Q1. From the big three, which philosophy do you think provided you with the best
curriculum guide as a teacher in terms of preparation?
ANSWER: As a teacher, all three philosophers - Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle - have
made significant contributions to the field of education specially to me as educator who
aimed a well-rounded skill in the 21st century for an inclusive education. Each philosopher
offers unique insights and perspectives that can be valuable in shaping my curriculum as
guide of my teaching along the way.
Each of the triumvirate philosophers, contributed significantly to my educational
philosophy even as whole in the field of education. Socrates emphasized the importance of
questioning and dialogue in the learning process, Plato focused on the pursuit of knowledge
and the study of abstract ideas, and Aristotle's philosophy centered on empirical observation
and the study of the natural world.
While, Socrates, known for his Socratic method, emphasized critical thinking and
questioning. His philosophy encourages my students to actively engage in discussions and
develop their own understanding through inquiry. Incorporating Socratic questioning
techniques in my curriculum can foster intellectual curiosity and promote deeper learning.
However, Plato, a student of Socrates, believed in the importance of a well-rounded
education. His philosophy emphasized the development of the whole person, including
intellectual, moral, and physical aspects. Plato's curriculum guide focused on subjects such
as mathematics, music, physical education, and philosophy. It integrates a diverse range of
my subjects in the curriculum that can help my students develop a holistic understanding of
the world.
Moreover, Aristotle, a student of Plato, emphasized the importance of observation
and empirical evidence in learning that influence my way of developing my curriculum. His
philosophy focused on practical knowledge and my application of concepts that enhance my
way teaching. Aristotle's curriculum guide included subjects in logic, rhetoric, ethics, and
natural sciences field. It influences me in incorporating my hands-on activities, real-world
examples, and practical applications in my curriculum that can help my students connect
theoretical concepts to their everyday lives.
In conclusion, all three philosophers offer valuable insights to me in designing my
own
curriculum development. I put together by combining elements of critical thinking from
Socrates, holistic education from Plato, and practical application from Aristotle, I can now
create a comprehensive curriculum guide that prepares my students for a well-rounded
education.
Q2. Share your own personal philosophy about love.

For me love is a complex and multifaceted emotion that holds a special place in my
personal philosophy. To me, love is not just a fleeting feeling or a romantic notion, but rather
a deep and profound connection that transcends boundaries and enriches our lives.
First and foremost, love is about acceptance and understanding. It is about
embracing someone for who they truly are, flaws and all, and supporting them
unconditionally. Love is not about trying to change or mold someone into our ideal image,
but rather celebrating their uniqueness and encouraging their personal growth.
Love is also about empathy and compassion. It is about putting ourselves in
someone else's shoes and truly understanding their joys, sorrows, and struggles. It is about
being there for them in both good times and bad, offering a listening ear, a comforting hug,
or a helping hand.
Furthermore, love is about trust and respect. It is about creating a safe and nurturing
environment where individuals can be vulnerable and authentic. Love involves treating
others with kindness, dignity, and respect, and valuing their opinions, feelings, and
boundaries.
Love is not limited to romantic relationships; it extends to our relationships with
family, friends, and even strangers. Love is about fostering connections and building
meaningful relationships that bring joy, support, and fulfillment to our lives.
In my personal philosophy, love is a lifelong journey of growth and learning. It
requires effort, patience, and commitment. It is about continuously nurturing and
strengthening the bonds we have with others, and never taking love for granted.
Ultimately, love is a powerful force that has the ability to transform lives and make the
world a better place. It is through love that we can create a more compassionate,
understanding, and harmonious society.
I believe that by embracing love in all its forms and embodying its principles in our
daily lives, we can cultivate a more loving and inclusive world for ourselves and future
generations.
Q3. Share your own personal philosophy about happiness.

My personal philosophy about happiness is that it is a state of mind that can be
cultivated and nurtured through various practices and perspectives. I believe that true
happiness comes from within and is not solely dependent on external circumstances or
material possessions.
In my view, happiness is not a destination to be reached, but rather a journey to be
embraced. It is about finding joy and contentment in the present moment, regardless of the
challenges or difficulties we may face. It involves being grateful for what we have, rather
than constantly striving for more.
I believe that happiness is closely linked to self-acceptance and self-love. It is about
embracing our strengths and weaknesses and being kind and compassionate towards
ourselves. It also involves cultivating positive relationships and connections with others, as
human connection and a sense of belonging are essential for our well-being.
Furthermore, I believe that happiness is not a constant state, but rather a fluctuating
experience. It is normal to experience a range of emotions, including sadness, anger, and
frustration. However, by developing resilience and practicing mindfulness, we can navigate
through these emotions and find our way back to a place of happiness.
Ultimately, I believe that happiness is a personal and subjective experience. What
brings happiness to one person may not necessarily bring the same level of joy to another. It
is important to honor and respect our individual paths to happiness, while also being open to
learning from others and exploring new avenues for personal growth and fulfillment.
