MODULE 1: ACTIVITY NO.

WRITTEN WORK: ESSAY

Name:Edrian Cotillon Date and Week No.:_____________ Score:___/

Grade, Strand, and Section: _____________________ Teacher: ______________________

Instructions: In no less than ten (10) sentences, answer each question through philosophical reflection. Answer it based on your own words.

  1. Is morality relative or absolute? Defend your answer.

Moral absolutism affirms that there are universal moral principles that can be used to judge the actions of all people. It is a type of morality. However, the problem with moral absolutism is that there will always be strong disagreements about which moral principles are correct and which are incorrect. For example, most people around the world probably agree that we should treat others as we would like to be treated. Aside from that, people from different countries are likely to hold differing opinions on issues ranging from the morality of abortion and capital punishment to nepotism and bribery. Moral absolutism is opposed to moral relativism, which denies the existence of absolute moral values. It also differs from moral pluralism, which advocates tolerance for the moral principles of others without concluding that all points of view are equally valid. As a result, while moral absolutism proclaims a universal set of moral values, moral principles vary greatly across nations, cultures, and religions. 2. If two people understand things differently, who is right? Explain.

It depends, in my opinion. I believe that if two people have different perspectives on something, both of them can be correct if they express their ideas in such a way that they can learn from each other. When two people understand things differently, they may make a mistake or lack

understanding, but this does not imply that they are incorrect. They simply require guidance and assistance from others who have the ability to know and share their knowledge about the subject. Understanding differently indicates that we are attempting to learn, but it merely distinguishes us at some point.

For example, we may have different perspectives because we were raised to believe that we should always respect people who were older than us. This means that we have a different perspective than those who believed we should respect the elderly. They want us to respect them, which I wholeheartedly support; however, if the elderly treat us with the humanity and respect we deserve, there is no reason for us to do the same. What I'm trying to say is that their idea of respecting the elderly is correct, but that doesn't mean we're wrong to not respect them if they don't treat us well, even if we already do.
