I. Rationale

Every organization has an ethical code that guides its decision making
and activities to have effective productivity and maintain its reputation.
Ethical behavior ensures that staff completes work with honesty and integrity
and meets the aim of an organization by adhering to rules and policies.

In the current bureaucratic framework of the Philippines there is a need

to conduct courses like this as it will guide the organization and the individuals
within that organization on their values, behaviors, and decisions.

Module II: Application Exercises

Exercise 1: Personal values

Think about the values and morals that you live by. List your top ten personal
ethical rules.

Exercise 2: Shipwreck situation

This is a classic case in ethics theory. Give the following information to the
students: Imagine that you are involved in a shipwreck situation - a ship has
started to sink in the middle of the ocean. Eleven people have jumped into a
life-boat that has been designed for a maximum of ten people only, and the life-
boat is also starting to sink. What should the passengers do? Throw one
person overboard and save ten lives? Or stick to the principle of "do not kill",
which means that everybody will drown? The lecturer can invite contributions
from the class and even take a vote, and then illustrate how different
theoretical approaches (e.g. utilitarianism and deontology) will lead to different
solutions that are both valid in terms of the particular approach.
