Ge108 Ethics

Moral standards are based on principles of right and wrong and deal with issues that can harm or help people. Examples include not harming others, stealing, lying or treating people unfairly. Non-moral standards are not based on right and wrong. Examples include rules like not texting while driving or talking with your mouth full. The document describes a dilemma a student faced during an exam where they hesitated between answering honestly without notes or copying formulas from their notebook for a better grade. They chose to copy from their notes, feeling pressure to perform well for their parents. Dilemmas are a common part of life where it can be hard to choose between right and wrong options.

dilemmas encountered.
- Dilemma/s may actually a part of my integral life. It is always a constant tribulation for me as a student. I’ve
encountered this a long time ago when we were having an examination; a math examination to be exact. I am
in a state of the hesitance of the omphalos between answering the exam sheet honestly or get my notebook for
me to have a not-so low score. The bad side whispered at me saying, “GO, TAKE A QUICK PEEK! THE
TEACHER IS NOT THERE, GRAB THE OPPORTUNITY OR ELSE…… YOU MAY OBTAIN A LOW
SCORE.” Supposedly I should decipher the good side of mine but remembering how my parents earned their
sweat for us to have education with adequacy. I preferred to grab my note and copy the formulas. I am indeed
suffering an individual dilemma. Difficult to resist, hard to complain, habitually burdening individual’s option
whether to choose the good or bad and unethically endeavor that merely possessed to every being who is in
the abyss of the uncertainties. As a matter of fact, it is us who can manipulate this sort of manifestation. All
we have to do is to pray to God at all times and ask His guidance.
