THE HUMAN PERSON: REVISITED

When we talk about the human person,

it is obviously everything that pertains
to man - physical, spiritual, emotional
and intellectual attributes.
 THE HUMAN PERSON: REVISITED
There are several definitions of a human
person based on different perspectives:

ARISTOTLE BOETHIUS THEOLOGIAN DICTIONARY

 WHO AM I?
CHARACTERISTICS OF A PERSON:

1. Rational - Every person is rational being. This is what

distinguishes a person from all other creatures in the world.
As rational being, a person is free to think and has the capacity
to reason. He can distinguish what is right and what is
wrong because he has intellect.
2. Free - All human beings are born free. A person has freedom
to do or not to do a specific actions. However, every person
must be responsible for his own actions..
3. Unique – Every person is unique. Every person has his own
Identity such that no two person are the same. Generally speaking,
human beings have the same characteristics and physical features
but no two person are the same because every person have different
perception, has different sets of values and priorities in life.

4. Social Being - Every person is intrinsically a social being.

He cannot detach his “being” from others and all creatures
in the universe. Human nature is characterized by his togetherness
and relationship toward other creatures; be it a thing, object or
his fellowman.
5. Sexual - All created living things are sexual in nature but the
uniqueness of expression of a person’s sexuality makes it all
different. The expression of a person’s emotions, attitudes,
feelings, actions, and thoughts in sexual activity best exemplifies
his uniqueness from animals.

THE ESSENCENCE OF A PERSON
THE 8 STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT

The stage of development are patterned sequence

encompassing appropriate physical, emotional and
cognitive tasks that the individual must muster in a
struggle to adjust to the demands of the social
environment.

Each stage should be viewed as a psychosocial crisis or

conflict – and whether the conflict of a particular stage is
successfully resolved or not, the individual is pushed by both
biological maturation and social demands into the
next stage.
THE 8 STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
 IN A NUTSHELL

The definition and characteristics of a person, the presumptions of

Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow and Erik Erikson that had been
analyzed are simply guiding principles and motivations
to better understand ourselves and examine our potentials.
Each person should start now by utilizing his gifts and talents
in obtaining his goals to positively transform and help
others realize their worth as person themselves.
