PERSONHOOD
It is the state or period of being a
person.
Morality is rooted in the personhood
of an individual. It is fundamentally
anchored on the understanding of
the individual self and the
personhood of others. Moral values
are born from human interactions in
society.
Personhood is such an intricate,
mysterious reality that is not exactly
the same for all. Understanding the
complexity of one’s own personhood
helps to understand others.
Morality recognizes the depth and
mystery of personhood that is
instrumental to building the ideal
society.
FAMILY

The family is a product of a


particular culture. It is the
basic unit of society and the
primary source of morality.
Parents are the first teacher
of right and wrong.
As one grows up, he or she
becomes wiser and more
independent and spends more time
with friends and less with family.
While one may still hold on to
certain moral values, he or she may
already have a powerful desire to
discover and explore new things.
CULTURE
It is the arts, customs, lifestyles,
background, and habits that
characterize humankind.
Today, culture is influenced largely by
mass media. It is seen as an effective
channel in the transmission of cultural
messages-whether widely accepted or
not-to society.
Culture changes:

1.Taboo that have become


accepted
2.Diverse behaviors
3.Reinvention of morality
