YUNITS: 3
COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course, following the framework set by the CHED Memorandum no. 20, Series 2013, otherwise known as the “General Education Curriculum: Holistic
Understandings, Intellectual and Civic Competencies”, deals with the “principles of ethical behavior in modern society at the level of the person,society and in
interaction with the environment and othershared resources.” This course guides the students to be both reflective and critical in their approach to the question and
application of morality, “what is a good act?.” To help the students think critically and ethically, this course provides both the normative theories of ethics and a
moral reasoning model. Representatives of both Western and Eastern traditions and paradigms in moral thinking will also be given to afford the students a broader
but also a more profound view in dealing with ethical questions and problems.. Also, this course presents discussions on the relation and application of ethics to
religion, environment, global justice, politics, and the millennial generation to afford the students a deeper appreciation and understanding of the relevance of ethical
thinking in the contemporary situation
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

CO1 Differentiate moral from non-moral actions.
