1. How important is the ETHICS principle assigned to your group in applying to our daily experiences?

As per my experience in learning STOICISM Ethics, I can attest that it is really crucial to learn it
since it has had a significant influence on the lives which we dwell. Knowing the fact that when I first
learned about STOICISM ethics, it appeared to me that it had a lot of considerations to tell and to be
completely honest, it did not become easy for me to take its approach, but as I took steps to study it, I
discovered that its concept makes it more interesting to live in because it can be applied to the things
that we gradually experience throughout our lives.

Quite apart from that, as being one of the presenters on this specific subject, I quickly find its
value and worth in many instances, most notably in persuading a good life in widely accepted, because
Stoicism ethics urged me to believe that in order for us to live happily, we must live in an ambience of
great activities, we must do the right thing whereas trying to seek the things that offer us pleasure,
hence doing it in a way that is widely acceptable and no one is getting harm upon doing it, which could
readily respond how it plays an essential part in trying to pursue a good life.

Aside from what I have stated above, one of its aspects that I can truly attest to telling everyone
how important this STOICISM principle in our lives is its concept of desiring less, which I believe may
contribute to the importance of living a decent life. And, if I am not mistaken, it can also be applied in
our daily experience. Besides, if we desire less, we may anticipate less, which may allow us to decrease
the suffering that what we desire might create. Additionally, Stoicism taught me that in order to live a
good life, we must be conscious of the fact that everything we think, say, and do has consequences for
ourselves and others. Due to the fact that everything is interconnected, our action is like waves on a
river; it will surely spread out and touch others even if we are not aware of it. In that sense, we must be
more wary and understand that our actions have everlasting consequences—points at which our
thoughts and actions clash with reality.

2. In what ways Utilitarian Ethics can be applied? Create specific scenario.

From what I have understand from the reporters with the help of sir Mateo Macalaguing
utilitarianism is an ethical philosophy that focuses on results to decide what is right and wrong. It is
indeed a version of consequentialism. According to utilitarianism, the most ethical decision is the one
that produces the greatest benefit for the largest number of people.

Like for example, the recent hit-and-run incident about the SUV driver who intentionally
rammed the security guard when he attempted to stop it near a mall at the intersection of Julio Vargas
Avenue and St. Francis Street in Mandaluyong which is caught by a dashcam of a concern citizen. In that
scenario, we can apply the principle of Utilitarian Ethics about punishment or consequences, since
according to the utilitarian view of punishment, criminals should be punished in order to discourage, or
"deter," future misconduct. Where in this kind of philosophy holds that offenders should be punished
because they deserve it. Consider that the driver of the white SUV had two options at that point: either
instantly stop driving and speak with the security guard or do what he did, which was to drive his car
and endanger the security guard or the enforcer. In that situation, I saw the driver truly embody
utilitarianism, because he chose to harm the driver rather than stop because he is with his friend and if
they stop, they will both be punished, so in that sense, the driver chooses the large number who will be
benefited in the situation and he choose themselves because it became two versus one in the scenario
that occurred, which became most ethical decision for the driver at that time.

To sum it up, the reckless driver had an option at that moment, which was to do the wrong or
right thing, but because he chose the wrong thing, he must face the consequences, because I am
confident that when he made that choice, he was aware of the potential implications of his actions. As
well as, one of the utilitarian concepts, consequences count and will always matter. Knowing that by
simply thinking the result or outcome makes the action moral. And it can also be related to the concept
of "the ends justifies the means," because what the driver did continues to serve as a call to the LTO to
provide a wide protection for their staffs by providing them with a "body cam," because if that incident
was not captured by a dashcam by a concerned citizen, it would make absolutely no sense at all, since
according to my research, the driver is the son of a wealthy man living here in the Philippines, and I am
completely aware that here in my country status in life somehow wins, however this notion of
utilitarianism that "it is okay to do something wrong if the final result is something very good.” Is an idea
that I cannot entirely say that what the driver did was okay, but as such incidents are unavoidable, they
acted as a wake-up call to Land Transportation Office to have complete security on their workers, which
for me, that situation somehow speaks up for what is lacking— which is the entire protection for the
workers and the place itself, for the reason that if that kind of incident did not happen at all, it is safe to
say that the system will continue to be like that and nothing will change with regards to their security.

3. How we can take advantage of the Nietzsche Power Ethics?

From what I have gained from the idea of Nietzsche Power Ethics is its notion about will power
which we could truly say that we are taking advantage of it, that can entirely help us understand the
word “morality” since from almost four months and half that I have been dealing with this course, only
this topic made me realized the true essence of morality. Knowing that there are several different
perspectives on what morality is, but Nietzsche's is the one I believe is closest to the reality. Nietzsche
totally assessed all moral standards and came to the conclusion that there is still some actual worth in
the world. Ethics has always appeared to be complicated and to be contained within a small "shell."
Nietzsche goes above the usual, and morality is kept outside the "frame." ARE
