INTRODUCTION

+10 AKO SA LANGITTTTT BOIII

Morality and its many subjective perceptions is one of the biggest parts of what it means to be human. In a very profound way, it is one of the fundamental forces of determining your character and the way you interact with not just the people around you, but also the world as you know it (see: epistemology shameless plug LOL)

To help you think about the good life, some questions and answers are provided below.

"Even though you can't expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make the attempt. That's morality, that's religion, that's art, that's life."
β€” Phil Ochs

a. What Defines a Good Life?

What defines a good life more – what you do or who you are? Explain your answer. You may refer to the various ethical theories.

Bro tinatanong pa ba yan? What you do defines who you are, parang you are what you eat lang yan (fallacy?) ANYWAY my point still stands, what you do is what defines a good life more, under one conditionβ€” di mo yan ginagawa lang para magpasikat, maging performative, ew kadiri yuck mga performative ang aasim niyo charot. Pero ayon, a good life, aligned with the life of virtue is a life where you do things consistently na, and these actions are what defines YOU. Huhu real talk lang ang tamaan matamaan pake ko sa inyo (wow egoism?), don't claim that you are like this nor you have a good life if the things you do are just one-time things and not incorporated sa routines mo. Huhu are you even having the totoong good life if yung habit mo is pagpapasikat by doing tons of things na isang beses mo lang gagawin? Good life na sa'yo yung pagiging sikat sa mga one-time shit na ginagawa mo? So lame HAHAHAHAHAHAH ayus-ayusin mo buhay mo tol.

b. Martial Law Dilemma

Take this case study: it is Martial Law in the Philippines and you have a soldier friend who entrusted a weapon to you for safe keeping. You promised to keep it and give it only to your soldier friend when asked. You also happen to have an activist roommate in the dorm. Recently, your soldier friend found out about your roommate and demands you give back the weapon. Will you give it back to your friend as promised or break your promise? Why or why not? You may refer to the various ethical theories.

Bro its martial law, and alam naman natin yung mga kademonyohang nagaganap there, and it's SUPER bullshit, like maging aktibista ka (which, mind you, is something that they do for the right, para maayos bansa natin), oa agad punishment?!?!?! O ngayon apply mo yon sa situation na to. Bro that gun, that fucking gun, take it away from a soldier during martial law and it can save lives and maybe help save the Philippines, simple as that.

Actually joke lang huhu, given the severity of the situation, do you really think hiding one gun from the picture will make things better? Huhu I feel like di gagana rito yung pagiging martir dito ng isang tao, and I would even argue that it is NOT utilitarianism, yung tipong itatago ko yung baril para sa kapakanan ng marami? Para mabawasan yung mga mamamatay dahil nabawasan sila ng isang baril? Heck, who would know ano pwede nila gawin? What if pag-initan ka nila tas yung roommate mo tapos yung buong dorm dahil doon sa ginawa mo? O deba, lalo lang naparami yung pwedeng mamatay sa situation na 'yon kesa sa maliligtas. Isip isip din bro, look at the bigger picture nga ika nila, kasi especially in situations like this, sacrificing one thing for the "good" of many will not always go that way talaga ahuhuhu gising na tayo sa katotohanan bro, laging may plot twist ang buhay, hindi laging magaganda nangyayari πŸ™

In this scenario hindi talaga pwede eh huhu, it is almost certain that breaking your promise to your soldier friend will just make things worse. Kaya ayonnn haha, deontology truther muna ako at iki-keep ko ang promise ko sa soldier friend ko ahahaha. Sakin lang ha, don't act purely out of heart, wag ka magpakamartir dahil lang sinasabi ng puso mo na "ah, makakaligtas ka ng maraming tao." NO! Kaya nga may puso't utak tayo deba? They're meant to be working together huhuhu so PLEASEEEEE wag ka magpakamartir nang bulag, maging matalino rin, kasi not everything that looks promising at first will give out promising results. Same lang din yan sa utilitarianism actually, need din gamitan ng utak para mas sure natin na yung i-a-act natin is for the greatest good talaga for the greatest number of people.

Dedma sa bashers btw, i'm just saying my opinion based on my critical thinking, sana maging critical din kayo #peace #respectmyonion

c. Need to Argue About Morality?

If everyone has their own definitions of right and wrong, is there still a need to argue about morality? Explain your answer.

Bakla, morality, branch of philo. Ano ginagawa sa philo? You defend what you believe in and refute those that attack your beliefs, understand others' beliefs din etc. etc. basically andun yung act of arguing ang understanding and even reinforcing. The same applies to our morality. I believe the act of doing philosophy, which can also be applied on the debate of morality, is necessary for a better society ganern. Lahat naman tayo for sure want ng progress right? Deba???? Well, kung sa tingin niyo di natin need ng arguments about these, then congrats, walang kwenta yang mga pinaniniwalaan mo.
