Activity 1

1. Ethics - a system of moral principles. They affect how people make decisions and lead
their lives.

2. Morality - can be a body of standards or principles derived from a code of conduct from
a particular philosophy, religion or culture, or it can derive from a standard that a person
believes should be universal. Morality may also be specifically synonymous with
"goodness" or "rightness".

3. Aesthetic - is being interested in how something looks and feels. An example of


someone who is aesthetic might be an artist. Aesthetic means the pleasant, positive or
artful appearance of a person or a thing.

4. Etiquette - refers to conventional forms and usages: the rules of etiquette. Decorum

5. Technique - refers to conventional forms and usages: the rules of etiquette. Decorum
suggests dignity and a sense of what is becoming or appropriate for a person of good

6. Descriptive Ethics - also known as comparative ethics is the study of people's beliefs
about morality. It contrasts with prescriptive or normative ethics, which is the study of
ethical theories that prescribe how people ought to act, and with meta-ethics, which is the
study of what ethical terms and theories actually refer to. 

7. Normative Ethics - It is concerned with the articulation and the justification of the
fundamental principles that govern the issues of how we should live and what we morally
ought to do.

8. Positive Law - The theory of natural law believes that our civil laws should be based
on morality, ethics, and what is inherently correct. This is in contrast to what is called
"positive law" or "man-made law," which is defined by statute and common law and may
or may not reflect the natural law.

9. Divine Command Theory - is the view that morality is somehow dependent


upon God, and that moral obligation consists in obedience to God’s commands. Divine
Command Theory includes the claim that morality is ultimately based on the commands
or character of God, and that the morally right action is the one that God commands or
requires.

10. Cultural Relativism - is the idea that a person's beliefs, values, and practices should be
understood based on that person's own culture, rather than be judged against the criteria of
another.

11. Subjectivism is the doctrine that "our own mental activity is the only unquestionable fact
of our experience", instead of shared or communal, and that there is no external or objective
truth.
12. Psychological Egoism - Psychological egoism is the thesis that we are always deep
down motivated by what we perceive to be in our own self-interest.

13. Ethical Egoism - is the view that people ought to pursue their own self-interest, and
no one has any obligation to promote anyone else's interests. It is thus a normative or
prescriptive theory: it is concerned with how people ought to behave.

Activity 2

1. An obligation is a course of action that someone is required to take, whether legal or moral.
Obligations are constraints; they limit freedom. People who are under obligations may
choose to freely act under obligations. I think obligation is ethical in nature because
everyone has their obligation to fulfill.

Prohibition is the act or practice of forbidding something by law . This is understandable that
prohibition is also ethical in nature because it is implemented by law. Laws are made not to harm
people it is created to protect people.

Ideals we are encouraged to meet. It is ethical in nature as long as the ideas that where
encouraging is based on ethical standards.

2. We have an old saying that “you are what you wear”. Yes it makes sense for clothes to
become a subject in a discussion of ethics for many reasons. We are not wearing uniform
for nothing. Schools teaching student to be more presentable to anyone inside the school or
outside by wearing the school uniform. Tattoos or piercing I think it depends the person
looking at it

3. Ethical issue: Liza Soberano vows to take action vs Converge employee


over rape threat
Rape is severely unethical and threatening someone is also unethical. Everyone has their
own freedom of expression and threatening is not one of those. This must issue must not
set be aside threatening and joking about rape is very unethical many people suffer and die
because of rape.

4. Hospitable is one of the best values of a Filipino . We can entertain any visitors in our house
and we are very good at it. The only downside of this values is some visitor might abuse the
hospitality that we are giving

5. Be respectful of classmates, teachers, and property. That’s the rules that I want to
implement inside the school

Follow the authority and take a good care of all government property increase the penalties
to those who will break this ordinance. That will be implemented in the city level

Remove good conduct time allowance for heinous crime.


6. “What I believe must be true if I feel very strongly about it.”
I must see it first or understand it first before I believe.

7. Yes it is part of egoism because you are putting yourself in charge to your family. You must
understand that each of you family has their own ways and approach to their life
