B. MAIN LESSON
1. Perfect Duties. These are duties that do not allow exceptions and are universal which means that
they apply to all rational beings despite the consequences of the actions (e.g., ‘Lying’ is considered
universally wrong for communication with be difficult if everyone would lie, it would be difficult to
determine sincere and deceitful statements).
1. One of your colleagues was fired by your supervisor whom you despise and dislike. You were informed that
the fired colleague was a psychotic and wanted to kill your supervisor. In a meeting, the supervisor
confronted you about this gossip/information, and asked if you know something about it. If you were in this
situation, what would you do? Would you inform your supervisor, or would you lie since you dislike him/her
anyway?
I______________________________________________________________________________________
would tell my supervisor the truth. Even though I dislike and despise my supervisor, it is not right to hide
______________________________________________________________________________________
such information especially if it involves very horrendous intention. Despite the fact that we we're close, it
would be really concerning to hear something like that especially coming from someone who's very close to
______________________________________________________________________________________
you.

2. You were tasked by your teacher to collect the fees of your classmates for the upcoming field demonstration.
The money will be used to buy the props and other materials that your class needs for your
presentation/performance. The teacher informed you of the exact amount of the fee to be collected but did
not inform the class. If you were in this situation, what would you do? Would you collect the exact amount,
or would you add a few pesos because you are also in need of the money?
______________________________________________________________________________________
I would tell my classmates the exact amount of the props and other materials. Because raising the total
amount is an act of greediness. The consequences would be really bad, if one the students will ask the
______________________________________________________________________________________
teacher about the total amount and try to calculate each individual payment and eventually find that I am
______________________________________________________________________________________
lying.
