The

Human Person
Human Person
and
Values Development

The human person is the subject of education:


he/she is a human person
learning and being taught. The human person is
also the object of education:
he/she is at the center of the curriculum and the
entire program
Modern humans originated in Africa within the past
200,000 years and evolved from their most likely recent
common ancestor, Homo erectus, which means 'upright
man' in Latin.
Although members of the same species share more than 99
percent of their genetic makeup, individuals often have small
differences, such as in their appearance, susceptibility to disease,
and life expectancy. Another difference, one that has gone
overlooked from the evolutionary perspective, is personality
variation. Even identical twins can have personality types at
opposite ends of the spectrum.
A person is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such
as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and
being a part of a culturally established form of social relations
such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility.
Those are the facts that makes every living human apart and
different from other species
