Given the information learned in Lesson 1, what is the relevance of philosophy in your respective

strand? How does it help you become a better student in your strand and a person in life?  

Philosophy is relevant to my strand which is STEM because through the existence of this study
individuals are able to ask questions and inquire about things from small to big ones in order to gain
general knowledge and understanding of reality. Thus, it helps to develop and progress the
development of the different disciplines, especially Science. It’s clearly seen in our current times where
innovations and inventions are created with the supervision of the study of philosophy as it gives
conceptual inspiration for forming new concepts. Moreover, it leads you to think critically and rationally
which is a great impact on your academic pursuit that you can apply to your different subjects in your
specific strand. Philosophy cultivates and nurtures us to prepare who we become in the future
specifically for the profession that we desire. Furthermore, it helps you to become a better person in life
because we acquired the capacity to analyze, distinguish and go beyond perception that leads us to
know between wrong and right due to the reasoning that gives us a deeper awareness to evaluate
things. With philosophy, we can think about living responsibly and embracing a meaningful and holistic
way of life.

As a learner in Philosophy, you must realize that it is only through a holistic and deliberate
thinking that you can effectively break free from narrow and close-mindedness. Formulate a
Philosophical Video Reflection about a specific event/issue/concern of your life which portrays
a holistic approach of judging and dealing with it.

Give justifications on how you dealt with it holistically. Using your mobile phone, record a 2-
minute video presenting your reflection. Upload your video in the Mini Task 1 Assignments
Tab.

This is due on April 6.
