Man & Woman for Others
- Fr. Pedro Arrupe, 1973
It is this "indifference," in the sense of lack of differentiation, this not being tied down to anything except God's will that gives (to the Society and) to the men and women it has been privileged to educate what we may call their multi-faceted potential, their readiness for anything, any service that may be demanded of them by the signs of the times.

Poverty & Marginalization
People tend to experience poverty because of a weak set of assets and a big threat due to vulnerabilities
Poverty is more than a lack of income. Poverty is a deprivation of and lack of access to essential assetsIn the Philippines, vulnerabilities exacerbate poverty because it deprives people of access to essential assets. It also weakens/decreases the assets of the people
Poverty & Marginalization
Marginalization happens when individuals cannot fully or even partially participate in various economic and social opportunities that could help themPoverty leads to marginalization and marginalization leads to greater poverty
Social Structures &
Processes
It cushions and protects the people from the impact of vulnerabilities, decreasing the chance of further poverty and marginalization
It also provides access to essential assets such as education, health and finances
Ideal structures and processes should lead people out of poverty and marginalization

2. Social Developmentto break the intergenerational poverty cycle through investments in human capita
BUT…
Dehumanization of ourselves and dehumanization of others. For by thus making egoism a way of life, we
translate it, we objectify it, in social structures.
Starting from our individual sins of egoism, we become exploiters of others, dehumanizing them and ourselves in the process, and hardening the process
into a structure of society which may rightfully be called sin objectified.
- Fr. Pedro Arrupe (1973) -
Is there Hope?
“How [do weescape from this vicious circle? Clearly, the whole process has its root in egoism – in the
denial of love. But to try to live in love and justice in a world whose
prevailing climate is egoism and injustice, where egoism and injustice are built into the very structures of society – is this not a suicidal, or at least a fruitless
undertaking?”
- Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ -
Synthesis
What needs of the world or society have I identified based on my JEEP experience?
How am I invited to respond to this need?
What would be the possible outcomes of this response?
What do you think would happen if we don’t answer the call to this invitation?
The Challenge
Who are we as humans and as social beings?Who are we in relation to social institutions?Who are we as Ateneans?
Synthesis: What is to be
done?
To be just, it is not enough to refrain from injustice. One must go further and refuse to play its game, substituting love for self-interest as the driving force of society
Live more simply
No unjust profits
Change unjust structures
Posts of power
‘For in the last analysis, it is the oppressed who must be the principal
agents of change. The role of the privileged is to assist them; to reinforce with pressure from above the pressure exerted from below on the structures
that need to be changed.’
-Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ -
