, are there factors
beyond your control that could have an impact on your goals?
PERSONAL SWOT ANALYSIS
In business, SWOT Analysis uncovers the Strengths and Weakness of an

organization, and identifies the Opportunities and Threats that it faces.
Just as this is important for organizations, it’s also useful when you apply it to your
own situation. By knowing your strengths, you can focus your efforts on the things that
LMC 6 in NSTP 1| 7
NSTP 1 – [1st Sem/2021-2022]

you’re good at. And, by understanding your weaknesses, you know what to avoid, what to
improve, and where you need to get help.
Taken together, your strengths and opportunities help you identify potential long-term
career goals. Your weaknesses, and the threats you face, are the things that need to be
managed, mitigated or planned for, to ensure that your goals remain achievable.
To conduct a Personal SWOT Analysis, you ask yourself a series of questions about
your current situation, and you fill in a four-quadrant grid, like the one found on page 5. We
explain these quadrants below.
A. STRENGTHS
Here, your goal is to uncover what sets you apart from other people. What qualities do
you have that make you stand out? When thinking about your strengths, don’t limit yourself
to your professional skills. Explore all of your experiences, and the opportunities that you’ve
had to grow and develop. This includes your education, aptitudes, personality factors, and
interests. Ask yourself the following questions:
What are you really good at?

What skills do others recognize in you, and what do you get rewarded for?
What do you do better than most people you work with?
What are you most proud of?
What experiences, resources or connections do you have access to that others
don’t?
B. WEAKNESSES
Here, you think about the things that you’re not so good at, or the areas where you can
improve your performance. When you list your weaknesses, you can reduce or manage
them, so that they don’t stop you achieving your goals.
Don’t “beat yourself up” about your weaknesses: we all have them. The trick is to
recognize them and manage them appropriately. Also, don’t be too self-critical. If you’re fair
and forgiving about other people’s weaknesses, make sure you forgive your own, too.
To complete the Weaknesses section of your Personal SWOT Analysis, use the
following questions as a guide:
What skills do you struggle to master?

What do you do only because you have to, in order to satisfy job requirements?
Are there one or two aspects of your personality that hold you back?
LMC 6 in NSTP 1| 8
NSTP 1 – [1st Sem/2021-2022]

What do other people most often identify as your weakness?
Where are you vulnerable?
Where do you lack experience, resources or connections, where others have them?
C. OPPORTUNITIES
Now that you’ve reflected on your strengths and weaknesses, you need to focus on
understanding the opportunities that are open to you. Ask yourself:
In what ways can you take advantage of your strengths?

What opportunities are open to people who do these things well?
What would you love to do that you’re good at?
How can you minimize your weaknesses? If these no longer held you back, what
could you do?
Where do you see the most potential growth for yourself: within your current
company, in a different organization, in another industry, or in a separate career
entirely?
What trends are having an impact on your current career, or on the one that you’re
thinking about pursuing?
D. THREATS
Finally, reflect on the things that could derail your success. Although threats often can’t
be directly controlled, they can be planned for. That’s why it’s so important to identify as
many of them as possible. The more you know about them, the less likely you are to be
“blindsided” by something unexpected.
You might feel that thinking about threats will cause you undue worry and stress.
However, you will likely experience more anxiety if you don’t consider them, especially when
they start becoming more significant.
Remember, a threat loses much of its impact when it’s managed and prepared for. Ask
yourself the following questions to uncover potential threats:
Are there any general threats that you need to think about?
If you don’t address your weaknesses, what problems could they cause?
What setbacks might you face?
What obstacles have other people overcome when they’re trying to get to where you
want to go?

Personal development planning (PDP) can be interpreted as a structure and process
carried out by students to reflect and plan their personal, educational and career
development. Through PDP, students carry out three activities, which are reflecting,
planning, and implementing. The reflection activity here is contemplating the learning
process, performance and achievements so far. The intended planning activities are making
plans to develop personal, academic and career. The development plan is then implemented
and recorded properly.
The main objective of PDP is to increase the students’ capacity to reflect on learning
activities so far, plan the learning process and its development, and independently be
responsible for it.
The PDP process requires commitment from oneself to get used to reflecting, making
plans and executing plans made. All processes in PDP are carried out continuously, thus
forming a cycle of PDP process. If described, the PDP process will take the form of a cycle
like the following picture:
Performance Goals
Plan
Review Implement
Developmental Goals
1. Review phase
It means conducting a review of what happened and making it possible to do it. In

this phase, students identify their current capacity or abilities. Reviewing is not free from
reflection activities. Reflection is the key to the development and learning process. The
purpose of the review is not only to see the success that has been achieved but also by
reviewing the present and comparing what is desired in the future, career plans and
personal goals.
LMC 6 in NSTP 1| 10
NSTP 1 – [1st Sem/2021-2022]

In the reviewing process, there are two important things, which are the activities that
has already been done and the purpose of life. The intended activities include all skills
and achievement development activities related to personal, academic, and career.
These activities are then compared to life goals that embrace the most important values
of students and form the basis of making decisions. Students ask and answer questions
about themselves and what they want for the future.
There are three questions students must answer when conducting a review:
a. Where have I been? Retrospective reflection. Students review their past activities
by taking notes and then comparing it with their life goals. Students evaluate and
introspect whether activities carried out in the past help realize or even make it difficult to
achieve goals.
b. Where am I now? Reflection on the current situation. Students make a list of

current activities which are carried out every day for a period of two weeks to one month
to find out how far they achieve their goals. By conducting a review of current activities,
students can find out their position towards the goals set and or find the actual
destination so they can see the planned route that they made. Can the carried-out
activities improve the skills needed to realize the goals and produce achievements? Just
like setting goals, every student needs to know where he is in life and what he wants to
be like.
c. Where do I want to get to? Review of opportunities and identification of personal

goals or objectives. Students make a comparison between the list of activities in the past
with the present. By comparing these activities students can assess whether there is
consistency in developing skills and achievements, or reflecting confusion and lack of
purpose.
2. Plan Phase
Plan Phase is a very important stage in PDP, which is how to achieve goals and to
meet learning needs. In the planning phase, information is obtained from the results of
the review phase assessment. Planning provides two contributions to student life, which
shows how to change from current conditions to desired conditions and identify the
resources needed. Planning can be described as "thinking before doing". This indicates
that planning is the initial activity that must be done to get the goal, which is thinking
about what is desired and how the best that can be done to achieve these goals.

NSTP 1 – [1st Sem/2021-2022]

The most important thing about a plan is the process. By processing, it will be known
how that process is very important in achieving goals. To ensure that the process of
achieving goals can run optimally, commitment and creative thinking are required. "The
keyword in any planning process is 'flexibility'". Flexible does not mean not committed.
Commitment is directly related to the goal, while flexible is related to the way how to
achieve that goal. If the plan that has been made does not go as expected, what must be
done is to change the plan, not change the goal. "Never change the goal because the
plan did not work - change the plan". Part of the planning process involves obstacles that
can hinder the achievement of goals. To overcome these obstacles, it requires a mature
plan based on the solution. Therefore, creative thinking is needed to generate ideas in
overcoming these obstacles.
In essence, planning is to answer two questions, which are:
a. How do I get there? Possibilities and decisions on the best way of achieving
goals/objectives. Through this question, students make the best possibilities and
decisions to achieve success.
b. How will I know I’ve got there? Strategy for setting targets and progress. The thing
to do is to design targets and arrange evaluation tools so that progress against the
targets can be measured.
The first step in the planning stage is to write down goals. The objectives referred to
in the planning stage are slightly different from the objectives at the reviewing stage. At
the reviewing stage, the intended purpose is a large goal or general goal as a basis for
reflecting on past and present activities. The objectives at the planning stage are more
detailed because the objectives set are equipped with strategies so that those goals are
achieved.
3. Implement phase
After designing a strategy, the thing that must be done so that the objectives set are
achieved is doing the action and implementing the plan that has been made. In this
phase, students carry out their self-development activities. Worksheets that have been
designed at the planning stage are used as a road or route at the implementation stage.
Students carry out activities as planned in the planning stage. The goal is successfully
achieved if the planned activities in the planning stage are successfully carried out in
accordance with the plan. However, a key aspect of the action is not only doing the
activity but also recording and writing down the activity. Daily logs or diaries need to be
developed by students to record the activities that have been done.

BENEFITS OF A PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
PDP helps increase students' self-awareness of their strengths and weaknesses and
awareness to change for the better. Besides, PDP also helps students to understand the
added value through learning inside and outside the objectives of the courses they are
learning.
PDP is beneficial for students to:
1. make plans by integrating and taking responsibility in personal, career and

academic development, identifying learning opportunities in academic programs
and extracurricular activities;
2. recognize the values and evidence of learning and its development, both inside
and outside the curriculum;
3. be more aware of how to learn and of the different learning strategies to achieve
goals;
4. monitor and review learning progress effectively by using learning notes and
evidence;
5. evaluate and recognize your strengths and weaknesses, and identify ways to
overcome your perceived weaknesses and increase strengths;
6. develop identity in relation to academic, professional and personal development;
7. develop vocabulary in developing communication and achievement;
8. prepare yourself in finding, continuing or changing jobs;
9. express the skills and knowledge that have been obtained to others; and
10. be better prepared for the demands of ongoing development and career
development in professional and academic careers
The practice of PDP is not only beneficial for students but also beneficial for college
counselors in terms of:
1. helping students to be more independent;

2. providing a framework for discussion on individual student progress;
3. providing the right mechanism to connect the curriculum with the world outside of
tertiary institutions by improving the quality of interaction between tutors and
students;
4. make opportunities outside the campus to study more effectively;
5. creating a mechanism through career-related skills and abilities; and
6. enhance student understanding of individual development and the ability to

provide meaningful work references.

Lesson 27: Nationalism and Patriotism Program
NATIONALISM
Nationalism is a devotion of love for one’s country. It means to give more importance
to unity by way of cultural background, including language and heritage. It implies to a
person that his country is most superior among other countries and he will defend it no
matter what. The following are 10 modern and simple ways to express Filipino nationalism:
1. Respect the Philippine flag and value the Filipino identity. Being Filipinos, we
should respect our Philippine flag and its purpose. The history and value of this flag are
connected to the freedom we have today. Encourage our fellowmen to participate and
respect our flag and its anthem and even our different symbols. They provide us our identity
as Filipinos or citizens of the beautiful Republic of the Philippines. (Wikipedia.com)
2. Be a productive citizen. Be industrious and make ourselves productive, not only for
ourselves but for our country as well. Serve the people, serve our nation. (google.com)
LMC 6 in NSTP 1| 15
NSTP 1 – [1st Sem/2021-2022]

3. Be aware of the issues in our country. We must be aware and updated on the
significant issues happening in the country. Extend help to the needy fellowmen, especially
the victims of disasters like typhoons, flooding, and the like.
4. Stand proud for every Filipinos achievement. Filipinos is globally competitive in

many aspects. They are proud to be a Filipino and for the honors they bring to our country.
They unite every Filipino for their achievements. We can be proud of Filipinos like Manny
Pacquiao, the Azkals Football Team, the Gilas Pilipinas Basketball Team, and many more.5.
Patronize and support our own products. The Philippines has rich resources to create quality
goods and products. The manpower services we provide are also globally competitive. Our
economy will improve more if we ourselves patronize our own products which characterize
our creativity, resourcefulness, and industry.
6. Preserve the Filipino culture. Philippines are rich in various colorful cultural
elements. They are our identity. Be proud and preserve the culture we have for they are our
treasure. We have to keep them for the future generation.
7. Respect everyone and value our traditions. Filipinos are very courteous and
respectful. Even in modern times, many Filipinos show and value their noble norms and
traditions. So, we Filipinos must continue to exercise these good traditions like respecting
our elders and others, by using “po at opo”, being hospitable, and being religious.
8. Speak our own language. Using our own language is manifesting and preserving
our national identity. It is our unique means of communicating and interacting with our
fellowmen. Our language is an important tool to achieve further unity and national
development.
9. Remember and commemorate our heroes’ sacrifices for our country. There were
many Filipinos who died for our democracy, freedom, and independence. Some fought using
their pens and tongues, while some used the power of their arms and weapons. Each had
their own way of showing their love and respect to our country. In today’s generation, let us
value and treasured our heroes sacrifices and devotion for our country. (google.com)
10. Love our family, our neighbors, and our compatriots. Love and help one another.
That way, we are showing the world that we are proud to be Filipinos. Stand united! Do
something to help each other and for the greater good for mother country. Love everyone
and love our country as we love ourselves. (google.com)
There are many ways to show our love for our country. In our generation, there are
things that test our nationalism. What is important though is that we stand united as Filipino

NSTP 1 – [1st Sem/2021-2022]

people and we love Philippines as our mother country. Let us manifest the essence of
nationalism in every aspect of our life.
PATRIOTISM
Patriotism is a devotion of love for one’s country for no other reason than being a
citizen of that country. It is a common virtue that pertains to the love for a nation, with more
emphasis on own values and beliefs. One who is patriotic will be ready to make any sacrifice
for his own country. He will never live selfishly for himself alone.-A SOLDIER.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM
Nationalism – This implies a heartfelt dedication for love, care and preservation of the
Philippines and everything that is identified with it: The Philippine territory, the inhabitants,
the Philippine sovereignty, all things that represent and symbolize the country; the
aspirations, hopes, dreams and needs of the Filipino people. Patriotism is taken from the
word “pater” who literally means “father”. It is the willingness and determination to lay down
one’s life for the fatherland. It is the result of being a nationalistic. One cannot be patriotic
without being nationalistic.
As the famous poet Rabindranath Tagore said that Patriotism is more important than
Nationalism. A patriot loves his own country but he does not hate the people of other
countries. A nationalist might consider his own nation important and hate the people of other
nations. A patriot is international in his outlook. He is broad-minded and tolerant. He is a
citizen of the world. A nationalist may be narrow-minded. He may think in terms of his own
country and hate all those who are not his countrymen.
