Reflect on your standing personal principle and morality standard. Give your reflection on each of the
give quotes and cite example.

1. Bias of Priene, “Most men are simply bad.”

 I think that this quote is about good men and bad men alike are capable of weakness.
Wherein the difference is simply that a bad man will be proud all his life of one good
deed while an honest man is hardly aware of his good acts, but remembers a single sin
for years on end.

2. According to one’s view, “the highest number is 5, not 1; yet killing 1 is equivalent to killing 5.”

 This view I think is about Morality that it has to do with right and wrong, good and bad.
It is a Moral principle ideal that we try to follow in our attempt to live right and be good
people, instead of bad. Some common examples of moral principles are honesty,
respect, and kindness. If we accept these principles as worthy of guiding ife, then try to
be honest with people, show respect for them, and be kind to them. It is concerned not
with establishing what is right or wrong but with understanding why people are so much
more reluctant to push a man to his death than to cause his death by pulling a lever.

3. State Confucius’ Moral Principle (The Golden Rule) and reflect on it.
  “Don't do unto others what you don't want done unto you”

 This Moral Principle talks about if you want to be treated nicely, treat someone else
nicely; treat someone else nicely because of the grace you have been given. So that
regardless of how you feel in any given situation, you can offer grace like the grace
God extends to you daily. You’re probably thinking that sometimes you are nice—
very nice—and in return you get contempt from some people. Unfortunately, this
can and will happen. People don’t always treat you the way they want to be treated
or the way you want to be treated. But that doesn’t mean that you can stop doing
the right thing. Don’t let someone pull you into their web of uncaring harshness.
Two wrongs never make a right, and vengeance does not belong to us.

Briefly but substantially answer the following problems in your own words.

4. During the discussion, a student interrupts the teacher and gave her opinion about what she
knows is right. This situation leads to an argument between the two, the teacher who got
humiliated in front of his own class decided to take action by deducting the grade of that
student from her final grade. Because of the teacher’s action, the student was removed from
the Dean’s list that semester and has gone through depression because she knows that she
does not deserve the grade. What principle in the code of ethics does the teacher violates?
Justify your answer.

 The principle in the code of ethics does the teacher violates in here is the Article VIII
Sec 8 under The teachers and the Learners that talks about that “teacher must not
inflict corporal punishment on offending learners nor make deductions from their
scholastic ratings as a punishment “

 In this as a teacher we must also respect our student opinion wherein students also
teach us on some other things. Perhaps respecting students means regarding them
with special attention, honoring them, showing consideration toward them, being
concerned about them, appreciating them, relating to them, admiring their
strengths, and caring for them. Always remember that students will never respect
you if you do not respect them.
5. A teacher who had engaged in business, specifically online networking had unintentionally given a
little of her time and effort in her profession as a teacher. This leads to poor academic performance of
her class. This issue goes to the Principal; the reason of the teacher is that she needs to look for
another job aside from teaching because her salary is not enough for their everyday expenses. What
does the teacher in this case violates? Explain your answer.

 The teacher in this case violates Article VI, Section 6 under The teachers and higher authorities
in the profession that talks about “A teacher who accepts a position assumes a contractual
obligation to live up to his/her contract, full knowledge of employment terms and conditions.”

 As a teacher it is your obligation to be sure what you applied for. You must be sure if you really
want to teach or no being a teacher is a very big obligation. Your classroom should promote
safety, security and acceptance, always avoiding any form of bullying, hostility, dishonesty,
neglect or offensive conduct. You must accurately describe your qualifications, credentials and
licenses to school boards or principals who seek to hire you. You must also fulfill all contracts;
obey school policies; and account for all funds and resources at your disposal. It's your
responsibility to design lesson plans to meet state standards and create a well-rounded
education plan that appeals to a wide range of learners.

 Commitment to the job is important. Always keep in mind that teachers must wholly commit to
the teaching profession.
