NSTP CWTS 17 CHAPTER 3: VALUES DEVELOPMENT FOR CITIZENSHIP TRAINING The values we hold as individuals or as a society play a critical role in shaping the language we use to express our ideas. They influence the words we choose, the tone of our language and the way we structure our sentences. Sometimes we might express our values explicitly, but other times, values are implied through what we say and how we say it. Therefore, it is essential to be aware of our values and how they influence our language so we can, in turn, interrogate a range of texts from stories to articles to speeches to determine the writer or speaker's values based on the language they use. WHAT IS A VALUE? Values are the principles or ideals we hold as important, good, desirable or worthwhile. They are our most fundamental beliefs that are closely linked to our identity and they guide or motivate our attitudes and behaviours. Values are usually stated as a word or short phrase and are usually positive. SHARED VALUES vs. PERSONAL VALUES Shared values, often called dominant values, are the views and beliefs that are widely shared among the majority of a society or group. Some of these might be related to our specific society or culture e.g. Australian values such as freedom, egalitarianism or the outdoors. These cultural values can be so normalized or naturalized that we accept them without question. Personal values are those that shape and influence our own lives. These can vary from person to person and they might sometimes challenge the dominant cultural or societal values or attitudes. Our unique perspective and personal context (e.g. age, gender, life experiences) inform these. They might also shift or change throughout our lives due to different circumstances. PREAMBLE OF THE 1987 CONSTITUTION We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God, in order to build a just and human society, and establish a Government that shall embody our ideals and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony, and secure to ourselves and our posterity, the blessings of independence and democracy, under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this Constitution. PRESBITERO, SOFIA DENISE E. NSTP CWTS 17 WHAT IS PREAMBLE? A preamble is an introductory and preliminary statement in a document that explains the document's purpose and underlying philosophy.

History - The Filipino is the product of colonial history, who is regarded as the culprit behind the lack of nationalism and colonial mentality. - Colonization has developed the mindset of Filipinos to think of colonial power as superior and more powerful. The Educational System - The inherent problems caused by using a foreign language resulted in other issues for the Filipinos. Using foreign educational materials, instead of local ones, is problematic in a sense that the teachings the student learn from their schools are irrelevant in the Philippine setting. Religion - The Filipino's optimism and capacity to accept the hardships of life are rooted in religion. However, religion instills the attitudes of resignation and preoccupation with the afterlife, thus becoming vulnerable to being victimized by opportunism, oppression, exploitation, and superstition.

NATIONALISM - the attitude of the members of a nation, as well as their national identity, origin, ethnicity, and culture. - the action taken by all members of a nation when seeking to achieve or sustain the full statehood with complete authority over domestic and international affairs.
