Directions: State a scenario in your life wherein the following are manifested,
then distinguish the possible ethical or unethical outcomes that would happen in
your given situations.

1. Ethical communication at home

3. Freedom of expression at home

1. Ethical communication at home

It is important to know your boundaries as your parent’s child. As a Filipino,

and a person who is caring and respectful. I obtained my rights and boundaries
at home. Whenever my parents and I are having a conversation, I always watch
the words I say, I am very cautious of the tone of my voice and the words that
will come out of my mouth. I show my respect to them through answering in the
most polite way. When ask about something, I will answer honestly. And when I
am ask to do something, I will do it right away.

Ethical outcome: My parents, siblings and I established a good relationship

because we all know our rights and boundaries in our family. It is a good thing
because if you established a good relationship with your family, you will have
a good foundation of relationship with third persons. Family is the first teacher
to teach you the things you should learn.

2. Unethical communication at home

Even though we have established a good relationship, it cannot be denied

that there is nod perfect family. My family goes through ups and downs,
including problems and fights. My family and I still often miscommunicate and
misunderstood each other, because we are all busy doing our own businessess,
we are unable to communicate properly. An example of which is when I am so
frustrated with my school works and there my mother spoke to me, in which I
answered sarcastically, she was mad and didn’t talk to me the whole night.

Unethical outcome: Misunderstandings lead to silent fights, which always

happened when my mother and I misunderstood each other. This is an
unethical outcome for it is something that is not ideal in maintaining good
relationships. Silent fights are often dangerous because both sides are not
being able to express what they feel, thus leading them to think more
negatively.

3. Freedom of expression at home

Every member of the family should be able to express their ideas, opinions
and feelings. This principle is an essential key in establishing a good
relationship among the members of the family, and this has been our principle at
home. My parents are open to judgements, criticisms and ideas from us, they
listen to whatever we say as long as it is just and right. We are allowed to
expressed ourselves at home, may it be our beliefs and preferences because
they believe that every person has their own personality and are given different
