1. Can an act of man be considered a human act if the action is carried out without malice?
Why or why not?

I think, yes, it can be considered. We all know that the act of man happened naturally
as an automatic response to the situation, while human act portrays their freedom and will.
Actually, they can both have good and bad outcomes, but the difference is, in human acts it
occurs unknowingly while human acts happen knowingly. So that means acts of man can be
considered a human act can be carried out without malice.

Acts of man can become human acts when he uses his intellect and will to perform the
act. Sometimes we don't know that we unknowingly do good towards others by automatic
response, but it doesn't mean it's always applicable. Sometimes others need to think about it
first before they do it. It is just like a different scenario but different response towards it. From
this, man takes responsibility for these actions.

2. Robin Hood robbed the rich and gave money to the poor. Was his act justified? Explain
your answer.

There are two scenarios in this given situation. First, when Robin Hood robbed the rich.
Secondly, is when he gave the money to the poor. Some of us might agree with what he is
doing, since his main goal is to help and give back to the poor. But the source of what he
gives is from the wrong deeds. Yes, we can say that the money he gets is the money of the
rich man who gets it in wrong deeds too, but we are not in a position to do that. Robin Hood
thinks that a rich man has a connection and power that poor people can't have, that's why,
to represent them, he does an action like this.
 Robin Hood has a bad action but has good intentions. Despite the situation he has, the
judgment is not within our hands and we must not pay evil for their evil deeds. But be good,
even the world is full of bad and wrong things.

3. As a moral person, you perform human acts. What human act/s do you frequently perform?

Human act is the things that we do freely and with knowledge of the action is present. In
everyday life, I believe that many people perform human acts, including me. Since, I exist
almost 20 years on earth and it is impossible for me not to act morally. Maybe I will share a
highlight of my life that happened to me.

As a human, it is essential to know what is right and wrong. That definition is applicable to
my favorite things I always do and it is including myself to a ministry in our church. Mostly, we
share the word of God to each other to give hope and enlightenment. We encourage others
by praying and listening to them. We help others by doing fundraising and give them
something to keep. We praise God together to give thanks to what He has done in our lives.
From this ministry, I invite other people that make them change their lives to become better.
Our main goal is to build a better place that loves God and loves other people. This thing is the
one that I am proud of.
