    Uploaded by

    Elaine Cunanan Madula
    This document discusses several topics related to ethics: 1. It is not necessary to follow all Filipino customs to be genuinely Filipino; what matters most is staying true to your country through love and service. 2. Religious notions of sin differ from philosophical understandings of morality in that morality can be derived from human shared status alone without external sources. 3. Kohlberg's highest stage of morality based on universal principles is an ideal and aspiration rather than a rule, as practical realities like human emotions cannot be ignored. 4. When making moral judgments with finite knowledge, one can be sufficiently informed by seeking advice from reputable sources, though conscience alone is not foolproof.

    ETHICS

    NAME: Madula, Maria Elaine C.


    CHAPTER VI
    TOPIC: SYNTHESIS: MAKING INFORMED DECISION
    DATE: June 16, 2020

    1. How can you be a Filipino if you do not follow Filipino customs?


     It does not necessarily mean that if you do not follow Filipino customs
    you are not a genuine Filipino. Actually, there are customs now that are
    not being observed but still one can remain a Filipino. You can be genuine
    by staying true to your country, loving your country, and doing what you
    can for your country.

    2. What is the distinction between a religious notion if sin and the philosophical
    understanding of immoral or unethical acts?
     The philosophical understanding of immoral or unethical acts generally
    revolve around treating people equally and always as ends in themselves
    instead of as merely means to an end. No external source of morality is
    required as it can be derived solely from our shared status as human
    beings.

    3. How realistic is Kohlberg's ideal of the highest stage of post-conventional


    morality, that of universal ethical principles, given a feelings and emotions are
    inseparable of human choice?
     It is itself unrealistic. An ideal of principles need not concern itself with
    realism. Such ideals are aspirations, goals, directions of effort, not rules to
    obey.
    The law has to attempt practical realism: a law left ignored or
    disobeyed fails its purpose. Laws can be broken; ideals cannot - they
    remain ideals even when remote.

    4. Given that human condition is one of finitude, how will you know that you are
    sufficiently informed when you finally make your moral judgment?
     You can always ask or take advice from reputable sources (people, books
    and etc.)As your conscience begins to be rightly formed, your conscience
    will ‘accuse you’ if you are making the wrong choice.
    The more you form your conscience the better you ‘know’ you are
    making a correct moral judgment, however, the more the risk, as well, of
    feeling proud and think that ‘you don't need advice anymore’.

    5. If a global ethic is currently emerging; does that mean that the true meaning of
    morality changes over time? Please explain your answer.
     Moral is a matter of personal view and social influence. On the matter of
    global ethic I am skeptic as we have too different trends (in terms of social
    equity, education, culture, economic, policies, etc.) to expect
    homogeneity and we should not even if it sounds pleasant. Instead all
    human being should participate in redefining what it is ethic and what is
    morally acceptable or not. That is our core responsibility as people, not
    corporations and mass-media one but ours.
    There is a no danger in moral agreement but in global ethic as we could
    certainly not agree worldwide on what is acceptable or not due to
    differences. The danger is stupid ideological battles, stupid deaths and
    suffering for those who could oppose to global ethic which is not actually
    the result of individual choice nor consent.

    6. Is there a difference between one's ethical responsibility toward fellow human


    and toward nonhuman nature? Please explain your answer
     No. But most humans are one-sided: they focus on the “responsibility”
    toward money and government, but never toward nature or humans.
    That’s why habitats are being lost and animals are going extinct, why
    the oceans are largely plastic now, and why so many people are
    depressed and suicidal. It’s why every person on earth is oppressed by
    other people right now. It’s why people think giving money is a “good
    deed”.
    Everyone thinks money is what’s important, but there is nothing ethical
    in money.
