IV. Lines of Approach and Action: (20 points)

1.JPIC-VLOG #140: Our Low Cost Housing Insights /Reflection (minimum of 5 sentences and
maximum of 10 sentences)

Just like the apostles is on the lookout for

occasions of announcing Christ by word,
either to unbelievers to draw them towards
the faith, or to the faithful to instruct them,
strengthen them, incite them to a more
fervent life. It shows that they aim to give a
comfortable life to the people. A shelter is
one of human’s basic needs. It is their
physical safe haven, and the spiritual is God.
2. Understanding Laudato Si’(video clip) The video focused on how politicians use
their power to build business they wish to
have. And these businesses are one of the
reasons why our earth is not in its very good
condition. I also liked how the speaker
pointed out on choosing the right leaders to
guide us through a life that protects our
common home. We are so blinded by
money, not realizing that money will not
buy us another EARTH to live on.
V. Essay:10+15=35 Points

1. Explain what is Integral Ecology in your own understanding. (min=5 sentences and max =10
sentences)

What I understand about Integral Ecology is that everything is connected. So we need to be

cautious of what we do, we need to be cautious of our decisions. We need to be cautious of the things
that we want to happen in the future. People are at speed, especially in innovating new things and that
these new things could possibly destroy our ecology and might take away our attention from protecting
it. Integral Ecology is about understanding how things are connected and how one aspect could affect all
other aspects.

2.Explain stewardship of God’s creation in the context of being created by God, A Catholic/Christian
and a Holynamian.
