TumugonBurahin1. “If you are always trying to be normal you never know how amazing you can” This logo is symbolized our weaknesses and strength during when we are listening the kokology. For knowing my personality strength and weaknesses can help me a lot in choosing the right career or making good decision because I have able to focus what I do around my personality strength and I have a chance to create something, remarkable while making it look like its most effortless for me. “Every weak moment is the opportunity to come back become stronger”.
2. According to PAUL RICOEUR “Human consciousness only becomes real by being immersed in the world. Thus, it is incarnate being and acts in a relation to the possibilities the world presents. In addition, they said that the man is not an isolated subject, but speaking subject who dwells in the world”
• This means the man is a being in the world we are consciousness being struggle through life because there may be seem between human consciousness and the in the incarnate. We must always involve in our life. Our character and our decision eventually form our action. Man capacity to and realize and understand being responsible in the world into his action that should be responsible for them. Man is not conscious but his conscious about the world and he always presents herself to change or to reform.
According to EMMANEL LEVINA’S “caught up into dangerous from the ego-centricity and neglects the other. Then for levinas there are two option of human being the Reject the other or the Make very being infinitely present to others.
• In our daily routines there are the different chances in our life. And in our environment also involve in the world and the different types of people such as Poor and the Rich. The rich people do not really see those poor people out there. Being live in the world man become dwells in the center of the world and determined whatever should be The reality of poor being live in the world is the disturbance.
3. The Theme in the movie I think are the elements of “Forgiveness, Self-Sacrifice and the courage” The forgiveness was at the beginning when Valijean is stayed with the bishop. And the Self Sacrifice is when Marius and Cossete marry and for a while he seems at the right with the fact and later he goes to marius and confess to his past, and tell the whole story then he thinks never see cossete again. The lastly is the courage that will be the emotional and physical through loving and compassion are the most important gifts for the person can give another and that displaying the qualities should be the most important goal in life.
1. “The reason why people changing with attitude and their normal manner”. The process where our mind thinks will reflect of what we are or what personality we have. But the some weakness that people may have is when we experience difficulties in life that make us frustrated to do and the results is to affect the action that we show example; As a soft-hearted, When financial problem comes, I always thinking how can I solve it and I look always frustrated and that is not my normal attitude because I’m always smile to my friends and classmates. The human strength is I’ll train myself to expose different kind of problem and next will easily for me get up in coming difficulties in life.
TumugonBurahin2. The conversation of Ricoeur and another for Levinas;
Ricoeur: An Abstract way is howl learning show because it shows competitive for others. Only mind will do how to express the knowledge and where the critical thinking takes place because human have their own way to interpret things and situation. When people do their interpretation they’re do also judgment, insights, reflection and that is the abstract way.
Levinas: With demonstration we as ah human, we demonstrate what we want to express and some terms included like; communication skills will be enhance also, we use our all senses and do application by demonstrating ideas.
The theme describe the content of the discourse is Ricoeur idea is as human we do abstract way to express our learning while, Levinas we express our learning by demonstrating what we want to express.
3. I think the whole insight of this movie is by doing decision; it will cause to change life forever. The moral theme is Jean Valjean is about to right the mistakes what he did in the past. Jean Valjean, he decides to change his life from miserable to being free but other people expect that he will never change of that position, he just a criminal in the Jail but Jean Valjean changed the expectation about him and his life will change forever. The ideas here is people have the opportunities to change what bad experiences they have and it depends on the people how to survive on it.
TumugonBurahin1. My logo are heart and Cross, “Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.” This logo symbolized our strength and weakness during our kokology , I’ve learned that when I hurt someone may heart will consume to much pain specially may family and friends. This can help me to build my personality to be a better person. God is my strength because He is good to me all the time all.
2. According to Paul Ricoeur,” Being a neighbor lies in the habit of making one-self available”. This mean that our action as a social being lives with our neighbor and for the other as a human being.
Emmanuel Levinas” Totalization of the human being is tyranny. In tyranny the despotic I subjugates others without killing them” this means that our ego ego dictates how other to live because they are poor under the domination to control our mind.
3. The theme of Les Miserables are love and compassion, Hugo asserts that love and compassion are the most important gifts one person can give another and that always displaying these qualities should be the most important goal in life. Valjean’s transformation from a hate-filled and hardened criminal into a well-respected, for it is only by learning to love others that Valjean is able to improve himself. Valjean’s love for others—in particular, for Cosette—is what keeps him going in desperate times.
1. By having the idea about the Kokology, The logo that I’ve chose for the human weaknesses is the Battery-Because just like the battery, when a person is fully charged or have the right strength, this person can do the things he/she is required to accomplish. But, when the battery have not enough energy, the person will become weak and may not be able to become easy the work that is needed to finish.
TumugonBurahinAnd for human strength, I chose the logo of torch. Because, a torch serves as a guide and light when a person can’t see the path they will go through. Just like our faith in God, when we feel that we are about to give up, when we trust in him, he will guide us and fill our body with strength and positivity in life.
2. The content of this discourse is how every person reacts to their surroundings.
Dialogue
For Ricoeur: “We are what we do.” our actions tells what a kind of person we are and also a person must know his decisions and when a person is aware to their actions, this person really exist.
For Levinas: According to your insights (Ricoeur), for me there is a different ways on how a human being expresses themselves to other people. Some of them didn’t pay attention on the situation of his environment and only focuses on their selves.
3. For me, the moral theme of Les Miserables is that they want to express that there are different hindrances in every human being. But, it is on how they handle their situation it’s either they will just give up or will be determine to every challenges that they might face. Just like what Jean Valjean did to Cossette, he save Cossette from the person who maltreated her. After all the trials in life that he faces, Jean Valjean transforms his lives to become better and starts to care for other person.
1.) The umbrella represents our hidden self or the things that we don’t know of ourself(still) that’s why it is hiding a region in the brain, it represents the things that are already there but are hidden into our consciousness. Second the shaded faces of a man represents, our other personalities that which are: the person we show to the world (that’s why it is flesh colored and in the front, it is also shaded by the umbrella) the person we show to our family(the black shaded face) and the person we don’t want others to see(hidden shadow on the back).
TumugonBurahinAnd last, the line “temet nosce”, this is the aim of kokology for us incarnate beings to know ourselves.
2.) Ricoeur: if you were born in a state of coma and die still (in a coma) do you think you actually live.
Levinas: yes and no, your incarnate being is present, it’s just your consciousness is absent, No, because by not expressing yourself to others, you don’t actually live… you don’t exist.
According to Ricoeur, we live by being immersed to the world, which means if we don’t experience the world that we’re living… we don’t actually live.
Levinas’ respond is both, by not able to express ourself to others by means of communication, we don’t actually live.
3.) The others: the willingness to be something.
Let, people = the others
This shows how the neglected people strive to be someone else or to uplift their level in the society, either doing it the wrong or the right way.
In the song “Look down” the people sings “Look down and see the beggars at your feet, look down and show some mercy if you can, this tells something about the willingness of the people to command others, even though they think they are nothing in the society, they still have the piece of self that somehow commands the “rich” people to look down upon them. Some people look on their state as dominant, because they know hardship and they have courage to face it, take for example the line of Gavroche in the song “Look down”, “ This is my school my high society, here in the slums of Saint Michele, We live on Grumbs of Humble Piety, Tough on the teeth but what the hell!”
The people strives to be uplifted in the society or to be something, the best example here is Jean Valjean, although he is one of the others when he Is still in prison, his life eventually changed after he was bought for god by the Priest, in the liner “ I have bought your soul for God”, Valjean realizes that he should spend the money on good things.
Lastly, the thernardiers’ uplift their being by stealing something from the people, we can’t say that they’re part of the others but they’re still neglected even though they have some properties. In the song “Dog eat’s Dog” “It's a world where the dog eats dog
And they kill for the bones in the street.” In tagalog “ Talo-Talo na!” for them to gain richness and gold, they steal something from the chaos that the revolutionaire did, A quote from Petyr Baelish from game of thrones “ Chaos isn’t a pit, Chaos is a Ladder” the place where the Others live is in Chaos but the thernadiers Manage to Climb up to that chaos, that shows how the Others, despite being the Others they still strive to be something… to be someone.

1) My logo is yin and yang, because every human are change because of their emotion. Often a strength can be a weakness, and vice versa, a weakness can be strength. STRENGTH represent to WHITE and WEAKNESSES is BLACK. Knowing our personal strengths and weaknesses can help us a lot in choosing the right career or making good decisions. Because if we are able to focus what we do around to our personal strengths, we have a chance to create something remarkable, while making it look like it’s almost effortless.
TumugonBurahin2) According to Paul Ricoeur the phenomenon of the will is like a an isolated ego. Means the criterion of an apodictic truth is broken with the emergence of the self as a conscious will. This is a will that speaks of a lived experience. While Levinas the philosophy of the other is like an ethics. Means to most of us who are immersed in our daily routines, there is a refusal to see the other, for the other is an outsider.
3) Everything you do has effect on someone, some impact. Javert is changed because of jean valjean. He is changed because the true emotion of jean valjean. He changed because he encountered the same problem.
1. Imagine that you're walking along the streets that you dont know where youll go but you need to walk to finish your journey. you were tired because its a long way for you and you dont even have the food to eat or a water to drink. you were actually hopeless because you think its an endless road. then you see your family. they were sad because they missed you. when you saw them you almost fell because youve missed them too. you can't take what you just saw but then you realize that you need to finish the road to finally see your family for you all to be happy. and to be together again.
TumugonBurahinFamily - tells that it is the weakness and strenght of a person. the reactions when you see your family, you get weak but at the same time its encourage you to finish the journey.
2. there were two philosophers having conservation:
Ricoeur: you know what Levinas?
Levinas: What it is?
Ricoeur: being human is being in the world. as they said human has a will, therefore every action of human reflects who he is. how he reacts on the world is on how he see the world.
Levinas: well, I think youre right Ricoeur. but for me there are two options of being a human; either you reject other or make your very being infinitely present to other. the person's ego oftenly see the object not the face of the other. it is that a self-sufficient thinks which ignores the other's individuality.
3. in Les Miserables, the character of Juvert is that he judged Jean Valjean. because at first Valjean commited a crime and when he had his parole and never came back. Javert still looking for him because for Javert once a person commited a sin/crime they will be used to it. for him, people will never change.
1. This logo shows equality in human life, our human weaknesses, the struggles that we've been through, It symbolizes our strength in times of disasters, earthquakes, floods and in social and political aspects of life. It shows how a true filipino work as team. The tire represents the life of human being, the ups and downs of an individual. Once we get on top, we never know how long we will stay there. If you're down now in life, wait for that moment of "someday" you'll be on top of everybody else.
TumugonBurahinConversation of Ricoeur and Levinas.
2. Paul Ricoeur,” Being a neighbor lies in the habit of making one-self available”. This means that we are not living just for ourselves but also for our neighbors. Being independent isn't right because we live for the other.
Emmanuel Levinas: Our humanity implies an infinite moral obligation to the other. It is because we need to love the other. We are living for the other. You can live without the other but you will not truly appreciate the true meaning of happiness. We have an obligation to the other.
3. I havent seen the movie. :(

1.My created logo was a bottled water, the bottle represents as the storage of temper. And the water represents as a person’s Temper. And a person’s temper is considered as human condition. If the water inside the bottle suddenly drain after some difficulties and trials a person may face it means that s/he might do something Negative. So if you are a smart person you know how to control your temper. But let us just accept the fact that There will always be a person whose temper is so short and they can’t even to handle the effect of their being short tempered person.
2.Ricoeur and Levinas conversation about Human imperfection.
Levinas: What can you say about this human condition?
Ricoeur: My realization for that is, It is really true that a persons condition is not consistent, something may change and sometimes affect a persons feelings that may lead them to do some things such as Suicide nor a personal shutdown. Therefore, I conclude that We as smart philosophers must help and understand those persons who has more weaknesses and imperfections.
3.Marius and cossete (The scene where the war begins and they don’t have each other)
As long as you don’t have someone by your side during the hardest times of your life, make sure to still carry yourself. Those persons you need is just your friends for keeps but were not sure how longer they will lasts. So as early as can be start practicing being independent.

1. In terms of kokology. The logo I have chosen is a tree sapling. for me it symbolizes the persistency of a human. Even though there soils,
rocks, or stone trying to swallow them they still manage to make way to overcome those struggles that trying to stop him from going up.This
shows the persistency of a certain in his life.
2. Ricoeur : "HUman consciousness only becomes real by being immersed in the world."
"Man is a being in the world."
Levinas : "What am I if I have done nothing for my brothers."
For Ricouer : As long as you are not connected nor involved in the world your existence will not be recognized.
fro levinas : As long as you act you selfishly to youself you are nothing because you have not done anything to others.
3. "If you commit mistakes, you can still be accepted by correcting it."
It's when javert tries to capture jean valjean. javert pretends to be one of the people in a group of students just to
captures jean valjean and when the time comes that javert was caught pretending.
he was kicked out and threatened to be killed but he and jean valjean saw each other. Jean Valjean told him to go away.
Even though Jean Valjean has commited a crime. He was still accepted by other people. by correcting and acknowledging his
mistake by giving work to the poor people and taking care of the daughter of Fantine.
