1. Describe the difference between the Morality of Obligation and the Morality of Happiness.
The difference between morality of obligation and morality of happiness is based on the
person’s sentiments between the two of the positive and negative situations. The morality of
obligation has the sense of duty or what has someone is ought to do. Most people see it as
something that has to be done no matter what. It’s the requirement of imposing someone else’s
will over one’s own. Thus, one sees it as burden and making the person unhappy. On the other
hand, morality of happiness includes the things that one makes feel good—enjoying the life. It
doesn’t feel restrictive and the person does whatever one likes preferably without any negative
consequences on one’s part or with other people. It is what makes on happy so the person can
repeat doing it again.
However, the two does not have to be too exclusive. If what is obligated to the person can
make himself/herself happy, then he/she is happily obligated to do it. Therefore, even if moral
obligation cannot bring that person moral happiness, he/she can view it as something for the
greater good than personal happiness. Then the attitude will not be out of burden because it is
what was ought to do but of love and willingness, he/she will do it.
2. Explain the purpose of our conscience and our duty to form the conscience.
The purpose of conscience is for us people to be able to think on our own and know what is
right or wrong, what is moral or not. Rationality in our conscience is what sets us apart from
animals. It makes us perceptive and be able to control, monitor, and evaluate our actions. With
our duty to form the conscience, it would make our lives harmonious as well as our relationship
with others too. Vélez (2009) says that a well-formed conscience is effective because it makes
practical judgments with relative ease or after seeking advice. It is our duty to examine our
conscience and evaluate our actions that is to be and has been done.
3. Describe the term “natural law.”
Natural law is a rule of conduct that are inherent to us humans and is conferred by God,
reason, or nature. It is innate for us humans and is also influenced by our families and teachings
that we got as grow up. Just like it is natural for us not to kill or harm other people because we
were taught that it is wrong, bad, and immoral. Basically, natural law is what initially influences
our conscience to discern what is right.
4. Discuss your view on whether there is a universal moral code and note what some possible
universal moral codes are.
I believe that for something to be labeled as universal, it must apply to all. I think that
caring is a universal moral code. Regardless of the culture, religion, or race, people care a lot.
Sometimes, it may not be with respect to other people, but towards oneself. It doesn’t have to
specifically mean that we people care about one another because realistically speak...
