Introduction
Third week lecture class, lecturer taught us about “Eastern ethic”. Confucius (551bce- 479bce),
dominant thinker was a Chinese teacher, editor and a politician. His teaching emphasized selfcultivation, emulation of moral example.
Above all, in the tutorial class Mr. Jaime taught us about critical thinking; how to compute the grades
and we did quiz for week 4. He also told us about the importance of writing fast and gave example of
the higher studies.
In the lecture class, lecturer taught us about 'philosophy and ethical thinking in ancient Greece.' The
people of Greece started trading things thousands of years ago with different countries. For example
they traded wine, pottery, and so on for wheat's and other foods.
Islamic ethic defined as "good character," historically took shape gradually from the 7th century and was
finally established by the 11th century. It was eventually shaped as a successful amalgamation of the Qur’an
teachings, the teachings of the Sunnah of Muhammad, the precedents of Islamic jurists (see Sharia and
Fiqh), the pre-Islamic Arabian tradition, and non-Arabic elements (including Persian and Greek ideas)
embedded in or integrated with a generally Islamic structure.
Week 3: Eastern Ethic
1) Cognitive Level 1(KNOWLEDGE: RECALL): Third week lecture class, lecturer taught us about
“Eastern ethic”. Confucius (551bce- 479bce), dominant thinker was a Chinese teacher, editor and a
politician. His teaching emphasized self-cultivation, emulation of moral example.
Above all, in the tutorial class Mr. Jaime taught us about critical thinking; how to compute the grades
and we did quiz for week 4. He also told us about the importance of writing fast and gave example of
the higher studies.
Complete contents: Examples: He is an example of human excellence, serves ultimate model. He
wanted to solve the practical problem in the real world that time and what must be done in order to
bring peace, order, stability and unity to the chaotic and violent world.
2) Cognitive Level 2 About the Persian ethical thought, Zorathous (Zorastre) a prophet who was born
in 1760 bc and died in 1683 bc is said that the word of “Avesta” the scarce book is his. It was written
long time after he died. One question comes in my mind, the lecturer told that there was no paper that
time, so it was orally transmitted, so the words in Avesta; is it the exact word of Zorathous without any
mistake?
3) Cognitive Level 3 I can analyze it and say that Confucius try to change the world in order to bring
the peace, unity and stability to this violent world. How much ever he tried I don’t think he can
change the world because if one crime dies another crime will born.
4) Cognitive Level 4 We also learned about the Japanese art of ethics. Japanese speaks three
languages: 1) Hiragana 2) Katakana 3) Kanji and the two main religions of Japanese people are
Buddhism and Shintoism. The principles of Japanese people are discipline, cleanliness, politeness, hard
work and so on
5) Cognitive Level 5 Japan is highly modern and deeply ethical and perhaps a question can asked on
that topic “japan has been able to enter modernity, be a leading center of technology, and at the same
time retain its ethical essence, how did they achieve that?” from my point of view the hard work and
the way of never giving up lead them to achieve that. For example, an atom bomb was drop there and
because of that one part of japan was destroy but they managed to recover that in no time because of
their hard work and the way of never giving up.
Week 4: Ethical thinking in Ancient Greece
1) Cognitive Level 1(KNOWLEDGE: RECALL): In the lecture class, lecturer taught us about
'philosophy and ethical thinking in ancient Greece.' The people of Greece started trading things
thousands of years ago with different countries. For example they traded wine, pottery, and so on for
wheat's and other foods. So, while trading goods they spread around the world and settled in
different parts of world. In tutorial class, we did two quiz about my belief, situation that is against
my belief and what decision i took and why? Mr. Jaime my lecturer brief us on the marks, quiz, and
what should we do to get good marks. What you need to do?
1) Make the sample
2) Understand the errors
3) Correct the errors
4) APA citation and reference
5) APA formatting
6) Know and correct your spelling and vocabulary and so on.
Complete contents: Examples: Trading, setting, intermarrying and culture contact.
1) Cognitive Level 2 what I understood is Socrates was a Greek philosopher who was forced to
take poison because of some unknown reason. And Palto was his student and Aristotle was
Plato's student. Socrates had an argument with the Sophist. 'Sophist ' means something to do
with wisdom or its said "brains of hire"
2) Cognitive Level 3 I can analyze it and say that Greek was much developed back in the past
compare to other countries because they started trading from that time it self and trading
means math which means they were good at it and including there were lots of famous
philosopher like Socrates, Plato, Newton’s and so many other whose laws are followed till
now and it will be followed in the future too.
3) Cognitive Level 4 the people of Greek lived a luxury life that time by drinking good wines
and buying slaves for their works and lots more.
4) Cognitive Level 5 Mr. C.K. Raju (lecturer, historian and a philosopher) says that Socrates was
killed because he did not believed in gods but in astronomy and other lecturer in the class
says there is no unknown reason why he died. So who is rite and who is wrong. Perhaps a
question can be asked ‘was it ethical to kill Socrates and hide the reasons?’
Week 5: Cognitive Style
1) Cognitive Level 1(KNOWLEDGE: Description): I learned how to get high marks using
cognitive styles. Conciseness meaning the idea is complete with the least number of words
used and “*Latin concsus, past participle of concdere, to cut up: com-, intensive pref.;
see com- + caedere, to cut; see ka-id- in Indo-European roots.+”(From Google), clarity
meaning the idea is very clear to reader. Whatever we write the idea must be clear to
reader not the writer. And I learned about the Transparency and Differentiation and also
about no thinking skills.
Complete contents: examples, once there was a boy name Sean, who was a great cook working
under rich land lord. His master order him to cook lamb and a beef with lots of vegetable but
instead the cook cooked fish and made some soup. So, the land lord got angry and ordered his
guard to kill him
2) Cognitive Level 2 From my point of view transparency means the reader can find the
information about the source; where it is borrowed from and differentiation means that the
reader can easily distinguish borrowed and original ideas.
3) Cognitive Level 3 We must focused more on ‘creating’ because it gives the highest marks
of all. In creating we have to plan, compose, invent, and design, and so on. After that it
comes the evaluating, analyzing, applying, remembering, and no thinking skills
4) Cognitive Level 4 by applying all this in writing your reflection diary you will not only get
high marks but the one who is correcting you will also become happy. It will help us after we
graduated from the college and when we start to work.
5) Cognitive Level 5 by putting the ethical frame work and this together I think that our
reflection diary would be better and unique from other student.

Week 6: Islamic Ethic
1) Cognitive Level 1(KNOWLEDGE: RECALL): Islamic ethic defined as "good character," historically took
shape gradually from the 7th century and was finally established by the 11th century. It was
eventually shaped as a successful amalgamation of the Qur’an teachings, the teachings of the
Sunnah of Muhammad, the precedents of Islamic jurists (see Sharia and Fiqh), the pre-Islamic
Arabian tradition, and non-Arabic elements (including Persian and Greek ideas) embedded in or
integrated with a generally Islamic structure.
Complete contents: Examples: if a man behaves good and follows whatever that is written in Quran like
don’t drink alcohol, do not gamble and so on means he has a good character and in Islam he is a true
Muslim.
2) Cognitive Level 2 what I understood from the Islamic ethics is that gambling or drinking alcohol is
not ethical as it causes damages to our self as well as other and I believe in that too. And I
understood that it goes more towards Divine command ethics because it talks more about the god
and he’s words in Qur’an.
3) Cognitive Level 3 the ‘fatra’ latency period between Jesus and Muhammad and the “Ba’th” when
the Muhammad was raised, the Islamic ethics was spread rapidly. Abandonment of some very
common practices as infanticide, gambling, etc. is forbidden. This all were included in the Islamic
ethics. Perhaps a question can be asked in this situation ‘why eating pork is forbidden in Islam’s
ethics but not in others?’
4) Cognitive Level 4 In the class question was raised by me “is it ethical for Muslim women to wear
scarf in the hot climate?” so there were lots of discussion on that topic. Many answers came but
none had any connection to that topic as they were telling all about “chocolate, pregnancy, queen
and so on”. And not only that, the ones who were not wearing scarf was offended by the term
“chocolate” and they also spoke in front of everyone. Due to my question another question was
asked by one guy “if there were two chocolate on the road one cover and another one without
cover, which one would you pick?”
5) Cognitive Level 5 by viewing other ethical frame work, Islamic ethics can also be said as Divine
command frame work because Islamic ethics follows whatever that is written in Quran and it’s said
that Quran is written by the God or Allah. Some of the Islamic ethical frame work is very good such
as drinking alcohol is forbidden and gambling is forbidden as it causes lot of trouble. It is good to be
forbidden not only in Islamic ethics but in all other ethics too.
Week 9: Three Kittens
Cognitive Level 1 (KNOWLEDGE: RECALL) Today in tutorial class Mr Jaime taught us how to get more marks.
He told us about the panel decision, paper writing, reflective diary and the final presentation. He taught us
how to use cognitive style in these all assignments and to get high marks.
And last week Sunday with a very pleasant weather in the evening, not cold not hot, slightly warm me and
my friends sat on the floor of Mr Jaime’s office. One by one everyone started to speak with the voice like
thunder and moderator judging the speakers along with Mr Jaime. The panel discussion was warmly ended
with a smile on everyone’s faces.
Complete contents: Examples, There used to be three kittens and their mother near the dining hall till
last week. But some of the staff member came and took all three kittens and now whenever I go to
eat breakfast, I see the mother crying. Perhaps a question can be asked in this situation ‘is it ethical
to take all three kittens and leave their mother crying alone?’
Cognitive Level 2: By taking three kittens by the staff members for the kittens’ benefits may sound
good but they are harming the mother too. So he or she cannot be a good human being. And last
week similar type of question was asked in panel discussion by the moderator “is it ethical to kill
animal in the Hindu festivals?”
Cognitive Level 3: According to Arthur Schopenhauer (German Philosopher) “Compassion for animals
is intimately connected with goodness of character and it may be confidently asserted that he who is
cruel to animals cannot be a good man.” By putting together what Mr Jaime taught us about the
divine command i.e., based on religious beliefs and the story of the kittens; it’s not ethical at all
because god will punish those who treats animal badly (Buddhist beliefs).
About Arthur Schopenhauer (German Philosopher) you will be able to find the information and the
Quote in this website:

Conclusion(s)
Japan is highly modern and deeply ethical and perhaps a question can asked on that topic “japan has
been able to enter modernity, be a leading centre of technology, and at the same time retain its ethical
essence, how did they achieve that?” from my point of view the hard work and the way of never giving
up lead them to achieve that. By viewing other ethical frame work, Islamic ethics can also be said as Divine
command frame work because Islamic ethics follows whatever that is written in Quran and it’s said that Quran
is written by the God or Allah
