Which of these are necessities for you?
Answer:
The necessities for me are food, shelter, water, warmth, medicines, mobile phone,
internet access, savings, and a damp free home. I need food because enable to survive and to
avoid hunger, shelter enable to have a home to live and to spend a day or night to it. I need
water to eliminate thirsty and other reasons for living, I need warmth to avoid sickness, if the
cold days might come. I need medicines to cure my possible sickness, this helps to advance my
recovery for possible sickness,
I need mobile phones and internet access, enable to participate
in my classes in this new normal. And lastly I need savings and a damp-free home, savings
because when bad things happen to us if we need to spend money, we have a backup money to
spend, damp-free home, to enjoy our house and relax because of its cleanliness.
2.
Which do you think are the most significant in the list?
Answer:
The most significant in the list that I need is food, shelter and water. Because without it
I can'live. Water and food is the primary needs of humans, we can't live without those two. And
lastly shelter, for us to stay and to have a home to live, for protection or safety. For me this
three is my most prior needs, because it's the most basic needs of a human enable to live, that's
why I chose these three.

If you lived in a different place in the world, how do you think your perceptions of need may
differ?
Answer:
If I lived in the different place in the world I think my perceptions of my need may differ,
on what place I actually live and on what kind of environment. Because if the place that I live in
any part of this world that all my essentials needs are fulfilled. Then I can't never ask for
anything. If my most significant needs are fulfilled, my perceptions of need would be differ,
because in that place I got all my primary needs. I can live and spend my life being contented on
what I have in that place.

Think about your life and all of the things that you take for granted, such as the place you live,
the food you eat, access to water/heat, your basic necessities, and the other things that you do
without thinking (travelling, eating out, socializing, etc.). Now, imagine experiencing social
inequality, and living in poverty. How would this affect the lifestyle that you currently have?
Answer:
If I still live in my past self, I think I wouldn't survived. Yes, when I was little, we live in
poverty, that most of our dish that my parents serve us to eat is dried fish or in filipino they
called it "tuyo", we didn't even have toys to play with, because were poor. We only buy new
clothes once a year, we lived in the province, I experience lack of electricity, money and more
advance technology that I missed during my childhood days. My parents enrolled me to a public
school until my highschool year, because were poor. Now that Im grown up our life now is okay
and fine, I'm now so spoiled that whatever I ask for my parents they will bought it, new clothes,
foods, technologies, shoes and etc. If I go back to my past self it will affect a lot in my lifestyle
now, it will affect how I eat, how I dress, how I do my obligations and etc. because it's so hard to
live in poverty and experience social inequality.
