Ethics O'level

The primary aim of the Ethics programme is that of a moral education; that is, socializing students into the contemporary moral culture of our society, teaching them to think and deal reflectively with moral matters

SEC Ethics focuses on the acceptability or otherwise of the statements in an argument as distinct from their truth – this is where they learn that evaluation becomes more subjective, since acceptability is subjective. It also delves into the approach or perspective (of rights, consequences, duty, truth, correspondence with virtue) from which the argument is entered which is also subjective. The students learn to write their own reflective commentaries on articles, opinion columns or blogs, stories, and other texts, taken from the print, social media, on topics and issues related to the themes addressed in the programme.

About the subject

The study area SEC Ethics is informed by the National Curriculum Framework (NCF).

The primary aim of the Ethics programme is that of a moral education; that is, socializing students into the contemporary moral culture of our society, teaching them to think and deal reflectively with moral matters, to understand the moral issues they will encounter in their daily lives as adult members of Maltese society and of the world human community, to exercise practical wisdom in articulating their moral judgement, to understand and tolerate cultures, life-styles, outlooks, and life choices different from their own, to offer solidarity to those in their community and elsewhere who suffer injustice, to commit themselves to the peaceful resolution of moral conflict where this occurs, and to respect and support human rights, social justice, and democratic practice. 

At the end of the programme, the student will be able to: 

  • define, discuss and analyse the concepts of open and closed communities and the role of tolerance; understand the self as part of a community of significant others
  • discuss what makes a good role model and how role models inspire us
  • define and discuss the subjects of self-harm, self-respect and responsible online behaviour
  • discuss how selfishness makes us insensitive to the plight of others
  • value the importance of caring for oneself and for others in the pursuit of wellbeing, and understand, critically appraise and reflect upon the care of oneself and how caring for the self cannot be separated from the care for the other
  • understand one’s dependence on others, and the dependence of others on oneself, and the limitations to one’s freedom this requires
  • understand and discuss the right to life of human beings and the value of the life of animals
  • understand and appreciate the difference between treating other human beings as persons rather than as objects; and that the right to life raises controversial issues
  • understand and discuss the main issues raised by actions that take life, create, and conserve it
  • identify and understand life and death issues and reflect on them responsibly; understand and discuss the difference between those who hold that human life is intrinsically valuable and those who argue that only a worthwhile life is valuable
