    Study Notes

    Emotions and Feelings

    • Emotions are physical responses to external stimuli, while feelings arise from the brain's interpretation of these emotions.
    • For instance, seeing a snake triggers the emotion of fear, resulting in the feeling of being afraid.
    • Fear can lead to physical reactions, such as hesitance to move in the presence of perceived danger.

    Attitudes and Behavior

    • Attitudes encompass a person's thoughts and feelings towards people, objects, and situations, shaped by personal experiences and values.
    • Behavioral manifestations of attitudes can result in various actions and reactions in different contexts.
    • Riding an overcrowded MRT can foster negative attitudes, influencing individuals to avoid the experience or react aggressively to fellow passengers.
    • Such aggressive behavior can create a chain reaction, affecting the attitudes and behaviors of other commuters.

    Holistic Development

    • The concept of the "whole person" suggests that understanding an individual requires consideration of all aspects of their being, not just isolated behaviors.

    Mind-Body Dualism

    • René Descartes proposed mind-body dualism, highlighting the separation of physical and mental aspects in Western thought.
    • Historically, medicine treated physical ailments independently of mental health; contemporary practices recognize the need for psychological support in physical illness.

    Eastern Perspective on Duality

    • Eastern philosophies, like the yin-yang symbol, view duality as a dynamic interplay where opposing forces co-exist and transform into one another, promoting a more integrated understanding of the self.

    Holism and Gestalt

    • General Jan C. Smuts emphasized holism, stating that all aspects of a person should be viewed together to appreciate their uniqueness.
    • In holistic development, behaviors are influenced by a plethora of factors, showcased through specific examples of individuals under stress.

    Values

    • Values comprise an individual’s beliefs and ideals, providing purpose and meaning.
    • Universal human values identified by entities like the United Nations include peace, freedom, and human dignity, emphasizing their global importance.
    • Different organizations possess their own values, guiding their conduct, as seen with Facebook’s corporate values.

    Virtues

    • Virtues denote habitual dispositions to perform good actions, closely linked to values.
    • The four cardinal virtues identified in the Catholic tradition are prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance, guiding moral behavior.
    • Values cultivate virtues; for example, the value of integrity fosters honesty and responsibility.

    Observation and Reflection

    • Observing behaviors in everyday contexts can reveal underlying attitudes and values, prompting introspection on their implications.
    • Analyzing specific actions, such as littering, can lead to a better understanding of the person’s attitude and the values they may lack.
