The document discusses the story of August Landmesser, a German man who refused to give the Nazi salute to Hitler. Landmesser was engaged to a Jewish woman named Irma Eckler, and they had a child together. When Landmesser's relationship became known, he was expelled from the Nazi party for refusing to leave his fiancée due to his principles. Landmesser's decision showed that he was honoring his existing bond and covenant of love for Eckler by doing the right thing, despite facing imprisonment and Eckler being sent to a concentration camp where she was believed to have been murdered. The story illustrates how principles and emotions can motivate people to act rationally and do what is

1. We Use
Reason
in Doing
What is
Right

3. OBJECTIVES
 Prove that human acts are
deliberate and willed by man
with the use of reason, so he
or she is responsible for their
consequences
 Determine what rewards come
with choosing to act according
to responsible and ethical ways

4. Having the right principles will
never yield wrong results.
Right principles must be upheld for
they are important in the character
formation of individuals.
Individuals who adhere to their
principles can be said to have
integrity.
They also give importance to clarity
and transparency.

5. A Morally Upright Person
Able to tell the
difference
through reason
Has the capacity to apply
this understanding to
everyday life situations
Has strong
grasp of what is
right and wrong

6. When an object loses its “integrity,”
it loses its pristine and original
quality. It becomes a corrupted or
damaged version.
Likewise, the lack of integrity
through irresponsibility, lack of
ethical commitment, and lack of
reasoning results in disintegration.

7. Disintegration happens because
there is not enough coherence,
reliable focus, and credible claims
to cling to. The whole shatters and
is reduced to its parts, lacking
sense and purpose.
We become irrational beings who
act purely on instinct.

8. Being rational
means using reason in
making decisions and
executing actions that we
can be responsible for.

9. Human acts require the use of reason.
They are either in agreement or
disagreement with it.
When a human act is in agreement with
the dictates of reason, it is considered
good because it adheres to the norm of
morality.
However, if a human act is in
disagreement with reason, it is considered
evil for it does not fit the norm of morality
or what is considered right.

10. Because we are free to think for ourselves,
we are able to make decisions and act
based on our reason.
We are able to take responsibility for our
decisions and actions, especially their
consequences because we have already
considered them prior to making these
decisions and doing these actions.
Therefore, we voluntarily decide and act to
do the right thing after doing a lot of thinking.

11. We only act based on our own reasoning,
and we use our life principles as bases for
our reasoning. This is due to our strong
adherence to personal principles that we are
willing to live up to.

12. We Honor Our Emotions
Through Reason

The Tragically
Powerful Story
Behind the Lone
German Man Who
Refused to Give
Hitler the Nazi Salute

14. The Tragically Powerful Story Behind the Lone German
Man Who Refused to Give Hitler the Nazi Salute
During Hitler’s time, the raising of
the right arm is a form of salute
and respect. However, during
Hitler’s government and
responsibility, genocide of the
Jews took place.
Accordingly, there was a man
named August Landmesser who
refused to salute Hitler. He was
part of the Nazi political party.

15. The Tragically Powerful Story Behind the Lone German
Man Who Refused to Give Hitler the Nazi Salute
But he fell in love with a Jewish woman named
Irma Eckler. They were engaged to be married,
with Irma pregnant. However, when their plan
became known, August was expelled from his
political party. His refusal to abide by the ruling
party’s policy to leave Eckler led him to be
imprisoned. He never had a chance to see his
wife and child. Eckler gave birth in prison to a
child named Irine and was sent to a concentration
camp after delivery where she was believed to
have been murdered with 14,000 others.

16. In the story, it is Landmesser’s love for Eckler that made
him decide to do the right thing and remain true to her.
You may say that it was Landmesser’s emotion that led
him to this decision, but that is not entirely the case.
Landmesser chose to stand by Eckler
because he honored the existing bond
and covenant of love. He thought that it
was only right to adhere to that love
despite the consequences. He did the
right thing by keeping his love for
Eckler intact.

17. If there is something or someone you hold
deeply important, you become willing to go
against the crowd because you cherish that
thing or person. Integrity involves cherishing
your principles at the personal level without
being ashamed to stand for them in public. It
is only logical that when we love or value
something, we become true to it, despite
opposition and threats in our lives..

18. Caring is Definitely
Sharing

19. People want to be treated the
right way.
This principle is two-way for the
both doer and the recipient of a
deed. This secures a
relationship that upholds each
other's values and rights.
It is actually the responsibility
of the members of a
community to look at each
other's welfare.

20. For many Filipinos, the expression of gratitude is taken up through
the expression of concern and responsibility. We want to share
what we have to family members who are lacking. Simply, it is the
right thing to do as an expression of care. Caring is an ethical
expression of right actions and a reason for doing what is right.

22. In both cases, choosing to do
otherwise would not only demonstrate
apathy but also illogical thinking.
Usually, our conscience tells us the
right thing to do in a given situation; it
presumes responsibility. If we shy
away from responsibility, we become
less ethical and rational, neglecting
the concern we feel for others.

23. Using Reason
to Fight Fake News

24. Many people base their idea of responsibility and
right actions on lasting principles and concepts
such as the value of life, fairness, justice, and
caring for the environment.
When principles have no lasting significance, they
can be twisted to suit things that may serve an
abusive purpose. To illustrate this, we may refer
to the ”fake news" phenomenon.

25. In fake news, facts get twisted and the
truth becomes a victim of unethical
motives. Many people are demeaned
and hurt by becoming targets of this
malicious work.
However, we can always challenge the
unethical with the use of reason. We
can evaluate the things that we read,
watch, or hear in order to figure out
what is true or false.

26. Benefits of Doing
the Right Thing

27. First, it allows us to honor the things that
we believe in.
The things that we believe in make up who
we are and if we respect them, then it
shows that we respect and believe in
ourselves as well.

28. Second, doing the right thing allows us to honor
our emotions.
Our emotions are solid bases of our decisions
and actions.
By telling us which feels right or wrong, we are
able to consider them carefully before making
our decisions or acting upon them.

29. Third, we find out the truth about the world.
Whenever we decide to do the right thing, we
expose the truth about ourselves, others, and the
world, which is one of the main goals of us
humans.
We live for knowledge because we are always in a
quest to finding out the truth, and abiding with the
norms of morality leads us to these truths. Doing
what is right sets our minds to accept the truth and
not turn a blind eye or distort it.

30. According to cognitive scientists, humans
are not as rational as we think.
They possess what is
called cognitive
biases that affect the
things they do.
They become impulsive
buyers and easily
influenced by other
people without even
knowing it.

31. “Those who will not reason, are bigots,
those who cannot, are fools,
and those who dare not, are slaves.”
~George Gordon Byron
