ethics

1. Recall some rules you have to follow in school and community. What rules do
you find constricting? Explain why you have to follow rules.

Some of the rules we have in our School are as follows:

Classroom rules
 Ask questions if you have.
 Respect and listen to your classmates.
 Respect and listen to the teacher.
 Raise your hand to speak.
 Be prepared for class.
 Be quiet when the teacher is talking.
 Be quiet when classmates are talking.
 Share new ideas.

We need to follow these rules because rules are made so that everyone is


considered equal in the organization. Breaking the rules creates conflict. When we try to
manipulate life to our own advantage, others are inconvenienced, unfairly burdened,
and often angered. Who needs more conflict in their lives? If we follow the rules, we
enjoy less conflict.

2. When do you say something is a moral experience?

A moral experience is choosing to do the right thing and/or choosing not to do the wrong
thing; A moral experience is listening to your conscience and obeying it. It about doing
what is morally right and avoiding wrong doings.

3. Discuss about student’s moral dilemma/s?

One of the students moral dilemma is about cheating. One can cheat without
knowing. Students establish looking up the answers to a homework assignment as
not doing it, cheating doesn’t only occur during test and quizzes. It can even be
involving oneself in a 20 member group chat made to “help” each other out. When
the group chat gets busted, there is no other excuse to hide behind when the sole
purpose really was to cheat. Some use cheating to their advantage on a regular
basis, whereas others cheat “every once in while,” Which still makes it equally as
wrong. The long-term effects of cheating now don’t look promising, and it surely
doesn’t make you learn said needed information. Currently, no ideal way to make
every person abstain from cheating exists. Students will always find ways to be lazy
and get out of their work, but they need to remember the effects it can have on their
future.
Just because the majority does it, doesn’t make it right. We need to be honest in
order for us to be morally upright individual.

4. From the Video clip. Identify and explain, what level of moral dilemma? Please
include some reflection.

Individual-Judgment is based on self-chosen principles, and moral reasoning is


based on individual rights and justice. Example: The most common ethical dilemma is
involved when you are taking someone to hospital for an emergency treatment by car.
The law states that speeding and running red lights is illegal. However, this person might
die if not treated quickly and they are in your car.
