Thank you! Let's have a lively sharing of ideas without necessarily hurting those who may have different ideas from us.
To recall, Francis Cual raised the point that "a value (like respect) must be caught, because necessarily a value must come from experience. It is only when you have an experience of, say, "being respected," that you learn (caught) the value of respect. Yet, Peter Paul Tumlad, on the other hand, quickly pointed out that "a value is taught, not caught." Basic values in life are taught by our parents or other members of the family who, in a way, help instill these values in us. In the end, we came to a consensus that "a value is both caught and taught."
However, after a minute of silence, another student insisted that values are taught, not caught. At this instance, the dispute sparked anew. I knew at that moment each of you still had point/s to share. Because of limited time, I decided to stop the intensity of your want to share. Now, share your thoughts here. This platform is not time-bound. Keep in touch.
