Overview of the module

This learning module on ethics deals with principles of ethical behavior in modern society
at the level of the person, society, and in interaction with the environment and other shared
resources. It also teaches students to make moral decisions by using dominant moral frameworks
and by applying a seven-step moral reasoning model to analyze and solve moral dilemmas.

This learning module is a resource material for students that serves as a learning guide
and a workbook for students. This module provides key concepts in applied ethics using a more
pragmatic and comprehensive approach. The goal of this module is not just for students to learn
about the various ethical theories and principles; but to be able to dissect between moral
dilemmas and to discern what is ethically right and wrong; and internalize the influence of
integrity to people relationships.
This learning module is designed in three units with equivalent subtopics. Lessons and
topics are presented in various presentations (texts, additional reading requirements, passages,
pictures, graphs, tables, illustrations, examples, case analysis, and videos. Each topic is
accompanied by an activity, a formative assessment, reflections, and the like – which students
must respond on time. Students must take note the schedule of completing modular
requirements based on the teacher’s prescribed deadline of completion and submission.
