1.

Using the principles of logical reasoning and critical thinking,

explain your stand on the issues of
a. same sex marriage.
I might say I don't agree with marriage between same sex gender. I think marriage should be
between a man and a woman, like what the Church has always said. I just want to make things
clear that I don't want to treat anyone unfairly. I just want to follow the old teachings of the
catholic, even though some might not agree. I would say it's really important to be nice and kind
to everyone, no matter who they like or how they feel. Just like families with a mother and
father are important for kids. I want to talk about these things in a nice and understanding way,
but still keeping the important things the Church believes in.

b. divorce
What I think about divorce could be looking at how happy and okay people feel in their
relationship. If being together makes people really sad, hurt, or not happy, I might think about
divorce to take care of my own feelings and peace of mind. I might also think about how my kids
feel because of the relationship. If the unhealthy relationship is making them feel not good, I
might think about divorce so they can grow up in a better place. If I think that stopping the
relationship is needed to make my future better, I might think about divorce as a good choice.

c. abortion
What I think about abortion is that it's really important for women to make choices about their
own bodies. I would say that everyone should be able to decide what happens to their body, like
if they want to have a baby or not. This way of thinking knows that every baby’s situation is
different, so the person who is involved should choose what will happens. If we help people get
safe and abortions that are allowed by the law, I think we can take care of all the mothers when
they're in tough situations. I think people know what's best for them because they understand
their own situations and what they believe in. People can have a freedom and decide about
their own body, and they shouldn't be told what to do or judged for it.
2. Have you experience a moral dilemma? What made you say it is a
true moral dilemma? How would you have (or how did you) solve it
using Davis' seven-step guide to ethical decision-making?
Yes, one time I had a dilemma in the past. My friend trusted me, but I also needed to help with
a problem that worried me. It was a tough choice because I had two things, I cared about a lot
like keeping my friend's trust and making sure other people were okay. I learned all I could
about what was happening and thought about what might happen if I did something. After that,
I understood the problem - that I had to choose between being a good friend and helping with
something that worried me. I thought about different things I could do, like talking to my friend
about what worried me without telling others or asking someone I trust for advice. I decided to
talk to my friend about what was bothering me. I told them honestly how I felt and that I still
really wanted us to be friends. Talking to my friend helped me take care of them and also do
what I knew was right as a good person. I learned that making good choices means thinking a
lot, understanding others, and promising to do what's good, even when things are hard.

3. What do you think makes you a moral agent? What makes a person
of legal age to be not considered as a moral agent?
What lets me do the right thing is that I can choose what's good using what I know is right. A
person who does good things knows that what they decide affects others, and they make sure
to do the right things. It's about caring about others, being kind, and knowing what's good and
what’s wrong. A person of legal age might not be someone who can always make good choices
if they don't understand what happens because they have problems like not being able to think
clearly. Being someone who does good things isn't just about being grown-up it's about being
able to think and feel and choosing what's right.

4. In terms of culture, what cultural values are proud of as a Filipino?

Why? What cultural values of Filipinos would you like to change if
given a chance?
I’m proud of the Bayanihan culture, helping and being together when things are hard is
something that makes us who we are as Filipinos. It's nice to see how we all help each other,
whether there's a big problem or we're happy about something.
If I could, I would want us to think about feeling shy or embarrassed in a different way. Feeling
shy can sometimes stop us from doing what we want. I think that being confident and being
yourself, while still being nice to others, can make our world better and let everyone join in.
5. At such a young age, discuss three (3) instances when you think you
made a bad decision in life. Why did you come up with such decisions
and what were your efforts to correct your mistake or avoid making
the same mistake again?
(1) I didn't realize how much I needed to be good at managing my time for school. I did other
things first and then I felt like I had too much to do, and it was hard. To fix this, I learned to do
the important things first, make goals that make sense, and be better at using my time.
(2) When I saw someone being bully to another person, I didn't say anything. I felt bad that I
didn't say something to help. This made me learn how important it is to talk and do something
if something's not fair. I learned how to help and speak up for others, and now I'm working to
make sure people are nice and treat each other well in my group.
(3) I made a choice really quickly without thinking about what would happen later. I understood
that it's good to think a lot before deciding and ask people I know for help. Now, I think about
the pros and cons about choices and how they might change what happens later.

6. How do you think will you apply your learnings (from lesson 1-6) in
your life (presently) and in your future career?
I will follow these principles to help me understand and handle myself more, by following these
principles, I will make a better environment to work where people can talk openly, things are
fair, and everyone acts in a good way. I will try my best to follow what's right and make choices
that people we help feel good.

7. Discuss at least 3 ways in which feelings guide your moral decisions.

(1) Intuition- Sometimes, I trust what my feelings inside tell me to make good choices. Our
feelings give us little hints about what could be good or not. Listening to these feelings helps me
make choices when things are hard, even if I don't understand everything.
(2) Empathy- One big way my feelings help me make good choices is when I understand how
others feel, too. When I really care about how someone feels, I want to do kind and caring
things for them.
(3) Personal values- When I feel happy, good, or satisfied after choosing something, it usually
means I picked what's important to me. When I feel happy and like I did something good, it tells
me I did what I think is right.
8. What previous behaviors or life decisions have you made which you
consider as human acts and acts of man?
When it comes to human acts, when people do things, I think about how they show their
beliefs, kindness, and understanding for others. This means doing kind things, helping out for
important things, and being polite to everyone around us. These actions show that we have a
natural ability to connect with others and genuinely care about their well-being.
On acts of man, this can be understood as actions influenced by individual goals, wants, or a
focus on oneself. These actions might not follow our sense of what is right or have a good effect
on the world. This might include making choices that put one's own success before the well-
being of others, like treating people poorly to achieve personal goals or doing things that are
not right or fair.
