    This document discusses the differences between moral and non-moral standards. A moral standard is a guideline for determining whether an action is right or wrong based on whether it affects human values, conduct toward others, and established codes of ethics. An action under moral standard is considered "morally heavy" if it meets these criteria. In contrast, a non-moral standard refers to rules that are unrelated to moral considerations and may lack an ethical component, such as matters of personal preference, etiquette, aesthetics, or certain laws. The document provides examples of each and notes that while something illegal may not necessarily be immoral, a moral dilemma involves options that impact the moral standard.

    FILIPINO VALUES vs. UNIVERSAL

    “Values”, also known as virtues are


    emphasized to be activities practiced and
    that the purpose of ethics is to become
    good and not just know the values.
    (Aristotle, 384-322 B.C.E.)

    Republic Act No. 8491 states that our


    national motto shall be “MAKA-DIYOS,
    MAKA-TAO, MAKAKALIKASAN, AT
    MAKABANSA.”

    Why are there UNIVERSAL VALUES?


    The dangers that the cultural relativism
    present led thinkers to reject the concept
    because it is implausible. There are
    universal virtues since we still share the
    same concern of valuing human life. No
    cultural relativist should allow the
    endangerment of life

    .UNIVERSAL VALUES
    - Caring for the young
    - Murder is wrong
    - Telling the truth
    - Kindness
    - Love of country
    - Honesty
