Reflection Paper Ethics
Reflection Paper Ethics
BSA 1- E
TTh 7:40 – 9:10 AM
Honestly, I really did not find the subject Ethics interesting at first. But later as the
discussions progress, I learned to appreciate its essence. It was the session when we were given
moral dilemmas that really puzzled my mind and invited me on a deep reflection on what stand
will I take knowing that there are a lot of factors to consider. It is true that all choices really have
their corresponding advantages and disadvantages but how do we really weigh such things to arrive
at a sound decision? This is what ethics studies on. In our discussion, it is defined as a branch of
philosophy that studies and evaluates human conduct.
In our present society, ethics has become an impossible element somehow. Some do not
consider it as a priority nor a vital value to practice for people tend to focus just on their personal
interests not considering the welfare of others. By studying ethics, we could be guided in making
decisions, leading us to the more appropriate path.
