Name:____________________________________ ERC ______ - ______ Concepts in Ethics & Religious Culture This section presents the concepts that must specifically be learned in ERC. The concepts are compulsory since they are important to the development of the 2 competencies. Their learning will be progressive throughout high school. Dialogue is a great way to learn these concepts. Value: a quality that is attributed to things, attitudes or behaviors which are considered more or less desirable by individuals or groups of people. Ex. “I value my family” Norm: moral requirement that guides behavior. Moral principles and moral rules are norms. Ex. “No cell phones at the table” Ethical question: a question about a subject of reflection or a problem to be solved concerning values and norms used by members of society to guide and regulate their conduct. Ex. Is the high cost of gas doing anything for the environment? Ethical issue: value or norm that is the subject of an ethical question. Ex. “Is it always necessary to tell the truth?” involves the ethical issue of honesty Form of religious expression: relates to one or more dimensions of a religion. It takes root and develops in a socio-cultural universe. Ex. Torah, Bible, the sweat lodge, the minaret, Puja, Christmas, the Buddhist temple and certain street names referring to saints are forms of religious expression. Moral principle: norm that defines what must be done or not be done to achieve what is deemed right. Ex. “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” and “respect your neighbor” are moral principles. Moral rule: a moral norm that specifies how a moral principle should be applied in a given situation or how a value should be brought to the forefront in such a situation. Ex. “software pirating is prohibited” could come from “don’t steal from others” or from the value of honesty. (Frame of) Reference: a resource from the social and cultural environment to which a person can refer to nurture and clarify ethical reflection. Ex. References can be of a moral, religious, scientific, literary or artistic nature. World View: a perspective individuals have on themselves and their surroundings. This perspective shapes each individual’s thinking, feelings, and behaviors and provides an implicit or explicit explanation of the totality of what is real. Ex. The world view takes shape based on life experiences, human relations, values, norms, beliefs and convictions.
