COURSE GUIDE
A. Introduction
Dear learner,
Welcome to this General Education Course, Understanding The Self (GSELF). Have
you ever asked yourself the question, “Who am I?”. Do you understand why you do what
you do, and why you are how you are? Being in college is a new experience, where
life becomes more serious as you start preparing for your future career, as well as your
adult life. It is then a must that you begin to understand yourself and eventually get to
set your goals while ensuring a healthy well-being and self-esteem.
This course is given a 3-unit credit, and is intended to facilitate an exploration of the
issues and concerns regarding your sense of self to arrive at a better understanding of
yourself. Throughout the term, we shall guide you in integrating personal and
academic experiences that will allow you to appreciate yourselves and others. The course
shall deal with the nature of identity, as well as factors that affect the development
and maintenance of personal identity. It also intends to enable the self to attain a better
quality of life.
There are three modules in this course, each with a set of topics that will facilitate
your understanding of the self. As you go through the different modules, self-reflection as
well as reflection on your life experiences will be of big help for you to understand
and relate with the topics. You may find that some topics are very relevant to your life as
a learner, son/daughter, or friend. Feel free to express your thoughts and emotions
through the journal entries that you will be assigned to do. Know that your instructor is
always willing to assist and guide you throughout your journey in this course. We hope
you enjoy the topics in this course, gain insight and knowledge about yourself. As you
go along each module and unit, there will be some “Reflection” activities and
“Exercises”. These will not be scored, but will help you understand the topic, and more
importantly yourself better.

SOCRATES
“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
To live an examined life also maintains that one should recognize and
acknowledge that there are things one does not know; that there are things
about the self and about life that still needs to be discovered; that life is a
never- ending search for answers. To this, Socrates stated: “To know, is to know
that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.”

PLATO
“Human behavior flows from three main
sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.”
Plato proposed three elements of the psyche: the appetitive, the spirited,
and the mind. These three elements either work together or go against each
other, resulting in a person’s behavior.
The appetitive consists of one’s pleasures, desires, physical satisfactions,
and comforts. It basically holds all those relevant to sustaining a comfortable
environment. An example of this is wanting to sleep in despite having classes, or
enjoying ice cream on a hot, sunny day.
The spirited is the motivated element, which fights back to ensure that
the appetitive is controlled. For instance, telling oneself that education should be
prioritized, it is not good to be lazy, and one should wake up and get ready for
school.
The mind is the most superior element of the psyche, which controls how
the self is expressed. To do this, it controls the appetitive and spirited elements,
thus striking a balance between the two and resulting in more realistic behavior.
To illustrate, perhaps acknowledging that one is still tired and sleepy, but also
realizing the fact that one needs to attend classes, thus, he/she goes to class
and then makes it a point to take a nap afterwards.

ST. AUGUSTINE

own imperfections.”
To understand the self then implies the use of both reason and
experience, as such, there is a dialectic synthesis.

why he is not good at such, and in doing so, enables his “self” to exist.

“If man makes himself a worm, he must not complain when he

Rationality enables sensible ideas about ourselves and our world. Thus, the
saying above explains that in a way, how we see ourselves is also how
others would see us.
CONTEMPORARY PHILOSOPHIES
SIGMUND FREUD
Sigmund Freud contended that the self is the “I”
that constitutes both mental and physical actions, with
the “I” being a product of multiple interacting processes.

self being expressed.

Topographical Model
There are things about the self that one knows and is aware of, and at the
same time, there are those that one does not know and is unaware of. For
instance, you know that you are enrolled in this subject, but you do not know if
you will pass the subject.
This model explains how the “I“ is both conscious and unconscious.
Freud’s Iceberg Theory illustrates this.
What are those things that you are aware of? What are those things that
you have tried to forget? How do these contribute to who you are and how

To have a feel of what will be covered in this unit, take some time to reflect
on the following:
What social influences have contributed to the formation of
yourself /identity?
- Social institutions such as media, education, the government,
family, and religion all have a significant impact on all person's
identities. They help us to shape how we view ourselves.
Who are the significant others that helped shape your values
and perspectives?
- I would my family, friends and some other people have shaped my values
and perspectives, looking at how I was raised by my parents, the
environment that I grew up with identities the values instilled. Looking back,
I can see how I failed on how I wanted to be and served as a lesson on
managing it.
What are the Filipino socialization contexts that are most relevant?
- For me, it's the "Pakikipagkapwa". Social interactions among Filipino
influence one's identity formation and development. We are often labeled by
others in any particular ways in terms of what we see and hear.

Another example of social fact can be exemplified in this instance: When you
fulfill your obligation as a son/daughter, student, brother/sister, or citizen, you
perform duties which are defined, externally to yourself and your actions, in
law and in custom. This means that even if you “do these things” (do your tasks
in school, do your duties as a son or daughter) because it conforms to your
sentiments and feel their reality subjectively, such reality is still objective. We
did not create these realities (duties and responsibilities of a child or citizen);
we merely inherited them through our education (formal and informal). That, or
rather, these realities, are social facts.

data “say” about your possible patterns of behavior? What can you say for

Moral Individualism – the doctrine that rationality leaves room for the
individualities of personalities of subjects to express themselves in the moral
realm in an autonomous choice between idealism and fulfilment-maximization. It
involves a morality of cooperation and a profound respect for humanity. It is not
the glorification of the self, “but of the individual in general” (Durkheim, 1898).

The foregoing, illustrates how such concepts as simple as norms, roles and
culture in the society in which one belongs determines to a great and profound
extent to which the self is embedded in the society – that the self is not just a
construct accorded with an identity all its own. To be, the self has to be defined
also in its social dimension. Think for example how such concepts profoundly
affect gender norms, family dynamics, religion and politics and our day-to-day
interactions. Even the field of psychology acknowledges that in solitude or
amongst others, an individual’s thoughts, behaviors, perceptions and emotions
are affected by his imagined or real influence coming from other people.
The next sociological theories define the self along the symbolic
interactionism paradigm.

SELF-LABELING
This occurs when we are repeatedly labeled and evaluated by others, and
we adopt other’s labels explicitly into our self-concept
On the other hand, positive reclaiming may also take place when labels
are used by society to describe people negatively. Those who are negatively
labeled may claim these labels more positively to feel better about themselves.
To illustrate: After labeling, minority group members evaluated the labels (e.g.
“queer”, “torpe”, “lost”) less negatively, and reported feeling more powerful.
The stream of thought between the knower (“I”) and the known (“Me”) is
the essence of the development of identity as influenced by the social context.

Think of your friends. Think of people you have met. Do you have the same culture
as they? How do they represent their cultures? Is it through the clothes they wear? Is it
how they speak? Do they have behaviors different from those in your culture?
You probably see that there are similarities and differences between and among
cultures. We represent our culture in different ways. In this unit, we get to understand
more about the Filipino self.
Anthropology is the study of human beings in aspects ranging from biology to the
features of society and culture. In relation to the self, the anthropological perspective
looks into how the self is influenced by culture. In this unit, we are going to discuss
three key people: Zeus Salazar, Prospero Covar, and Harry Triandis. The latter part of
the unit will present a contrast of the Western and Eastern perspectives on the self,
as well as the Individualistic and Collectivistic cultures differ in understanding and
viewing the self.

EXPLAIN
Are you ready to learn more? Let’s look into some anthropological perspectives
of the self.
ZEUS SALAZAR
According to Salazar, our reality is rooted in society and
learning. Language is needed in order for us to articulate this
reality. We get to know what is happening in our society
through language. Similarly, we learn about our culture from
our family through language. As such, language is also
considered as the primary vehicle in understanding ourselves.
PANTAYONG PANANAW
PROSPERO COVAR
Prospero Covar makes use of dynamic dualism, or a
pairing of concepts, in order to understand the Filipino
personality. Loob is paired with labas while budhi is paired with
kaluluwa.

REFLECTION: Who is a Filipino? What makes Filipinos different from other races or
nationalities? A person whose nationality and/or citizenship is Filipino is
considered a Filipino. But, what makes Filipinos unique? Is it their skin color? Or
their way of living? Or because of their personality? What makes you a
FILIPINO?
HARRY TRIANDIS
In his article “The Self and Social Behavior in Differing Cultural Context”,
Harry Triandis discussed several aspects of the self, each of which become more
prominent or are sampled in a specific type of culture.

Western Thought
Western or eastern labels imply not only geographical locations but also
ways of thinking and behaving. Central to the western traditions is their idea of
the psyche which is their model of the soul. Likewise, western thought believes
in the duality of body and the soul which means that these two are separate
entities. According to Plato, the soul inhabited the world of ideas, while the body
descended to the world of the sensible. And, Aristotle formulated his
Hylemorphic Theory wherein the human person is composed of matter or the
body and form or the soul. Matter is changeable while the form remains.
Centuries later, Rene Descartes shared this dualistic view. The body gathers
information through the senses while it is the reason that processes all
information and makes sense with experiences of the body. Furthermore, he
believed that the body and soul is fused in the pineal gland.

WILLIAM JAMES
According to William James, the self is both the “knower”
and the “known”. It is partly object and partly subject. It is
divided into the me-self and the I-self.
ME-SELF
- this is the empirical self
- the object of a thought

3 Dimensions of Me-self:
1. Material Self - pertains to the things you own
2. Social Self - significant interpersonal relations
3. Spiritual Self - one’s personality, character and defining values
I- SELF
- “pure ego” - provides the thread of continuity between our past,
present, and future selves
- this component of the self is consciousness itself
- self-awareness (the act of thinking about ourselves)
- referred to as the soul (or mind)
- involves subjective experiential features such as life history
and experience
3 Dimensions of I-self:
1. Individual Self
2. Relational Self
3. Collective Self
KAREN HORNEY
“To search for truth about the self is as valuable as to
search for truth in other areas of life”
According to Horney, the foundation of a healthy
development stems from our childhood experiences.
People need to meet certain conditions to grow. Parents
need to provide feelings of safety and security to the child in
order for them to become psychologically healthy individuals.

IDEALIZED SELF
- an imaginary picture of the self as the possessor of unlimited powers
and superlative qualities
- developed when people feel inferior and have the need to be loved
- one’s view of perfection
ACTUALIZED SELF
- the person one is in everyday life
- the person one actually is regardless of other people’s perceptions
- often despised because it fails to fulfill the requirement of the idealized image
DESPISED SELF
- negative view of the self
- based on the lack of love and acceptance by others
- consists of feelings of inferiority and shortcomings
- the feeling that one is hated; it is assumed that it is one’s true self is the one
hated
REAL SELF
- revealed only as a person begins to shed the various techniques developed to
deal with basic anxiety

CARL ROGERS
According to Carl Rogers, there are two types of
tendencies: Formative and Actualizing.
Experiences can help us grow and develop. That is why Carl Rogers gave
emphasis on the subjective experience of a person. As the individual goes
through life experiences, he/she becomes a separate individual from others. This
is the SELF or SELF-CONCEPT defined by the words I, my, myself and me.
Similar to Horney, the self is also divided into two: Real self and Ideal self.
REAL SELF (Self-concept): Refers to the aspects of one’s being and experiences
that are perceived in awareness.
IDEAL SELF: This pertains to who you want to become in the future.

Before we continue with more psychological perspectives, take a break and do
this activity:
Reflect using the idea of the Real VS Ideal Self by Carl Rogers
In a one short bond paper, identify the similarities and/or difference between your Real
self and Ideal self through a venn diagram.
For example, in terms of physical characteristics: real - short, dark, thin; ideal - tall, fair,
with curves.
Look into your real and ideal selves for the following: physical characteristics, talent/skill,
career goal, social life, and achievements.
You have the freedom to use words or pictures to depict your real vs ideal self.
PROACTIVE
- acting in advance of a future situation, rather than just reacting
- taking control and making things happen rather than just adjusting to a
situation or waiting for something to happen
AGENTIC
- self-organizing, proactive, self-reflective and self-regulating as times change -
agentic perspective states that we are NOT merely reactive organisms shaped
by environmental forces or driven by inner impulses

ALBERT BANDURA
HUMAN AGENCY: Essence of humanness; People are
self- regulating, proactive, self-organizing and self-
reflective. In addition, people have the power to influence
their own actions and produce the desired consequences.
1. Intentionality
- This pertains to the idea that people are
continually changing their plans and are aware of
the consequences of their actions.
2. Forethought
- This pertains to the idea that people are able to anticipate the
possible outcomes of their actions and select behaviors that will produce
the desired outcome.
3. Self-reactiveness
- This pertains to the ability to motivate themselves and regulate
their actions.
4. Self-reflectiveness
- This pertains to the idea that people have the ability to examine
themselves.
HIGH LEVELS: Belief that they can deal effectively with events and situations
LOW LEVELS: Belief that they are unable to exercise control over events and
situations
Sources of Self-efficacy:
4. Physiological and Emotional Arousal ü The more composed we are, the greater
one’s self-efficacy is.
Determine any facet of your skill set which is concerning you lately
(e.g., resolving a conflict, playing the guitar, quadratic equations, etc.)
Utilizing Albert Bandura’s concept on utilizing Vicarious experiences to
develop self-efficacy, look for any material on the internet that suggests a
plausible solution to your area of weakness. Screen capture the material or
part of it.
Make a 5-sentence reflection about the suggested solution.

terminologies related to them can be very confusing. Below is a complete list of
definitions to help provide a clear understanding of the terms.
Sex: refers to the biological characteristics that define humans as female or
male. While these sets of biological characteristics are not mutually exclusive,
as there are individuals who possess both, they tend to differentiate humans
as males and females. In general use in many languages, the term sex is often
used to mean “sexual activity”, but for technical purposes in the context of
sexuality and sexual health discussions, the above definition is preferred.
Gender: A complex interrelationship between an individual’s biological gender,
gender identity, and gender expression.
· Biological sex: Refers to the biological anatomy that is assigned at
birth and determines whether an individual is male (has a penis), female
(has a vagina), or intersex.
· Cisgender: an individual who’s sexual orientation, gender
orientation/expression matches their biological sex assigned at birth.

How did you fare? Now, note that it is extremely important to respect an
individual’s self-identification. A person should never assume another person’s
identification based on behavior and appearances. If you are ever unsure
about a person’s identity, we recommend asking the individual how they self-
identify (in a respectful manner) as well as by which pronouns they prefer to be
called. Always make sure to respect their choices.
Sexuality: “…a central aspect of being human throughout life encompasses sex,
gender identities and roles, sexual orientation, eroticism, pleasure, intimacy and
reproduction. Sexuality is experienced and expressed in thoughts, fantasies,
desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviors, practices, roles and relationships.
While sexuality can include all of these dimensions, not all of them are always
experienced or expressed. Sexuality is influenced by the interaction of biological,
psychological, social, economic, political, cultural, legal, historical, religious and
spiritual factors.” (WHO, 2006a)

· Do I like my body?
- Oh yeah. I love my body; I surround myself with joy. Centering yourself means
loving your body and being thankful to your body too.
INTIMACY
While sensuality includes physical closeness to others, intimacy is about our
emotional closeness. Again, this can be sexual or non-sexual.
How easy is it for you to be emotionally vulnerable to others?
Intimacy is caring about or liking someone, trusting, being able to self-disclose
and sharing your inner world. Taking risks in relationships by being emotionally
vulnerable and expressing our needs, wants, desires, and feelings, creates
intimacy.

Our gender roles are established by society, so what our gender is expected to
do in one culture will be different in another culture. Traditionally people think
of gender roles as male or female, and even more traditionally as the woman
being the caregiver and the man being the breadwinner. Thankfully, as society
evolves, so do these roles.
Our sexual orientation, as gay, straight, lesbian, bi, asexual, or queer, whether
or not their sexual behavior (who they engage in sexual activities with) reflects
that, is also a part of one’s identity.
REPRODUCTION AND SEXUAL HEALTH
Here we get to what everyone thinks about when we talk about sexuality! Yes,
the actual act of creating a human being when that strongest, fastest sperm
fertilizes an egg in the uterus.
The sexual response cycle refers to the sequence of physical and emotional
changes that occur as a person becomes sexually aroused and participates in
sexually stimulating activities, including intercourse and masturbation. Knowing
how your body responds during each phase of the cycle can enhance your
relationship and help you pinpoint the cause of any sexual problems.
What Are the Phases of the Sexual Response Cycle?
The sexual response cycle has four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and
resolution. Both men and women experience these phases, although the timing
usually is different. For example, it is unlikely that both partners will reach orgasm
at the same time. In addition, the intensity of the response and the time spent in
each phase varies from person to person. Understanding these differences may
help partners better understand one another's bodies and responses, and
enhance the sexual experience.
Phase 1: Excitement
General characteristics of the excitement phase, which can last from a few
minutes to several hours, include the following:
ü Muscle tension increases.
ü Heart rate quickens and breathing is accelerated. ü Skin may
become flushed (blotches of redness appear on the chest and
back). ü Nipples become hardened or erect.

Phase 2: Plateau
General characteristics of the plateau phase, which extends to the brink of
orgasm, include the following:
ü The changes begun in phase 1 are intensified.
ü The vagina continues to swell from increased blood flow, and the vaginal
walls turn a dark purple.
ü The woman's clitoris becomes highly sensitive (may even be painful to
touch) and retracts under the clitoral hood to avoid direct stimulation
from the penis. ü The man's testicles tighten. ü Breathing, heart rate,
and blood pressure continue to increase. ü Muscle spasms may begin in
the feet, face, and hands. ü Muscle tension increases.
Phase 3: Orgasm
The orgasm is the climax of the sexual response cycle. It is the shortest of the
phases and generally lasts only a few seconds. General characteristics of this
phase include the following:
ü Involuntary muscle contractions begin.
ü Blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing are at their highest rates,
with a rapid intake of oxygen. ü Muscles in the feet spasm. ü There is a
sudden, forceful release of sexual tension.
ü In women, the muscles of the vagina contract. The uterus also undergoes
rhythmic contractions.
ü In men, rhythmic contractions of the muscles at the base of the penis
result in the ejaculation of semen. ü A rash, or "sex flush" may appear
over the entire body.
Phase 4: Resolution
During resolution, the body slowly returns to its normal level of functioning, and
swelled and erect body parts return to their previous size and color. This phase
is marked by a general sense of well-being, enhanced intimacy and, often,
fatigue. Some women are capable of a rapid return to the orgasm phase with
further sexual stimulation and may experience multiple orgasms. Men need
recovery time after orgasm, called a refractory period, during which they
cannot reach orgasm again. The duration of the refractory period varies among
men and usually lengthens with advancing age.

The reproduction and sexual health circle also includes our knowledge and
attitudes about sexual health: contraceptives, sexually transmitted infections
(STIs), the development of a baby in the uterus, and our general sexual health.
Oh yes, let’s not forget oral sex, intercourse and any sexual activity.
SEXUALIZATION
Most people think of love as something abstract. Something that exists only in
spirit or as an idea. However, many physical processes that go on inside our
bodies are responsible for that feeling we call love.
There are chemicals in your brain that influence all phases of love, such as
attraction, lust, and attachment. These are hormones and neurotransmitters with
important roles in many bodily functions.
• Lust: driven by sex hormones
• Attraction: person starts to feel love, some people are love-struck and
can’t think of anything else
• Attachment: bond helping a couple take their relationship to the next
level; it is future-oriented
In what particular order do you intend to experience falling in love, getting
married, having sex and having children?
Needs satisfied by sex:
*Biological *Psychological *Social *Existential
SEATWORK: ***Think of examples where sex can satisfy each of the
biological, psychological, social and existential needs of humans.

How would you fare in the Sexual Health Myths?
• The only way you can contract an STD is by having unsafe sex with
more than one person
• You can’t get an STI if your partner is a virgin
• You’re a prude if you want to wait until you’re older
• Movies and TV portray sex as it really is
• You can’t get pregnant the first time you have sex
• A girl can’t get pregnant if she’s menstruating
• Oral sex is not sex
• Girls never pressure guys to have sex
• If you really loved him or her, you’d want to sleep with them
• Having sex makes you more matured and an adult
Remember, it is important that Consent should be given when deciding to
engage in sexual intercourse. Consent has to be:
1. explicit
2. change of mind is possible
3. slowing things down or stopping is okay
4. affected by drink and drugs

1. Social and Business Value: Motivations For Completing A Given Task (Heyman &
Ariely, 2004)
a. Social Value
• When people recognize the social value of a task, they think that it
is a worthy investment of their time, that it is part of social duty,
and they are often happy to help out
• When money is involved, people think less of social value and more
of business value
b. Business Value
• People that focus on the business value of a task often demand for
compensation before or after they have engaged in it.
E.g. When taking care of the elderly or young relatives,
some people do it voluntarily (social value) while some ask to
be compensated (business value).
3. Self-view
• The amount that people earn could have an effect on how they
view themselves
• Class Essentialism is the belief
that differences between classes
are based upon identity and
genetics, rather than
circumstance
• Wealthy people are more likely
to believe that they were entitled
to wealth based upon their
personal circumstances and
actions, whereas poor people tend to believe that anyone can
be rich and anyone can be poor.
4. Ethics
• Those who perceive themselves to be in a higher
class are the most likely to engage in unethical
behavior • According to Piff (2012), Self-interest
Maximization is the idea that suggests those
that have the most money or occupy higher
classes are more likely to according ask “What’s in
it for me?”

behavior motivated by a process that
leads to a seemingly positive
outcome (not an addictive
substance).

• Modern humans
assemble collections of
non-necessities for

definition (e.g. cars, shoes)
• Collections may be security blankets for adults
2. Pets
• Representatives of the self and given characteristics of people
• Some pets are regarded as family members and become surrogate
parents for children and surrogate children for adults.

3. Body Parts
• Cathexis is defined as charging an object, activity or an idea
with emotional energy.
• When a body part is more highly cathected, there is greater use of
grooming products to care for this part of the body
• Women generally groom and tend to cathect body parts to a
greater degree than men and that such cathexis reflects self-
acceptance.
• The body is more likely and more strongly cathected as
compared to other objects since it is permanent.

EXPLAIN
Are you now more aware of your Political Self? Let’s learn more about it.
ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP
· Active citizenship refers to the structured forms of engagement with
political processes and everyday forms of participation in society. It is also
defined as the process of sharing decisions which affect one’s life and the
life of a community in which one lives. Participation is the fundamental
right of citizenship.
· Active citizenship is anchored on one’s cognitive and behavioral
engagement to participate in formal and informal political activities.
Different people manifest different levels of active citizenship; some
they take a more active approach in making their voices heard.
· Active citizenship is a practice of democracy. Democracy should not
only be thought of as a form of government. It is a communal system
that allows volitional freedom of citizens to make informed choices that
allow them to be heard.
· Active citizenship is a social construct. It fosters social relatedness
and belongingness.
· The most important goal of active citizenship is to instill change
and influence society at large.
· Active citizenship is also associated with the “sense of community.”
People, including adolescents, participate in communal activities because

So far, you have come to know and understand more about your physical,
sexual, material, and political selves. What about your Digital Self? How
important is this? Read on to understand.
In this day and age, different information that was once inaccessible are
now within reach or can be accessed with a single ‘click’. Apart from
accessible information, people continued to develop systems intended to
bring people closer together through the different social media platforms where
people could interact with each other as made possible by the internet and
the world wide web. With the rise of these platforms, people could now easily
express themselves through online interactions, may it be as simple as sharing
your basic information, to expressing your likes or dislikes, hobbies, interests,
relationship status, and the like. All of these, when taken together, is the aspect
of the self known as the ‘digital self’.
Have you ever changed the way you are behaving in a particular
situation because you know you are being watched? The same can be
said in terms of how you present yourself online. Our behaviors change
if we notice that we are being watched and observed, and the way we
present ourselves changes depending on who we are interacting with.
In a digital world where one’s self-concept may be greatly influenced by the
“likes”, “reacts” and “comments” that one gets, people try to express
themselves in a manner by which one can elicit positive reactions from
others, or one may be perceived as likable. This is what we term as
impression management.

According to Kraut, within the first two years people first accessed the internet,
their level of happiness decreased. The use of digital technology and online
interactions seem to replace or limit physical or face-to-face interactions,
thus drawing people away from more genuine encounters and meaningful
connections with others. As people create their different online personas, this
may result in feelings of jealousy and envy towards the seemingly perfect lives
of other people.
Our online interactions or internet use in general has both positive and
negative impacts. Its value in ease of communication has been emphasized
in the earlier parts of this unit. Apart from making communication more
accessible, online interactions may likewise empower individuals to change
themselves and their communities. Through responsible use of and participation
in social media, essential information may be obtained or used to our advantage
like keeping up to date with current events and political issues. It may facilitate
the expression of opinions and lobbying of concerns or needs, such as in the case
of online petitions aiming to promote different advocacies or to lobby
grievances to concerned authorities. However, online interactions also have a
fair share of negative consequences on the self. As everyone could create
and distribute content all over the internet, anyone could be a target of
identity theft, like you. Anyone could be a victim of false information, and
the most rampant today, fake news. That is why fact checking is emphasized
today more than ever. The risk of developing poor social skills, internet
addictive behaviors and low self-esteem come with prolonged and
irresponsible internet use. Last but not the least, it is common knowledge
that here in the Philippines, we have the R.A. 10175 (Cybercrime
Prevention Act of 2012) primarily aimed to protect internet users from
several legal offenses committed online or through a computer system like
cyberbullying, cybersex, child pornography, identity theft, illegal access to data
and libel.

1. Dematerialization: Now that we are in the digital age, things that were
formerly tangible have become invisible and immaterial. To research, we
browse the internet more, and fewer and fewer people visit libraries to get
a hold of books. Photos, videos and music now have what we call as “soft
copies”.
3. Sharing: Through the internet, people can now easily and freely access
and share information, movies, photos, music, and the like. A simple tap
on your digital device allows you to share to the world wide web a
photo of yourself, the food you eat, the places you go to, etc. You can
create your own blog and share your innermost thoughts, or create your
own Youtube channel to share whichever content you choose, may it
be your cooking skills, makeup skills, lifestyle, travels, online gaming, and a
whole lot more.
Now that much has been said about the digital self and online interactions, it
is of equal importance to know how to protect yourself from digital offenses
and harm. Here are some tips you can observe:
• Stick to safer sites. If a website is not secure or appears to be
suspicious, leave immediately.

• Limit what you share. Again, everything you share on the internet
stays there forever. Avoid oversharing, especially those which you
think are things that can be used against you, or worse, used to
blackmail you. Is it helpful? Does it really concern others? Think
before you click.

EXPLAIN
The Spiritual Self is said to be the subjective and most intimate dimension of the
self. It is experienced and understood by the person him/herself, and it would be
difficult to explain this experience to others. The Spiritual Self is who we are at
our core. The spirit and the soul are sometimes seen as one and the same. The
concept of the soul is the non-physical aspect of the person that manifests
consciousness, thought, feeling, and will. It is the person’s moral and emotional
nature, where one’s most private thoughts and feelings are kept. Oftentimes,
people perceive spirituality and religion to be the same. There is, however, a
difference between the two.
RELIGION, on the other hand, is the belief in and worship of a personal God or
gods. It is referred to as a set of beliefs, feelings, dogmas, and practices that
define the relationship between human beings and the Sacred.

2) Hero
The character that displays courage and will for self-sacrifice.
3) Shadow
This is the animal side of our personality (like the id in
Freud). It is the source of both our creative and destructive
energies. In line with evolutionary theory, it may be that
Jung’s archetypes reflect predispositions that once had
survival value.
4) Persona
The persona (or mask) is the outward face we present to the
world. It conceals our real self and Jung describes it as the
“conformity” archetype. This is the public face or role a person
presents to others as someone different to who we really are (like
an actor).

POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
Positive psychology is the study of happiness, flourishing, and what makes life
worth living. Positive psychology has spurred research in a variety of areas, such
as happiness, optimism, self- esteem, well-being, motivation, flow, strengths and
virtues, hope, resilience, mindfulness, and positive thinking. Specifically, it
focuses on three areas of positive experiences: the past (well-being and
satisfaction) the present (happiness and flow) and the future (hope and
optimism).

How can you build positive emotions? You may want to try some of these:
Keep a gratitude journal: Everyday, write down 5 things you are grateful for. It
may be a person, object, pet, experience, event, your own physical
characteristics, talents, etc.
Do random acts of kindness: It could be as simple as picking up litter and
throwing it in the right place, letting someone go ahead of you in a queue,
sending a thank you message, etc. A simple act of kindness goes a long way.
Spend time with people who matter: Despite your busy schedule, set some time
to catch up with family, friends, people you have not spoken to for a while. Do this
without the distraction of your cellphone/gadget.
Surround yourself with “real” friends: Doing so enables you to build a resilience
circle, where friends can energize and make you feel renewed during down times.
Engagement refers to “being one” with a certain activity, that you lose track of
time because of being absorbed in it. It is about doing things you enjoy, things
that make you a better person, things that promote good. Being engaged in
these activities leads us to be so focused that time seems to stop – what is
referred to as “flow”. According to Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the leading

Identify your strengths: What are you good at? Where do you excel? In what
instances do people compliment you?
Be mindful: Practice mindfulness techniques that can help you be in the moment
and limit distractions so you can fully focus on what you are doing.
Savor the moment: Be aware of your thoughts, notice how you are feeling, and
take note of your bodily sensations and reactions.
Have a “buddy”: Sometimes, it helps to have someone who shares the same
interests as you. This can motivate you, as well as provide necessary feedback
for you to improve and develop in a particular skill or task.
RELATIONSHIPS
our lives, relationships can be maintained more easily with the many
applications and platforms that enable us to communicate with each other,
no matter the distance.
Re-establish relationships with people you have lost touch with: Think of those
you have not spoken to in a while, and find ways to reach out to them.
Give time: Create time to see (or call, text, message) friends to maintain
your current relationships.
Show positivity: People enjoy being around those who are happy, optimistic, and
hopeful.
Develop your listening skills: When talking
to someone, make an effort to really listen
to, and not just hear, what the person is
saying. Make it about them, and not always
about you.
MEANING
Meaning is about belonging to and serving something you think is better than
the self. It is feeling and knowing the value of what we are doing, and is an
intrinsic human quality. This means that to find meaning, we need to be able to
feel a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Having meaning in life is also
relevant to having and feeling a sense of purpose. This experience is different
for each and every person. It is dependent on what we are passionate about.
Meaningful experiences can be created each time you choose to make an
experience meaningful. Even negative experiences can be meaningful, when
we learn from them. Furthermore, having connections with something bigger is
an effective barrier against stress, depression, and anxiety.

2. Practice: daily discipline of trying to do things better than you did yesterday
Before you start giving up on a difficult task, ask yourself how much time you
have devoted to actually work on it, and how much time are you planning
to work on it again. Look at the requirements of Deliberate Practice below:
Clearly defined stretch goal.
Full concentration and effort
Immediate and informative feedback
Repetition with reflection and refinement

4. Hope: learn to keep going even when things are difficult
“Fall seven, rise eight.” So the saying goes. If you cannot work on a textual
lesson, find another way of learning it by googling a related video clip tutorial.
Sometimes, engaging our other senses (if not visual, make it auditory, etc.) to

UNIT 3: GOAL-SETTING
A discussion on strategies to plan and work on achieving personal goals that
pave the way for success shall be the focal point of the last module for the Short
Term period. It shall explore goal-setting theories that can provide practical
ways for you to set, maintain, pursue, and attain goals.
ENGAGE
Once there was a man named Howard Hill. He was a very famous archer. With
a single arrow he can kill a buffalo. He can send his first arrow and it can kill a
moving target – a Bengal tiger, straight out.
If he has a target. His first arrow can hit the target bull’s eye! No practice
needed. And he can send a second arrow and split into two the first arrow.
Now you might be thinking, “Wow! That is great talent! No one can beat
Howard Hill.” But I tell you, you can! And you think again…”How can I? I have
not even touched a bow and arrow my whole life?” You see, you can. Yes
you. For that, you would need a big handkerchief to blindfold Howard Hill. Make
him turn around three times before you start the contest and for sure you will
beat Howard Hill because he would not know which direction he is facing and
you can.
Silly as it goes, here is the most important point of the story: IF HOWARD HILL
CANNOT HIT A TARGET HE COULD NOT SEE, HOW CAN YOU HIT A TARGET YOU
DO NOT HAVE?

EXPLORE
“I don’t have time!” This a common utterance for us these days. Part of the
success in targeting goals is the utilization of resources. One of them is time. In
the activity sheet below make an inventory of your 24 hours by identifying
activities that you do the whole day from the time you wake up until you turn in
to sleep at night. Approximate the time duration for each activity then proceed
with the task as instructed.

Next: Add the total number of minutes you spend for LEISURE (*)
Add the total number of minutes you spend for academics (#)
You see, the total number of hours we spend for a task is the MEASURE OF OUR
COMMITMENT for it. Imagine a girl asking her boyfriend “Tayo pa ba?” when
they do not spend time together anymore to go out, talk, for messages and so
on. Imagine if your course subjects will ask you that if you do not spend as
much time in reviewing, doing assignments or projects, etc. “Tayo pa ba?”

Success is not only dependent on what we know. Execution is. So get to know
more about goal setting and proceed to the evaluation exercise at the end of
this unit.
EXPLAIN
Let’s look into what goals are and how we can achieve them.
BASIC PRINCIPLES
1. CLARITY
Clear goals identify specifically measurable tasks to be accomplished, the
standards of efficient work and definite completion dates. There is less ambiguity
on expectations of what is to be achieved and how accomplishments are
rewarded. The SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-
bound) goals mnemonic by Blanchard and Johnson is very useful in goal setting.
Clarity will also specify the concrete steps, the basic actions, toward the goal
hence making the goal closer to reality than simply eyeing it. Hence it becomes
an action rather than just a vision. Practitioners term it as the key results under
each objective or goal. Wanting to graduate (goal) has to be concretized in
daily school tasks; Daily school requirements (finishing a paper) has to be
concretized into smaller concrete tasks of reading background data, watching
video clips, and listing down key points you need to cover before you get to
finally write that paper. When you divide up the long term goal into
manageable short term goals, what was initially daunting becomes more
achievable. You would find yourself flying and skipping through hurdles that you
initially perceived as insurmountable.

2. CHALLENGE
The level of difficulty of a goal determines the motivation in maintaining effort in
doing a task. Too easy goals may not be deemed as important while too difficult
goals may not give immediate feedback of accomplishment.
3. COMMITMENT
The degree to which one is engaged in the task from start to finish can be
measured by the time and effort all throughout. Commitment may be
dependent on factors such as task difficulty, incentives and teamwork.
4. FEEDBACK
This provides opportunities to clarify expectations, adjust goal, adjust difficulty,
and
gain recognition. This can also be a time to adjust resources. Feedback can
come from others or it can be measured against the progress of work as
specified in the first principle.
5. TASK COMPLEXITY
Difficult tasks can be given longer deadlines and divided into achievable
batches.
People working on it should have the basic know-how and the availability of
coaching when needed.

HIERARCHY OF GOALS
Low level goals are the day-to-day actions like jogging, checking messages,
reading, etc. Check out if they are means to an end of a higher level goal
such as passing this subject.
Mid-level goals like putting in hours for work are less abstract because they lead
the person to a higher goal in the hierarchy.
Top-level goals are the ultimate goals that will drive every action at lower levels.
If an activity does not fit strongly within an ultimate goal it can be removed
from the person’s repertoire of daily activities. Or the time allotted for them can
be reduced. The greater the time spent for them, the greater the likelihood that
the person is engaging in a lot of time wasters.
EVALUATE
Goals are important, but theories also stress the importance of the process and means by
which they are realized. Concretize the principles above on this journal exercise.

Take not of how the hierarchy should progress from highly specific to
the general goal on the top level.
