Utilitarianism:

Is every good commensurable? Can we weigh different goods using a common scale,
or is it possible that the value of some goods, such as love or hope, is not comparable
with the value of other goods, like money?

Answer: For me we cannot weigh the love or hope that we give to our love ones,
because if you love them there is no measurement or value that can change how you
love them or care for them. Yes now a days people measure how they treat you or will
accept you, but for me money its not a reason how you treat your love ones.

Do you think that pleasures should be counted -- even objectionable pleasures, like
the pleasures that terrorists derived from fundamentalists?

Answer: In my opinion, NO. Pleasure, even unpleasant pleasure, It should not be


considered. Because pleasure is very difficult to define and other people’s pain,
especially for those are long distance.

Are some pleasures objectionable? If a culture tolerates dog eating, should it be


allowed or not?

Answer: Base on what I know in the province they allow to eat/cook dogs.
Especially if the dog was hit by accident in the road, the owner of that dog sometimes
they decide to cook it. But of course its against the law, the animal cruelty.

If your group of friends derive pleasure from being sexist and giving sexist comments,
should it be tolerated?

Answer: If not harm and its not in the bad way I think its tolerable. If that’s the
way he/she express there comments towards that person. Sometimes, for us if we
express our opinion in sexist way other people think that we seducing them but for it’s
the best way to complement a person.

being a sharing to each other even it’s in a small way. This is adopt in the environment
that we surround, people and even the attitude.

What concerns emerge from the nature of human beings as rational?

Answer: Sometimes we argue to gain argumentative advantage over others, or


advantages to ourselves at the expense of those we argue with but more often reason
ways that are mutually advantageous.

Deontology: (Scenarios)

I am angry at another person because he said bad things about me, I want to do the
same by inventing bad things that he supposedly said and did, then telling others so
that their opinions about him change for the worse. But I am wondering, is that right or
wrong?

Answer: For me its wrong, Me when I angry on that person I would talk to him/her
personally. I will ask if why she/he do that to me, and tell them if they see bad about
they are free to talk to in person. But sometimes I stayed quite to avoid
misunderstanding. I will wait the time that I’m ready to talk and clarify the things that
he/she said about me.

Yesterday I was talking to a colleague about a technical problem that my organization


is facing, and she made a useful suggestion that will solve it. Today I am in a meeting
and my boss asks me for suggestions, so I mention the suggestion that my colleague
told me yesterday. My colleague is absent, so I can take credit for that suggestion, but
I am asking, is that right?

Answer: For me I will tell the truth to my boss that the suggestion that I suggest
to her is from my co worker I will not take the credit.

Virtue Ethics:

Identify a person within your circles of relationships that seem to manifest the
condition of happiness. Discuss why.

Answer: For me happiness is the feeling that you are free from all the thoughts
that will stress you. In my circle of friends they express to be broke, like they broken
heart because of the family.

"Madaling maging tao, mahirap magpakato" When did this saying become real in your
life?

Answer: That its easy to be a good person but its really hard to have a good
manner. Base on my experience there’s a lot of people will you encounter. Especially
those people who are borrowing you something then when time you need them they
all gone. Its so hard to be good to others nowadays because when you treat them like
good they will abuse you. My life lesson never trust other people, in these world you
only trust is you and yourself.
