1. Is the law in the Philippines a moral standard or a non-moral standard?

A moral standard, because the law in our country was democracy. We have the standard that
protect any life of a human. The law protect the moral of every human for their right. Every person
was protecting by any agency and law that protect the human right not to violate by the person. We
can stand our self for the dignity and any human violator. The law stand for the moral of any of us
and protect us especially the woman not to violate their right, the law comfort us .

2. Why not all rules are moral rules; not all standards are moral standards?

The ‘Not all rules are moral rules” is a concept about how culture and tradition affect the moral
standards and laws of nations. In other words, what is right for a nation may be not right to another
nation. Moral standards deal with matters we think can seriously injure or benefit humans, animals,
and the environment, such as child abuse, rape, and murder. Moral standards are not established or
changed by the decisions of authoritative individuals or bodies. Indeed, moral standards rest on the
adequacy of the reasons that are taken to support and justify them. For sure, we don’t need a law to
back up our moral conviction that killing innocent people is absolutely wrong. Moral standards are
overriding, that is, they take precedence over other standards and considerations, especially of self
interest. It is based on impartial considerations. Hence, moral standards are fair and just; and moral
standards are associated with special emotions (such as guilt and shame) and vocabulary (such as
right, wrong, good, and bad).

3. Why the need to distinguish moral standards from non-moral ones?

It is important to note that different societies have different moral beliefs and that our beliefs are
deeply influenced by our own culture and context. For this reason, some values do have moral
implications, while others don’t.

4. Provide a real-life situation that shows the importance of knowing the difference between
Moral Standards and Non-Moral Standards.

One example, the wearing of hijab. For sure, in traditional Muslim communities, the wearing of hijab
is the most appropriate act that women have to do in terms of dressing up. In fact, for some
Muslims, showing parts of the woman’s body, such as the face and legs, is despicable. However, in
many parts of the world, especially in Western societies, most people don’t mind if women barely
cover their bodies. As a matter of fact, the Hollywood canon of beauty glorifies a sexy and slim body
and the wearing of extremely daring dress. The point here is that people in the West may have
pitied the Muslim women who wear hijab, while some Muslims may find women who dress up
daringly despicable.
