Reflection on
Chapter1- Lesson 3 (Senses of Self)

Now I have a better understanding of subjective ethics and how it differs after reading and
watching the video lecture of lesson three. Subjectivity, on the other hand, is prone to intrapersonal
moral interpretations within me. It reflects the close relationship between my morality and my
feelings and my opinions, and it can even deal with the moral viewpoints I encounter. Subjectivism
may allow people who disagree about the rightness or wrongness of a particular issue to see that
the real issue is their own preferences, not objective truth. Subjectivism seems to imply that moral
statements only reveal my feelings about moral issues. When I genuinely approved of lying says
"telling lies is good," that moral statement is unquestionably correct. It would only be false if I did
not believe in lying.

All behaviors, according to psychological egoism, are motivated by my self-interest. In

other words, it implies that all of my actions, my behavior, or decision is motivated by my self-
interest or my own will. If I’m doing what I'm motivated to do is always self-serving, then all of
my actions are self-serving in some way. For me the example of ethical egoists is that I will try to
quit excessive using mobile phones because I recognize that over used is harmful to my long-term
self-interest. Ethical egoism does not advocate doing whatever you want; rather, it encourages you
to act in your best interests, which are objective and rational.
