I. Kinds of Valuation
• The best way to understand ethics is to get to know your
personal values.
• When we make value judgement based on our senses or
feelings, it is not related in the discussion of ethics.
• It is related to Aesthetic and Etiquette.
DAPHNY
ETHICS
It is more concern to human life & death and it’s
significant to human life.
 We cannot force someone to love what we
loved because we have different personal
feelings/senses.
 We need to understand the characteristics of
our personal choice and judgements.
 When we make judgements with facts, it’s
easy for us to understand the idea of ethics.
DAPHNY
 Understanding Ethics- is trivial in nature.
We need to have a lot of factors to consider
before making any judgements.
 We don’t make judgement based on our
feelings/senses.
STEPHANI
II. Understanding Ethics
and Morals
STEPHANI


Morals is our specific belief/attitudes, we act
based on what we believe.
If our beliefs is the same with others, it is
considered “moral” but if you fall short with the
expectations, it is considered “immoral”
MORALS
 Has it’s own deeper meaning of self because it
includes:
 MORAL REASONING
 MORAL JUDGEMENT
SHEENA JADE
ETHICS
 Is studying and understanding ideal ways of human
behavior and ideal ways of thinking.
 When you make judgement make sure that you are
able to think first before saying or doing anything.
MORAL ISSUE
 When we understand moral valuations, we may be
affected by some “moral issue”
 The way we are affected by moral issue depends on
our personal value.
SHEENA JADE
MORAL DILEMMA
 When we are confused with
our decision between right or
wrong. We are confronted
with “Moral Dilemma”
 Let us be careful in making
our decision so that we will
not end up choosing the
wrong one.


When you try to choose
what is right over wrong,
you need to assess your
level of reasoning.
Why? Because we are
“thinking thing”.
JENIMAE
How can we tell that our level of reasoning is
right or wrong?
 Fear of punishment
 Desire for reward
 We do something good because of the
reward and we avoid something bad
because of the fear of punishment.
 In some instances we should not rely
on these two aspects, because no
matter what is the reward or
punishment, we still do things that are
meant to do.
JENIMAE
 The way to understand ethics depends
on your personal values, your definition
of who you are.
 This is why, it’s really hard to judge one
another because you don’t know their
personal value in life.
 This is why we get so confused in
knowing right over wrong. To address,
we need our own moral theory and
guidance from our parents.
MUSHAIRA
What is moral theory?
 When you have your own moral theory, you now have
your structured/ framework ideas about what is good
or bad for you.
 We sometimes get confused in our decisions
between right or wrong to address these confusion,
there are (3) sources of authority:
I.
Authority of the law
II.
Authority of one’s religion
III. Authority of culture
MACY
The authority of the law
 It guides our ethical behavior.
 It gives objectives set of standards
to grow.
Authority of one’s religion
 It guides our ethical behavior in
doing the right thing and to avoid
the wrong one’s.
 To inspire us to good things in life.
MACY
Authority of culture
 In understanding ethics, you
need to understand the
difference in one’s culture.
 We cannot say that what they
are doing is wrong. If we
don’t embrace the idea of
culture differences.
JASMINE
 Before we make any judgements we need to
respect these three source of authority that will
guide our ethical behavior.
 Why? Because we have differences upbringing and
personal values in life.
However, understanding our ethical behavior should
not just rely on external sources, we should also look,
into our inner sources:
I. Subjectivism
II. Psychological egoism
III. Ethical egoism
MARY KRISHELL
Subjectivism
 You think that you are the sole determinant of your
ethical behavior.
 You are the sole responsible of your own and nothing
else.
Psychological Egoism
 You do things in the pursuit of your own self-serving
interest.
 Lets all be careful with how we think about things
because it may hamper us in life good things.
MARY KRISHELL
Ethical Egoism
 You are not focused only to yourself, but also to others
benefit.
 You are geared towards helping someone in a more
official way.
“Let us not become
weary in doing good,
for at the proper time
will reap a harvest if
we do not give up.”
