totality,wholeness or "complete
life",relies on our social
relations.Aristotle said that friends
are two bodies with one soul.Mutual
sharings,acceptance,and sincerity
that Carol encourage are skin with
the outlooks of Karol Wojtyla's/We-
You/I-You and Martin Buber's I-Thou
relations.

For Buber,the human person

attains fulfillment in the realm
of interpersonal,in meeting the
other,through a genuine dialog.

participation,we share
humanness of others.

Aristotle,Buber,and Wojtyla
stress that the concreteness of
our experiences and existence is
directly linked to our experience
from others.Thus,if one has
meaningful relationships,aside
from enjoying one's
blessings,then,as Aristotle

 A. Medieval Ages (500-1500 CE)

Some historians say that Middle Ages began

in AD 476 when the barbarian Odoacer
overthrew Emperor Romulus Augustulus.

The early Medieval Period is sometimes
referred to as the Dark Ages (Solomon &

A. Medieval Ages (500-1500 CE)

 For the Romans the State is more important than the
individual. From the barbarians ideal of personal rights
grew their respect for women, their "government by the
people", and their crude but representative law courts
where kings and chiefs where elected by tribal council.

In the reign of Clovis, Christianity began to lift Europe

from the Dark Ages.

The way of in the Middle Ages is called feudalism, which

comes from Latin feudum, meaning property or
"possession".

With the growth of commerce
and towns, feudalism as a
system of government began to
pass.
In the 14th and 15th
centuries, leadership in art
and literature returned to
Western Europe.

Roman Catholic Church.
Many historians say that
its spirit and its work
comprised the "great
civilizing influence of the
Middle Ages". By the 13th
century, the church was
the strongest single
influence in Europe.
Everyone except the
Arabs, Jews, and the
people in the Byzantine
Empire belonged to the
Church and felt its
authority (Ramos 2010).
The Middle Ages employed pedagogical methods that caused the
intercommunication between the various intellectual centers
and the unity of scientific language.

To quote St. Aslem: I do not seek insight of

reason in order to believe. I believe in order
to gain insight. Indeed, I also believe this;
that I should never be able to attain insight
if I did not believe.

Nature of the existence of God is different in principle from

the nature of all other existence, such as that of the island
or of the hundred tales. We cannot make exact analogies
between God and any other phenomenon for to exist actually
belongs to the essence of God (Johnston 2006).

 The introduction of new
inventions in science eventually
led to the industrial revolution
in the eighteenth century, and
since then, Western society has
taken off on a journey through
the endless world of science to
bring society into the developed
conditions that can be seen today.
In the last decades of
eighteenth century, industry
came to mean a collective work
for our manufacturing and
productive institutions, and
for their general activities, in
the 1830s, this was called
industrialism.

Imdustrial revolution came

gradually in a short span of time.
It grew more powerful each year
due to new inventions and
manufacturing processes that
added to the efficiency of the
machines. (Germain 2000)
 Significant changes that
brought about the industrial
revolution were (Germain
2000):

>The invention of machines in lieu of doing the work

of hand tools.
The use of stem, and other kinds of power vis-a-vis the
muscles of human beings and of animals; and

The embracing of factory system

As technology advanced, more and
more automatic machines were
invented to handle the jobs with
little supervision by human
beings. Changes have been so
sweeping that some observers of
the contemporary scene now
proclaim the advent of a new kind
of society in which the production
of material goods through the
expenditure of mechanical energy
no longer serves as the basis for
the technological system.
Instead, they see the
central functions required
for human existence or
amenities audited and
controlled by information
transmitted by energy in its
electronic form. The
importance of media
communication in such a
society is paramount, and
the computer as a tireless
process of energy is a vital
link.
 Everywhere, the computer is assuming an increasingly central place in
scientific research and data processing is becoming more important.
Messages and data can travel in a big office through thenuse of local and
wide area network. The emergence of notebook and portable computers
enables business and learning in an airplane or anywhere. The
supercomputers, or those who perform at or near the current highest
operational rate for computers, are usually used for scientific and
engineering applications that must handle very large databases or do a
great amount of computation (or both).

As technology is exploited, it becomes easier for

those already wealthy to maintain their
advantage. In contrast, those who lack in
advantage may be less successful in shaping a new
global landscape more favorable to their purpose.
Technology most certainly leads to globalization
butbin the emerging global society, economy, and
culture, does not encompass all equally (Ramos
2003).
