1. Explain the scope of Ethics

- Ethics is about figuring out what’s right and wrong. It’s like a set of rules that help people decide how to
act in a way that’s good and fair to others. Ethics also helps us make decisions about things like helping
others, and or telling the truth. It’s like having a guide for making sure we do the right thing, even when no
one is watching. In short, ethics is about choosing to do the right thing and treat others kindly and fairly.

2. Explain the branches of Ethics and provide examples in the Philippine context.

3. Descriptive Ethics – Also called comparative ethics; is the study of what people believe about morality,
without judgment.
Ex: Most people in the Philippines believe that cutting your nails at night is bad.

4. Normative Ethics – It is the study of how people ought to behave, or what is morally right and wrong.
Ex: It is wrong to seek revenge to your brother because he laughed at you while getting scolded for
spending your money at the computer shop.

A. Virtue Ethics – It is a moral theory that focuses on a person's character and virtues, rather than rules
or duties.
Ex: Returning home from the store for the money you forgot because your mother asked you to buy
coke.

B. Deontology Ethics – Also known as duty-based ethics, is a moral theory that judges actions based on
whether they adhere to a set of rules, rather than the consequences of those action.
Ex: Handing out relief goods after the super typhoon.

C. Consequential Ethics – is an ethical theory that judges actions based on their consequences. It states
that the rightness or wrongness of an action is determined by the good or bad results it produces. In
short, the end justifies the means.
Ex. They thought killing General Juan Luna would save the lives of many.

5. Meta Ethics – It is the study of the nature of morality, including values, judgments, and beliefs.
Ex: Most people in the Philippines agrees that abortion is morally wrong.

6. Applied ethics – It is the application of ethics to real-world situations, or practical ethics.


Ex: Consider the food shortage, in which the only way for the family of 10 to eat is to put more water
than needed in cooking instant noodles.
