UNIVERSAL HUMAN VALUES 1: SELF AND FAMILY

1.2. COURSE CODE: IH.H101.14
1.3. CONTACT HRS: 1‐2‐0
1.4. CREDITS: 5
1.5. SEMESTER OFFERED: Odd
1.6. PRE‐REQUISITES: 4‐day Harmony – 1 Workshop (co‐requisite)
2. OBJECTIVE
The objective of the course is four fold:
1. Sensitization of student towards issues in all dimensions of life.
2. Inculcation of self reflection.
3. Understanding (clarity) of relationships, and family.
4. Exposure to issues in society and environment.
5. Development of commitment and courage to act.
2.1. Sensitization of student towards issues in all dimensions of life
There are a whole range of issues which one faces in life towards which the young students
are generally unfamiliar and therefore insensitive. Almost all the concerns ‐ environmental,
societal, familial or personal, are result of human action. Sensitization towards them
therefore is an important step.
2.2. Inculcation of Self Reflection
Human action is governed by various internal factors primarily the beliefs one holds, and
therefore ‘looking‐in’ becomes essential, to see what beliefs one is holding, whether they are
really true or not, if they are not true, then what could be the process to get the "right" belief
and then further validate it.
Most of the young people are somehow trained to look only “outside”. The motivation and
the skill to look inside are missing. Inculcation of self reflection in students will result in them
becoming more responsible, honest and trustworthy. Lack of such qualities in individuals is
major concern of organizations, institutions and society in general.
2.3. Understanding (Clarity) of Human Relationships and Family.
It will try to show that relationships and material prosperity are the basic desire for a human
being. Two global problems which we face today are war (including terrorism) and imbalance
Syllabus Booklet of B.Pharm. Programme, Department of Pharmaceutics, IIT (BHU), Varanasi. Page 15
in nature (global warming). If we look at reasons for war, the fundamental cause is: Human
Being is in opposition to other Human Being. Therefore one is willing (or gets compelled) to
exploit others. This is due to lack of understanding of relationships.
2.4 Exposure to Issues in Society and nature (larger manmade systems and Nature)
To show that the fundamental reasons for imbalance in nature are: pollution and resource
depletion. Both these aspects are result of consumerist model of development.
To show how harmony can be ensured at following levels of our living: individual, human‐
human relationships, larger society, Various social systems like education system, economic
system, political system and others, and rest of the nature.
2.5. Development of Commitment and Courage to Act.
If the understanding is right, then the actions become right. Commitment and courage to act
are considered consequences of right understanding in an individual. In the course, an
attempt will be made to build right understanding in the individual, and then further plan of
actions will also be discussed in order to implement the understanding in various life
situations in the right manner.

5. OUTCOME OF THE COURSE
At the end of the course, students are expected to become more aware of their surroundings,
society, social problems and their sustainable solutions, while keeping human relationships
and human nature in mind. They would have better critical ability. They would also become
sensitive to their commitment towards what they believe in (humane values. humane
relationships and humane society). It is hoped that they would be able to apply what they
have learnt to their own self in different day‐to‐day settings in real life, at least a beginning
would be made in this direction.
