LESSON 1

Exploring the Effects and Implications

OVERVIEW
Key officials from the government are concerned about the
negative impact of excessive violence on children's television
viewing habits. An estimated 18,000 simulated murder scenes
are viewed by children by the time they reach 18 years old,
prompting the Department of Education Secretary to
implement guidelines under the Children's Television Act of
1997 to regulate TV shows and promote child-friendly
programs, aiming to shape children's values as they grow.
Luistro's claim highlights the vulnerability of children to the
negative effects of violent TV content due to their incomplete
mental and personal development. Continuous exposure to
violence on TV may lead children to perceive such acts as normal
and acceptable, potentially leading to imitation of violent
behavior. Studies, including those by the American Academy of
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, have documented the harmful
impact of TV violence, including desensitization and the
adoption of violence as a problem-solving method among
children.
 How can TV Violence Affects Us?

Watching TV violence can affect us in several ways. It can

desensitize us to violence, making us less bothered by it.
Additionally, it might lead us to believe that violent behavior
is acceptable or even normal. Continuous exposure to
violent content may also increase feelings of aggression in
some individuals. Therefore, it's crucial to be mindful of the
type of content we consume and its potential impact on our
thoughts and behavior.
 WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
1. Limit exposure to violent content
2. Prioritize positive programming
3. Monitor children's viewing habits
4. Teach media literacy in schools
5. Advocate for stricter regulations on TV content

as the Ultimate
Purpose of Man
LESSON 2
Short biography

Aristotle (384-322 B.C.E.) was a Macedonian

philosopher who studied under Plato in Athens.
He was regarded as the most brilliant of Plato's
students at the Academy.
Aristotle established his own school called the
Lyceum, where he wrote extensively on various Aristotle
subjects including science, logic, and ethics.
Notably, he served as the tutor to Alexander the
Great, who sought to conquer vast territories.
Aristotle's significant contribution to moral
philosophy includes his renowned work, the
Nicomachean Ethics.
Aristotle's Theory
of Happiness
Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics explores
eudaimonia, or happiness, as humanity's ultimate
aim, achieved through virtuous living. Departing
from other ethical frameworks, Aristotle
emphasizes the cultivation of virtuous character
traits for a fulfilling life. Today, we delve into
Aristotle's philosophy to uncover the interplay
between virtue, happiness, and ethical conduct.
virtue ethics
Aristotle's virtue ethics highlights the importance
of character development and habitual virtuous
actions.
Unlike rule-based ethics, virtue ethics prioritizes
cultivating moral virtues like courage and
temperance for a good life.
Our discussion explores how Aristotle's emphasis
on character shapes ethical decision-making.
Through this exploration, we aim to understand
the significance of virtues in guiding moral
behavior according to Aristotle's philosophy.
 Aristotle's Criteria for
the Highest Good
Aristotle defines criteria for recognizing the highest good of man: it must be final and self-sufficient.
- Aristotle establishes criteria for the highest good, emphasizing its finality and self-sufficiency.
The highest good serves as an ultimate end, not a means to achieve further ends.
- The highest good must be pursued for its own sake rather than as a means to an end
Happiness, or eudaimonia, meets these criteria, being chosen for its own sake and considered self-
sufficient.
- Happiness, or eudaimonia, fulfills these criteria as it is pursued for its own sake and is self-sufficient
It encompasses all other goods and is desirable in itself.
- Happiness encompasses all other goods and is inherently desirable
Aristotle emphasizes that happiness is not pursued for the sake of other goods.
- Happiness is not pursued for the sake of other goods or ends
Ultimately, happiness is deemed the ultimate goal of human existence.
- Ultimately, happiness is considered the ultimate goal of human existence
