Enrolment options
As with VE 1, VE 2 concerns young persons as bearers of values. With a growing desire to build their lives in an expanding world, the students develop, through this course, self-deliberation for rendering judgments and decisions on novel, complex, or consequential matters. The meaning or purpose in life is presented not as a choice to be made on the outset, but as an outcome of a process of search and discernment. The values emphasized in this course are: setting one’s life directions from keen observations and memories of events and circumstances; pursuing the good with a methodical approach, a sense of rightness, and a self-disciplined will; and seeking and protecting one’s well-being and wholeness.
Course Objectives
During and at the end of this course, the students are expected to:
1. know the contemporary milieu in which one’s present and future life is situated and assess how the milieu thwarts or promotes one’s dreams and goals;
2. think about and discuss alternative directions in life and the viable approaches to pursuing these directions;
3. discern which personal goals are worth working for and why and be skilled in working out challenges and setbacks in the pursuit of goals;
4. to advocate for one’s mental health and well-being and to build balance and wholeness for the rigors and challenges to come.
