VI. Semester/School Year Offered: 2nd Semester A.Y. 2022-2023

VII. Course Description:

This course module is on Ethics. This will not just tell you what is right and wrong, it will help you in determining it for yourself. More
specifically, it will present you with conceptual and analytic tools that will hopefully guide you in your ethical thinking. The Commission on Higher
Education had mandated that Ethics be a general education course required for all college students. As stated in Memorandum Order No. 20, series of
2013, the fundamental purpose of higher education is not only to develop knowledgeable and competent graduates in a particular field, but also well-
rounded individuals who appreciate in a general sense, are open minded because of it, secure in their identities as individuals and as Filipinos, and
cognizant of their role in the life of the nation and the larger community. Ethics then is one of the courses that will ideally contribute to the
development of your intellectual competencies, and civic capacities, and to the development of your ability to comprehend the complexities of the
social and natural realities around us, as well as your ability to think through the ethical and social implications of a given course of actions. This
course module aimed to be fruitful to the pursuit of this ideal.
