A. Essay: Answer the following questions briefly and clearly.
1. What is the importance of studying Work Ethics for future workers?
- The importance of studying Work ethic is a set of values based on discipline and hard
work. It affects how you handle your responsibilities and how seriously you take your
work. Your good work ethic tells future employers what they might expect from you
on the job. And it is important because that is what employers want to see: how
committed are you to showing up to work EACH DAY ON TIME, following through on
your commitments, your willingness to get along with others, willingness to learn the
job/new aspects of the job.

2. As a student, do you consider the study of ethics important? Why, or Why not?
- As a student studying ethics is important to me, it might help me in my attitude,
guiding me in how to mingle to my teachers as well as my classmates. And at the
foundation of a good work ethic is a whole lot of hard work. In school, it may mean
staying after for extra help from your instructor or fine-tuning your assignments to
reach perfection. At work, you may want to come in a little early or stay late so you do
the best job you can.
3. Socrates asserts, “An examined life is not worth living.” Do you Agree? Why? If you don’t
agree, explain your reasons.
- Socrates wanted to say that we have to examine our life means we have to set a goal.
if we don’t think about our values, aims, goals then we lost the direction of our life
because this is really applicable in real life. Life is a matter of choices. We have choices
for we have freedom. God gave us freedom but that freedom is not absolute. There
are realities in life where in we cannot control or we have no freedom at all. Best
examples are the face we have, our skin color, our parents, to be born in a rich or a
poor family, to be born in what religion and where or in what country to be born. We
have no choice in these things.
4. What is the value of the study and application of ethics in the world of work?
- The value of the study and application of ethics in the world of work is the more a
person is responsible in nature, the more efficiently and responsibly he will do the
given task. Responsibility towards everything such as parents, family, society, nature,
works, office, etc. are certain things which not only should be kept in mind but also
these must be followed by every human being for a healthier environment.
5. Explain the importance of the assumptions of ethics in setting the standards of moral
responsibility. Provide specific examples in your explanation.
- A human being is responsible for every action and inaction, decision or indecision,
statement or silence. Not every choice has a moral component, but everything we do
or opt not to do has consequences. We make and shape ourselves in all of it, the
morally-guided as well as everything else. We are all the chief bearers of the
consequence of our being. Nothing ever lifts that off us, because we’re sitting here in
the midst of those results. Whether anyone else finds fault or blame in it, credit or
debt - our lives are made up of such consequence. Our selves are.

- We’re all able to deny responsibility for any or all of it, of course. Example: let’s say I
had an upbringing. So because of that, I feel entitled to deny all responsibility. I can.
Denial doesn’t remove consequences. Denial is itself, an act with consequences. Chief
among them: I may feel I have to prove I couldn’t have done anything - probably by
not doing even what I can. I mean if I really want to sell it - surely it’d look about silly if
I deny all responsibility and then dive in any way to take charge!
6. Can you list some advantages and disadvantages of the descriptive and normative study?
- Descriptive ethics just ‘describes’ what is known. For example, that building is tall and
emits much artificial light, or that culture highly values monogamy. Since this is
empirical (usually), this method can describe what ethical system is employed or
ascribed to by an individual or group, i.e., this is the value(s) of that person or group.
- Normative ethics provides a value judgment. For example, the tall building ruins the
view from our balcony and all that artificial light washes out the beautiful night stars
cape, or that culture practices polygamy and polygamy is unethical as it breaks down
familial responsibility
7. How do you respond to the egoist challenge that man has no reason to be good since he
does not benefit from it? Provide specific examples to explain your point.
- We do benefit in our own heart by being good. If we don't we are just putting on a
false statement. To be good is to treat others the same way we would want them to
treat us. You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
8. Why does the human will affect human freedom and reason? Do you agree? How can you
make the will closer to goodness and truth.
- My will affects the way I see myself. Wanting to be a person I can admire and wanting
the general good (because the misery of others intrudes on my contentment) are the
only reasons I have to do good. God put that within me that wants to be estimable.
This force makes the choices that are good in intent. There is no good in result because
all actions have innumerable consequences good and bad.
