In my own understanding philosophy are perpetually engaged in asking, answering and arguing for their
answer to life most basic questions. From the meaning of philosophy "love of wisdom" people seek to
understand fundamental truths about the world and even the truth about themselves.
2. Moral Philosophy/Ethics
From the word moral, moral is all about the concerned of right and wrong. Moral philosophy
contemplates what is right and wrong. It explores the nature of morality and examines how people
should live their lives in relation to others.

goodness or value. When we say value it originally meant the worthy of something.
4. Meta-Ethics
Meta-ethics is about what also right and wrong but it us about what our obligations. And it is also what
morality actually is.

Activity 3: React to the following statements and give your interpretation.
1. It is wrong to kill one person to save another.

In this statement our decision making is the one will guided us. It is all about sacrificing whether
the wrong or good decision. When you kill someone you know that it was a biggest sin in the eye
our God but when there was a situation that someone is in danger you will stuck between killing
another just to save that person or doing the very right thing to avoid doing sins but that person
would that on that killer. It is the reason why there was an ethics in our life to understand our
certain situation.
2. Different societies have different moral codes.
3. There is no objective truth in ethics. Right and wrong are only opinions, and opinions vary
from culture to culture.
4. Goodness and badness are not perceived by the senses.
5. Voluntary actions are moral.
I think voluntary actions are not moral because it was exists on an independent situation. It was
consciously choosing right behavior over wrong behavior, right action over wrong action.

Activity 6: Direction: Write an essay consisting of 150-200 words in your own handwriting.
Use a long pad paper and submit it to your instructor for grading. The topic is: Ethics Has a
Prominent Importance in My Life.”
Why ethics has a prominent importance in my life? As the definition ethics is a system
of principles that helps us tell right from wrong, a good from bad. We need to be ethical
because it defines who we are individually and as a society. It also helps us guide along a
pathway to deal more effectively with ethical dilemmas by eliminating those behaviors
that do not conform from, our best rational interests without sacrificing others. Ethics is
about the choice we make its either the reason is good or bad.
We are aware that the choices we made have a consequence both for ourselves and in
others. We are also aware for our responsibilities we had for our actions. Here is another
reason why ethics is important to our daily life. Based on some reason we cannot
dismiss ethics from our life, but we have to be guided by it. Ethics guided us in our
decision making and in our behavior when we encountered problems and how to behave
in a certain situation.
