A Critical Understanding to Philosophical Questions

BRANCH OF PHILOSOPHY: EPISTEMOLOGY CHIEF TOPIC: KNOWLEDGE QUESTIONS RELATED TO EDUCATION: 1.     Should teachers lecture, ask questions, provide experiences, or encourage activities to enable students to learn?

My Pursuit to a Happy Life

Imahe
It's a struggle... Up until now, no exact definition I have found for a very simple yet complicated word - "life". The struggle during the process of appreciating and searching its meaning is undeniably painstaking. It indeed requires time, deep reflection and deep immersion to decipher its beauty. The story why I'm writing this..... Often times, I have caught myself asking a lot of things, sometimes philosophical, and thought of putting it into writings and having it published in this blog where no one visits. I think it's something worth reading after years. Tonight, I was reminded again, that I'm too old to be young, funny it sounds, but yes!, I'm in my late 20's and it would be crazy having nothing to be done which I personally consider worthwhile. Hence, something must be done! And, starting tonight, I have promised before my journal book and my Faber Castle pen, to write when moment calls me. So sorry if my writings sound uninteresting, ...

Fabros Professional Reading No.1 Title: Everybody Does It By: Santiago Dumlao, Jr. Plain, simple and straight but eye opener-composition, truly moving.

Honestly, I have been in the shoes of Johnny many times, in my workplace, school and in many situations. It seem like it becomes a norm nowadays ...

Learning Week 1: Norms of Morality

JETHRO A. ODOY, MAEd                                                                                       May 5, 2018 EdD-EM Social and Moral Philosophy Professor: Dr. Minerva Fabros Learning of the Week No.1 Morality is a quality of a thing manifesting its conformity or non-conformity with its norms or criteria. Hence, I must say, in my opinion, morality is relative and it is influenced by culture, tradition and beliefs of a certain individual. For instance, giving tip to someone who offers service may be acceptable in the Philippines but in Japan it’s a big no, the same case with asking ice for your water in the restaurants in the Philippines is quite okay but never do that in the country like France. Yes, indeed it is relative and the culture that was boun...
