COURSE GUIDE
Ethics deals with principles of ethical behavior in modern society at the level of the person, society, and in
interaction with the environment and other shared resources (CMO 20 s 2013). On the other hand, morality pertains to
the standards of right and wrong that the 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 aims to teach students how 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).
Our course will be managed using the remote teaching mode and we will be using the Microsoft Teams
platform as our virtual classroom. The remote teaching mode shall be done online and offline. Virtual instruction will be
synchronous (real-time online Microsoft Teams video conferencing), or asynchronous (recorded lectures or
PowerPoint presentations), whichever is accessible to all of you.
There will be study guides which will serve as our “maps” in learning all throughout our course. To ensure a
more enriched learning experience, e-modules, e-books, modified handouts, reading or supplemental reading
materials will be provided. The learning materials can be accessed through our official Microsoft Teams. For those
who may have interconnectivity challenges, these materials will also be made available in print, to be photocopied, or
saved directly to your USB-flash drive.
