What Is Holistic Development?
 The story of the two wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that
goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all"

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil -

he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt,
resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He
continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity,
truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you
- and inside every other person, too.
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his
grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed".
What is holistic development?
It pertains to whole person, emphasizing the
complete aspects of a person or his totality.

Dualism and holism are philosophical theories

in order to understand what it means to
perceive a person as a whole organism.

5
Mind and Body Dualism of Descartes
Rene Descartes, one of the
modern philosophers of our
time, influenced much of
mankinds thinking with his
theory of duality or
understanding the nature of
things in a simple, dual mode.
In dualism,people perceive
things as dual in character.

6
The Yin-Yang Symbol

An example of dualism is
the distinct male-female
gender categorization or
the yin and yang of eastern
thought.

Western culture overemphasizes its either-

or, black-white characteristics.

7
The Yin-Yang Symbol

There is dynamism
between two forces in
nature, and that each force
is present in each other
and will never exist in its
purest form.

8
More examples of Dualism

Good-bad
Racial purity
Life-death
Other points of view where things
are taken in their absolutes or
extremes.

 Holism and Gestalt
In 1926, General Jan C.
Smuts, a South African
statesman, military leader,
and philosopher, wrote
about holism in his book
Holism and Evolution.

10
 Holism and Gestalt
Holism - the tendency in nature to form wholes
which are greater than the sum of the parts
through creative evolution.
Gestalt something that is made of many parts
and yet is somehow more than or different from
the combination of its parts; broadly, the
general quality or character of something.

11
Examples:

Music

Car

12
In understanding
humans, it is
important to see the
person in his entirety
and not just his
parts.

Portfolio Output No. 3: Personal Assessment of Aspects
of Development with Plan of Action

Write about the 5 aspects of your development. What are the

words or phrases which represent aspects about yourself which
you like? What are the items which you consider to be
weaknesses or areas for improvement? Do some categories
have more minus than plus areas? The larger proportion of
minus to plus areas you have, the more effort will be needed to
achieve positive self-esteem. If the vast majority of your minus
responses are in one or two areas, your self-esteem is likely to
be good but has a few self-estimates which need to be
improved. Name some ways in which you can improve the
minus areas and further enhance the positive aspects.
The activity is not just about placing all
your experiences, both the
positive or negative but it is about seeing
your transitions and developments as you
go through life. You need to plan your
personal timeline carefully and be mindful
of the events that made you grow, that you
have learned important wisdom in life and
where you rise from the Challenges. In this
way, you can see you future progress and
full of hope.
 Emotion

which means to move or be upset or agitated.
It is defined by Smith (1973) as a descriptive
term referring to variations in level of arousal,
affective state or mood, expressive
movements, and attitudes (Sanchez, Abad,
and Jao 2012).
