    Marion Macarius De Guzman
    The document discusses the concepts of freedom, responsibility, morality, and impartiality. It states that in a more comprehensive social order, individuals have greater responsibility and freedom. Their responsibility is greater because their actions have more consequences, while their freedom comes from more opportunities and ways to fulfill themselves. Additionally, it discusses that moral reasoning applies logic and theories to determine right and wrong in situations, and that impartiality means making decisions based on objective criteria rather than bias. It provides guidelines for handling conflicts by choosing the stronger obligation, more important ideal, or action that produces greater good or lesser harm.

    Foundation of Morality:

    Freedom-responsibility for
    one’s act and to others
    Rodriguez, Arman
    Mangay, John Cedric
    BSA1B
    Responsibility & Freedom
    The more comprehensive and diversified the social order, the
    greater the responsibility and the freedom of the individual. His
    freedom is the greater, because the more numerous are the
    effective stimuli to action, and the more varied and the more
    certain the ways in which he may fulfill his powers. His
    responsibility is greater because there are more demands for
    considering the consequences of his acts; and more agencies for
    bringing home to him the recognition of consequences which
    affect not merely more persons individually, but which also
    influence the more remote and hidden social ties.
    LIABILITY
    Freedom and responsibility have a relatively superficial and
    negative meaning and a relatively positive central meaning. In
    its external aspect, responsibility is liability

    EFFECTIVE FREEDOM
    Exemption from restraint and from interference with overt action
    is only a condition, though an absolutely indispensable one, of
    effective freedom.
    LEGAL AND MORAL
    Positive responsibility and freedom may be regarded as moral,
    while liability and exemption are legal and political. A particular
    individual at a given time is possessed of certain secured
    resources in execution and certain formed habits of desire and
    reflection. In so far, he is positively free.
    Minimum requirement for
    Morality:
    Reasons and Impartiality
    Moral reasoning
    • Applies critical analysis to specific events to determine what is
    right or wrong, and what people ought to do in a particular
    situation. Both philosophers and psychologists study moral
    reasoning.
    • Applies logic and moral theories, such as deontology or
    utilitarianism, to specific situations or dilemmas.
    Impartiality also called even-handedness
    A principle of justice holding that decisions should be based on
    objective criteria, rather than on the basis of bias, prejudice, or
    preferring the benefit to one person over another for improper
    reasons.
    Keep the following rough guidelines
    in mind when handling cases of
    conflicting obligations, ideals, and
    effects
    1. When two or more moral obligations conflict, choose the
    stronger one.
