UNDERSTANDING THE SELF

Understanding one's self, persona, and unique identity involves recognizing both overt and covert traits.
Behavior is determined by the mind and motivated by the spirit, and decisions hold individuals
accountable for their consequences.

Ethics- emphasizes our duty to love God and our neighbors, prioritizing self-preservation over
responsibility. Decisions should be weighed for the larger community, considering pros and cons, and
prioritized for self-preservation.

Morality

Morality comes from the Latin word "moralitas" which denotes manner, character, and proper behavior.
This is a principle concerning how individuals distinguish what is right from what is wrong. Morality is
what society treats as right and acceptable. They're the standards of thoughts, behaviours, and actions
that everyone in a group is expected to follow so they can all live peacefully.

Values

A value is a something that one considers to be important. It is an abstraction that is manifested in our
actions. Our image and identity can be highly a reflection of this deep seated traits and motivation. The
same may be an influence of our family, our peers, our school, our church, the government and mass
media. It is a product of our socialization process.

example of values includes honesty and sincerity which may be manifested in our desire to tell the truth
even in the midst of extreme financial constraint or other challenging moments in this human life.

There are Filipino values that are uniquely and distinctly such as pakikisama and bayanihan. These are
very positive values unless taken into the wrong light. Hence, Filipino values should be reviewed and
revisited as they have to be taken as a way to improve the individual. This is a necessity to broaden our
perspective as a people if we desire to grow and progress as a society.

Some values that project our identity and image, formed through daily tasks, reveal the direction of our
individual identity.
1. Loyalty- faithfulness to words we speak; devoted in relation- ships; conscientious to our duty

2. Sincerity- truthfulness to promises; openness and transparency about one's thoughts

3. Kindness- benevolence and gentleness in how one treats other people

4. Compassion- humane and sympathetic about what others are undertaking

5. Courage- bravery in the midst of difficulties

6. Perseverance- Steadfast and persistent to attain life goals

7. Cheerfulness- positivity and light heartedness even during adversities

8. Optimism- having a sense of gratitude to appreciate what one

possesses

9. Respect- courtesy, reverence for those in authority and of seniority

10. Volunteerism- initiative to extend help to those in dire need

11. Integrity- moral uprightness for greater credibility

Personal values serve as internal reference for what is good, beneficial, important, useful, beautiful,
desirable, and constructive. They generate behavior and help solve human problems by ranking values,
providing answers to why people do what they do and in what order. Over time, these values laid the
foundations of law, custom, and tradition.

Value Judgement

A value judgment is a subjective decision based on personal standards or values, often based on
personal evidence. It is a one-sided, objective evaluation that contradicts deliberation, balance, and
public evidence. It is based on a considered appraisal of incomplete and evolving information, and is
often insular and one-sided. It requires a balance between deeper convictions and objective, verifiable
evidence.

Some argue that true objectivity is impossible, as scientific truths are tentatively held based on careful
evidence and experience. Scientific views are socially constructed value judgments involving aesthetical,
ethical, ideological, moral, and other interpretations, not arguable statements of fact.

Existential Humanism and The 'Self

This is a principle focusing on the human subject struggling for self- knowledge and self-responsibility. It
is stated that the best use of our capacity for making choices is to freely choose to live a fully human life,
rooted in a personal search for values, rather than an external code.
Jean-Paul Sartre- Existential-humanistic psychology, classified under humanism, emphasizes the
freedom of individuals to make choices, independent of religion or society. It emerged as an alternative
to behavioral therapies and psychodynamic processes, emphasizing individual goals and aspirations.

Understanding a person's subjective experience without judgment is crucial for humanistic therapists to
assist in dealing with issues. The self-concept, which evolves from childhood, is essential for humanists.
They believe individuals have the capacity to change behavior and heal, viewing them as interconnected
and integrated.

Individuals have the power to make choices and improve self-esteem. According to Sartre, "man first of
all exists, encounters himself, surges up in the world and defines himself afterwards". Paul Sartren
emphasizes that defining a person's existence precedes their essence, as there is no one-size-fits-all
approach to character, goals, interests, or decisions.

Thus, Sartre rejects what he calls "deterministic excuses" and claims that people must take responsibility
for their behavior. Sartre advocates for people to take responsibility for their actions, defining anguish
as the emotional response when they realize their actions guide humanity and influence others'
judgments. Anguish is linked to despair, an optimistic reliance on possibilities.
