LESSON 1

ACTIVITY I
Write your philosophy in life. Express your ideas as completely and clearly as you can. Think deeply and
beyond superficialities and refuse to be satisfied with the first idea that you have. Guide questions:

1. What do you most value in life? Why?

 I valued the most in my life is my own purpose because my purpose is very important when it
comes to other people such as my friends, family, or even strangers.
2. What gives your life meaning?
 The sole reason that my life has a meaning is the people around me and the people who needs me.
3. What is the purpose of your life?
 I’m the kind of person that can be a shoulder to cry on or a person to go to whenever you need
someone to listen to your problems or to give you some advice that can be really helpful.
4. What do you hope to achieve in your life?
 I do hope that I will achieve being a successful in the future and being a physically, emotionally,
mentally and financially stable person.

ASSESSMENT I
Answer the following questions about yourself as fully and precisely as you can.
1. How would you characterize yourself?
 I characterize myself as a jack of all trades because I’m the type of person that has many skills
rather than gaining some expertise in a specific skill.
2. What makes you stand out from the rest? What makes yourself special?
 I think the thing that makes me stand out from the rest is that I can do as many things as I can
without having any trouble of doing it and it’s also the one that makes me special because having
many skills is better than having a expertise in one.
3. How has yourself transformed itself?
 I defined transformed as a other term for being a mature person and I do that by making some life
changing decisions so that when I realize that I made a wrong decision I would look back and
learn from it so that next time I’ll be more mature in making and choosing my decisions in life.
4. How is yourself connected to your body?
 I think I’m connected to my body by my mental stability because when you are mentally unstable
you tend to do some things that you aren’t doing normally and it makes yourself miserable amidst
the stability that your mental self needs.
5. How is yourself related to other self?
 Myself is a whole product of all other selves that’s why it is somehow related because I will be
not be created without the other selves contributing their own selves.
6. What will happen to yourself after you die?
 I think I’ll be roaming around the vicinity because I do have some unfinished business with the
people that come and go in my life.

LESSON 2
ACTIVITY II
Answer the following questions briefly. Use the idea of proponents discussed above.
1. How important are peer groups to socialization? In what ways do they influence individuals throughout
the life course?
 Peer Groups are important when it comes to socialization because it is the one that forms the
bond and experience all throughout the journey of your life. Different peer groups has a different
ways to influence individuals but the main thing is peer groups are the one that helps individual to
decide which is the best thing for them but not in a way of manipulation.
2. Have you ever observed someone experiencing a self-fulfilling prophecy? Explain. If you have not
personally observed this, use an example from the media, books, movies, or TV.
 I observed often that kind of people wherein they expect something positive or negative that
affects the behavior of the people in reality. I think it’s not that bad because in a short term it’s
called the feeling of guts wherein you felt something will happen bad you tend to behave more
careful than usual.
3. Have you ever experienced role strain or role conflict? Describe the different roles and how they were
strained or conflicted. How did you resolve this?
 This kind of experience I think the same as judging or expectation or impression to the person
like for example myself I’m a student that’s why I need to study hard, I’m the eldest son that’s
why I need to work hard, I’m the reliable friend that’s why I need to be available 24/7. I don’t
know if it can be solved but as long as we don’t tolerate racism or judgment we can solve this.

LESSON 3
ACTIVITY III
Write your thoughts about these:

When have you experienced cultural differences? Think about a setting in which you have
worked/interacted with different people from a range of backgrounds. These differing backgrounds may
have been about nationality but also about social class difference, religion difference, or about other
features, such as ethnicity. How did cultural differences and differing ways of doing things according to
culture become visible? List some of these.
 Cultural Differences are the various beliefs, behaviors, languages, practices and expressions
considered unique to members of a specific ethnicity, race or national origin. Some examples of
Cultural Differences as they pertain to the workplace include employees who are younger or older
than their co-workers, employees who hold higher degrees than others in the workplace and
individuals who grew up in either metropolitan areas or small towns. It is said that employees
often have more similarities than they do differences, but those differences can sometimes
outweigh the similarities. While these various differences can create a more vibrant office, they
also lead to more than a few problems resulting from culture clash.

ASSESSMENT III
Essay: Answer the following questions briefly.

Differences are influenced by where people live, socioeconomic backgrounds, levels of education,
religion, and individual lived experiences. These factors influence how people view and read their world
(Gee, 1996; Vygotsky, 1986). Diversity exists within any cultural group. And it is common that people
make generalizations based on unexamined assumptions and perceptions that can sustain stereotypes.
Why is generalization dangerous and how do you avoid it?
 It is dangerous because it will cause stereotyping of people based on the characteristics that were
mentioned like being a part of LGBTQ+, being a black people, being an Asian people and so
many more. Actually we shouldn’t generalize people or other stuffs because it’s just the same as
the other and it doesn’t change anything if you generalize or stereotype some things.

LESSON 4

ACTIVITY IV
Write your thoughts about these:

1. Write a schematic representation of your family tree identify each member with their pictures.

2. Reflect and write about your ideal self and real self. How near or far are you from ideal self.
  Actually I don’t have an ideal self and I think that being in a real self is the same as being in your
ideal self because it is you who makes you.
3. Write your need to do to realize your ideal self.
 As I said earlier my ideal self is also my real self wherein you have the right to make things on
your own and do things on your own as long as you will benefit from it. That’s why I don’t need
to do anything to realize my ideal self.

ASSESSMENT IV
Write a Self-Description Essay.

1. How do you see yourself?

2. How do you think others see you?
3. How would you like for others to see you?
4. Create your own unique title for your essay.

Me, Myself and I

Me as myself, I see it as a happy go lucky person wherein I do such things that are not really
important or valuable in my whole life but it makes me happy and stress free. Me as myself, I don’t really
care about myself all I think of are other people because I’m the kind of person that wants to make people
prevent being like me. Yes, I’m a happy go lucky person but not always because I often be attacked by
anxiety and depression but I don’t know who I am going to talk to because they might think that I just
needed some attention and all.

Me as myself, I think the others see me as a reliable, responsible and trustworthy person because I
know myself that I’m always here for them if they need me and I know also that I could be a responsible
friend and take care of them whether they need me or not.

Me as myself, I would like for others to see me as what as they see me like if they see me as bad
person then it is what it is. I don’t hide my real self just to have friends because they will accept you even
if you are the worst person in the world if they are your real and true friends.
