RESPONSIBILITY

Something to ponder on:

The principles and thinking

of Filipinos toward good
and bad were brought into
being through a long and
chained process of
colonialism.

Freedom

A primordial gift of God to

man and other creatures
Premise: men are equal
before the law and enjoy
equal protection from it
BUT- Freedom also denotes
responsibility for all actions.

Freedom

Word freedom from Latin liber,

meaning free
Freedom is the right of an
individual to think, act, or live as
he chooses without being
subjected to any restraints
BUT! Make sure the freedom of
others is not curtailed.

Responsibility

From the Latin term

respondare, which means
give back in return
An act of any individual
taking a stance of being
accountable for himself,
somebody or something

Elements connected in the exercise of freedom

and responsibility

1) To

oneself
2) To others
3) To the environment

Implication of Freedom and Responsibility in

Education

Each one has his/her own freedom. Nobody

can force us to do something that we dont
want to do.
Example: Teachers are free to choose whether
they would teach their topic with visual aids or
not.
BUT let us not forget that our freedom is still
based on our responsibility and that is to make
our children learn better.

SOCIAL

JUSTICE

Justice
A moral virtue in which an
individual has the constant and
perpetual will to render to
everyone what is due to him
Three features:
1) Conformity to law
2) Action for the common good
3) Natural right

Social Justice
refers to the economic welfare of
groups in society in which demands
an equal share of the nations wealth
among the different groups and
regions
Social Justice
Can be obtained only in respecting the
dignity of man

Three prevalent human acts contrary

to the principle of social justice

1) Graft and corruption

2) Dishonesty in trades
3) Unjust wages

FAITHFULNESS AND
TRUTHFULNESS

Faithfulness
virtue by which a person remains
true to his conviction, word and
promise, and does not disappoint
another in justified hopes

Truthfulness and
faithfulness go hand-inhand to attain its goal

Friendship

is the mutual feeling of

trust and affection and
the behavior that
typifies relationship
between two or more
people who are friends.

Marriage

is Higher than friendship in

terms of mutual
relationship because such
union responds to the call
of God to be his co-creator
and steward of creation

3 vital elements of
marriage
1) Procreation and
education of children
2) Conjugal fidelity
3) Marital indissolubility or
permanent bond.
