WHAT’S IN
LEARNING TASK 2.

will be proud of.

we all know that cheating is a sin.

totally wrong. Ruby should help Celeste by giving her tips and tricks. She should not

8. May kakaiba

1. I have a lot of new stuffs. I will not have savings and I will not have
2. I became really happy and satisfied. enough money for future purposes.
3. I gained confidence and self-love on the
things I bought.

LEARNING TASK 4.
1. What are your prior considerations for making those decisions?
Before I came up with those decisions, I always ask myself first if it is really what I want
to do. I always question my motive if it is the right thing that can benefit a lot of people.
I always think if I will be hurting others in my future decision, and analyze the situation
of others if I was in their place.

2. What are your considerations for classifying the effect of your action as a positive one?
If the effect of my action would not harm anyone, be beneficial for a lot of people, and
be the start of a good change, then I’ll consider it as a positive one.

3. What are your considerations for classifying the effect of your action as a negative one?
If the people around me will get hurt, the feedback that I will get is unfavorable and my
conscience will be triggered, then I’ll consider it as a negative one.
 4. In making those decisions, are you free in doing them? If yes, how? If no, what binds you?
I think this question is dependent to the situation. If you’re a person who has a strong
personality and standpoint then you has the freedom to decide what you really want.
But if you’re a person that is scared about the judgment of others, then you’ll not free to
decide, because you are being dependent to the acceptance of the society.
But in my situation, I have the freedom to choose because I always think of the benefits
and consequences of my actions. This brings me a very strong standpoint.

5. What are your considerations in saying that you made a “best decision”?
My consideration in saying that I made the right or best decision is when I feel “relief”
not only in my mind, but also in my soul. I will feel it if I knew that I achieved and
succeeded in certain things without humiliating, hurting, or lying to other people. It is
much better to sleep at night at peace and ease thinking that you got where you are
right now because you use your hardship, determination, and perseverance to succeed
in life and win that battle. For me, that is the best decision that people should always
consider. Let's always choose kindness, gentleness and use our patience to succeed in
life without harming anyone. 

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
In moral standpoint, do you thing Ah Chong’s action is morally upright or not? Should he be held
liable for stabbing his roommate?

In my own opinion, Ah Chong's action is upright. The act done by Ah Chong was merely an
act done due to honest mistake of fact. But if his roommate answered his question at first, he
wouldn’t get stabbed. On the part of Ah Chong, he only tries to defend himself and their room
and the knife would be a reasonable protection by the means of it. But in addition, there are
still questions in my mind. Why would his roommate tried to open the door aggressively? Why
his roommate didn’t answer his question? Why he tried to open the door in the middle of the
night? Doesn’t he have the key of the room since they were roommate?
