CIVIC VALUES

WELCOME TO YEAR 5!!!!

VALUES

 Some definitions of values in civic education:

 1. Values are the ideas, things or principles wanted by people in a society. 

2. Values are precepts, moral principles, ideas, and beliefs that

 people hold with love, e.g. honesty, , justice, tolerance, fair play, etc. 

3. Values are standard criteria that determine how the people of

 a society, nation or state think and relate with one another.

TYPES OF VALUES

Positive Values: This has everything to do with those qualities that are good for oneself and the society in general. Examples of positive values are honesty, integrity, perseverance, hard work,  discipline, patience, respect, etc.

 Negative Values: They are qualities that are not good for oneself and the society at large. A person with negative values will only end up destroying his/her life. Negative values are bad and worthless qualities that can only bring about one’s destruction. 

 IMPORTANCE OF VALUES

 1. Values help to determine and control the behavior of individuals in the society.

2. They give focus and direction to individuals in the family and society.

 3. They help us in decision-making.

 4. They modify our attitudes and feelings toward other people

 through tolerance of different opinions and behavior.

 5. Values act as standards of conduct for people in a society 

 

6. They promote unity, harmony and cooperation in the society. 

7. They encourage sense of responsibility and hard work.

8. They help youths to resist negative peer pressure in the society. 

9. Values help us to develop respect for other people’s ways of life e.g. different ethnic and religious groups and so on.

 

10. They encourage tolerance and friendship among people in the society. 

11. Values lead to actions which promote happiness and contentment in society.

What are Civic Values?

 For example, helping an elderly person cross the street or voting for a candidate that can help society progress are ways in which people act on their civic values.

Types of Civic Values

There are many types of civic values, all meant to help society grow. Service,

 responsibility for oneself and  respect are just some examples of

 how people can perform daily acts which affect their community and those around

 them. The following sections explore the ways in which individual acts can help

 strengthen one's community.

Service

Providing service occurs when someone helps to do something for someone else.

 One can provide service to a family member, neighbor, or even a stranger. The

 purpose of service is to help those who may not be able to do something by

 themself. Some examples of service include:

• Bringing food to an injured neighbor
• Volunteering at a soup kitchen
• Helping an elderly person cross the street
• Picking up trash at a beach
• Offering to watch a child so their parents can go to work
• Organizing a coat drive to provide clothing in the cold, winter months
• Donating books to a school

Providing a service is often tied to volunteering or charity work, and offers ways for all citizens to play an active role in bettering their community

In the civic education of the new generations it is essential to promote values that allow them to be exemplary citizens.

 Here are ten values that we must promote in children for them to apply in their daily lives and in society: 

Respect: Learning to respect others, their ideas and their rights is essential for harmonious coexistence. 

Tolerance: Fostering tolerance towards cultural, religious and opinion differences contributes to a more inclusive society. 

Honesty: Honesty is the foundation of trust and integrity. 

Responsibility: Teaching children to take responsibility from an early age helps them become committed citizens.
 
Kindness: Small gestures of kindness can make a difference in the lives of others. 

Gratitude: Teaching children to be grateful promotes a positive attitude toward life. 

Humility: Humility allows them to recognize that everyone has a lot to learn from the rest. 

Solidarity: Solidarity strengthens community by fostering mutual aid. 

Autonomy: Promoting autonomy gives children the confidence to make responsible decisions. 

Confidence: Inculcating self-confidence allows them to face challenges with determination. 

Respect yourself

Everyone has good qualities and bad qualities and we all have some things we are good at and others that are harder for us.

Sometimes I get things wrong but most of the time, as long as I work hard, everything turns out just fine. And I know that  the harder I try, the better I'll do.

Remember, you should never let anyone tell you that you can't do anything right, because it's simple not true. We can all do many things well.

We all make mistakes. What's important is how we learn from them. This helps me respect myself, and when i respect myself, other people respect me, too.

• Can you remember a day when you made a mistake? What did you do? How did you solve the problem?

• Write three things you are good at.

Respect others

Never tell people they can't do anything right, because firstly, it hurts their feelings, and secondly, your behaviour towards others determines their behaviour towards you.

You should always look for a person's good points. So, if a classmate makes a mistake, be kind instead of saying something negative, help him or her do better.

People who think they are better than others don't have a lot of friends, because no one likes to feel inferior. If you don't value others, they might not value you. But if you appreciate others and treat them nicely , they will treat you nicely, too.

Treating yourself and others well will make you feel good.

So remember: the first secret is to respect yorself, and the second, to respect others.

• What are the two main reasons why we should be nice to others?

• Write three nice things you  could say to your classmates to encourage them.

HOW DO I FEEL?

Emotions: Basic emotions 

               Secondary emotions

Basic emotions: enjoy, sadness, fear, disgust and surprise.

We experience these emotions from birth and it is easy to recognize them.

Secondary emotions: embarrassment, relief, concern or pleasure.

We develop these emotions over time depending on our education.

Worry is an emotion that causes concern in the person who experiences it.

• Which emotions are related to friendship?:

• Can friendship change our mind?

ART 🎨HOW TO MAKE A ROMAN MOSAIC

As we are studying the Romans, I thought it would be  a good idea to make a mosaic for the Art lesson.

What are Mosaics?

Mosaics are pictures made of pieces of stone and glass and were used to decorate some ancient Roman homes and community buildings. 

Large mosaics were used to decorate floors and walls in community buildings as well as in the houses of rich, important Romans.

Here is a video about it.
