HUMAN ACT
Human acts are actions preforms by a person who is acting knowingly.
freely, and willfully. These actions are deliberate, intentional, and voluntary. They
are differentiated from the acts of man which are instinctive and not under the
control of your free will.
An act is done knowingly when the doer is conscious and aware of the
reasons and the consequences of your actions. It means that you the performer of
an act is fully aware and conscious of your actions, regardless the nature of an act.
whether it is intrinsically good or intrinsically evil, the point here is that you the
agent know your actions, and much more you know what you are doing. In short,
you have complete knowledge before and after committing the act.
Based on the norms, every normal person on the age of reason is presumed
to act knowingly. However, children who are below the age of reason, the senile,
and the insane are considered incapable of moral judgment. Therefore, they are not
culpable on the consequences of their action.
According to Aristotle:
-The attribute of consciousness would involve being aware of the impact of one's donation and
the needs of the charitable cause.
-The attribute of freedom would entail choosing to donate willingly, without being coerced or
forced to do so.
-The attribute of responsibility would mean taking ownership of the decision to donate and
accepting the consequences, whether positive or negative.
-The attribute of intention would involve donating with the intention of helping others and
contributing to the greater good.
-The social context would include considerations of how the donation fits into broader societal
needs and values.

The evilness of an immoral act
Intrinsic and extrinsic evil
immortal acts are either intrinsically or extrinsically evil.
- An act that is considered evil when its wrongfulness is part of its
nature, such as the act of stealing, because it consists in depriving
someone of his property against his will, is called intrinsically evil.

- An act is extrinsically evil when it’s wrongfulness comes from an


outside factor. The act of alms-giving, through good in itself, is
extrinsically evil when it is done for purposes of building one’s public
image. This indicates that actions that are themselves good or neutral
Sales
may become evil due to external factors, whether this be the motive, the
person, or the circumstances of the act.

the act.
DIRECT VOLUNTARY
- refers to actions that are intentionally chosen and
performed by an individual with full awareness and
control.

INDIRECT VOLUNTARY
- refers to actions where the individual is aware of the
consequences, but they areSales
aware that their actions
could lead to certain results.
THE SIGNIFICANCE
OF HUMAN ACT
To sum up, it is good to note that human acts come from the intellect and the
will, they express the thoughts and desires of the person, revealing his moral
character. Therefore, people are judge by their actions. Thus we condemn a
person for his evil deed or praise him for doing well. We often hear people say
that they "condemn the sin but not the person" this statement is probably
acceptable if it means we should not rush to judge the guilt of the suspect. But
the statement above is wrong if it means we should not blame the person for
his/her evil deeds.
