CHAPTER 47---New Case?

"Ohooo Magkasamang pumasok ang baging kasal! Congratulations! Are we expecting a baby na ba?" Biro ng bakla kong kaklase.

Hindi ko ito pinansin at dumiretso na lamang sa aking upoan. Naramdaman ko naman ang pagsunod sa akin ni Xian. Hindi na kami inasar pa ng mga kaklase namin dahil alam naman nila ang ugali ko, ayokong iniistorbo.

Nang malapit ng magsimula ang klase ay pumunta ako sa likorang bahagi ng classroom kung saan nakalagay ang mga locker. Binuksan ko ang aking locker at kinuha ang libro sa introduction to psychology. Nang makuha ko na ito ay bumalik na ako sa aking upoan. Sakto namang pumasok ang ITP teacher namin.

"Good morning class!" Bati sa amin ni Miss. Binati naman namin siya pabalik.

"For todays lesson, open your books to page 60. Lesson 5. Let's talk about the philosophy education and the human freedom" Sinulat ng guro namin ang page ng libro sa whiteboard.

Binuklat ko ang libro ko sa pahina na pinapabasa ni Miss sa amin, biglang may nahulog galing sa aking libro kaya mabilis ko itong dinampot galing sa sahig.

"I need your help. Meet me at the Grade 12 HUMSS Building's rooftop. 12noon. PS. Please, be there."

itiniklop ko agad ang papel at mabilis na inilagay ito sa aking bulsa. Itinuon ko na ang aking pansin sa aming guro

"In the broadest sense education can be defined as the process of developing and completing of human

being. It is essential to train individuals as using the information in the form of the original synthesis. The purpose of education is to provide the appropriate conditions to people for maintaining themselves as a whole. Philosophy education which is one dimension of human education is very important to discover and to develop to these abilities. Philosophy education can be defined as the thinking ability of correct, coherent, critical, systematic and productive. With the philosophy education, it can be acquired the possibility of holistic and extensive evaluation. The minds which developing the philosophical thinking habit have a distinction to apply this philosophical conduct to practical life of human and realise the most valuable and wise life." Panimula ng teacher namin.

Napalingon ako kay Xian ng bahagya niyang kalabitin ang kamay ko. Senenyasan niya ako na kunin ang papel na nasa kamay niya kaya kinuha ko ito. Kagaya ng dati ay nag sulat na naman ito ng morse code.

" .. / ... .- .-- / - .... .- -" I saw that, decode ko sa morse code na binigay niya sa akin.

" Well what are the characteristics of philosophical thinking?Philosophical thinking is the regaining of the rules of correct thinking. Correct thinking is clearly defined as the thinking subject and organization of ideas in a consistent manner. Critical thinking is another features of philosophical thinking. Critical thinking is to examinate all aspects of the subject and a review with a sense of doubt to it. Questioning is the determination of the essence and framework of thought. By questioning the mind becomes clear and the boundaries of thought occur. Philosophical thinking is to create correct, coherent, holistic and systematic thoughts. Philosophy education which based on the learning of philosophical thinking forms to the life of man. This dimension of the philosophy education can be called as the philosophical attitude." Nakikinig lang ako sa gurp namin ng kinalabit na naman ako ni Xian.

We need to discuss it first, don't go there without telling the group. Baka mapahamak ka ulit.

Inirapan ko lang si Xian at nag sulat sa papel para manahimik na siya.

".. / -.- -. --- .-- --..-- / ... - --- .--. / -. .- --. --. .. -. --. / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / -.-- --- ..- ..--.." I know, stop nagging will you?

Pagkatapos ko itong ipasa sa kanya ay nakinig na ulit ako sa guro namin.

"Philosophical attitude helps the evaluation of the events and to regulate the human relations. Philosophical attitude provides the correct decision-making with broad perspective and rich choices. At this point we need to link the relationship between freedom and philosophical attitude. Now can anyone tell me what freedom is?" Tanong ng guro namin.

Agad namang nagsitaasan ang kamay ng mga kaklase ko.

"Okay, since Ms. Hamilton is here, I want you to answer the question." Turo sa akin ni Miss. Napa buntong hininga na lang ako. Ako na naman?

"Freedom is an regulation and self-determination, can be defined as the human capacity to act or not to act, as we choose or prefer,  without any external compulsion or restraint. Freedom in this sense is usually regarded as a presupposition of moral responsibility, the actions for which I may be praised or blamed, rewarded or punished, are just those which I perform freely. It is one of the most important features of rational being, human." Sagot ko.

Kuminang ang mata ng aming guro, tila ba natuwa sa aking sinagot.

"How about Human Freedom Ms. Hamilton?" Tanong ulit nito.

"Human freedom as a right is the inherent, essential and inalienable right of man and provides within the framework of knowledge a person possesses. Freedom can be described as a situation of behaving of people as a moral agent according to their own preferences and rational decisions. Selection is a voluntary act and takes place within the framework of knowledge of person. Making a decision is to consider the preferences and this process requires formal reasoning. Selection process is to decide taking into account to the others. This means that to put self to someone else. It is the discrimination of feelings of self and others. This is not only to think through and act on it. Whatever the outcome of the action is the person had done it his own free will. If you choose, there is also your responsibility. Responsibility is to take into account the existence of someone else and to value to someone else. So it is to understand the relationship and differences between oneself and others in decision-making process. According to Leibniz who was the German philosopher of 17 century, this conception was related with the freedom of man and it depends on the moral obligation not logical obligation. It must allow the selection of people with their own will in a variety of actions. In the same way to Kant who was the moral philosopher of 18 century the people would be aware of their freedom to create a basis for moral considerations and arrangements. Because, his freedom the basic characteristic of human being is. But it is important that people recognizing their freedom and using it. If you have more questions Miss, I appreciate it if you'd let my classmates to answer it for you. Thank you" Mahabang sagot ko, pagkatapos ay agad ng umupo.

"Very well said Ms. Hamilton. You see class,human being can not choose to be free or not. But with the education especially philosophy education he can realize his freedom and learn to use it. Parents and teachers refrain from inoculation the things to children. But it can not be expected to grow of child without being affected by opinions and evaluations around him. The important thing here is fixed values don't impose consciously to children and to present the opportunity of their own choices. Because to be free is not to be comfortable and to be extravagant is to recognize the infinite difficulties of existence and does not exist the ready prescriptions for behavior. A person who has mature or autonomous morality accepts that the rules originate from the need of interaction and cooperation among people. Reciprocity which is a golden rule or empathy is a general predictor. Actions are bad for harming to others. Punishment is to improvement, encourages people for contribution more valuable to society. In this case we can think about the increasing of mature morality is better. In this context we can emphasize the importance and necessity of moral education especially philosophy education. In general it is pointing out that moral education has four tasks: the first one of the rules of morality is to clean the remains of prejudiced views second is to provide to discriminate the convention about rules; third is to look at from a distance to current values and to estimate the values which will be emerged and the last is to train for preferences about the customs of different sub-groups." Mahabang paliwanag ng proof namin.

Umupo ito sa kanyang mesa at tiningnan kami isa-isa. Isa ang subject na ito sa mga paborito ko. Marami akong natututunan. Plus points na rin na magaling magturo ang prof.

"It is also created the basis of moral freedom with moral education. Therefore freedom as a consciousness and a conception is a value which gaining with the education especially the philosophy education. With Hare expression "real freedom is to choose to comply with enlightened mind. This situation will take place depending on the extension of philosophy education. When the philosophy education becomes more prevalent the problems of people about recognizing and using of their freedom will be reduced. However today when we look at the philosophy education in our country it is far from this desired situation. Philosophy education level is not enough or is undervalued in many educational institutions. Philosophy education can be a solution for solving these problems. For this reason, attention should be given to philosophy education in each period of training. Consequently for solutions of the problems about the individual and social freedoms and using their freedoms as a right should be given to the importance of philosophy education. It is considered that philosophy education must be start from the first stages of the education process and must be developed." Pagtatapos ng guro namin.

"Okay, that's it for today. Goodbye and have a nice day class. Saad ni Miss pagkatpos ay umalis na.

Nagsitayoan naman ang mga kaklase ko.

"Jennie ghurl, let's go. Xian, stand uo na kayo." Bungad na saad ni Tim. Paniguradong nagugutom na ito dahil nakahawak na naman siya sa kanyang t'yan.

Tumayo na rin ako ag nauna nang lumabas. Dumiretso ako sa club room, pagkabukas ko ng pinto ay nandoon na ang tatlong lalaki. Nang makapasok na kaming tatlo ay kinuha ko ang papel sa aking bulsa at inilapag ito sa mesa.

"I think we have another case to solve." Ngising saad ko.
