2. Principles / Laws

1. The greater the knowledge and the freedom, the greater the voluntariness and the moral

responsibility; i.e. Spiderman 3

2. Invincible ignorance renders an act involuntary; i.e. waiter

3. Vincible ignorance does not destroy, but lessens the voluntariness and the corresponding

accountability over the act. i.e. waiters suspicion

4. Affected ignorance, though it decreases voluntariness, increases the accountability over the

resultant act. i.e.

childs refusal to be guided by the parents

Ethical Principles:


10/33

5. Antecedent passions do not always destroy voluntariness, but they diminish accountability for the

resultant act. i.e. destierro;

6. Consequent passions do not lessen voluntariness, but may even increase accountability. i.e. sexually-

aroused young man committed rape.

7. Acts done out of fear is voluntary. i.e.

Man can control his fears;

8. Acts done because of intense fear or panic are involuntary. i.e. Panic causes a person to lose

complete control of himself.

Ethical Principles:

9. External actions, or commanded actions, performed by a person subjected to violence, to which

reasonable resistance has been offered, are involuntary and are not accountable; i.e. self-defense;

10. Elicited acts, or those done by the will alone, are not subject to violence and are therefore

voluntary. i.e. heroic acts; tortured?;

11. Actions done by force of habit are voluntary in cause, unless a reasonable effort is made to

counteract the habitual inclination. i.e. Act caused by bad habit is evil;

Ethical Principles:

12. Bonum ex integra causa, malum ex quoculque defectu.

(A thing is good if it has the fullness of its parts and it is bad when it is deficient in any of its integral

parts.);

*A human act is good when it is good in itself, in its motiveor purpose, and in its circumstances.

13. The end (motive) does not justify the means (action). A-la Robin Hood;

Ethical Principles:

14. An evil act which is done on account of an evil motive is grievously wrong;

15. A good action done on account of an evil motive becomes evil itself;

16. A good action done on account of a good purpose acquires an additional merit;

17. An indifferent act may either become good or bad depending on the motive.

Paul Glen considers a person accountable for indirectly voluntary results of his acts when:

1. The doer is able to foresee the evil result or effect, at least, in a general way;

2. The doer is free to refrain from doing that which would produce the foreseen evil;

3. The doer has moral obligation not to do that which produces an evil effect.

Panizos Cited Principles


11/33

1. A person is held morally responsible for any evil effect which flows from the action itself directly

and necessarily as a natural consequence, though the evil effect is not directly willed or intended;

2. A human act from which two effects may result, one good and one evil, is morally permissible

under four conditions. If any of these conditions is violated, then the action is not justifiable and should

not be done.

Here are the four conditions:

1. The action which produces double effects must be good in itself, or at least morally indifferent.

i.e. Action > good & bad = good;

2. The good effect must not come from the evil effect. To do evil in order to achieve something

good is not justified. i.e. Evil action > good effect = bad;

3. The motive of the doer must be towards the attainment of the good. The evil effect is permitted

only as an incidental result. i.e. Good motive > either good effect = good or evil effect = bad;

4. The good effect must outweigh the evil result in its importance. i.e. Action > good effect isgreater than evil result = good

Kants The Categorical Imperative:

Act as if the maxim from which you act were tobecome, through your will, a universal law of nature.

* To test whether your act is good, universalize it. If the result is universally good, then the act is good. If

not, then, its the other way around.

HOW CONSCIENCE OPERATES

Ethical Principles:

Choosing Out Values:

1. Permanent or lasting values must be preferred over temporary or perishable values; i.e.

education over courtship;

2. Values favored by a greater number of people must be preferred over those that appeal only to

a few, i.e. discipline over personal freedom;

3. Values that are essential must be preferred over those that are accidental. i.e. character over

beauty;

4. Values that give greater satisfaction must be preferred over those that provide short-lived

pleasures. i.e. Journalism over fanatical devotion to a movie star.

Ethical Principles:

Work for the sake of salary kills creativity;

No God in your life, no good life;


12/33

It is only when man conquers his greed and pride that he discovers the fundamental truths of

life;

Man is the microcosm of the whole universe;

molecules in mine. There is a single force moving in all of us.Dan Brown

Libel differs from slander, but they are both evil;

He who is himself destitute is not bound to help the needy;

Ethical Principles:

18. Negative duties arising from negative natural law admit no exemption; i.e. murder, stealing;

19. Affirmative duties arising from affirmative precepts of natural law admit exemptions when the

act is rendered impossible under certain circumstances or would involve excessive hardships on the

person. i.e. Sick father, destitute relatives are excused;

20. Ordinary hardships which come along with the performance of a duty do not exempt one from

complying with such duty. i.e. Student who finds difficult to get a ride;

Ethical Principles:

21. Duties towards God must be given priority over those towards men;

22. Duties that secure public order or common good have priority over those that safeguard the

individual;

23. Duties towards family and relatives take precedence over those towards strangers;

24. Duties of greater importance take precedence over those of lesser importance. i.e. honor over

material profit;

25. Duties based on higher laws take precedence over those coming from lower laws. i.e.

Constitutional Law over a

municipal ordinance;

Ethical Principles:

The duty to preserve ones life implies the duty to work;

The State has no right to uphold the death penalty unless it has done all in the power to give

better education and to care for a more just and humane environment.Bernard Haring;

The head of the snake may be smitten off in order to save the life of a man;

THREE BASIC QUESTIONS IN ECONOMICS

What to produce;

How to produce (and how much);

For whom to produce.

SCOPE OF ECONOMICS

Microeconomicsexamines the

functioning of individual industries and the behavior of decision-making units, i.e. business firms and

households, (It looks and examines a tree.);

Macroeconomicslooks at the economy as a whole. i.e. balance of trade, GNP. (It sees and

analyzes the forest.)

Economic Laws

Law of Diminishing Returnsas successive units of labor or capital or both are applied to a given

piece of land, a point is reached when each additional unit of these productive factors will fail to yield a

proportionately increased return;

The Law of Populationthe size of population is chiefly determined by the degree of prosperity

enjoyed, the ability of a nation to support its inhabitants;

Malthusian Doctrine of Population

Population has a constant tendency to increase beyond the means of subsistence.

Population increases in geometric ratio as the numbers

1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256 while subsistence increases in an arithmetic ration as the numbers

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 every 25 years;

Economic Laws

Law of Demandthe quantity of any good which buyers are ready to purchase varies inversely

with the price of the good;

Law of Diminishing Utilitythe utility of a good diminishes as additional units of the good are

consumed;

Law of Diminishing Productivitywhenever one, or more, of the factors of production are

unchanged while the other factor, or factors, are varied, there will be an increasing output per unit of

the factor or factors varied, but after a certain point has been reached, the output per unit of the

varying factors will decrease;

Economic Laws


17/33

Law of Monopoly Pricethe intelligent monopolist who can take advantage of his monopoly

power, therefore, will fix the price at the level which will yield the largest possible net profit;

Law of One Pricein a given market where there is free competition and bargaining among

buyers and sellers, a given commodity will sell for one price only at a given time;

Law of Variable Proportionsis the employment of the factors of production in definiteproportions;

THE FOUR PILLARS OF EDUCATION

Learning to Know;

Learning to Be;

Learning to Do;

Learning to Live Together.

LEARNING TO DO (UNESCOAPNIEVE, 2005)

To bring about real change we must first change ourselves at the very core of our being;

Ethical values are at the very core of any strategy for a culture of peace. It is (however) not

enough merely to list or learn them (i.e. values): it is everyday practical application that makes those

values a reality, soundly anchored in society;

TENSIONS TO BE

OVERCOME IN THE 21ST

CENTURY

1. The tension between the local and the global;

2. The individual and the universal;

3. Between tradition and modernity;

4. Between the spiritual and the material;

-The Delors Commission

APNIEVES SHARED

VISION FOR ASIA PACIFIC

1. The elimination of all forms of discrimination;

2. The protection of human rights and democracy;

3. Equitable, balanced, human-centered and sustainable development;

4. Protection of the environment; and


18/33

5. The integration of contemporary and traditional humanistic values, morals and ethical

principles.

Learning To Do

Jacques Delors Commission describes learning throughout life as the key to the 21st

centuryessential for adapting to the evolving requirements of the labour market and for bettermastery of the changing time-frames and rhythms of individual existence.

The need for lifelong learning is accentuated by increasing globalization and free trade. New

economic pressures require both individuals and businesses to continually upgrade knowledge and skills

to maintain their competitive edge;

Learning To Do

It is even more tempting for business to cut costs by casualizing the work force, or by replacing

staff with technology, or through environmentally and occupationally unsound work practices;

The demands of global competitiveness have also created time pressures, altering the work-lifebalance, potentially sacrificing safety and environmental concerns, altering family and social

relationships and stretching the bounds of traditional and ethical values;

Learning To Do

ESSENTIALS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF

CIVIL SOCIETY AND FOR COUNTERING

CORRUPTION

The need for values in education and training associated with life skills;

Developing the ability to balance and manage ones life and time effectively;

Developing the capacity for team work;

Aiming for responsible corporate and global citizenship and democracy;

Learning To Do

It is essential to cultivate human qualities that are not necessarily inculcated by traditional

trainingthe ability to establish stable, effective relationships between individuals requiring new types

of skill, more behavioural than

intellectualintuition, flair, judgment and the ability to hold a team together.

The influence of the media and of communication technologies requires young people to have

critical ethical dispositions as they live, work and interact in the world.

Learning To Do

COUNTERACTING THE PRESSURES AND

INFLUENCES FACED BY YOUNG PEOPLE


19/33

To teach critical thinking skills;

To train them to have judgment and discerning insight;

To focus on the process of values formation;

To develop them to have confidence and skills to

- Solve problems and ethical dilemmas;

- Select the most meaningful and relevant quality information from a mass of data;

Learning To Do

The role of values and ethics must be central to any programme of technical and vocational

education and training;

Vaues are the ideals that give significance to our lives; that are reflected through the priorities

we choose; and that we act on consistently and repeatedly. (Brian Hall,

Values Shift, Twin Light Publishers,

Rockport, 1994, p.21)

We live in an age of dramatic breakthroughs on one hand and breakdowns on the other;

Learning To Do

We need to educate towards a globalization that humanizes, instead of one that marginalizes;

their condition.

Creativity

concrete reality in ways that did not previously exist.

Peace and Justice

Peace is not merely the absence of violence but the presence of respect, tolerance, trust, mutual

understanding, cooperation, justice and freedom. Justice is a cornerstone of peace based on therecognition of the universality of human rights.

Sustainable

Development

Development consists of social and economic benefits, equitably shared, security and self-sufficiency

within the family and community, and a general sense of well being about oneself and others. It is


22/33

sustainable when it is continuing and independent, and provides for the welfare of present and future

generations.

National Unity and Global Solidarity

National Unity is the consciousness of common national identity and cultural heritage amidst

differences in language, religion, culture, and political beliefs, and the commitment of working togethertowards a nations development. Global Solidarity refers to the cooperation and just relationships

between and among nations in the economic, social, and political spheres.

Global Spirituality

Provides a spiritual vision and a sense of transcendence. It enables one to see the wholeness and

interconnectedness of all that exists.

Global Spirituality refers to a spiritual journey that has three directions: the inward, the outward, and

the forward.

Spiritual Journey

The Inward Journey enables us to develop our inner relationship with the Sacred Source of all

life;

The Outward Journey allows us to grow in our relationships with the human community and the

whole earth community, making us more aware of the deep unity among all humans as well as between

humans and all of Nature;

The Forward Journey challenges us to consider our relationships with future generations and to

seek a better future for all humans and the earth.

Hence, it is a spirituality that stresses the unity and interconnectedness of all life.

WORK

Work becomes personally meaningful when it is viewed not only as something to do in order to

survive or achieve; rather, it is a process of extending the self and all our inner resources and potentials;

Meaningful work involves consistent and conscious use of the self, especially in terms of the

four human energies we possessphysical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

The more energies tapped, the more meaningful the work becomes.

WORK

A person must have freedom and control over the work;

The rewards of meaningful work are usually more intrinsic than extrinsic;

Meaningful work extends its contribution beyond an individuals sense of well being and

selffulfillment to societys progress and development;

between 5 and 14 years, of which at least 120 million are working full time. At least one-third of the

total are performing dangerous work. Ever since its creation in 1919, the ILO has devoted most of its

efforts to the elimination of child labor as one of the essential elements in the pursuit of social justice

and universal peace.

What ILO says


24/33

The ILO Global Report, Time for Equality at Work, (Geneva 2003) states that, :literally millions of

people are denied jobs, confined to certain occupations or offered lower pay, simply because of their

sex, religion, or skin color, irrespective of their capabilities or the requirements of the job.

I AM A LINK IN A CHAIN

Most religions teach an ethic of reverence for all life and stewardship of the environment, thathumans are given the commission to enhance the harmony and beauty of the natural world;

Human beings are embedded in both the natural and social systems;

Just as the world contributes to who we are, our behaviors impact on other people and the

natural world.

HOLISTIC HEALTH

Can be attained if there is balance in the seven dimensions of our life, namely:

- Body

- Mind

- Spirit

- Relationships

- Work

- Play

- World

ARE YOU A HUMAN BEING OR A HUMAN DOING?

3 factors that lead to accidents

1. Ignorancethe aspect of knowledge and skill;

2. Negligencethe value dimension

3. Indifferencethe area of attitudes SAFETY SAVES.

ILOS SAFE WORK

Aims to create global awareness of the scale and consequences of work-related accidents, and to

promote the goal of basic protection for all workers in conformity with international labor standards.

Principles / Ideas

The values they profess in the cognitive level will be filtered down to the affective as well as the

behavioral level, thereby making them persons who are true to themselves;

There must be a consistency between what one personally upholds as values with what ones

external realities promote.

ICEBREAKER

A firstgrader came home from his first day at school and told his mother he was never going back.

Whats the use of school? he said. I cant read and I cant write, and the teacher wont letme talk!

ICEBREAKER

An old blacksmith realized he was soon going to quit working so hard. He picked out a strong young

man to become his apprentice. The old fellow was crabby and exciting.

Dont ask me a lot of questions, he told the boy. Just do whatever I tell you to do.

One day the old blacksmith took an iron out of the forge and laid it on the anvil.

Get the hammer over there, he said. When I nod my head, hit it real good and hard.

Now the town is looking for a new blacksmith.
