Module 5: Moral Problems

A. Problem of Moral Obligation is illustrated below:
You became the chief of the police in your place after successufully going after the big time computer hackers and a syndicate engagedin the production and sale of pirated software. One day, you find out that your son is an active hacker. When you confront your son, he promised not to do it anymore. You are now faced with the problem of whether to report your son or protect your son.

B. Most Pervasive is the problem of freedom.

Most people believe that they are born to be free. They can do whatever their hearts desire. These mean that they have infinite possibilities. The problem is that this freedom is bounded by standards of morality. Freedom which allows for limitlessness is limited by rules and regulations.
