Reflective Writing #3

Moral Relativism

To start with I personally have had issues accepting my dad’s culture and the choices and the decisions he makes based on his understanding of the culture. My mother is of a different background and it has been really difficult to cope with what we go through at home and what I go through with others. In my understanding what I try to do is take the best out of the two that are effective in a civilized society.moving on to my experience at ZHO, at ZHO we have people of all ages with different disabilities, it was very a very difficult process to try to make them understand what we wanted from them. They cant accept just anything you throw at them, some of them are mentally slow, so how we react has a great impact on them physically and mentally. Surely at ZHO they try to apply culture and way of life and understanding to themselves.  They have different and limited abilities which in turn make us differ from the culture in order to develop them mentally to accept later on. Some might not reach that level, and what I have seen at ZHO was a process of utilitarianism, they practice different ways to gain the happiness of the students they have there yet at the same time developing them physically and mentally.

There were some situations where deontological ethics took place, the instructors would enforce rules and regulations on the students whether they liked it or not, and were forced to do what the instructors had instructed them to do.

My reaction to the time spent there was kind of different every time we went there, there were some student who were just curious and they would just come up to us and talk to us like they have known us for a long time, yet I was uncomfortable in a way with some of them as I do not like to touched by others that often makes me feel weird there were situations where I had to actually yell at them and told them to stay away from me because they were bothering me a lot. I had practiced the rule of deontological ethics to let them know where I stand in front of them, and there were times where I practiced utilitarianism just to get them to be at a distance from me.

To conclude I have learned so much at ZHO, it’s not easy to school people who are impaired and have mental and physical disabilities , yet I tried my best to make myself happy and the students there happy as well, I learned how to cope with certain types of disabilities with some people , so now in the future id know how to react in situations when the time calls for it, ‘ been a weird yet good experience and hope for many more things to come for the coming students who will partake the same course.
