Write a short reflection paper about this quote: “It is better to be kind than to be

When given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind." We
all struggle with the insecurities of our egos, with the insecurity of being
wrong. And a threatened ego will almost always lash out. When we make an
effort to prove someone wrong by establishing ourselves as right, we're being
unkind in the process, whether we intend to be or not. Only the ego cares
about the distinctions between right and wrong. The heart simply loves and
accepts whomever is on the other side of the conversation. Let's operate
from our hearts, with kindness. As F. Scott Fitzgerald says, “To be kind is
more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a
brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.”

 Task 5
 
In terms of Pre-marital sex and teenage pregnancy, millennials are willing and eager to take risks; they don’t mind making
mistakes-they consider this a learning opportunity. How would you react to this statement about yourselves as millennials?

Our generation is so different from past generations. Don’t you think? Certain things that
were less accepted in society are becoming more and more accepted today. One of those
things is teen pregnancy and pre-marital sex. Most teens in this generation want to grow up
too fast instead of living their teenage years and enjoying them. However, they don’t realize
how much they are missing out on until its too late. They don’t realize that once you have a
baby, your life takes a backseat because you are no longer the most important thing; your
child is. I think they enjoy the attention they receive while being pregnant but once the baby
is born, reality kicks in and being a parent is no easy task. Your teenage years is not
something you can ever get back. Enjoying high school and your friends is difficult to do
when you have a child.

 Task 6
 
Millennials are often at odds with their parents on so many things. List down five (5) issues that
you always find being debated upon or quarreled upon with your parents and ponder the reasons
why. to argue about. It doesn't really matter what time the curfew
• 1. Curfew. Curfew is a classic topic for parents and teenagers
is; when kids don't show up at home when they're supposed to, their parents get worried. A worried parent becomes a
scolding parent. When the teen does come home, they get an earful and a stiff punishment. 
• 2. Cell Phone Use. Historically speaking, cell phones are a new technology, so this is a fairly new source of conflict. It ties
into the other sources of conflict, like how to spend money and what kinds of displays of affection are appropriate. Usually,
the disagreement happens when the teenager uses their cell phone excessively, either by racking up a very high phone bill
or while communicating with a significant other. Sometimes, the phone is used in an inappropriate way, such as sexting.
• 3. Noise. It doesn't matter whether it's a party, an electric guitar, or the TV—parents don't seem to have the same tolerance
for noise as teenagers. Sometimes, teens want to have noisy fun while their parents want to sleep. This is a common
conflict that occurs every day. Conflicts over type of music could fall under this category, too, because if parents don't like
the music the kids are listening to, then they are more likely to tell them to turn it down.
•  4. Boyfriend/Girlfriend. There are 1,000 reasons why a parent might not like your boyfriend or girlfriend when you're a
teenager. There are also 1,000 reasons to justify that the parent is being unfair. Either way, parents probably see their kids
as being too young to make a good decision—if they are even old enough to date at all.
•  5. Grades. If there’s one easy, standardized way for parents to gauge maturity and discipline, it’s by looking at a teenager’s
grades. Although this may not be totally true, parents might still use this data to judge a teenager every time their grades
are reported. Some parents have a problem with F’s, while others don't even want to see C's. Regardless, the conflict
happens when the parents’ expectations aren’t met.
Task 7
 Task 8
Can a person still be ethical and moral even without any religious affiliation?

We are all condemned to be moral agents. When we choose a course

of actions, we make the decision according to whether it is morally
good or bad. If this question is one on matter of fact, then the answer
is a resounding "yes". In Socrates and Confucius, we have two great
philosophers who have expounded their ethics without recourse to any
supernatural being. Since God is worshipped as being absolutely good,
all moral judgements must use God's absolute goodness as a standard.
Since what is absolute is eternal, necessary, and universal, it is not
subject to the vagaries of space and time.
Task 9
President Duterte wants to revive death penalty despite the situation that the country is a melting pot of different Christian and religious
institutions. Discuss the possibility of its revival and answer this question: Is death penalty immoral? Discuss also your answer.

Sentencing someone to death is immoral mostly because it allows the state to

choose who deserves to die and lawfully kill in the name of justice. Death
sentences are usually given in response to murder. However, this enables the
“eye for an eye” ideology, and it allows for murder to be acceptable in certain
circumstances when it should not be acceptable at all. Also, if the idea is to
truly impose a harsh punishment that will equal the amount of suffering the
criminal inflicted, then allowing them to live a life in solitude with no hope of
freedom would amount to much more than a quick death. Death is also too
permanent of a punishment, considering how easy it is for an innocent person
to be convicted of a crime.
