1. Aristotle’s perspective, “a decision is a particular kind of desire resulting from deliberation,

one that expresses the agent’s conception of what is good”. In this connection, what kind of
moral agent does Aristotle want? (10 points)

 Moral Responsibility - Making judgments about whether a person is morally responsible

for her behavior, and holding others and ourselves responsible for actions and the
consequences of actions,

2. Is morality is absolute? Support your answer (10 points)

 YES, the standards against which the morality of an action can be judged. An example is
a moral absolute like 'do not lie' may be greater or lesser than a moral absolute like 'do
not steal.

3. Write a minimum of 20 sentences on your insight about this particular topic? (20 points)

My insight about this activity is morality depend on how people see your action even if it’s
bad or good people will judge you. Moral Values and Moral absolutes exist it’s hard to deny that
moral values is not easy to follow like moral absolutes because moral values contents faithful,
loyalty, commitment, and fairness not all of us can follow those because we have our moral
absolutes that we do wrong and in the end we saw the result as right. Moral judgement is
supportive by reason which people judge you by your action but they have reason and you also
have reason to your bad or good action. Because most people assume all the things you do is
wrong. Moral agent has a power of choosing and act according to his choice .You have a choice
to do it right or do it wrong. Your decision reflect of you choices you always have a choice on
every action you made, you have freedom of choosing what you want, as long as your choices is
acceptable on society belief, you’re responsible o your own action. You can act freely as long as
you didn’t violated any moral rights. Virtues are important because they are the basic qualities
necessary for our wellbeing and happiness. By recognizing the importance of virtues, in our
lives, it will lead to better communication, understanding and acceptance between us and our
fellow man. Making judgments about whether a person is morally responsible for her behavior,
and holding others and ourselves responsible for actions and the consequences of actions, is a
fundamental and familiar part of our moral practices and our interpersonal relationships. The
idea that people can be held responsible or accountable for their actions is central to our moral
thinking.
