How Is Moral Character
Developed?
Introduction
1. Family,
2. Biological constitution,
3. Peer,
4. School, and
5. Community
Family
Peers, friends,
classmates, and
colleagues are also
influencers in our moral
character.
• Parents and teenagers are to be aware that in
the adolescent years, teens are drawn to
spending time with peers than family.
• The time spent with peers expose them to
other perspective and practices.
• This would test their existing morals.
• Thus, the foundation of their moral
character formed in the family should be
strong.
Community
• To be part of a community means to also share
their beliefs and/or practice their traditions or
culture. A community could pertain to a “locality,
neighborhood, town, city, or even a nation”
(Panopio, 1983, as cited in Mamawal, 1993).
