Day 1

1. What is courage to you?
-courage for me is when a person wants to do something or an act of doing, without hesitation, without fear, without even thinking of what will going to happen or what will be the result after the action a person does.

2. What is moral courage?
- moral courage is an act of doing something you know that is right. You don't even think of yourself of what will happen to you, all you want to do is to help. You don't expect of something or an exchange after the action you made.

3. What are some historic and recent example of moral courage and moral cowardice?
- example:
>In the story of Cathy James, there was a boy who was being bullied on by some kids in the smoking section. Right as a teacher was about to stop the harmful game, a school girl beat him to it. She was a perfect example of moral courage. You should use moral courage because it helps people get out of situations and you will probably be thanked at the end.
> If someone were to crash in the middle of the road you wouldn’t think about the passing cars, and you would just run in.

  1. What is courage for me?

    Courage for me is when you face danger, fear, and when you also have confidence on certain things that you’re afraid of or having the guts to be not frightened to do a certain event; I may also call it bravery.

    Courage is when you do certain things that clearly motivate you to have confidence; you also try to confront the danger, risk, and fear. Having the courage to do something isn’t hard but sometimes one thing that prevails actually is when you face the reality of maybe it would create a negative aspect for someone or even yourself. There’s no harm actually in trying but sometimes we need to realize that we must think first when we act.

  2. What is moral courage? It is actually doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do. Sometimes it’s hard to understand why we need to do the right thing because we let our mind think as if it’s a responsibility that has a price, in exchange of your deed. Doing the right thing will always have an outcome and it will always be positive. Something different though, is when you choose to do the right thing because you just want to avoid scandals or something that would create gossips to someone.

    What is moral cowardice? It is something that accepts an evil God just to avoid his/her pain, it may be physical pain or emotional. For me, it’s immoral but I don’t want to condemn others perspective because in my own perception we build a gap through the faith of our fidelity of trusting our one and only God.

  3. -recent experience-

    There are times when you try to give up and you wanted to end up your problems by not facing the reality and yet you still end up unsuccessful because it would still hunt you until it will be recovered. Facing the situation isn’t the problem but accepting the reality that you’re irresponsible is a big insult. Accepting it was the right thing to do, hard but it created a positive outcome because it served as a lesson and it would be a reason to surpass something that you might feel adequately fresh with resemblance that may lead you to the right path.
