Activity 2

Direction: Answer the essay question. Please see attach rubrics. (15 points item)
How does the shutting down of ABS-CBN and non-renewal of its franchise fall under the category of
either good or right? Or both good and right?

We are all aware of the ABS-CBN issue, and I think it's right to shut down their business. I'm not
opposed to ABS-CBN in the first place, right because they did not follow the NTC's rules and regulations
where they refused to observe honesty in the business world. All they see is the achievement, not the
body, where the company's real goals, goals, mission and vision can be found.
Moreover, it is right to reduce the corruption of our nation's people. Our views on them are
good, but they are not justified by their intent and management. Now we are facing a pandemic, but if
the uppermost source of hunger is not well-searched, we will suffer more.

 II. Essay: Contrast the two concepts and give an example: “whatever is right does not mean it is
good and whatever is good does not mean it is right” (25 points).

Both right and good are morally good. Everything that is right does not mean that it is good, and 
whatever is good does not mean that it is right. Let's talk about the right, it's generally fine in the eye,
but it's morally compulsory for the exact right. For example, your parents sent you to school or gave you
your necessities, which is moral obligatory, what you think is right now. We are all aware that our needs 
should be provided to us by parents because it is our right, but it does not mean well.

There is another one that is good. It's just "relative," you engage in a thing that makes you good and 
become selfless. For example, you invite a friend of mine to eat lunch and you don't give her anything to
pay for lunch. The nice thing for you and your buddy to do is to pay on your own for both meals.
You show them a positive gesture of kindness and consideration by paying the other person for them 
lunch. Without asking something in exchange, you show a kindness that is out of the bound of justice 
and is out of your own good will. It is mandatory to be right and to be nice is selflessness.
