Ethics – Activity 1 to 4.
Activity no.1 Orientation of the course.
1. Based on your experience, what rules do you find restricting?
Rules which really restrict my freedom, household rules, legal rules and some self-
imposed rules that didn't work anyway, because as a youth we are energetic and want to explore
or try a lot of new things. One of my experience is the legal age of trying new stuffs like I need to
follow curfew, no drinking, partying and overnight because of being a minor. Before, I felt left out
to my friends but eventually I have realized that there is a right and certain time of everything. To
obey a rule is a choice. To disobey a rule is to choose to deal with the consequences of doing so.
Thus, we have the capacity to choose our battle these rules is also for our good but sometimes
those are the things I find it that restricting me.
2. List down five rules that restrict you?
Curfew.
No sleepover.
Giving offerings to the beggars.
Seniority.
Do not talk back. Sometimes, we need also to share our point.

2. Can we transform the negative values to positive one? Explain your answer.
Yes, the negative values we have its either we are lacking effort or being excessive or too
much. For a negative value to be transform as a positive one we must practice value of balance. Too
much is bad, too passive is also bad so we must be able to have this cognition that we can also check
and reflect ourselves in everything we do. So that we can assess and adjust ourselves to the things we
must do.
