WHAT IS MORALITY?

Student 1: Give his answer.

Student 2: Give her answer.

Now we give you the meaning of Morality of Paniz, 1964

“The quality of HUMAN ACTS by which we call them RIGHT or

WRONG, GOOD or EVIL.”

In addition: Human action is right when it conforms to the norm, rule,

or law of Morality.

Teacher: Example: when Juan gets the pencil of Pedro without the
latter’s permission, Juan’s action is wrong because it is adherent to
the norm, “stealing is wrong.

A man’s action, habit or character is good when it is not lacking of

what is natural to man, i.e. when it is in accordance with man’s nature.

For instance, it is not natural for man to behave like a beast because
he is not a beast. He is a man and, unlike the beast he has intellect
and free will. That intellect makes him capable of thinking,

judging and reasoning. His free will gives him the ability to
choose.

Unlike the beasts, he is not bound by instincts. It is a natural

occurrence for beasts when a male dog meets a female dog on the
street and mate right there and then, as they are not free but bound
by their instinct, like sexual instinct. But it is contrary to a man’s nature
when a man and a woman do as the dogs do. To do so is to go down
to the level of the best.

Meaning of Foundational Moral Principle:

 The word principle came from the Latin word, “PRINCEPS”
which means “a source or beginning”
 A Principle is, that on which something is based, founded,
originated or initiated.
 A Foundational Moral Principle is, therefore, the universal
norm upon which all other principle on the rightness or
wrongness of an action are based.
 It is the source of Morality

Where is this Foundational Moral Principle?

 It is contained in the Natural Law

What is Natural Law?

 It is the law written in the hearts of men (Romans 2:15)
 For Theists, It is “man’s share in the Eternal Law of God….”
(Panizo, 1964)
 St. Thomas defines it as “the light of natural reason, whereby
we discern what is good and what is evil… an imprint on us of
the divine light…” (Panizo, 1964)
 It is the law that say: “Do good and avoid evil.”

Teacher: The natural law that says“do good and avoid evil” comes
in different versions.
 “Do not do to others what you do not like others to do to you.”-
Kung Fu Tsu
 “Do to others what you want them to do to you.” –Golden Rule
of Christanity
 “Act in such a way that your maxim can be the maxim for all.”-
Immanuel Kant

Now we come to overview the religious views on morality:
In Christianity, Buddhists, Islamic Korans and Muslims.
1. Christian’s Perspective:
“Do to others what you want them to do to you.”
- This golden rule is made more explicit through the Ten
Commandment and the Eight Beatitudes. These are
summed up in the two great commandments:
 “Love God with all your heart, with all your mind,
with all your strength” and
 “ Love your neighbor as you love yourself

2. Buddhists’ Perspective
- The Buddhists state this through the eight-fold path. For
them, they do good when they:
 Strive to know the truth
 Resolve to resist evil

 Say nothing to hurt others

 Respect life, morality and property
 Engage in a job that does not injure others
 Strive to free their mind of evil
 Control their feelings and thoughts
 Practice proper forms of concentrations
3. Islamic Perspective
- Based on the Islamic Quran
 The Islamic Quran “forbids lying, stealing,
adultery and murder.”
 It also teaches “honor for parents, kindness of
slaves, protection for the orphaned and the
widowed and charity to the poor.
 It teaches the virtues of faith in God, patience,
kindness, honesty, industry, honor, courage and
generosity.
 It condemns mistrust, impatience and cruelty
4. Muslims’ Perspective
- The Five Pillars of Islam
a. Prayer
b. Self-Purification by Fasting.
c. Fasting
d. Almsgiving
e. Pilgrimage to Mecca for those who can afford.

Teacher, as a person of good moral character:

- According to the preamble of our Code of Ethics as
professional teachers…..

“Teachers are duly licensed professional who possess dignity and

reputation with high moral values as well as technical and
professional competence. In the practice of their profession, they
strictly adhere to, observe and practice this set of ethical and moral
principles, standard values,”

4 Ways of Describing Good Moral Character:

1. Being fully human – you have realized substantially your
potential as human person
2. Being a loving person – you are caring in an unselfish and
mature manner with yourself, other people and God.
3. Being a virtuous person – you have acquired good habits
and attitudes and you practice them consistently in your daily
life.
4. Being a morally mature person - you have reached a level
of development emotionally, socialy, mentally, spirituallly
appropriate to your developmental stage.
