1. Why should we be moral? Elaborate your answer.
A person's morals are formed by their ideals. For people, values are the cornerstone of their
ability to distinguish right from wrong. A person's actions are guided by a set of moral norms
that are based on their particular situation. A person's life experiences and opinions form the
basis of these beliefs.
Now, why is it important for us to be moral? It is important for us to uphold moral principles
since, in the absence of such principles, individuals lack any kind of compass to guide them and
their lives can appear aimless. As a result, we ought to be moral in all we do. Parents and other
caregivers have a responsibility to ensure that the strong moral principles they instill in their
children are adopted as a way of life. This will increase the likelihood that their children will be
accepted and respected by society. The pursuit of morality is also motivated by a desire to
improve our lives and make them more fulfilling. Its purpose is to present us with a unified
vantage point from which we may reach a consensus on the actions that are appropriate for each
and every one of us.

II. Skill-Building Activity: Expository Essay

Situation chosen: Situation 1
Taking into consideration the situation, I would choose the right train that would bring me to
the group of three elderly people, and would choose to save the group of five children. If I were
to apply the principle of utilitarianism to this scenario, I would know that the decision I have
made is justified because it will result in the greatest amount of overall happiness for the largest
number of people. Nevertheless, if I were to use my own personal justification, I would say that
it is due to the fact that the three elderly people have already had their opportunities to live life
and have even achieved their ambitions. On the other side, the group of five children is just
beginning their journey to know what it is like to live, reach their goals and dreams, be an adult,
and all of the other related things.
