human acts

• Etiquette


  Valuations about certain ways of doing things that people approve or disapprove of, like not making noise inside a library
• Double Effects


  The wrongful consequence is expected and can be either unintended or intended when making a decision
• Freedom


  • Considered an important element in making moral valuation
  • Without which, no amount of reasoning can justify the ethical value of an act
  • Moral actions can only emanate from individuals who act according to their free will to do good
  • Moral valuation and moral responsibility cannot be ascribed to actions devoid of the freedom to act
• Reason


  • One should have good reason for deciding
  • A good reason is not one-sided or looks only at the interest of the one making decisions
  • When deciding, we also look at the advantages of what we could get from that decision, but we should also see that there are other people who would be affected
