ACTIVITY #3
Direction: Read and understand the module and answer the task given.
Instruction: Demonstrate a speech answering the question” How the Sources of authority affects
human obedience?”
Law, Religion, and Culture are three separate sources of authority. Human conduct is influenced by law
through various rules and regulations imposed by an authority person who demands compliance. Those
laws taught us lessons in everyday life, and because of them, we as humans feel at ease and experience
peace. However, the law cannot tell us what to pursue; it can only tell us what to avoid. Religion is one
of the most powerful influences on human obedience. We may adjust it from generation to generation
by maintaining a more radical form of this concept, which may go beyond these instruments of divine
revelation. Lastly, culture has an influence on ideas and traditions, resulting in a wide range of how
different individuals think it is appropriate to act. Someone may go even farther and argue that the
sheer variety of work and diverse methods of valuing it implies there is no single universal norm for such
differences.
ACTIVITY #4
Discussion Points and Exercise Questions
Direction: Read and understand the module and answer the task given.
Instruction: Evaluate the philosophical thought of two utilitarian models Betham and Mill
“Pleasure is what is moral and ethical.” Does pleasure here mean self-gratification?
The two utilitarian theories, Betham and Mill, discuss the moral value of actions and decisions.
They are based on the utility of results in determining whether an action is good or bad. It also
relates to how individuals interpret the outcomes of their actions. Pleasure is a method of
delivering justice in this philosophy since they chose to sacrifice individual rights for the
happiness of the majority. Pleasure encompasses both happiness and suffering. Utilitarianism
does not rule out sacrifice in order to provide happiness to those concerned. Individual rights
were constantly compromised in order for their models to be realized. Pleasure refers to the
enjoyment of a large number of individuals rather than self-gratification. It is morally and
ethically acceptable if we consider the advantages of many people, but not if the individual's
right is already unjustifiable.
ACTIVITY #5
(To be submitted on schedule)
Discussion Points and Exercise Questions
Direction: Read and understand this module. Provide what is being asked. Write your answer
in a 1whole sheet of yellow paper (Handwritten) .
Task: Written Exercise(50pts)
1.Make your own reflection on the Morality of Human Acts. (5 paragraphs, minimum of 25
sentences)
Freedom makes man a moral subject. When he acts deliberately, he is, so to speak, the
father of his acts. Human acts, that is, acts that are freely chosen in consequence of a judgment
of conscience, can be morally evaluated. The morality of a human act is its condition of being
good or bad. An act is good or bad depending on whether or not it leads man to his last end—
God—and therefore to his happiness. As we see, there is more in goodness than conforming to
nature. The good also has to do with unfolding a person’s possibilities; it is not static but
dynamic. Good signifies being and being more. Bad leads to being less and less.
To accomplish a good act, man makes use of his freedom to pursue an authentic good.
This good is established as such by divine wisdom, which orders every being toward its end. This
ordination that exists in God’s mind is called eternal law. Eternal law is known to us both by
means of man’s natural reason hence what man knows in this respect is called natural law, and
through God’s supernatural revelation.
In simple words, Morality of human acts is only judge by our Creator which is God. So
we better be the person that do good deeds here in earth to achieve the life of eternity with
God.
