Part 1.1 Course Description

Principles of ethical behavior in modern society at the level of the person, society, and in interaction with the environment and other shared
resources.

Morality pertains to the standards of right and wrong that an individual originally picks up from the community. The course discusses the context and
principles of ethical behavior in modern society at the level of individual, society, and in interaction with the environment and other shared resources. The
course also teaches students to make moral decisions by using dominant moral frameworks and by applying a seven-step moral reasoning model to analyze
and solve moral dilemmas.

The course is organized according to the three (3) main elements of the moral experience: (a) agent, including context - cultural, communal, and
environmental; (b) the act; and (c) reason or framework (for the act). (CMO 20 S 2013)

Part 7. Course Policies

1. Respect means a lot. Pay attention to the discussant and be polite to everyone in the google classroom.
2. Students must contribute and participate actively in each discussion.
3. Give your best on every given task, submit your assignments on time, participate in classroom discussions, and study hard. Show that you care and
determined to learn.
4. Be on time and attend the class regularly. Students who attend class regularly and arrive on time tend to do better work and understand more.
5. Submit activity sheets on or before their due dates. You will be duly informed and reminded about the deadline for each activity sheet. Late
activity sheets will be accepted, provided there is a valid reason for the delay. However, they cannot be awarded the highest possible score.
6. Do your activity sheet assignments by your own, but you can ask other ideas if you needed and as your additional learning.
7. If you “borrow” or use an idea from another source (meaning someone other than yourself), be sure to cite that source (or sources). Enclose
quoted material in quotation marks or use italics and write the source. But as much as possible, paraphrase, do not lift. Be reminded that as per
LSPU policy, plagiarism can be grounds for suspension or expulsion.

10. Always keep a duplicate copy of your activity sheets in your files just in case you need to resubmit them (e.g., they are lost in transit; or there is a
technological glitch).
11. In case of absences, you need to ask your subject teacher for your missed activities.
12. Wear decent clothes during live discussion.
