1. Ethics instruction in college is probably a waste of time because students' value systems
solidify earlier in life. What percent of students do you think are fundamentally honest,
trustworthy, and ethical, and what percent are fundamentally dishonest, untrustworthy,
andunethical? (10pts)

From my own perspective, 50% of the students are fundamentally honest, trustworthy,
and ethical. There are still many students who believe that being moral in their actions could lead
to positive outcomes and consequences. They might be either influenced by several factors,
which make them stick with maintaining the core values and moral thinking. However, the
remaining 50% are fundamentally dishonest, untrustworthy, and unethical because of their
experiences in life. Based on my observations, most college students suffer from different
hardships, which make their ethical standing more vulnerable. Most of these experiences are
negatively affecting their mindset, as they must also probably lack guidance from their parents
and guardians. This results to producing unethical college students who shows their immoral
values at school.

2. There should be coverage of ethics because at least some students will be positively
influenced. How should ethics instruction be handled for college students? (10pts)

Ethics instruction is more than disseminating ethical guidelines; it needs


teaching students how to control their own moral decision-making. For college students, ethics
instruction must be taught heart to heart. College students might be hard to instruct ethics as they
already have their own perceptions in life in which they believe in. Therefore, I think that the
proper way to teach them sincerely to connect with them. Use personal experiences as examples
so that they will see how their learning could be applied.

3. Ethics should be emphasized in virtually every college course to increase the likelihood of
better conduct later in life. Will corrupting influences and pressure for results in the
workplace tend to cancel out ethics lessons learned in college? (10pts)
Corrupting influences and pressure for results in the workplace will not tend to cancel out
ethics lessons learned in college. I believe that corrupting these influences and pressure will help
college students to focus more on accomplishing their tasks as these may just serve as
distractions to them when it comes to the workplace. These influences and pressure may be
positive or negative; however, I think that these could just distract them from completing their
work. It could also lead to positive results and impact in the workplace. Ethics learned in college
will not be cancelled. It will be more likely challenged throughout the working experience.

4. Your own ethical interpretation as a college student? (10pts)

Ethics may not be of big impact for us college students. As we already have our own
volition to follow and believe on what we know is right from wrong, instilling ethics in daily
teachings in college may not really create a big impact on us unless it is taught with sincerity and
value. Most of us will just listen on what we would want to hear and what we would want to
believe. This stigma will only be broken unless we feel that the ethics being taught to us is
realistic that we know we could relate and apply it to our daily life.
