    The document discusses the differences between moral and non-moral standards. It provides examples of each in both general contexts and specific to the Philippines. For moral standards, it gives the examples of treating others as you wish to be treated and being generous. For non-moral standards, it lists etiquette standards like saying "po" to elders and respecting elders, as well as policies like proper garbage disposal and signs prohibiting urination. The document suggests that owning moral standards internally is better than just following them, as it shapes one's character without relying on what society dictates.

     Define moral standards
     Identify moral standards from non-moral standards
     Apply non moral standards in the Philippine context
     Evaluate the advantage of owning moral standards over abiding them
    Time frame: 5 weeks
    Introduction:
    Good day students! This time we are going to continue our lesson on Morality. We
    begin be understanding moral and non-moral standards. We do this to distinguish moral
    rules from regular rules. I hope you’re interested in this lesson.
    Activity:
    What do you know about these terms below? In the space provided, give your OWN
    personal understanding of these words. Note: It doesn’t have to be accurate. So no need to
    search and read about it. If you have no idea, just write what you think it is all about based
    on how it sounds.
    1. Etiquette
     For me etiquette is all about proper behavior of a person towards something.

    2. Policy
     As I understand, policy is a set of rules about anything that is needed to be
    followed by anyone.

    3. Law
     For me, law isn’t that far different to the policy. It is also a set of rules and
    regulations that is need to be followed it aims to keep the harmony of a
    nation.

    4. Commandment
     Is a set of orders mostly coming from those who are in a higher position or
    the elders which also needs to be followed as a sign of respect and having a
    good character as a person.

    Analysis:

    Since we talked about the importance of rules in lesson 1, write down below at least three
    examples of rules you think is moral and three examples of non-moral rules. Then explain
    your answer.
    Moral Rules Non Moral Rules

     Always tell the truth - Have a go to-outfit formula


     Be responsible to your actions -Do the household chores always
     Respect yourself and others -Always water the plant

    Explanation:

    From my given examples to both moral and non-moral rules I can say that moral
    rules are more into human behavior it involve the rules people have about the kinds of
    actions they believe are morally right and wrong, as well as the values they place on the
    kinds of objects they believe are morally good and morally bad. While non-moral rules are
    unrelated to ethical considerations. Either these standards are not necessarily linked to
    morality or by nature lack ethical sense. It depends on the guidelines set and agreed by a
    group of people.

    Abstraction.

    Moral standard is a code of what is right or wrong without reference to specific behaviors or
    beliefs (Lynn, 1997). It deals with matters that the person thinks have serious consequence
    and is based on good reason and impartial considerations overriding self-interest.

    Characteristics of Moral Standards

    Davao del Norte State College, SS121 (Ethics) Module


    1. Moral standards involve behaviors that seriously affect other people’s well-being. (it
    can injure, or benefit them)
    2. Moral standards take a more important consideration than other standards,
    including self-interest.
    3. Moral standards do not depend on any external authority but in how the person
    perceives the reasonableness of the action. (no one is telling you it is right or wrong
    but you just believe the action is right or wrong)
    4. Moral standards are believed to be universal.
    5. Moral standards are based on objectivity. (not based on
    personal opinion)
    6. Moral standards are associated with vocabulary that
    depicts emotion or feelings. (When you hurt someone
    you feel guilty.)

    NON MORAL STANDARDS

    Non-moral standards can be considered as relative standards by which something or


    someone is judged as either good or bad. The rules of non-moral standards vary because
    these rules depend on the guidelines agreed by a particular group.

    Etiquette

    Is a set of rules on how an individual should responsibly behave in the society. Table manners such
    as the proper use of utensils and the proper manner of eating are examples of etiquette.
    Policy
    It is a clear, simple statement of how an organization plans to handle its services, actions, or
    business. Policies are guiding rules to help with decision making. Example is the wearing of school
    uniform and ID.
    Law
    Law is a rule created and enforced by the government and its agencies to maintain order, resolve
    disputes, and protect a person’s liberty and rights.
    Commandment
    It is a rule that is to be strictly observed because it was said to be set by a divine entity such as those
    in the Ten Commandments (Stahl, 2009).

    What do you think is the advantage of owning moral standards over merely abiding by moral
    standards? (Owning moral standards means believing and living it while abiding is simply following
    because society say so)

     Owning moral standards is great advantage to an individual for it will shape a person’s
    behavior and personality as well as you don’t need to depend on what the society’s
