ACTIVITY #1
Instructions: Explain in not less than 3 sentences, but not more than 5 sentences, the following
statements.

1. Freedom demands responsibility.

In philosophy, law, and theology, it has long been thought that a person can only be held
morally responsible for their actions if they had the freedom to choose and act otherwise.To be
fully responsible for our own actions and for the consequences of those actions. Freedom to
choose carries with it the responsibility for our choices. As a result, many philosophers believe
that moral responsibility requires freedom.

2. Why only human beings can be Moral?

Only Human Beings Can Act Morally. Another reason for giving stronger preference to the
interests of human beings is that only human beings can act morally and determines the
presence of three essential conditions for ethical behavior: I the ability to anticipate the
consequences of one's own actions; (ii) the ability to make value judgments; and (iii) the ability
to choose between alternative courses of action.. This is considered to be important because
beings that can act morally are required to sacrifice their interests for the sake of others.

3. Give the distinction between Human Acts and acts of man.

A person's intentional, free, and deliberate activities are known as human acts.These are
actions that a man properly masters because he performs them fully aware and of his own
volition.Acts that are the result of a conscious decision. The repercussions of a man's actions
are entirely his responsibility. While man's acts are instinctual, such as physiological in
nature, it involves his duty and accountability for the consequences of his actions. These are
actions taken as a result of ignorance, passion, fear, aggression, or habit.Acts that are
performed by men without being master of them through his intellect and will, therefore acts
of man are involuntary actions.

4. Expound the concept of “Man as a moral person.”

Our proclivity to judge some activities as virtuous, or morally good, and others as evil, or morally
terrible, is referred to as the moral sense. As a result, morality is defined as the desire or proclivity to
judge human behaviors as either right or evil in terms of their repercussions for other people.
