ASSESSMENT #: Week 6
Pre-Activity
1. What are your understanding within the contributory elements to your moral character?
Answer: moral character is the existence or lack of virtues such as integrity, courage, fortitude, honesty
and loyalty. Your character defines whether you are morally good or bad in your life. Live life that every
day is your fresh day that everyone will inspired by your nature of treating people with positive smile.
Who knows whether you are bad or good , live your life as a good person not for identity just for your to
improve yourself In positive way.If your are living as a bad person no one can identify you are bad but it
reflects you in bad way in some situations that you can't even identify.
TRY THIS
Answer: Adolf Hitler and Nelson Mandela are considered two significant and famous political leaders
whose actions have made important changes in the history of mankind. Both are chosen as they
propose tremendous differences in terms of leadership attitudes, principles, style and powers. Also, they
represent the idea of leaders who were able to move an entire country their way for good or bad.
Hitler and Mandela were men that fought for their beliefs. They are very different men, however both
had a huge influence over their countrymen; the politics of their country and certainly they both shaped
the course of history. As men they worship to see their way of thinking as the one that was made to be
the right one. Hitler thought that his heritage was the perfect one (Aryans). He used the power of
propaganda to control the masses and make people think his way. Also, he used fear as a great weapon
to intimidate people. Mandela used another method that worked in the same way. He used his
speeches to give hope to people and make them use their voice as a weapon in the fight for freedom.
Mandela believes in equality, he believes that everyone was made equal. Hitler believed in the
superiority of the Aryan race and that any other race in the world should be exterminated.
Great leaders can come in any sort of shape but their idea is what determines their greatness as leaders.
Hitler was a great leader but his ideas made him the most hated man in the face of the Earth. But then
there are leaders like Mandela, a leader that was loved by the people and loved by everyone around the
Earth. Two different men with two different beliefs, but the same drawing power. In summary they were
the same, but in dignity and humanity they weren’t anything alike.
2. With the six stages of moral development, what level you are right now? Explain.2
Answer: In the Conventional moral reasoning is the second of three levels of moral reasoning. In this
level people have internalized the rules and expectations of those closest to them and generally make
moral judgments based on the norms and expectations of their reference group. The morality of an
action depends heavily on peer approval. For example I better not drink and drive because my
friends will think less of me and I, in turn, will think less of myself. How moral an action is depends on
how well it conforms to society's rules the emphasis at this level is on maintaining social order. For
example I am personally against the war, but would never publicly protest it without the permission.
