What is the reflection about the ethics of jovito salonga?
MENDOZA, Hanna Joy C. August 25, 2018IV- B/F CF 4a-1 Reflection PaperWhat is Ethics?By: Jovito R. Salonga
We all known that, “Ethics is the discipline dealing with right and wrong” but based on Jovito R. Salonga’s statement, it is beyond reciprocity. Reciprocity, something like the Golden Rules - “Do unto others what would like others do unto you”. As a person who believes it, I do good to others so they’ll do good to me, if I want to gain respect,I’ll respect others first so that they’ll respect me. Based on Mr. Salonga’s statement, “It is beyond honesty and fairness, compassion and caring for people, especially those who
are in need, are among life’s highest ethical values.
knowing what is right and wrong. Example, the use of lead paint on children's toys is unethical from a business stand point. And allowing them to be shipped to your Country is an example of unethical social acceptance of a controlling unethical Government.
Is law more important than ethics?
The law and the constitution are not necessarily superior to ethics, however, they are more clearly defined, and they are enforced by the government. There are certainly some cases in which a particular individual has a better understanding of ethics than the police, judges, or other officials with whom he or she may be dealing. There are also lots of cases in which individuals have less understanding or less concern for ethics than government officials do. But in either case, governments have considerable power with which to enforce the law.
An ethical appeal is a call for people to consider the standards which are common to the field in questions. Hopefully people will be compelled to grant the petition based on the standards which should have been followed.

What are some examples of Psychological egoism?
Any scenario in which one does not consider the point of view of the "other person". We are all the other person to the another person. That guy or gal. If one places themselves in a situation in which he/she imagines themselves as switching places with whom ever he/she in interacting with and views his/her actions from a different perspective, it then becomes the opposite of egoism.
Egoism is not considering the fact that one is not alone in the world and thus experiencing life from a sort of movie perspective. Of course he/she thinks of themselves as the main character when the truth is that we are all background cast in the movie of life.
Here's 1 example:
-Tailgating
People who tailgate are acting out of egoism. It increases the chances of death if an accident occurs of some situation in which the brakes need to be slammed on. They do not consider this (in some cases) and feel as if their agenda is more important than endangering the life of the human(s) in the other vehicle. They do not put themselves in the other persons shoes because they are late, wanna go with the flow (follow others- break the speed limit), etc.
Basically, it's not considering the following thought or something related to it in your head when doing something that will effect others: "Would I want to experience how I'm affecting other people?" In a way it's an ignorant evil.
What is meant by 'spiritual and cultural values'?
- Cultural values are beliefs passed down by shared traditions of people in your environment that were instrumental in shaping your views of food, dress, music, government, and religion.
- Spiritual values are beliefs that set the standards by which you govern your life. These values come from the source that connect you to God. For some it is religion. For others it becomes a relationship that was established by God's authorized messenger Jesus Christ!
- Spiritual and cultural values are the elements that govern the choices a person makes in life, which are considered to be socially acceptable. Those values must consistently result in such practices as integrity, equity and justice.
- Spiritual values can be loosely defined as ethical or religious values that reflect one's beliefs about life, while cultural values can be defined as values predominant in the culture we live in. More often than not these values overlap -- especially in a society where values are so hard to define. May I suggest that you look up "Lifestyle and Values" in Marriages, Shack-ups and Other Disasters by Kurt Meyer.
Why is important to be ethical?
Investing ethically, or applying your values to investing is important for many reasons. For instance, when we invest in a company, or many companies in the case of a mutual fund, we share in the responsibility for the activities of those companies as well as participate in the outcomes of their corporate activities. So, anyone valuing their personal or spiritual growth has to take these things into account when investing.
Also, if everyone invests according to their personal values, then, since so many of our core values are alike - and are supportive of higher ideals - that in the long run, only companies employing these higher values will truly prosper. And there is real evidence of this now.
I advocate, teach and write on the subject of ethical investing -- and have a popular website that has unique information which might interest you. It includes the latest global green and ethical investing news and research.
What are the codes of ethics in journalism?
Unrestrained freedom of the press and the activities of journalism gave rise undesirably, to undertakings that were rather detrimental to the society as far as the culture and ethics of people are concerned. Such undertakings by journalist included 'Yellow Journalism', sensationalism, the tendency intruding into private lives for the sheer sake of juicy news and so forth. This gave rise to the importance for the formation of certain ethics in journalism also known as principles that are expected to be abided by.
A journalistic undertaking has to be featured by objectivity, a writing or a deliverance of news completely free from personal opinions and bias. A news has to be balanced and fair without any inclinations of favoritism to one side of the issue. Similarly truthfulness and accuracy should be the feature of a news items. An article should be decently delivered devoid of any sensitive language, any personal derogatory remarks and without resorting to emotionally shocking items like presenting photographs of human corpses. A news agency or press must be independent and not restricted to undertake their activities. And lastly, a news media must be responsible for the same society that gave them the freedom.
Are gay rights supported by the church?
In the Roman Catholic Church for example, gay people are welcomed into the Church and encouraged to take part in the Sacrament of Penance (for forgiving sins), as long as they are celibate. Some people find this highly offensive and do not go to church in the first place.
My advice would be to go to a Church that is gay-friendly and accepts your sexual orientation. There is no point wasting your time in a Church that does not accept you for who you are and keeps forcing you to change yourself.

It is doing what is right and not wrong, even if it means losing a bit of revenue.
