1. The values, beliefs, and attitudes I have are the sum of things that I imbibe from my family, relatives, friends, culture, experiences, events and society from where I come from. These are the things that defines me as an individual who is unique from others. It is the foundation of my individuality and with these I can say it is pointless to compare myself from others. Each one has his/her own set of values, beliefs, and attitudes and are influenced by different circumstances so with these differences respect, understanding, and open-mindedness are needed for all.
ReplyDelete2. The values, beliefs, and attitude I have, first of all, start from my physical or biological make-up and this determines how my parents should raise me and how I should act. As I grew up I started to make connections to my parents and sister. As a child I learned the dynamics in the family, values, beliefs, and attitudes which for me a world in its own. As I learned to integrate myself to other people and institutions or organizations, I learned that there is a different world outside from my family. I learned that there are values, beliefs that are different from what we practiced in the family. By stepping into another world I learned to adjust myself in order to deal with changes. Dealing with changes confronts my old values, beliefs, and attitudes which bring tensions. Tensions are signs of development because it evaluates the old system. In dealing with tensions I learned to be critical because there are changes worth adapting while there are also values, beliefs, and practices worth retaining. Aside from tensions, taken also into considerations different personal experiences test my values, and beliefs that it created a hybrid form of system in me.
Culture and society takes also a vital factor in the development of my values, beliefs, and practices because as an individual looking for a niche in the society I need to conform of what is the system of the wider community. From my childhood up to now I am not homogenously a product of one system but rather a hybrid of all systems. What I have now as values, beliefs, and attitudes are the result of a journey from myself to a wider context.
1. I value God, my family, my work/ school, and my community. I am a devout Roman Catholic and has a great devotion to our patroness in Pateros, St. Martha. I love serving my community by participating in the different activities of my parish and my organization. I am a person who has a tendency to be perfectionist but releases my stress when I paint and sing. I am a very jolly person but most of the time I wanted to be alone contemplating on certain things. I love plants and at times I enjoy cooking food for my friends and family. Since I am a native of my town, i tend to be clannish and would choose friends that I get along with. I believe in equality among men and women and is proud of being a Filipino.
ReplyDelete2. I think i have inherited my love for music from both parents since both of them sings very well but my artistic side was from my father since most of his brothers and sisters can drew or sketch very well. I grew up at my dad's parents, Nanay Juling and Lolo Damaso until i was 9. I have gained from them my interest in cooking and gardening. But i strongly agree that i got my tendency to be perfectionist from them because I was brought up in a very strict environments with many rules to follow especially that of my lolo Damaso. Since our ancestors are chinese, I have leaned from him the value of our family and our name. But it also lead me to be more careful associating with others which made me a little clannish. On the other hand, if I am to be referred to as spiritual and compassionate, I would say that I had this trait from my mother's mom, Nanay Sidra. She is a good speaker, very compassionate and very religious/spiritual. Both my mom and dad are cool, but the one who has a more serious personality is my dad. Perhaps from him i got my being loner and contemplative.
2. Since i grew up with my Lolo Damaso and Lola Juling, i would always hear stories about the world war II and how hard they have lived their life then, from this i think is why i also got my tendency to be a vert cautious person. However my personality now was not just influenced by my family and relatives.Since I am involved int he church, I was also influenced by the way of thinking of some of my co servants and has made me see the world differently. I have also been associated with scholars and somehow I have gained from them on how I view my self as a person and as a Filipino. I also had a change to live and study in Canada which I also think had a great impact on the way I think and behave and the how I look at my self.
Delete1.I want to compare my values, beliefs and attitude to a tree. As time goes by it grew stronger. Wind, rain and heat of the sun may affect it but it just makes the tree stronger and able to live. Simple yet flowing, stressful yet satisfied. As I went through problem, challenges and trials of life it helps me to acquire a good value, which turns out to be my belief and turn my attitude to be who I am today. Not by my own strength but by the grace of God.
ReplyDelete2. The development of my values, belief and attitudes all starts with my parents, the combination of their traits whether physical, emotional and psychological. My other traits develop through playing with my childhood friends with the famous Filipino games, attending piano lessons even karate and dance competitions. It helps me to be confident and be satisfied with myself.
During my teenage years I am exposed with Christian bands in our church and also do ministerial works for the youth. My family especially my father influences us to go to church and serve the Lord, with these events I learn how God loved me and made me to be who I am today, the acceptance and love that I felt those time really changed my life.
Back then music was just a pass time for me I enjoy listening to different music and comparing their lyrics, timing and melodies. Little did I know that this is where God wants me to be, a teacher of music. I think my parents and the community that pushes me to learn my craft has a big factor in the development of my attitude especially in obedience and self-control.
1. I am afraid to commit mistakes that's why I have a tendency to be perfectionist. Being the eldest, my family taught me how to be responsible and independent. My mentors told me that I have potential to be a great leader which compliments my attitude of being choleric yet sanguine. if i would describe myself i want to describe it in three words faithful, responsible and cheerful.
Delete1. The values, beliefs and attitudes that I have now are the totality of what I’ve got from my surroundings. I value God, my family and all the things around me. I really appreciate my family and relatives since I am an only child. Being raised as the “bunso” of the family makes me a little bit childish, bubbly and sweet. In terms of my beliefs, I am a Roman Catholic and a proud believer of God. My attitude depends on the person I am with.
ReplyDelete2. My parents are the very first contributors of my values, beliefs and attitudes. My physical, mental, emotional as well as my psychological traits are reflections of what they have and who they are. My physical look is a combination of my parents’ appearance; I’ve got my father’s skin color and built from my mother. I am too emotional and a cry-baby just like my mother. Whereas, I am a fighter like my father.
Through my cousins, playmates and classmates, my other traits were developed. Having them in my life helps me found out some of my talents like dancing and writing. They help me to hone my skills through their coaching. As my environment becomes broader, I realized that aside from my parents, cousins, playmates and classmates, there are still a lot of people, organization and group around me. By then, I learn to join other groups and community for myself development. Society (e.g. school) has a great impact on the changes of my values, beliefs and attitudes may it be negative or positive. With this, my conclusion is that, what I have now in terms of my values, beliefs and attitudes is a combination of those who are around me. Nonetheless, a reflection of those who affected my development.
1. Describe values, belief, and attitudes that you have (1 paragraph).
ReplyDeleteMy values, belief and attitudes greatly changed when I found faith based on facts which are in the Bible. My faith has a great influence on my belief, values and attitude. I’m a positive thinker and speak my mind only when asked. I don’t wish to talk about myself so much because I don’t want others to expect from me. I just do my best in acting what I’m capable of the most and when I’m not, I just accept who I am. If it is possible, I try.^^
2. Trace the development of your values, belief and attitudes using the Ecological Theory (2-3 paragraphs).
Changes don’t happen in an instant. It’s a long process over time. In my case, the changes in my life started in June 6, 2008. Even my parents and people around me noticed the changes that are occurring. I have become more active in attending church and reading the Bible. Because of the changes, my family started to attend church as well.
Rather than stating the differences, I would prefer people seeing it especially those who knew my past. My spiritual and church life have the greatest influence not only to the changes in my life, but also to my family.
1. Describe values, belief, and attitudes that you have (1 paragraph).
ReplyDeleteI value learning. I believe that learning makes my life more meaningful. And this belief impacts my attitude towards it---passionate. There is always something to know about--- from classical mythology to pop culture, from the rediscovery of the humanities to the exploration of the realms of science, from the mystery of fossils, and the puzzle that is every person. And why do I want to learn? ...Because I want to teach. I value teaching. I believe that teaching makes my life more meaningful. For when I teach, I fulfill my raison d'etre, that is, to give---with the hope that others may share my meaningful journey in finding wisdom. Hence, when I hit the books, surf the internet, and most significantly, connect with people---through extensive discourse or just plain chat---I appreciate not just the information, but the relationships, concrete and abstract---and how these relationships ultimately help me treasure that wealth which I value most---lifelong learning.
2. Trace the development of your values, belief and attitudes using the Ecological Theory (2-3 paragraphs).
Based on the Ecological Theory, my genetic make up---attributed to my predecessors who handed me the predisposition to survive in today's evolving world---and health status---are major factors that form my individuality, the core of the Urie Bronfenbrenner's model. The microsystem where I grew up was entirely about learning, discipline and connection: A knowledge focused family milieu--with parents who were teachers at the same time; A controlled school environment---with its strict rules and policies; A religious institution---with its Catholic catechisms; And a persistent peer group---with its multi-faceted and interrelated dynamisms.
And as the components of this microsystem interact with one another to form the mesosystem, my family connected to the school that connected with the church that connected with my peers---and these consequently influenced my personality. The exosystem---friends of parents and even extended families---aunts and uncles---were in the field of education. This exosystem--together with mass media--taught me right from wrong, good from bad, and, naughty from nice.
And being raised in a macrosystem that is the Filipino culture---a culture that gives credence to education as a key to a better life, I knew I have to be relentless in my acquisition of knowledge, for knowledge snaps us off the restraint of ignorance. After all, I knew what restraint is, growing up in the Martial Law years. But I know freedom as well, living in the transition years of Edsa Revolution era. And these periods form the chronosystem that shaped me to become the teacher I want to be---a teacher who will teach students right from wrong, good from bad, naughty from nice, and be a part of an education revolution that changes the world for the better and creates a more knowledgeable society---one student at a time.
1. The Values that I have learned through my growth is vast, I have personal values which help me grow as a person and how I see myself and present myself, moral values which help me distiguish wrong from right, family values which reminds me to hold only God above my own flesh and blood. As most filipino's are, I am also a Christian by faith. I believe in the Lord and put my trust in him. As my parents raised me to do what is right in every situation and I try my best to abide their wishes. I have a different attitude towards life, most just go with the flow and do what they are told, I go against that trend and do what I want. Be it the good or bad for me. I have a positive attitude which helps me see the silver lining in every dark situation.
ReplyDelete2. My microsystem is where mostly my core values, beliefs and attitutudes were developed, since this is where I grew. From my parents I developed my family values where they showed me love and care, they taught me that family is the most important thing you have in this world.
The church taught me that God is powerful beyond measure and that faith is the thread that connects us with Him. School taught me that education is key to have brighter future and how I should present myself with my peers. Politics helped me be more aware of the government and that most of them are just after the money and once they get your votes they forget about you completely, this situation can also be used in your personal life, people are only nice to you when they need something. This lesson helped me grow as a person and made me more mature when it comes to interacting with people and knowing if they are true or not.
1) The values, belief, and attitudes that I have are what I inherited from my family members, god, friends, cultures, social media, my surroundings, and the experiences that I've encountered. All these aspects makes me a person I am today. As we all know, everybody is different from one another. We all have different points of view, and sometimes even the closes people to you, you guys don't always agree on things, that's totally fine because we all have our opinion and are different in our own way. "You are the only one in this world, there no clone of you"
ReplyDelete2) The values, belief and attitudes that I believe in first came from my family members. Because when I was young they are the people who I was surrounded with everyday. At a young age, I learned the importance of god and attending church every Sunday. My grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles, and cousins would always go to church every Sunday together, and after that we would eat out or hang out the mall. At a young age I learned that Sundays are family day.
As I became older, my other traits were developed from other people besides my family, other people such as my teachers, friends, neighbors. I highly believe that my friends from college made a deep impact on who I am today. Before moving away from college, I relied on my family for everything. But when I moved away, I learned how to be on my own, be responsible, more mature and learned that if you want things to happen you gotta have determination and must go after it yourself. Because if you don't, nothing will happen. Me and my college friends all matured together, we all have our own values, beliefs, attitudes, but at the end of the way we understand each other. We all highly believe to pursue and accomplish our future goals. They were my family when I was away from my home.
To sum it up, the people that came into my life that brought positive and negative things, they all contributed of what makes me who I am today.

ReplyDeleteMy values are my moral imperatives that all of my priorities and principles are anchored. I put su much premium in FAMILY. Everything I do, believe, and think is always geared towards protecting the integrity and identity of my family. I was raised by my parents to always put family first by training us to stick together in times of happiness and problems. I always think before doing any act that will tarnish the trust of family. My belief system is deeply rooted to my family being religious to the love of Jesus Christ. My family concretely manifests our faith through the practices and teachings of the Catholic Church as part of our service and love for Jesus. I do believe that God has given us all the skills and talents that we must possess in order for us to survive in this world and go back to him when we die. One must also pray for grace and blessings for we can never achieve anything without the assistance of God. This is the reason why my parents taught us to be always present every Sunday’s Mass. This belief system that was bequethed through our family is also being passed down to the our young generation in our kinship. My attitudes are also both genetically influenced and socially conditioned by the different social organizations that I have joined in. I tend to be overly sympathetic to people I meet. I put relationship on my top list of priority through making myself available to them as much as possible by alloting my time to my love ones and closed friends.
ReplyDeleteWith the use of ecological theory by , one can realize that we are the product of our biological inheritance and social upbringing. The different social organizations that I have joined reflect my personality and attitude towards life. I have been to a family (microsystem) where we advocate the love of the family or close family ties. I have the tendency to prioritize my family members. Part and parcel of our culture in the family is to have activities together, communicate all the times, go home as early as possible, respect your parents, not only as someone who cares for me, but also our protectors and guidance. This is the reason why I protect the integrity of our family by studying hard, working professionally, and preserving our tradition and culture. I am cautious in what will stain the name of our family. This is also the same with our belief system.
I am a staunch believer of Christ and obedient follower of Church through being a role model to everyone. To re-emphasize, I want to be a reflection of my parents and our belief system. From microsystem to mesosystem, exosystem,a nd the macrosystem, I embodied the fundamentals of my values, beliefs, and attitudes in the family. That is the reason why I usually interpret and see the world through my family and faith. In the microsystem, I usually join organizations related to my personal upbringing through the church and school. In the exosystem, my kniship is also practicing the same way of life. I am totality of all the systems according to the Ecological Theory of Urie Bronfenbrenner. My development is a holistic one. When I jonied social organizations, I assume different social status, rank, and functions. I am an obedient and loving son to my parents in the family. Also, I am a helpful brother to my brothers and sister. I am a fun and loyal friend to my peer group. I am a devout Catholic Christian. I am a hardworking student. I am hardworking instructor. I am patriotic Filipino. All of these names and dunctions comprise who I am.
1. At my early age of 21, I found myself very independent and sort of a responsible person. I always make sure that everything is in good standing especially my family and of course my son. I am also committed and compassionate in every single thing that i do and always make sure that it ends with positive outcome. I do believe that family is the greatest treasure one can have. My life evolves in providing them quality life not considering myself as the breadwinner since it is still my dad but considering them as m y priority and responsibility. Something good about me is that I am a dreamer or should I say not just a dreamer but bringing dreams into reality. I really want to be a successful person so that my son will be proud of me. It is very important for me to be his model since I act not just his mom but a dad, a friend, a teacher, a nurse, a protector and every role that will satisfy his needs so that he will not feel empty in some points.
ReplyDelete2. I can say that my existence was impacted by two environmental factors that lead to who i am today. First, I grew up in a family with very close family ties, the values that i have today was molded or acquired into them or on how they mold me as a person. My mom always wants me to be the best and that builds my personality as a fighter and being compassionate in everything that i will do ensuring positive upshots. She also told me that I should be an open book to them because they know the best for me so up until now my mom and dad still takes part on my decisions. This explains the effect of the microsystem wherein attitude and values that i have right now was acquired in my family since most of my social interactions and experiences were shared or encountered with them.
Second, experiences are the best teacher. It allows you to understand life's meaning in a deeper sense. For me, of all the experiences that i encounter and resolve, it punched my personality and makes it tougher. Being a single mom at this early age is not as easy as memorizing the ABC's. It takes a lot of courage and understanding to overcome every single day. With that one, I can say that my experiences also takes part of who I am today and that explains the chronosystem.
1. My values, beliefs, and attitudes are shaped by experiences with the people around me, my environment and the situations I encounter, and my genetic makeup. This makes me who I am as an individual. I believe that each and every one of us has good and bad sides but everyone is important in our society no matter what sets of beliefs and values we have.
ReplyDelete2. My microsystem and mesosytem are from my family, the people familiar with me including some relatives, friends, and acquaintances. My values, beliefs, and attitudes started from my parents. When their genes combined it gives me the innate characteristics that I have today. When I was young I was taught by my parents the values of respect of the rights of others, love of family, honesty, and compassion. I also inherit from them the love of learning and the acquisition of knowledge because my mom was the one motivated us for learning. She encourages us in the family to never quit studying and instills in us the belief of eternal learning. Because of this, learning has given me an ample amount of choices on what ideas to believe and reject, what attitudes to imbibe, and what values to stand for. The pursuit of knowledge has given me something to discover and explore on a daily basis, and when I learn something it means I have something to teach to others who also like to learn.
My exosystem and macrosystem are the result of my work, association with organizations, reactions from situations in the society, information from media, and the politics. I am an atheist since I was in the primary school and this was rooted in my questioning of imbedded ideas by the society in which I belong. When I started going to school in the primary I usually stay in the library and read, I was exposed to books and this have opened my mind into the vastness of thoughts and learn the ability on how to compare different ideas. Because my parents are religious being members of a church organization I was also sent to schools and exposed to people who are religious, even studying in religious institutions. My political belief is anarcho-capitalistic-communism due to my exposure to different philosophies and the situation in my the place where I came from. I started to learn things contradictory to my previous knowledge and started contradicting the ideas. Having a lot of exposure to different form of thoughts, being a teacher, I will give my students knowledge which they can choose, encourage them to think outside the box, explore learning beyond what is being given, and always discover new things even beyond what is acceptable as long as it doesn't hurt them or other people.
