1. What is Ethics?

- Ethics, often known as moral philosophy, is the study of what is ethically good and bad as
well as what is morally right and wrong. Any system or theory of moral values or principles is
frequently referred to as a moral value system or theory. It is a philosophical discipline that studies
what is morally good and bad, as well as what is morally correct and wrong. Ethics is a set of moral
principles at its most basic level. They have an impact on how people make choices and live their
lives. 

2. Why there is dilemma in making a decision?

- Making decisions will always be challenging since weighing your options takes time and
effort. Second-guessing oneself and feeling unsure are common side effects of the process. They're
beneficial in numerous ways. A hint that you're considering your options rather than just going with
the flow. When confronted with a dilemma, a person must choose between two desirable options or
opposite two undesirable options. This occurs when moral arguments against both sides are present.
It also occurs when all options are subjected to the identical moral arguments against them. In a
decision-making situation, an ethical dilemma takes place when one of the possible options forces
the person to violate or affect on their ethical norms. In such a situation, selecting one moral will
inevitably lead to the violation of another or performing one thing may provide positive
consequences but is morally wrong.

3. What is being good always being right?

- For me, there’s a difference between being good and being right. A moral claim that a
person has against other people is referred to as a right. This moral right becomes a legal right if it is
endorsed by law. A good is a way of being that is morally valuable in and of itself rather than as a
means of achieving some other good objective. Generally, something is morally right if it is ethically
needed whereas something is morally good if it is worthwhile having or doing and improves the lives
of people who have it. Actions, deeds, and behaviours are frequently held to be morally right or
wrong in terms of the action performed but morally good or bad in terms of the encouragement.

4. Example of Ethical dilemma?

- One of the example is, the dean announces over the school activity that a teacher's laptop
has been taken from her classroom. A locker search will be conducted if it is not returned by the
afternoon. You recall seeing the boy whose locker is next to yours stuffing what seemed to be a
laptop into his backpack when you arrived at school this morning. In this case, you must choose
between going to the dean's office and share what you know with the boy or you will find the kid
and ask him if he took it and maybe the kid will give you some money to have you keep quiet.
Epicureanism held that the SOURCE of Happiness is PLEASURE. How can his be the BASIS of
MORALITY? Discuss with reflective analysis your thoughts on this.

- Epicureanism’s source of happiness is pleasure can be the basis of morality because

happiness is the sole aim of individuals. Epicurus concludes that morality for each individual must be
the skill of attaining the greatest degree of personal pleasure. This ethics is based on hedonistic
values. Epicureans consider pleasure to be the primary goal of life and they claim that nature
appears to instruct humans to avoid pain to the greatest extent possible. Also Epicurean morality is
based on the combination of fact and duty. It argues that the individual is primarily interested in his
or her own pleasure. It is his right to pursue his pleasure whether it is in conflict with others' or in
agreement with them. People would be free to seek the pleasures both physical and mental to
which they are naturally inclined and to enjoy the peace of mind that comes with regularly expected
and achieved satisfaction if worries and associated cravings were gone.
