Social Problems in the My Negative Attitude/Tendency
Philippines that Contributes to the
Perpetuation of the Social
Problem (or if you can hardly
identify a negative tendency,
mention a positive attitude or
tendency that Contributes to
the Eradication of the Social
Problem)
1. Body-shaming Negative - I often openly share
my bodily insecurities with
others, making them more
insecure. Also, I tell jokes about
someone’s insecurities without
thinking about the
consequences. Instead of
spreading confidence, I
unknowingly promoted body
shaming.
2. Lack of education Positive – Whenever I have
time, I give grammar lessons to
our housekeeper, Ate Nona,
who only finished high school
level, to make her more
educated about the English
language.
3. Poverty Positive – Every chance that I
have, I always give out alms and
small in-kinds to homeless
people on the streets. Also, one
of my charity routines is to give
out my old but rarely used
clothes to my neighbors
quarterly.
Based on your answers in the
second column, what do you
intend to do to improve your
way of “vanishing the darkness
of sin and the night of unbelief”
Feeling insecure about oneself
does not vanish overnight. I will
try to accept what I have and be
thankful for it. Spreading
confidence starts with one’s
self. I will work on building up
my esteem and help others
build theirs too.
Teaching is one of my passions.
In fact, I do catechism every
Flores de Mayo. When I become
more capable, I plan to teach as
my side job in the future.
When I become financially
capable, I plan to donate a large
amount of help to charities and
organizations to combat
poverty in my town. But for
now, all I can do is make small
sacrifices to make others’ lives
better.
