Activity # 1

1.
● Philosophy, in its widest sense, is an activity wherein individuals strive to know
fundamental facts regarding oneself, the reality of the world, and our relations to the
world and to one another.
● The study and/or creation of an appropriate skills of 'orders' or standards by which people
have to live is indeed the subject of the discipline of philosophy study known as 'ethics.'
Some people do not consider the academic study of ethics to be vital for either of them to
carry out their daily actions.
● Morality is more frequently associated with how people handle their own, personal
matters, particularly in respect to personal finance credibility, legal behavior, and
appropriate social standards such as integrity, honesty, and physical appropriateness.
2. The study of ethics is found primarily in the branch of philosophy, specifically in the
subdiscipline of 'moral philosophy,' and this is where our story begins. Philosophical inquiry is
concerned with the systematic and organized examination of human belief systems. The practice
of asking and responding to questions about belief systems is thus critical to philosophical study.
It is not enough to just 'learn' those answers offered by other philosophers! 'Ethics,' a discipline
of philosophy, is concerned with questions of how human beings should lead their lives and what
would be 'right' or 'wrong.'
3.In common circumstances, the terms 'ethics' and'morality' are not always applied regularly and
accurately, and its common definitions do not always correspond to philosophers' uses of the
terms. Ethics is frequently associated with organizational activity and professional codes, such as
medical and business ethics, which also are frequently formalized in the shape of detailed sets of
rules or regulations defining how personnel are supposed to behave in respective positions.
Morality, on the other hand, has been more frequently associated with how people behave their
own, private lives, particularly in respect to personal financial trustworthiness, lawful conduct,
and suitable social standards.
4.Bribes, improprieties, questions of honor and fairness, and whistle-blowing are all instances of
ethical concerns in the workplace.
● Unethical leadership is a problem.
-It's another one to have a personal disagreement with your supervisor, but it's another to
expose someone who is acting unethically. This can be explicit, such as manipulating
data in a report or using company cash for unrelated purposes; however, it could also be
covert, such as bullying, accepting unethical gifts from suppliers, or being requested to
skip a simple operation just once.
● It's a Toxic Workplace Culture
-Businesses with unethical executives are far more likely to have a toxic workplace.
Bosses who don't mind accepting bribes, falsifying sales figures, or pressuring workers or
business contacts for "favors" (personal or financial) will treat their people with
disrespect and abuse.

● .Thomas Aquinas was a Dominican friar, theologian, and Doctor of the Church who was
born in what is now the Lazio region of Italy in the 13th century. The concept of natural
theology is his most significant contribution to Western thinking (sometimes referred to
as Thomism in tribute to his influence).
● Born in the northern part of ancient Greece, Aristotle is widely regarded as one of the
most important and influential thinkers and teachers in human history, and is often
referred to as the "Father of Western Philosophy" alongside his mentor, Plato. His
writings and ideas on metaphysics, ethics, knowledge, and methodological inquiry are at
the very foundation of human thought.
● Confucius, a Chinese teacher, writer, and philosopher, saw himself as a conduit for the
imperial dynasties' theological concepts and values that came before him. Confucius
pushed for a manner of life that reflected a spiritual and religious tradition, but was also
decidedly humanist and even secularist, with a focus on family and societal peace.
● Descartes' belief in all things that aren't absolutely certain, emphasizing the
comprehension of what can be known for sure; one of the key inspirations in the
Scientific Revolution.
● The transcendentalist movement's founder is Ralph Waldo Emerson. Rejected society's,
materialism's, and organized religion's pressures in favor of independence, freedom, and a
personal focus on the soul's relationship
