Activity 1
Reflect on three contemporary questions.
 Who am I?
 Who do I want to be?
 How can I get there?
I honestly do not think if this question means how I see myself from my own lens
or it relies on other people’s perception towards me. I am born in a blank slate. When
years passed by, I gain knowledge through experiences. So I can I say that I am not a
blank slate anymore. I made a lot of accomplishments and also mistakes or failure. By
those mistakes and failures, I know that though out those years I learn a lot of things. I
am creating myself. I like certain things, I don’t like others. I form opinions and had
thoughts. I found activities that I can enjoy. I met people and made friends. I started life
from somewhere but I built my own path from there.
I am an ambitious person and a dreamer. My dream is to become someone who
didn’t worry about the future anymore. My dream is to provide my family needs and
wants for their daily lives in able for them to have a comfortable life to live. And also
when I grow I want to become someone who can help other people to achieve their
dreams too.
I am now on the process of achieving my goals. I am a college student, taking
Bachelor of Science in Accountancy. I think this is the first step to achieve my goal. I am
taking this course for me to become an Accountant. Although not very obvious, I am
studying hard. When I’ll become an Accountant, I will save a lot of my money for my
future’s dream. So for me, to become an Accountant is not a dream. It is just a way
which will lead you to achieve your dreams.
Activity 2
1. Does obeying the natural law mean that human beings must only confront their self-
realization to the laws of nature? Explain your answer.
2. Why is the quest for doing the good tied to the question “Who am I?”
3. Why is the love of God the perfection of the ethical life?
Answers:
1. Yes. Since it is the natural law, we must obey. Obeying isn't to adjust
ourselves to something outsider to us, however to satisfy the necessities of our own
thriving. Laws are morally justified only to the extent that they promote the self-
realization of the individual, but moral development is meaningful only if it obeys the
law. It also implies that you, as an individual is capable on what you are doing.
2. The quest for doing the good tied to the question “Who am I?” because doing
good deeds to other people tells who you are. We are all born with a conscience that
guides us towards the path of goodness and kindness. We are all in the process of
becoming the best version of ourselves and doing good deeds to others increases our
well-being.
3. Love of God is a moral goodness, which works as a central ground for all
human righteousness and good deeds to help them towards their ultimate perfection.
The love of God helps people to have ethical living. When you love, there's always a
tendency to do moral living. If we truly know how great the love of God, we always tend
to do things that are morally acceptable.
Activity 3: Explain how you can decide one of the following:
1. Whether contractual labor morally acceptable and why or why not?
2. Whether one can revolt against tyrannical government administration.
Answers:
i. No. Contractualization just outcomes in monetary unsteadiness to the
average workers. Brief work puts the life of individuals to vulnerabilities and
limits their capacity to grandstand and master one's abilities. Ethically, if the
laborers don't damage any principles and carry out their responsibility
proficiently, legally binding work ought not to be an alternative. It is ethically
off-base for an organization to evacuate their legally binding specialists for
benefit and modest work. Private enterprise, at its fullest degree, yields
narrow minded and uncompassionate individuals and contractualization,
because of seeking after personal circumstance, is a result of it.
ii. Yes, of course tyranny makes two things exist: dread and rage. Dread exists
when tyrannical administrator utilizes power to control its kin. Anger or rage
exists when tyrannical persecution incites the mass to battle for their lives. In
the event that there's mistreatment, there will consistently be an obstruction.
Activity 4: Listen to the news for one week and identify a moral issue where you can
use the categorical imperative to discern the duty of person involved.
According to Immanuel Kant, the categorical imperative is something that a
person must do, no matter what the circumstances. It is imperative to an ethical person
that they make choices based on the categorical imperative. It is supposed to provide a
way for us to evaluate moral actions and to make moral judgments. Another way of
saying that is, an ethical person follows a “universal and impartial law” regardless of
their situation. This law can be applied in this time of pandemic wherein, there are some
people who gave back their reliefs or “ayuda” to be given to other families who are less
fortunate. According to Kant, universal is for all people, in virtue with being rational,
those people who gave back their “ayuda” is being rational in terms of thinking that
there some people who are in need than them. They think that there are people who
definitely deserves it more than themselves even though they have the same status in
life. Regardless of their status or situation they chose to have rational thinking in times
of this crisis. They are likewise being unprejudiced in light of the fact that they think
about those most deprived than themselves, they regard that it ought to be given to the
perfect individual, they don't take their activities by their own inclinations, and they don't
put their own aspirations by not giving it back on the grounds that morals is applied and
that is the perspective that others may require it more than they do.
