ABSTRACT

Title: Effect of Morality of Religion in the Behavior of Grade 8 Students of MMHS

Researcher: Amir Abdullah A. Novilla

Strand: Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS)

In moral theology, also called Christian ethics, Christian theological discipline

deals with recognizing and issuing principles that determine the quality of human behavior in the
light of Christian revelation. A Christian community varies in different places, regions, and
traditions that confirm where Christianity is claimed. It is thus seen as a negative complement to
ascetical and mystical theology, which both presupposes a more positive orientation of the
individual to God. The significance of the relation of moral teaching to divine revelation lies in
the problem of determining the nature of the particular “highest good” that characterizes
any ethical system.

This study aims to determine the effect of morality of catholic religion in the behavior of
grade 8 students of MMHS.

This study was conducted to determine the behavior of grade 8 students of MMHS. It was
conducted at Makabulos Memorial High School. In this study, there are some guys who do pretty
well. Women, on the other hand, are aware of morality and at least have a positive attitude
toward school, family, and friends.

The result is there are some guys who do pretty well. Women, on the other hand, are
aware of morality and at least have a positive attitude toward school, family, and friends.
