Eudaimonia is a property of one's life when considered as a whole. Flourishing is the highest good of human endeavors and that. It is success as a human being. The best life is one of excellent human activity. For Aristotle, the good is what is good for purposeful, goal-directed entities. He defines the good proper to human beings as the activities in which the life functions specific to human beings are most fully realized. For Aristotle, the good of each species is teleologically immanent to that species.
A person's nature as a human being provides him with guidance with respect to how he should live his life. A fundamental fact of human nature is the existence of individual human beings each with his own rational mind and free will. The use of one's volitional consciousness is a person's distinctive capacity and means of survival.
One's own life is the only life that a person has to live. It follows that, for Aristotle, the "good" is what is objectively good for a particular man. Aristotle's eudaimonia is formally egoistic in that a person's normative reason for choosing particular actions stems from the idea that he must pursue his own good or flourishing. Because self-interest is flourishing, the good in human conduct is connected to the self-interest of the acting person.
Good means "good for" the individual moral agent. Egoism is an integral part of Aristotle's ethics. Use the data sheet below to write down your answers. For the data analysis, assume that you performed the test and were able to prove that your hypothesis is an answer to the problem. What do you think will happen if the steps in scientific method are in different order?
If you would be adding more steps to the scientific method, what would be these steps? Discuss the additional steps you are proposing. Activity 2: Role Play Direction: Break up your class into groups of four or five students. What role do your relationships with others have in the development of meaning in your life? How would you categorize what is important in life and what is not? From the picture below describe and assess the evolution and development of science and technology along fields of medicine, agriculture, education, information and technology and many more.
Using the materials listed above, make a collage by cutting pictures in magazines or newspapers or make illustrations that will demonstrate human condition before the common era and the human condition during the common era and.
You may include their day to day activities, their ways of achieving survival and their strategies to attain high productivity. You may opt to print pictures using the web. After making the collage, you may list down notable human conditions before the common era and during the common era and briefly discuss these conditions.
Before the Common Era. As we always claim that humans are gifted with wisdom and more advanced than any other creatures, our ancestors were able to utilize available materials to make their life more comfortable. In your own perspective, how has technology affected the following aspects given the two-time frames?
Fill out the table below. You are now dependent on the comforts of what technology has brought to us. This time, try to imagine our world without technology? How do you think our daily routine would be like?
Demonstrate a scenario where certain technological innovation does not exist. You may form a group of five and use any technological advancement for your role playing. Science and technology have aided us in survival and helped us outsmart our adversaries, provided us comfortable life, allowed us to explore the world and assisted us in discovering more about ourselves and the truth. Following your groupings, make a survey from different groups with minimum of 50 interviewees per group as follows:.
Each group should elicit their answers to the following questions below. Summarize their responses and rank the said responses. What would have happened to humankind if technology did not exist?
Do you agree with Martin Heidegger in his idea that technology should only be seen as one of the approaches in perceiving truth? What other approaches you know that can be considered? It is interesting to note that the first philosopher who approached the problem of reality from scientific lens is Aristotle who is also the first thinker who dabbled into the complex problematization of the end goal of life: happiness.
Compared to his predecessor and teacher, Plato, Aristotle embarked on different approach in figuring out reality. Plato thought that things in this world are not real and are only copies of the real in the world of forms. While Aristotle puts everything back to the ground in claiming that this world is all there and that this world is the only reality, we can all access.
Aristotle also forwarded the idea that there is no reality over and above what the senses can perceive. As such, it is only by observation of the external world that one can truly understand what reality is all about. Change is a process that is inherent in things. We, along with all other entities in the world start as potentialities and move towards actualities.
The movement, of course, entails change. It eventually germinates and grows into a plant. The seed that turned to become the plant underwent change from the potential plant that is the seed to its full actuality. This can be likened to what Aristotle says that every human person aspires for an end. This end is happiness or human flourishing. And no one resists happiness because we all want to be happy. Materialism The first materialists were the atomists in Ancient Greece.
Democritus and Leucippus led a school whose primary belief is that the world is made up of and is controlled by the tiny indivisible units in the world called atomos or seeds. Accordingly, the world including human beings, is made up of matter and there is no need to possess immaterial entities as sources of purpose. Atoms simply comes together randomly to form the things in the world. As such, only material entities matter. In terms of human flourishing, matter is what makes us attain happiness.
The material things we possess give us ultimate happiness. We see this at work with most people who are clinging on to material wealth as the primary source of meaning of their existence. Pleasure has always been the priority of hedonists. For them life is obtaining and indulging in pleasure because life is limited. They believe that pleasure give meaning to their life without thinking of the future. Stoicism Another school of thought led by Epicurus, the stoics, exposed the idea that to generate happiness, one must learn to distance oneself and be apathetic.
The original term apatheia, precisely means to be indifferent. These group believe that they can do things at their own and believe that happiness can only be attained by a careful practice of apathy. Theism Most people find the meaning of their lives using God as the fulcrum of their existence. The Philippines, as predominantly country, is witness to how people base their life goals on beliefs that hinged on some form of supernatural reality called heaven.
The ultimate basis of happiness for theists is the communion with God. For humanists, man is literally the captain of his own ship. They see themselves not merely as stewards of the creation but as individuals who are in control of themselves and the world outside them. Scientists of today meanwhile are ready to confront more sophisticated attempts at altering the world for the benefit of humanity. Some people now are willing to tamper with time and space in the name of technology.
Using the table below, list down the different advantages and disadvantages of the different schools of thought in attaining good life and happiness. School of Thought Advantages Disadvantages 1. What is a good life? What is the relationship between good life and science? Does technology always lead us to the good life? Support your answer. Are you ready for your next topic? Happy learning! Using a graphic organizer, list down some technology you see or you use at home, at school or in your community, and in social media.
Categorize them according to their purpose transportation, communication, education, etc. Describe briefly how you or the community use these technologies you mention. When technology and humanity cross… Will it be a convergence or a clash between man and machine? A number of technological devices can be easily found inside the home, the most accessible place to anyone. Having said that, it can also be easily inferred that these technological devices are some of the most popular and most commonly used types of devices across all age groups.
People all over the world use these technologies every day to accomplish different purposes. In television, used mainly as a platform for advertisements and information dissemination.
It remains to be the most used avenue by different advertisement companies not only in the Philippines but also all over the world. Various advertising companies trust that television is still one of the most used technological devices up until today. It also serves as a recreational activity and good stress reliever to most families, specifically to Filipino families. Television also is a good platform for Komando. Lastly, it can Figure 7. In mobile phones, used primarily for communication.
It offers services like texting and calling. In the past, these were the only functions of the mobile phone but as technology progressed, there have been many additional features included on mobile phones.
In the canstockphoto. This is the reason why more and more people all over the world prefer to buy smartphones over the old models where such features are not available. These make this particular technological device very appealing to the masses. Additionally, it is very portable and convenient because it can fit into any space, may it be inside the pocket or bag. For a lot of people, they prefer to do their job using either a personal computer or a laptop than a mobile phone.
Personal computer or a laptop has wide keyboard, wide screens and separate keyboards than mobile phones. Another reason is that the availability of a mouse or a touchpad made these two technological devices easier to maneuver than mobile phones.
Lastly, for the youth and those who love to play different computer games, personal computers or laptops are really the better choice because these allow them play with comfort and convenience.
First, most parents would argue that these devices make their children lazy and unhealthy. This is because of the fact that people who are fixated on these technological advancements start and end their day by using such devices. For example, those who love to watch television shows stay in front of the television for more than six hours a day while those who love to surf the Internet or play computer games stay on their laptops, computers, or mobile phones for more than half a day. These people have the tendency to be unaware of the time because they are so engrossed with the use of technological device.
Also, there are the same people who are more likely to experience alienation because they no longer take time to get out their houses and mingle with other people. It is really concerning to know that there are people who develop different kinds of sickness because of too much use of technological devices. The agents using the devices are the ones to be blamed for the undesirable consequences, namely, laziness and unhealthiness.
In terms of alienation, it can be concluded that the people in the scientific-technological world are blameworthy because they tell the people something that seems positive but when examined closely, brings worse than good. Another dilemma faced by these technological devices is the moral dilemma. People, especially the children who are not capable yet of rationally deciding for themselves what is right or wrong, are freely exposed to different things on television, mobile phones, laptops, or computers.
Because of the availability and easy access to the Internet, they can just easily search the web and go to. This allows them to see, read, or hear things which are not suitable for their very young age. This makes them very vulnerable to character change and can greatly affect the way they view the world and the things around them.
The people in the scientific world nor the children are blameworthy because first, the children are not yet capable of rationally deciding for themselves what is good and what is bad. Second, even if creators of these technologies went out of their way to inform children of the pros and cons of these technological contributions, it would still be useless because the children have no capacity to understand them yet. So, the ones to be blamed are the adults who allowed the children to have access to such devices in first place without any supervision.
Robotics and Humanity Another great product of the innovative minds of the people is the robot which are now widely used. For example, there are so -called service robots that do specific tasks but focus mainly in assisting their masters in their everyday tasks.
Germany was one of the first countries to develop service robots. They are primarily used to ease the workload of mankind. They were invented to make life more efficient and less stressful. They perform complicated activities which human beings are incapable of doing. On the other hand, they perform the simplest tasks at home so that their masters can perform the complex ones without stressing themselves over the simple tasks. There are also robots which are made for pleasure.
To be more specific, these types of robots perform activities to entertain people. They can usually be found in amusement parks or exhibits. In addition, there are also some robots which were made to serve as toys.
They also perform different activities but they are usually child-friendly. Although the idea is to help people and make their lives a lot easier than before, it is still not immune to different ethical dilemmas and possible undesirable outcomes. One of the dilemmas faced by robots is safety.
It is important to know who should be blamed and who should be held responsible if such thing happens. Another dilemma is the emotional component. This may seem a little absurd as of the moment, but looking at how fast technology progresses nowadays, it is not completely impossible for robots to develop emotions. Should they be granted robot right?
Should they have their own set of rights to be upheld, respected, and protected by humans? Individuals and organizations use technology to enhance their daily operations, be it business, learning, construction, or medical activities.
Advancement in technology does not elicit ethical or moral issues, but it is the use of technological inventions that raises these issues. Ethical dilemmas arise when there are competing goods and competing evils.
In regard to IT, the sharing of private information within an organization raises the question of whether the action is moral or immoral. Information systems enable people to manipulate records within a short period, thus raising questions on whether the information is genuine or vague. These are some of ethical dilemmas that are yet to be solved.
Furthermore, biotechnology raises some moral issues. It is difficult to justify the use of living organisms during research and other technological discoveries. For instance, vitro fertilization enables women who are not in a position to have their own children to undergo the process.
Religious groups are opposed to such practices because their beliefs do not agree with them. Similarly, the uses of technology have the capability of making many innocent people to suffer; this is a moral concern. For example, nuclear technology has the potential of killing many people, and consequently destroying the environment.
This raises some health problems. People affected by nuclear emissions, such as those witnessed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, are deemed to be genetically impaired. Such effects can affect the next generations of affected individuals. The use of computers also raises health issues.
Even though computer makes our work easier, it is evident that prolonged use of computers results to repetitive stress injuries. In regard to job displacement, machines have enabled companies to cut down their labor force. Many companies use technological tools and knowledge, such as robots and computer to run their business operations.
Some people are forced to take different roles other than their qualification requirements and others are faced with stress related to work difficulties. The idea that the quest for strong AI would ultimately succeed was long thought of as science fiction, centuries or more away.
However, thanks to recent breakthroughs, many AI milestones, which experts viewed as decades away merely five years ago, have now been reached, making many experts take seriously the possibility of super intelligence in our lifetime.
Because AI has the potential to become more intelligent than any human, we have no surefire way of predicting how it will behave. There are things like genetic engineering, where people worry that we might one day create super-humans that will outcompete regular humans.
There is surveillance technology, making people wonder how human rights could be violated. People ask questions about whether we're going where only God should tread, and whether we should do something just because we can. The implications of many of these technologies are complex and philosophical.
The biggest risk to our future is not that technology will take over but that we will become too much like technology. We should think of technology not as what we seek but rather how we seek — it is a tool we should embrace, not one we should become. The class will form 4 groups with equal number of members as possible. Two groups shall make a skit and the other two groups shall have a simple debate.
Skit: Each group should choose a topic and think of its perceived effects and dilemma that it entails. Show your stand on a technological dilemma through a skit. What if robots become sentient, must we give them robot rights? Google and stupidity c. Genetically Modified Organisms and Food Safety. Debate: Each group will pick one topic to debate on. Members of each group must form into 2 subgroups — one as the Pro, the other as the Con.
The topics for the debate are the following:. Is technology a friend or a foe? Automation - A Threat to Employment? Internet vs. Indolence and Stupidity d. Cloning and Stem cell technology. From the graphic organizer you completed at the very start of this section, choose one technology in each category and give their risks and benefits as regards to their purpose. Explain briefly each point you included. Think of an issue be it environmental, economical, transportation, etc.
Give a description of the features of your technology. What are its benefits and drawbacks to the society? While it is true that science equips its knowers some details about the world, its main claim to objectivity and systematic methodology is at the very least flawed. Science and technology has aided us in our survival and helped us outsmart our adversaries, provided us comfortable living, allowed us to explore the world, and assisted us in discovering more about ourselves and the truth.
However, it also leads us to the paradox in which we are only able to see the world in the lenses of technological innovations leaving behind other aspects which are deemed important. In our pursuit of growth, we had conveniently forgotten that technology only presents one approach in viewing the world, thus leading us to evaluate objects or not.
It is undeniably true that man constantly aims for good life and has worked hard in pointing out what amounts to be good and what happiness means to them. In our modern times, there are different advancements given by science and technology. However, there are still problems faced by these technological advancements specifically on the ethical aspects in nature and mankind.
It is now impossible for technology and humanity not to cross paths and it is necessary that ethics be enforced in the field of technology to ensure safety and morality of these advancements to living things. What do you think will happen if human person did not flourish in terms of science and technology?
The topics for the debate are the following: a. From among the different schools of thought presented above, which among them describe you as a person or as a member of the community? Do you think it can develop you better and attain a good life? Why or why not? Blitz, M. Macat Thinking News. Accessed February 3, The Basics of Philosophy. Accessed February 3, Biological diversity is the foundation for livelihoods and sustainable development, supplying basic needs such as food, energy, medicine, recreational and cultural benefits.
However, population growth, industrialization and urbanization have accelerated the decline and extinction of species as well as the degradation of ecosystems. The losses are due to a range of pressures driven by socio-economic factors, including climate change, ecosystem degradation, illegal trade and unsustainable use.
Biotechnology can help conserve biodiversity and help protect some species from going extinct. Modern biotechnology provides breakthrough products and technologies to combat debilitating and rare diseases, reduce our environmental footprint, feed the hungry, use less and cleaner energy, and have safer, cleaner and more efficient industrial manufacturing processes.
With the development of genetic engineering, research in biotechnology developed rapidly because of the new possibility to make changes in the organisms' genetic material DNA. Genetically modified crops enable farmers to grow more crops using less land while applying fewer chemicals and conserving water and energy allowing farmers to be more productive and efficient. A range of nanotech applications for food have been used and proposed, from packaging e.
The Nano world is perhaps the fastest growing world in the twenty-first century. Global competition among nations in nanotechnology research, development and marketing is on the rise. Advantages of nanotechnology towards improving the quality of life are many. However, disadvantages of nanotechnology especially related to human health, genetic disorders and climate change are only beginning to surface raising serious concerns.
The Nano world will continue influence science and technology. Learning Objectives At the end of this topic, students will be able to:.
Imagine that you are at lost in the wilderness and there is a substitution cypher a method of encrypting message in which the letters of the original text are systematically replaced by different alphabet that you need to answer to solve your dilemma.
Information plays an important role in understanding the truth and reality. If there are information available, our lives might be enigmatic and chaotic. The development of our system of acquiring, storing and retrieving information. Information Age is the period starting in the last quarter of the 20th century when information became effortlessly accessible through publication and through the management of information by computers and computer networks.
It is a true new age based upon the interconnection of computers via telecommunications, with these systems operating on both real-time and as needed basis- Theory of Information Age Messenger, Before it has reached its current state, constant change has taken place in the form of information revolution.
At present, information turned out to be a commodity, an over developed product, mass produced and unspecialized. Information must complete 2. Newer is equated to truer 3. Selection is a viewpoint 4.

Accessibility of information was made faster and easier with the aid of computer. One of the significant applications of computers for science and research is evident in the field of bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is the application of information technology to store, organize and analyze vast amount of biological data which is available in the form sequences and structures of proteins — the building blocks of organisms and nucleic acids- the information carrier Madan, n.
Such was established because of the need to create databases of biological sequences. Application includes the Human. Activity 1 Arrange the photos chronologically by writing numbers below each photo and explain the manner by which information is being acquired, stored, retrieve and utilize. Problems on fake news have surfaced different multimedia platform, with these, users must be knowledgeable on how to verify the authenticity of a source.
Create a checklist on how to check on the reliability and authenticity of information found in websites and journals. All living things exist in balance with other living things and physical factor. With your partner, breakdown the meaning of the two words in biodiversity. Biodiversity is defined as the vast variety of life forms in the entire earth which includes the simplest unicellular organism to the most complex multicellular organism.
Serafico, Another definition of biodiversity is the variability of organisms including species thriving in different ecosystems like marine, freshwater or any aquatic and terrestrial and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity between, within and of ecosystems. Villago Globale, Biodiversity comprises abiotic and biotic factors.
Several biomes have diverse characteristics in terms of their abiotic factors that dictate the biotic factors that thrives on it. The aquatic biome can be divided into two, the freshwater biome and the marine biome. The freshwater biome includes ponds and lakes, streams and rivers, and wetlands.
Marine regions include oceans, coral reefs and estuaries. Terrestrial biomes include deserts, forest, grasslands, and tundra. After you are done defining biodiversity, ask your pair to take a walk around the campus and note of the different organisms present as well as the characteristics of their habitat. Write your answers on Table 9. Synthesize data into any graphical presentation that you can illustrate in Figure 9.
Research on the biodiversity of the country as well as the global scale and illustrate them using the same graphical representation that you have used in your local biodiversity on Figures 9. Figure 9. Your answer in the above questions actually explains that biotic factors living things are related to the abiotic factors non-living things.
For example, your answer is an increase in the population of rats in a rice field or decrease in the number of dragonflies in the area; therefore, there must be changes in the environment.
Thus, a change in the environment can cause a change in the biodiversity. And a change in the biodiversity could have erratic effects in not only in wildlife and marine but also in human beings. Now get a copy of the following articles and proceed to Activity 1. Jul- Sep, Vol5 Issue 3 p 13p.
Summer , Vol. Agro-ecology: What it is and what it has to offer? Is this the future of farming? You were tasked to read the different articles above. The first time you read your hand-out assignment , you placed your pencil down and just read to understand. Write a quick comment about why you picked that sentence, word or idea.
Lastly, share with your partner. Be sure to identify the quote or passage you selected. Life here on earth is affected by changes in the environment. Life represented by the various species face threats every day that leads to evolution and gene modification. These threats include habitat loss and destruction, alterations in ecosystem composition, over-exploitation, pollution and contamination and global climate change. Given those threats to biodiversity, different aspects in the society, health, biology and environment are at risk.
Researchers have been discovering new ways to improve crop production, address health illness and decrease biodiversity loss. Today, you must analyze the different statements on Table 9. Ask your teacher to affix her signature on the sides of your answers. Tonight, look for evidences and that may support and not support the statements and place a check mark on your decision whether you agree or disagree.
Environmental changes caused by humans can always be reversed. We can learn from previous environmental disasters so that we will not repeat the same mistake. One organism becoming extinct does not hurt nature because there are millions of organisms on earth. Breakthroughs in modern technology lead to what we call genetically modified organisms or GMOs which has changed the concept of survival. Divide the class into two groups and ask them to research on the different genetically modified organisms, the pros and cons of genetically modifying crops, and ethical implications and impacts of it.
Ask each leader to come up with different arguments supposing they belong to the negative and positive side. We should preserve every scrap of biodiversity as priceless while we learn to use it and come to understand what it means to humanity. How would you reconcile the emerging needs of human beings regarding their health and the need to protect the biodiversity?
Do you think scientific researches that modify the genes of organisms bring more advantages than disadvantages? Together let us make a stand in protecting the nature, in this way we can protect our children's future. In groups of five, brainstorm and come up with an advocacy on the need to reconcile the emerging needs of human beings and the need to protect the growth of biodiversity. Before we begin your journey to the smallest possible scale in the realm of science, try answering these questions:.
