Engagement
1. Make a list of the following:
Identify each one of them whether these are ethical in nature or not. (6 pts.)
a. three obligations we are expected to fulfill, (3 pts)
 We are Obliged to Follow, Listen, and Respect Our Family
–An ethic for the family is a set of beliefs and norms that describe what a family should do and
how to treat "family." Because there is no universally accepted definition of "family," establishing
what a family is necessitates that it is an ethical in nature.
 Obligations As a Filipino Citizen
–As Filipino citizens, we have a responsibility to uphold the law, hence we must abstain from crimes like
rape, theft, murder, assault, slander, and fraud. Being a Filipino citizen therefore involves upholding ethical
principles that encourage the values of loyalty, compassion, and honesty.
 Obligations As a Student
–Being a student teaches us how to maintain discipline, be honest, adhere to rules and regulations, keep
our word, and assist those in need. Hence, there is a framework of ethics
that underlies a student's life, guiding us toward morally sound choices and keeping us away from unjust
outcomes.
b. three prohibitions we are required to respect, (3 pts)
 We are Required to Respect the Law
GEC-E Ethics Page 2

– It is ethical in nature. The general idea is that, because laws are typically good for the peace of everyone,
we should generally follow them unless they are especially unfair or there are specific moral reasons to
break them.
 Respect One Another's Privacy
–Privacy has an ethical implications because it serves as a barrier to guard the individual from outside
scrutiny, prejudice, coercion, exploitation, and judgments. So, the value of privacy is made abundantly
evident by allowing people to live freely and independently.
 Respect for Humankind Especially Elders
–The most basic ethical concept of all is probably respect for individuals. Respect requires that we all
uphold the moral value of every single person. It cannot be earned if it is basic to who we are, which it is.
Thus, being human endows one with this quality.
c. three ideals we are encouraged to meet. (3 pts)
 We are Encouraged to Engage Democracy
–Fairness is the result of moral judgment, which is the process by which people decide what is morally
right and wrong. Being fair-minded aids in the development of relationships where both parties can
benefit.
 Encouraged to Meet Fairness
–The idea of liberty, equality and fraternity, as the democratic trinity, is an ethical value that humanity is
encouraged to meet. As an ethical idea, it should inspire each person in developing society for a better life.
 Encouraged to Practice Right Values and Good Conduct All the Times
–The two key concepts in ethics are "right" and "good." Generally speaking, something is "right" if it is
morally required, but it is morally "good" if it is worthwhile to own or do and improves the lives of those
who do.
2. Come up with a list of five common Filipino values. Consider the strengths and
weaknesses of each of these values. (5 pts.)
 Family- oriented
Strength: Strong affection and appreciation. People in strong families deeply care for one another, and they
let each other know this on a regular basis
Weakness: For example, parents who are over protective towards their children may result to conflictions.
Where their children may experienced a lack of freedom.
 Filipino Hospitality
Strength: It helps you build better relationships with people and provides a way for you to set a good
example. Basically, it's a way to show love to humankind.
Weakness: Being hospitable can sometimes attract the wrong kind of people. People may see you as weak
and you may forget to be nice to yourself.
 Respectful to the Elderly
Strength: Being disciplined and respectful to elders gives us confidence in terms of inner strength as it
needs a lot of self-control and patience.
Weakness: It conveys beliefs of inferiority and incompetency to older adults, instead of the admiration and
respect they deserve

 Religious Adherence
Strength: The practice of religion is good for individuals, families, states, and the nation. It improves health,
learning, economic well-being, self-control, self-esteem, and empathy.
Weakness: Prejudice, intolerance, and many forms of violence may occur when one another does not
respect the various religious doctrine of different individuals.
 Companionship (Pakikisama)
Strength:. Pakikisama entails a genuine intrinsic appreciation of togetherness. Group harmony and unity is
valued. People want to get along rather than stand out. If progress is achieved, it is for the entire group and no
one should be leftbehind.
Weakness: It also has its drawbacks when taken to the extreme. One might keep their opinions and
emotions to themselves to avoid conflict. This kind of silence prevents leaders from improving measures and
crafting well-rounded decisions that impact all the members.
3. Make a comment on this statement: “What I believe must be true if I feel very strongly
about it.” (5 pts.)
This statement particularly happened to me. The feeling where you regret the times where you strongly
believed in yourself but at the end, you have been persuade to do the wrong. For example, taking exam can
sometimes be so nerve-wracking and frustrating, especially on choosing the right answers. Then there are
instances when you firmly believed that you had the right answer, but you eventually modified it when your
seatmate mentioned it. The point is when you believe in something—when you believe it to your core or to the
bottom of your heart—your genuine actions speak for you. You should start by believing in yourself. When you
have confidence in yourself, you are able to support and believe in whatever your heart leads you to. You then
become passionate about defending your beliefs and principles.
