    A pleasant morning to all of you!

    I am Jhoanne Calvo of BSA 1-1 and today I will


    be presenting the Module 6 Understanding the Act / To begin with, Ethics deals with
    questions like how a person should act, what people think is right, and how an individual
    practice and uses his moral knowledge / As stated by Agapay (1991), / every minute of
    man’s life, he acts and transforms himself and the world around him. / Actions
    constitutes a person who is in control and accountable of himself.
    It is important to know the difference between human acts and acts of man. /
    Human Acts are the actions that proceed from the deliberate free will of a person and is
    characterized as the free and voluntary acts of man / Acts done with consent and
    knowledge / Acts which are proper to man as a natural being/ and Acts which our
    conscious and under our control / Meanwhile, Acts of man are actions that are naturally
    done by man such that they are morally indifferent since we cannot judge them to be
    ethical or not.
    Human Acts possess three following characteristics namely knowledge, free will,
    and voluntariness / Firstly, doing an act with knowledge makes it deliberate in a way
    that the agent is aware of the consequences / Next is Free Will, the idea that we are
    free agents enables us to act as we please that makes us accountable for our actions. /
    And the last one is voluntariness; / it requires the presence of knowledge and freedom
    to the agent thus making the voluntary act willful as well.
    The morality of the human acts is concerned with the knowingly chosen acts of
    human persons. / These come from three sources which are intention, moral object, and
    circumstances. / The intention is the purpose in which the act is chosen. / While the
    moral object is the act itself. / And circumstances are the good and bad consequences
    of the act.
    The modifiers of Human Act are the factors that influence man’s inner disposition
    towards certain action. / First is Ignorance, it is the absence of knowledge which a
    person ought to possess. / It is divided into two: Vincible and Invincible. / Invincible
    ignorance renders an act involuntarily while vincible ignorance is easily reminded
    through ordinary diligence and reasonable efforts. / Next is Passion, these are the
    tendencies towards desirable objects. / There are also types of passion, the antecedent
    and consequent passion. / Antecedent passion are those that predispose a person to
    act whereas consequent passion are those that are intentionally arouse and kept. /
    Another modifier is Fear, it is the disturbance of the mind of a person who is confronted
    by an impending danger. / Grave fear is aroused by the presence of serious danger
    however slight fear is the opposite. / Additionally, there is violence, these refers to any
    physical force exerted on a person by another person which are divided into four types
    namely perfect violence, / physically perfect violence, in which all possible effort of
    resisting is utilized / morally perfect violence, in which all powers of resistance should be
    used but not employed for a good reason / and imperfect violence in which some
    resistance is shown but not as much as should be. / Last but not the least is habits or
    simply the repeated actions done by the agent is lasting readiness and facility, born of
    frequently repeated acts, for acting in a certain manner. / Principles of habits states that
    actions done by force or habit are voluntarily in cause, unless a reasonable effort is
    made to counteract the habitual inclination.
    In conclusion, to be moral is to be human and to be human is to be moral. We
    must use our freedom wisely in order to make the right choices because every action
    we make, matters and can always make difference.
