 What is It

Family is the basic unit of a community. It is an essential part of the

community, and for it to function properly, it must be in a good state. The family is
the first school of our life and we learn manners and customs from it. A family
resource is important to meet specific needs and wants in order to survive.
What is Resources?

Resources can be defined as anything we use to achieve what we want (our

goals) and needs (to survive). It is classified into three: human, material, and non-
material resources.

1. Human Resources

Capabilities, Intelligence, and Skills. Every person has his/her unique ability
and intelligence in a way that improves not only himself or herself but also others.
It is important to identify the talents and skills that each person has and utilize
them for the common good.

Strength/Energy. The strength of a person does not only mean having good
health and strong body. It also means having emotional stability, mental alertness,
having reasonable commitment and positive outlook in life, especially in work that
improves self and society. Strength is also needed to accomplish tasks on time in
order to play, entertain and relax with the family afterwards.

2. Material Resources

Material Resources are materials found in nature that can be used for practical
human purposes that are considered to have value. Material Resources include
wood from trees, edible plants that can be used as food, sand to make glass,
metals extracted out of rocks and chemicals from plants that can turned into
plastics.

Tangible assets such as house and lot, furniture and appliances, jewelry,
automobiles and cash are referred to as the family’s material resources.

Every family must invest wisely in material resources, making sure that they
consider quality, durability, and appreciation value when choosing what to
purchase.

Real properties and jewelry increase in value over time while the value of furniture,
appliances and automobiles depreciate or go down as they get old and worn out.

3. Nonmaterial Resources

CO_Q2_TLE (HE) 6_ Module 1

Nonmaterial are intangible resources such as health, experiences, and time.
Without nonmaterial resources, family members will be unable to perform their
duties and responsibilities at home, in school, and at work.

Family Basic Needs

1. Food. The most important need of everybody is food. It is the fuel we need to
survive. We need the energy to move around and live life. This energy comes from
food. It is also an integral part of the day to day needs of a family. In the absence of
food, survival of human being is impossible.
2. Shelter. We need house to live in and protect ourselves from heat of the
sun, storm, wind, etc. It gives us protection. For a family to survive and for its
members to live in ease, there should be a house. A family should have a decent
house with dedicated space for each member, right down to the pets. For a person
to live daily life and add value to his community, he must have access to basic
amenities that a house provides: a kitchen, toilet, bathroom, etc.

3. Clothing. Clothing is made of fabric and covers our bodies, keeps them
warm or protects them from sun, insects, thorns and other hazards. Clothing is
absolutely necessary for everybody. It protects our body from geographical location
and other factors determine the type of clothing that will be appropriate. Thus, a
family must dress accordingly to protect itself from the elements. It is very
important that every member of a family dresses appropriately for the weather and
their age.

4. Education. Education teaches us easy methods to live in various difficult

situations in life. Family and education have a very close relationship. The family
is the basis of a good education. The family is the root of everything, it is where
everything starts, even before formal education. So, education is essential to the
growth of any family.

Families must be educated and conscious to raise successful, intelligent, and

creative children. The family must create favorable and flexible environment for
growth and development. A child’s education starts at home; parents are their first
teachers and they have a key role in shaping up their character. A child’s learning
scale is highly related to how they are treated at home. So, education must be high
on the priority list of any family.

5. Social Needs. It includes things such as love, acceptance and

belongingness. The need for emotional relationship drives human behavior
(friendships, romantic attachments, family, social groups, churches and religious
organizations).
