 “REIGNISM”

INTRODUCTION

The Reignism Principle was discovered and named after its developer, Kryshel Reign Ga.

The word reign comes from the Latin "regnum", meaning "realm" or "reign," from the root reg-,

meaning "move in a straight line," with derivatives meaning "to direct in a straight line," thus "to

lead, rule." This ethical principle is linked to St. Thomas Aquinas' ethical theory of Natural Law

Ethics. According to natural law, we have fundamental principles that reign over our reasoning

and actions. It asserts that universal moral standards exist throughout periods and cultures

because these values serve as the foundation of an equitable society.

BODY

Outlining the principle and how is morality or immorality possible?

This is an ethical philosophy that claims humans are born with a moral compass that

directs their actions. These inherited reigns essentially distinguish between "rights" and "wrongs"

in life. Everyone has the same rights under natural law, such as the right to life and the right to

happiness to reign.

St. Thomas Aquinas stated that an act is morally acceptable if it follows the moral law. This ethical

concept seeks to persuade individuals to live under moral law and to always do good to become

virtuous. Living our lives by doing the right thing is what we should do, and it will guide us in

developing our personalities. A good individual is someone who lives in such a way that virtue

reigns.

If a person's virtue reigns or rules over them, it can help them keep their desire to live and

do good alive. A moral individual would always attempt to do the right thing, no matter what, and

would carry out the same result as their intentions. This might be challenging at times, but a moral

individual is constantly guided by her/his morals. On the other hand, a person can be an immoral

individual who violates recognized rules of behavior. Such a person would

engage in unacceptable behavior that compromises the reigning of the genuine happiness of an
individual.

Repercussions/Implications

According to this ethical theory, the only way to reach the reign of happiness is to always

do the right thing, no matter what. People should avoid inappropriately doing things since it will

stifle their progress as individuals. A virtuous individual cares for others, helps others, makes

others' lives better by maintaining to reign her/his purpose to do what is right, and influences

others to do good. The qualities we possess form the foundation of our individuality. This provides

a guide for doing what is morally right and having an adequate life, which is something that

everyone should do. Everyone ought to live their life with a purpose and the reign of genuine

happiness everyone deserves.

YOUR ETHICAL PRINCIPLE’S POINTS OF STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES

Pros

The pros of this principle include the way it allows individuals to do what is ethically right to

reign genuine happiness in their lives. It encourages individuals to do the right thing and allows

them to gain further virtues. Additionally, it involves the fact that we allow ourselves to engage in

beneficial behaviors, thereby improving our good behavior routine. Also, this principle offers

stability and consistency. This principle also allows us to make it possible for everyone to follow

the principles of living a good life and acting morally.

Cons

The disadvantage of this concept is that it depends too heavily on human reason, which is

too incorrect to be believed in. This principle seeks to do what is morally right and to do good to

reign genuine happiness in their lives; nonetheless, good cannot be defined by nature; this is a

naturalist fallacy. Goodness can't be analyzed or defined by any natural reference. It also provides

no clear knowledge of how to cope with ethical issues. There is still a probability that a person

may experience a moral dilemma at some point in his or her life and will be uncertain about how
to handle the situation that they are facing.

IS YOUR ETHICAL PRINCIPLE WORKABLE OR ATTAINABLE?

The ethical principle is achievable because it encourages doing what is ethically correct.

It transforms us into ethical individuals who are aware of the fundamental principles governing

moral behavior and behave by those values. This benefits both the one who does the deed and

the person who receives the act since it allows us to see the genuineness and regard that one

shows for each individual in one's action. Making it a routine to act morally enables us to

develop and enhance our attributes and behaviors, allowing us to become the best possible

embodiment of ourselves. This allows us to live with a purpose, which is to reign in genuine

happiness in our lives.
