2. Principles / Laws
1. The greater the knowledge and the freedom, the greater the voluntariness and the moral
responsibility; i.e. Spiderman 3
2. Invincible ignorance renders an act involuntary; i.e. waiter
3. Vincible ignorance does not destroy, but lessens the voluntariness and the corresponding
accountability over the act. i.e. waiters suspicion
4. Affected ignorance, though it decreases voluntariness, increases the accountability over the
resultant act. i.e.
childs refusal to be guided by the parents
Ethical Principles:
7/27/2019 GENERAL LET REVIEW PROGRAM 2008.docx
10/33
5. Antecedent passions do not always destroy voluntariness, but they diminish accountability for the
resultant act. i.e. destierro;
6. Consequent passions do not lessen voluntariness, but may even increase accountability. i.e. sexually-
aroused young man committed rape.
7. Acts done out of fear is voluntary. i.e.
Man can control his fears;
8. Acts done because of intense fear or panic are involuntary. i.e. Panic causes a person to lose
complete control of himself.
Ethical Principles:
9. External actions, or commanded actions, performed by a person subjected to violence, to which
reasonable resistance has been offered, are involuntary and are not accountable; i.e. self-defense;
10. Elicited acts, or those done by the will alone, are not subject to violence and are therefore
voluntary. i.e. heroic acts; tortured?;
11. Actions done by force of habit are voluntary in cause, unless a reasonable effort is made to
counteract the habitual inclination. i.e. Act caused by bad habit is evil;
Ethical Principles:
12. Bonum ex integra causa, malum ex quoculque defectu.
(A thing is good if it has the fullness of its parts and it is bad when it is deficient in any of its integral
parts.);
*A human act is good when it is good in itself, in its motiveor purpose, and in its circumstances.
13. The end (motive) does not justify the means (action). A-la Robin Hood;
Ethical Principles:
14. An evil act which is done on account of an evil motive is grievously wrong;
15. A good action done on account of an evil motive becomes evil itself;
16. A good action done on account of a good purpose acquires an additional merit;
17. An indifferent act may either become good or bad depending on the motive.
Paul Glen considers a person accountable for indirectly voluntary results of his acts when:
1. The doer is able to foresee the evil result or effect, at least, in a general way;
2. The doer is free to refrain from doing that which would produce the foreseen evil;
3. The doer has moral obligation not to do that which produces an evil effect.
Panizos Cited Principles
7/27/2019 GENERAL LET REVIEW PROGRAM 2008.docx
11/33
1. A person is held morally responsible for any evil effect which flows from the action itself directly
and necessarily as a natural consequence, though the evil effect is not directly willed or intended;
2. A human act from which two effects may result, one good and one evil, is morally permissible
under four conditions. If any of these conditions is violated, then the action is not justifiable and should
not be done.
Here are the four conditions:
1. The action which produces double effects must be good in itself, or at least morally indifferent.
i.e. Action > good & bad = good;
2. The good effect must not come from the evil effect. To do evil in order to achieve something
good is not justified. i.e. Evil action > good effect = bad;
3. The motive of the doer must be towards the attainment of the good. The evil effect is permitted
only as an incidental result. i.e. Good motive > either good effect = good or evil effect = bad;
4. The good effect must outweigh the evil result in its importance. i.e. Action > good effect isgreater than evil result = good
Kants The Categorical Imperative:
Act as if the maxim from which you act were tobecome, through your will, a universal law of nature.
* To test whether your act is good, universalize it. If the result is universally good, then the act is good. If
not, then, its the other way around.
HOW CONSCIENCE OPERATES
Ethical Principles:
Choosing Out Values:
1. Permanent or lasting values must be preferred over temporary or perishable values; i.e.
education over courtship;
2. Values favored by a greater number of people must be preferred over those that appeal only to
a few, i.e. discipline over personal freedom;
3. Values that are essential must be preferred over those that are accidental. i.e. character over
beauty;
4. Values that give greater satisfaction must be preferred over those that provide short-lived
pleasures. i.e. Journalism over fanatical devotion to a movie star.
Ethical Principles:
Work for the sake of salary kills creativity;
No God in your life, no good life;

Ethical Principles:
18. Negative duties arising from negative natural law admit no exemption; i.e. murder, stealing;
19. Affirmative duties arising from affirmative precepts of natural law admit exemptions when the
act is rendered impossible under certain circumstances or would involve excessive hardships on the
person. i.e. Sick father, destitute relatives are excused;
20. Ordinary hardships which come along with the performance of a duty do not exempt one from
complying with such duty. i.e. Student who finds difficult to get a ride;
Ethical Principles:
21. Duties towards God must be given priority over those towards men;
22. Duties that secure public order or common good have priority over those that safeguard the

THREE BASIC QUESTIONS IN ECONOMICS
What to produce;
How to produce (and how much);
For whom to produce.
SCOPE OF ECONOMICS
Microeconomicsexamines the
functioning of individual industries and the behavior of decision-making units, i.e. business firms and
households, (It looks and examines a tree.);
Macroeconomicslooks at the economy as a whole. i.e. balance of trade, GNP. (It sees and
analyzes the forest.)
Economic Laws
Law of Diminishing Returnsas successive units of labor or capital or both are applied to a given
piece of land, a point is reached when each additional unit of these productive factors will fail to yield a
proportionately increased return;
The Law of Populationthe size of population is chiefly determined by the degree of prosperity
enjoyed, the ability of a nation to support its inhabitants;
Malthusian Doctrine of Population
Population has a constant tendency to increase beyond the means of subsistence.
Population increases in geometric ratio as the numbers
1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256 while subsistence increases in an arithmetic ration as the numbers
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 every 25 years;
Economic Laws
Law of Demandthe quantity of any good which buyers are ready to purchase varies inversely
with the price of the good;
Law of Diminishing Utilitythe utility of a good diminishes as additional units of the good are
consumed;
Law of Diminishing Productivitywhenever one, or more, of the factors of production are
unchanged while the other factor, or factors, are varied, there will be an increasing output per unit of
the factor or factors varied, but after a certain point has been reached, the output per unit of the
varying factors will decrease;
Economic Laws

Law of Monopoly Pricethe intelligent monopolist who can take advantage of his monopoly
power, therefore, will fix the price at the level which will yield the largest possible net profit;
Law of One Pricein a given market where there is free competition and bargaining among
buyers and sellers, a given commodity will sell for one price only at a given time;
Law of Variable Proportionsis the employment of the factors of production in definiteproportions;
THE FOUR PILLARS OF EDUCATION
Learning to Know;
Learning to Be;
Learning to Do;
Learning to Live Together.
LEARNING TO DO (UNESCOAPNIEVE, 2005)
To bring about real change we must first change ourselves at the very core of our being;
Ethical values are at the very core of any strategy for a culture of peace. It is (however) not
enough merely to list or learn them (i.e. values): it is everyday practical application that makes those
values a reality, soundly anchored in society;
TENSIONS TO BE
OVERCOME IN THE 21ST
CENTURY
1. The tension between the local and the global;
2. The individual and the universal;
3. Between tradition and modernity;
4. Between the spiritual and the material;
-The Delors Commission
APNIEVES SHARED
VISION FOR ASIA PACIFIC
1. The elimination of all forms of discrimination;
2. The protection of human rights and democracy;
3. Equitable, balanced, human-centered and sustainable development;
4. Protection of the environment; and
7/27/2019 GENERAL LET REVIEW PROGRAM 2008.docx
18/33
5. The integration of contemporary and traditional humanistic values, morals and ethical
principles.
Learning To Do
Jacques Delors Commission describes learning throughout life as the key to the 21st
centuryessential for adapting to the evolving requirements of the labour market and for bettermastery of the changing time-frames and rhythms of individual existence.
The need for lifelong learning is accentuated by increasing globalization and free trade. New
economic pressures require both individuals and businesses to continually upgrade knowledge and skills
to maintain their competitive edge;
Learning To Do
It is even more tempting for business to cut costs by casualizing the work force, or by replacing
staff with technology, or through environmentally and occupationally unsound work practices;
The demands of global competitiveness have also created time pressures, altering the work-lifebalance, potentially sacrificing safety and environmental concerns, altering family and social
relationships and stretching the bounds of traditional and ethical values;
Learning To Do
ESSENTIALS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
CIVIL SOCIETY AND FOR COUNTERING
CORRUPTION
The need for values in education and training associated with life skills;
Developing the ability to balance and manage ones life and time effectively;
Developing the capacity for team work;
Aiming for responsible corporate and global citizenship and democracy;
Learning To Do
It is essential to cultivate human qualities that are not necessarily inculcated by traditional
trainingthe ability to establish stable, effective relationships between individuals requiring new types
of skill, more behavioural than
intellectualintuition, flair, judgment and the ability to hold a team together.
The influence of the media and of communication technologies requires young people to have
critical ethical dispositions as they live, work and interact in the world.
Learning To Do
COUNTERACTING THE PRESSURES AND
INFLUENCES FACED BY YOUNG PEOPLE
7/27/2019 GENERAL LET REVIEW PROGRAM 2008.docx
19/33
To teach critical thinking skills;
To train them to have judgment and discerning insight;
To focus on the process of values formation;
To develop them to have confidence and skills to
- Solve problems and ethical dilemmas;
- Select the most meaningful and relevant quality information from a mass of data;
Learning To Do
The role of values and ethics must be central to any programme of technical and vocational
education and training;
Vaues are the ideals that give significance to our lives; that are reflected through the priorities
we choose; and that we act on consistently and repeatedly. (Brian Hall,
Values Shift, Twin Light Publishers,
Rockport, 1994, p.21)
We live in an age of dramatic breakthroughs on one hand and breakdowns on the other;
Learning To Do
We need to educate towards a globalization that humanizes, instead of one that marginalizes;

needs met, so that each person has the opportunity to develop to full potential;
Dignity of Labor- is respect and appreciation for all forms of work recognizing their contributions
to both the individuals self-fulfillment and to societal progress and development;
Health and Harmony with Naturerefers to holistic health, a state of physical, mental, emotional, social
and spiritual well-being and the symbiotic relationship between humans and the natural environment
entailing the duty to take care of their health and protect other forms of life on earth as stewards of the
environment.
Truth and Wisdomare the ultimate goals of intellectual development. Love of truth implies the
constant search for knowledge. Wisdom is the ability to discern and understand the deepest meanings
and values in life and to act accordingly.
Love and CompassionLove is committed to the good of the whole human person. It includes love for
ones self as well as for others. Love seeks the good of another without expecting anything in return.
Compassion is being sensitive to the needs and suffering of others and actively finding ways to improve
their condition.
Creativity

concrete reality in ways that did not previously exist.
Peace and Justice

understanding, cooperation, justice and freedom. Justice is a cornerstone of peace based on therecognition of the universality of human rights.

within the family and community, and a general sense of well being about oneself and others. It is
7/27/2019 GENERAL LET REVIEW PROGRAM 2008.docx
22/33
sustainable when it is continuing and independent, and provides for the welfare of present and future
generations.
National Unity and Global Solidarity
National Unity is the consciousness of common national identity and cultural heritage amidst
differences in language, religion, culture, and political beliefs, and the commitment of working togethertowards a nations development. Global Solidarity refers to the cooperation and just relationships
between and among nations in the economic, social, and political spheres.
Global Spirituality
Provides a spiritual vision and a sense of transcendence. It enables one to see the wholeness and
interconnectedness of all that exists.
Global Spirituality refers to a spiritual journey that has three directions: the inward, the outward, and
the forward.
Spiritual Journey
The Inward Journey enables us to develop our inner relationship with the Sacred Source of all
life;
The Outward Journey allows us to grow in our relationships with the human community and the
whole earth community, making us more aware of the deep unity among all humans as well as between
humans and all of Nature;
The Forward Journey challenges us to consider our relationships with future generations and to
seek a better future for all humans and the earth.
Hence, it is a spirituality that stresses the unity and interconnectedness of all life.
WORK
Work becomes personally meaningful when it is viewed not only as something to do in order to
survive or achieve; rather, it is a process of extending the self and all our inner resources and potentials;
Meaningful work involves consistent and conscious use of the self, especially in terms of the
four human energies we possessphysical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
The more energies tapped, the more meaningful the work becomes.
WORK
A person must have freedom and control over the work;
The rewards of meaningful work are usually more intrinsic than extrinsic;
Meaningful work extends its contribution beyond an individuals sense of well being and
selffulfillment to societys progress and development;

man to become his apprentice. The old fellow was crabby and exciting.
Dont ask me a lot of questions, he told the boy. Just do whatever I tell you to do.

Get the hammer over there, he said. When I nod my head, hit it real good and hard.
Now the town is looking for a new blacksmith.
