grade 8!
Ms. Jamila Suliman
 How are you
feeling today?
 before we
proceed, let’s
watch this short
video
 WHAT DO YOU
THINK ABOUT THE
VIDEO?
MORAL ISSUES
 MORAL ISSUES
Moral means relating to beliefs about what is right or wrong.

Moral Issues are situations or actions that do not follow the

shared norms and values, culture, and beliefs determined by a
certain community or society.
 MORAL ISSUES
An issue becomes a moral issue if:
It is against the values, beliefs, and preferences of the people
in the society. 
It involves continued behavior problems that bring the person
repeatedly into conflict with the society. 
It involves actions which have the potential to harm others or
the persons themselves.
WHAT MORAL ISSUES
CAN YOU THINK OF?
 ACTIVITY!
“I COULDN’T AGREE/
DISAGREE MORE”
 DIRECTIONS
You will be divided into 4 groups. Each group will choose one member
for every round. The representatives from each group will first
stand in the middle and when the issue is given, they will choose if
they agree or disagree.
NOTE: No wrong answers!
Everyone’s opinion is respected.
STEALING
 STEALING
Stealing is an act of taking away someone else’s possession
without permission. It is morally and illegally wrong as it is
against the ethical standard of the society and it also violates
the law of the land.
USING ANIMALS IN
EXPERIMENTS
 using animals
in experiments
Animal experiments are considered morally wrong because
animals rights are violated. Animal testing has been a common
happening before when the field of science was still new but
modern scientists have agreed that this is now unethical and
immoral.
LYING
 LYING
Lying is the act of telling a false statement instead of the
truth. This has always been morally wrong because lying is
used to cheat or trick people. A recent study shows that
96% of teenagers lie to their parents and other adults. This
shows that lying is one of the most common moral issues.
ABORTION
 ABORTION
Abortion involves the termination of pregnancy. While other
countries consider abortion as legal, it is a moral issue in the
Philippines and is regarded a grievous sin. This action is
against the norms and values of the people, the church, and
the society. It is illegal under the law of the land and is
highly condemned.
PRE-MARITAL
RELATIONSHIP
 PRE-MARITAL RELATIONSHIP
A pre-marital relationship is formed when two different
people have an agreement to know and understand each
other and create a bond before they take the decision to
marry. This is now common in our society but in terms of
religion and other views, it is considered to be morally wrong
and violates the purity of marriage.
PERFORMANCE
TASK
“i see the problem”
Look for one moral issue in your
community and create a poster on a
short bond paper. At the back, don’t
forget to write your name, section, and
create YOUR OWN title for your poster.
Be creative!
