1 .Why is man a moral animal?

Because man is a kind of animal that are primates, and share much with other social mammals. We are a particular kind of primate that manipulates ecosystems and organisms across this planet and is capable of intense cruelty and amazing compassion via symbol, language, niche construction, and interaction with other animals and ourselves. So examining what makes up humanmoralityand ethics is important, and commonalities and differences in other species might help us better understand why we do what we do.

The philosopher Aristotle set the stage for the way many people think about the relationship between human minds, morals, and other animals. He stated that humans are unique in that they have reason and they reside high up in the scale ofnature. He recognized that humans are related to the other animals, but considered us a very special kind of being capable of rational thought, something he (and many since him) asserted other organisms do not have. So Aristotle saw continuity with nature, but held that there is something special about human rational thought and thus our morals, and ethics, reflect this distinction. Today, this is a common view for many theologians, philosophers, psychologists and the broader public.

2. Philosopher refers to ethics as the only necessary knowledge. Explain why?

- Philosophers refers ethics as the only necessary knowledge because ethics talk about moral integrity andmoral integrityas attested by the peopleis the true measure of man's greatnessthat is why ethics is considered to be the only necessary knowledge.

3. What do you expect to learn from ethics?

-I expect to learn ethical knowledge like the right way and a wrong way to live your life, to conduct your business and behave in general. Explore alternative ways to conduct yourself and discover why you want to be viewed as an ethical individual, rather than a sly, sneaky or unethical individual.I feel that taking an ethics course is beneficial because not only does it help you understand your own views, but also helps you with decisions, and question actions in the past and current. You learn why people think the way they do, why societies are the way they are and the societies beliefs. You learn about ethical systems, why they are good and bad. Not to mention that debating is a healthy way to learn.

4. Is ethics the same as religion?

For me its no because based on my researched Religion is the collective and individual human reaction to the perception and belief in some kind of supernatural realm, entities that inhabit that realm and their relationship with humanity. While Ethics is a branch of philosophy that addresses questions about morality. Morality(from theLatinmoralitas"manner, character, proper behavior") is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, andactionsbetween those that are goodorrightand those that are bad orwrong.

5. Differentiate between ethical norms and law?

Ethical norms are the unofficial laws or rules underpinned by the cultural power of society. - if you break them you might suffer the social punishment of being made to feel a social outcast or being humiliated. The other form of ethical norms are 'mores' Again they are usually only underpinned by social, not legal, controls .but these are acts against the ethics or mores of the community and have a moral connotation. While Law is asystemof rulesenforced by governmentsto govern behavior. Laws can be made by legislatures through legislation (resulting instatutes), the executive throughdecreesandregulations, or judges through binding precedent(normally incommon lawjurisdictions).
