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 comes to mean anything any individual personally discerns to
decide is “Ethical to Behave” regardless of any inconsequential, disastrous,
chaotic, not in-common beneficial to general population, rather, toward selfish
agenda “to actually non-ethically behave.”

- Normative Ethics exists as the Absolute Universal Everlasting Metaphysical

abstractly innately mentally operationally known concept of Ethics as Ethics
Itself, by Itself, of Itself, for Itself. ____Void of any individual’s personal “selfish
desire to deceive” that his selfish agenda behavior IS ETHICAL!
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 bravado. I was always told by my Dad to beware of the person who has to
tell you how good he or she is. 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 esteem able. 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.
