1 - My upbringing and those around me influence my morals and decisions, helping me differentiate good and bad.

2 - This generation still has a strong sense of sin. Although most times sin is justified by the masses, people still know right from wrong.

3 - I have justified a wrong decision for that reason. I learned that sin can easily be ignored just because of popularity and common agreements, even if for an immoral reason.

(1) You can decide whether something is good or bad by utilizing your moral compass. Our moral compass is mainly influenced by our experiences, cultures, human nature, and faith.

(2) Yes, I do believe that our generation still has a strong "sense of sin." I believe that more people are becoming aware of their actions and standing up for what is right.

(3) Yes, I have tried to justify a wrong action because "everyone is doing it." However, we must learn that if something is done by everyone it doesn't necessarily mean that it is right. Sometimes, we need to go against what is "normal" to do what is right.

1. To me, our moral compass is shaped by our surroundings, circumstances, beliefs, and culture. These things help us perceive what is good and what is bad.

2. With the amount of awareness happening, especially with the rise of social media, I believe our generation does have a sense of sin. Though it's inevitable that people commit sin, our generation still knows what is right and wrong.

3. Yes, I have done so, but I now know that a sin isn't excusable just because it's common. Popularity doesn't excuse immorality.

1.) My moral compass was influenced by my environment and exposure to media at a young age. It shaped certain values I believe, leading me to do what I do now.

2.) This generation has a muddied but still present sense of sin. While many things usually considered sinful are now considered morally gray, we also keep our laws and beliefs firm, with many still believing in justice albeit in a flawed way.

3.) I have, and it is quite a common reason. Generally speaking, the "normalcy" of something determines how likely we are to follow it. While many things like that are harmless, sometimes it is damaging to us if we follow it blindly, which is why we need to be critical and now blindly follow either our personal beliefs or trends, especially if doing so leads to sin or hurting others.

1. I decide if something is good or bad based on my values and conscience. My decisions are influenced by how they affect others and whether they bring peace or harm. I also consider what the Church teaches and what feels right deep inside.

2. I think many people today are less aware of what sin really means. Some may seem normal because they are common and/or accepted online. But I believe some still care deeply about doing good and avoiding harm. It depends on how they were raised and what they believe in.

3. Yes, it is easy to be tempted because others were doing the same thing. At first, it felt ok but later, I realized that it was wrong. I felt guilty and learned to follow my own values, not just what's in. It will bring

(1) I see if whether the actions I do affect people in a negative or positive way. So that in the process of making that decision I try my best to pick the best option that's right. What influences my behavior is my moral "compass" because it guides me to know how to differentiate if the things said and do are good or evil. This "compass" of mine formed after years of various situations, culture, mindset, and lastly experience.

(2) Somewhat, although now the constant bombardment of social media has quite the sight to behold. Because now there's been tons of bad stuff leaking out to the world that my generation seems to be influenced by it.

(3) Yes, sadly I have to admit it has turned me into a person of "double standards". Sometimes I allow things that I wouldn't have done because others were quote on quote "doing it". And because of this it led me to a a path of constant questions about my belief in myself that I could make right decisions again, which in hindsight is a bad mindset. That's why now I try my best to think before I act because the things I do and say will or could possibly affect others in ways that're not morally "right".

1. I decide whether something is right or wrong based on what God and my parents have taught (their toward me are very similar). I usually apply what they have taught into various situations in my life. Personally it's my parents and God that was influences my perception of right or wrong because they are the ones I am closest to most of my life.

2. Sometimes I think that this generation has a worsening sense of sin. Nowadays sins like drinking and other vices done at a young age are justified, as "part of life" or, "experience points". I believe that this generation's decisions are solely based off of temptations

3. Well when I was in my other school(kindergarten). All my classmates were cheating so my child brain thought since everyone is doing it, I should too. I did it and I was the first one to get caught. This kind of experience taught me that temptations and societal norms shouldnt be the reason for you to break your values, instead you need to stay true to them just as God wants us to do

# data[].attributes.body
1. My family and God are the main influence when I decide my decisions. They inspire me to do what is right, good, and just. When deciding whether an action is good or bad, I tend to ask myself if this affects others in a good way or a bad way.

2. I believe that this generation has little sense of sin. Sure, we may know the definition of sin, and that we must not do anything of ill intent. But we tend to be unaware of our actions which leads us to commit sin or do something of ill intent.

3. Back then, there was this group who would do things that are considered "bad", and they willingly do bad things to look cool and tough, but I know that they know it is not right. Of course, I did not follow them, but I see people being pressured by them to act the same way they do, and I find it quite sad and frustrating because they are in fact not cool nor tough.

# data[].attributes.body
1.) When it comes to deciding what action to take whether it is good or bad, I often find myself referring to the character of God. As a Christian, I believe that there is inherent goodness within God's nature that gives Him the authority to enforce what is right or wrong. Because of this, good is what God commands or wants from us while bad is what God forbids us to do.

2.) I believe that recent generations have began to lose this "strong sense of sin" due to the general decline of religious belief in society. Because of factors such as modernization, increased secularism, a decline in traditional values/beliefs, etc. some young people choose to become less religious. This in part can weaken moral foundation among individuals which religion provides.

3.) There were multiple occasions where I had the mentality of choosing to do something wrong because everyone else was also doing the same. Depending on the setting, I would have always justified it because I thought it would lessen the consequences of my actions. Understanding this, it has made me realize that following whatever others are doing can lead to me suppressing my own moral values, causing me to act on poor decisions and never actually affecting outcomes.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I determine if something is good or bad based on the values I uphold, and the teachings I've been given. These decisions are guided by what I've experienced in my whole life, which have culminated into the moral compass I have today. This moral compass is shaped by my religion, the school's teachings, as well as the family environment.

2. In this generation, I believe that though the "sense of sin" is still present, people have a weaker sense toward it. Nowadays, secular activities are pretty normalized within our society today, which can lead people the wrong direction. However, that is not to disregard the rise of youths in this generation, who are willing to live by what's just, and are willing to point out what's wrong in our society through platforms such as social media.

3. Yes I have tried to justify a wrong action because everyone is doing it. I get swayed pretty easily when everyone does it, especially when it's something I do not have a strong foundation for. There are times when I bring this action outside of that environment, and it is because of that I learn it is wrong. Even if it may be normal in one place, does not mean another place will treat it as such.

# data[].attributes.body
1.For me I decide whether something is good or bad from my past experiences, what I've been taught, and my values. Having experienced it in the past can allow me to learn from mistakes and know the consequences of certain actions. Having someone else help me decide is also important so that it won't have bias and that comes from God, faith, and my trusted family and friends.

2. I do believe this generation still has a sense of sin, though it may be different from previous generations I do not believe that it is a bad thing. This is because back then they had little awareness of other cultures, nations, and their practices.

3. Yes I have, and what I've learned is that most of the time it is better to stick with what you believe is right, but I also think it is important to know where they are coming from and understand it to see if it really is a good or bad thing.

# data[].attributes.body
(1) To me, judgments are bad or good based on one's own values, conscience, and logic. The ultimate assessment of what I do is through reflection. If I am in doubt about what I have done or am about to do, I pause and ask myself, "Does this hurt or benefit someone? " This question enables me to react with empathy by putting myself into another person's shoes. Values shape reflection, and they not only shape our character but also the way we react to the world. One of the values that I have is altruistic generosity—doing something good for someone simply because you feel like helping, with no payment or reward offered or demanded in return. This illustrates the basis on which we act. But values only go so far; they act in through our conscience, an internal voice that encourages us towards or away from a path. For instance, in Grade 5, I was tempted to cheat on a test. Everything was online, and it was tempting to look up answers—but my conscience told me it wasn't the best thing to do. That internal voice brought me back in alignment with my values. In addition to values and conscience, I also depend on rational thinking to assess the truth in a situation. Emotions are valid, but they can sometimes distort our judgment. By keeping logic and emotions balanced, I remind myself that even with a good intention, it doesn't always justify an act. For instance, stealing food for someone hungry can be due to sympathy, yet still, the action harms and betrays. The right way would be better to politely ask the seller for assistance or a promise of paying later. However, not all positive intentions produce good outcomes which makes human decision-making so intricate.

Overall, with the assistance of my conscience, values, and rational thinking, I attempt to make decisions through genuine self-reflection, consistently striving for what is genuinely right.

(2) I believe whether or not this generation possesses a good "sense of sin" is determined by what we consider to be "sin." The concept of sin has become complicated, particularly in today's times. Dating prior to marriage and drinking alcohol, for instance, are considered sins in the past, but now they are mostly accepted as the norm. But that does not necessarily mean we do not care about right and wrong. Rather, I think we mostly care about fairness, justice, and doing good to others. For instance, I notice that most youth participate in protests regarding climate change or engage in movements because they feel that it is the right thing to do. I don't think that the concept of sin is less powerful, but this generation still believes in doing the right thing but in a new way.

(3) I believe most people, myself included at times, have attempted to say, "Everyone is doing it," as a way of justifying doing something that is wrong. It occurs due to peer pressure—when individuals do something simply because others are doing it, even though it does not feel right. For instance, I may have considered cheating on an exam if several of my classmates were cheating; I would have wanted to do so as well to keep pace. But I learned that just because many people do something doesn’t mean it is the right path, because doing a horrible action everyone else does invokes guilt within me later if it goes against my own values. For example, I might join in teasing someone at first but later feel bad and decide to stop and be kind instead. In short, not many people have the courage to stand alone when the world is against them, even if their choice is the right one. This proves that people are under control of the opinions of others and not their own values, emphasizing the fear of being rebuked and desire for validation.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I believe that morality is inherently subjective, and I interpret my own in a multitude of ways. In my eyes, the discerning force of my morality is built upon my moral compass—honed from the hurdles I faced in the past, my interpretation of the present, and the future I want to live for myself.

2. On a global scale and from a religious perspective, we can see the rising identity of Catholicism in Generation Z, so it becomes all too clear what is and what is not a sin for them. But this factor is not indicative of “decreasing sin levels”; in fact, the prospect of social media, and most especially the internet, allows sin to reach another level of atrocity.

3. “Conformity is an illusion molded from the pressure of wanting to fit in society” is something I think about whenever I hear the N-word spoken by “morally responsible people.” This situation illustrates just how society has fallen prey to that oppressive pressure—from power dynamics in gender and hate speech to academic dishonesty and the casual racism mentioned, they all promote this “mob mentality” that perpetuates division and disregards any respect for His will. So society, including me, must be reminded of the virtue that emerges when we reject the status quo, because when we promote independent thinking, we strengthen our hearts against sin.

1. To decide whether something is good or bad, I usually think about its effects on others and whether it aligns with my values and beliefs. I also consider what I’ve learned from our culture and faith. The people around me, my conscience, and the moral lessons I’ve been taught all influence the choices I make.

2. I think this generation’s sense of sin has become weaker in some ways. Many people today base their moral standing on personal values and social standards, which can sometimes lead to ignoring what is morally right or wrong. However, I believe there are still many young people who try to do what's right, they just express it differently.

3. Yes, I have. There were times when I followed what others were doing just to fit in, even though I knew it wasn’t right. I realized later that doing something wrong doesn’t become right just because many people do it. I learned that it’s more important to stand by what’s right, even if it means standing alone.

1. I decide whether something is good or bad by observing. I observe the environment, my surroundings, and the things that happen around me, then I reflect on whether those decisions or events hurt others. This, and the teachings of God, are the foundation of my moral compass, which guides me to make decisions that wouldn't hurt anyone.

2. I think this generation still has a strong sense of sin. However, as time evolves and our world adapts to accept change, our perspective of sin changes as well. The rise of online media helped us grow up in a way that let us see other people's perspectives and how other people deal with the challenges around them. Our ideas of sins aren't so linear and traditional anymore.

3. Throughout my life, I sometimes tend to "follow the crowd" and do whatever the majority does. Despite that, I'm trying to grow and learn from it and realize the impact my actions can have and the importance of staying true to myself and to my morals.

# data[].attributes.body
1. For me, good actions are actions that are moral and benefit society, while bad actions are immoral and are deliberately done to harm society. What influences my decisions is my upbringing and the thingd I learn from the people around me.

2. In our generation, it's evident majority of our moral compassds have been eroded due to external pressures and influence. With this, I feel like our generation has a very weak sense of sin, with many of us not showing remorse for our actions and even repeating mistakes.

3. I have tried to justify a qrong action because everyone is doing it. I instantly felt regret after, and learned that I shouldn't compromise my own values just to follow what other people are telling me to do or what other people are doing.

# data[].attributes.body
1. When deciding whether something is good or bad, I think of how that action would affect others. It also depends on what your intentions are. I believe our actions are influenced by our upbringing. The environment you grew up and the people around you shape the way you are today. Overtime, they become our moral compasses.

2. To me, it’s easy to teach someone the difference between right and wrong. However, in this day and age where people are more open in sharing their ideas especially on social media, it’s easy to get lost. It’s hard to tell what is right and wrong when people are brought up differently. Nowadays, kids just follow with whatever trend there is to be part of the group. This generation still has a strong sense of sin, but it’s hard to keep it up when the lines between good and bad seem to blur.

3. One action I can think of is using my phone in class. I’ve done it several times because other classmates do it as well. If I don’t get caught , I thought to myself, “This isn’t going to hurt anyone”. Later on, I realized that even if no one notices, it’s myself that gets affected. Using my phone in class would mean that I would miss the lesson, and I would get left behind. Worst case scenario, if I do get caught, bye-bye phone for 1 week, and I’d have to confront my parents about it.

1 - I think that our sense of morality is influenced by the people around us, the situations we faced, our personal beliefs, and the culture and environment we grew up in. These factors shape how we define and understand what is right and what is wrong.

2 - I think our generation still values the idea of sin. Even though mistakes are unavoidable, we still have a clear understanding of what actions are good and bad but most of the sins usually done nowadays are not usually normalized.

3 - Yes, I’ve done that before and I am guilty for doing it, but I’ve realized that doing something wrong doesn’t become acceptable just because many people do it. Being common doesn’t make an action morally right.

1. Personally, I decide whether something is good or bad by my conscience. When I think about doing something, my "inner voice" is the one that leads me to decide if it's good or bad. I also believe that my conscience is connected to my spirituality. Growing up in my church, the values and ideas rubbed off on me and my own judgements about morality are affected.

2. I believe that this generation still has a strong sense of sin. Our generation has a strong sense of morality. Most of us don't shy away from saying what's right, especially when social justice, empathy, and accountability is involved.

3. Yes, I've tried to justify a wrong answer just because everyone is doing it. When something is normalized, it's easy to forget the moral aspect of things. You'll think, "pwede ra mn diay," when it's actually something wrong. From these experiences, I learned the importance of forbearance and being constant. Despite the strong winds of influence, we should stand strong and settle our roots in moral ideas and reflection.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I personally believe that my values and morals highly influence how I decide whether something is good or bad. My conscience tells me whenever something feels wrong, which is perceived differently by each one of us. We are often shaped by various values taught by family, religious faith, social norms, and etc. For me, these help guide me when I'm uncertain about a choice.

2. I believe our generation still has a "sense of sin," though it has become weaker compared to before. I think this is because our generation may sometimes fail to see certain actions as "sinful" especially when it is normalized and accepted by others. However, I see that more people are becoming aware and vocal about standing for what's right especially in the digital world.

3. Yes, I have tried to justify a wrong action just because everyone is doing it. For example, there are times when I perceive an action is "normal" just because others do it, it would reassure me that it was harmless since I wasn't the only one doing it. However, I began to realize that following the crowd doesn't make an action right. We all have different values and beliefs and it's important to acknowledge our own roots. I've learned that it's okay to stand for what's right even if I have to go against what others are doing.

1. Deciding whether something is good or bad can be influenced by a lot of things. For me, I believe our moral compasses are largely impacted by our past experiences, cultures & beliefs, and the people we surround ourselves with. 2. With the rise of social media and the mass sharing of media and ideas, our global perception of sin has definitely changed. I think this generation has definitely normalized some sins, and it definitely needs to change, however I still believe our generation still has a strong sense of sin. Whenever I see videos or posts that contain something bad or sinful, I still see comments or reactions opposing them and upholding the qualities or morality. 3. Yes, I have, and I greatly regretted it. Doing something wrong, just because everybody else does it should never be an acceptable reason to do it. We must not participate in this herd mentality, wherein it is simply okay to do a wrong just because the masses are doing it.

(1) I often undergo through a long thought process to indicate if it’s good or bad. It helps me to think about the future actions and consequences before I make a move. I base my decisions through numerous experiences, inner conscience, culture, and the people I’ve been with for a long time. It serves to me as a moral compass to indicate the goodness and the bad things that’d happen if ever I decide.

(2) I believe our generation still has a strong “sense of sin”. Though our understanding of sin may have weakened down from many generations, but it doesn’t mean that we lack moral compass. Instead, our current generation has other ways in identifying to know what’s right or wrong.

(3) Yes, I have tried to justify a wrong action by thinking, “everyone is doing it,” and I’ve also found myself doing something simply because others were doing it too.

For example, I’ve seen many people online making jokes about the serious calamities happening in the Philippines. Some use it for content or treat it lightly, even risking their lives just to post something, without truly meaning to help or raise awareness. It made me reflect on how people often follow trends without considering the consequences or the deeper impact of their actions.

I’ve learned that you may always go to a different direction of choices even if everyone’s doing the opposite. We always have the power to choose a better direction, even when it’s not the easiest or most common path.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I decide whether something is good or not based on the principles and values I learned at home, school and at church. My parents and relatives help me by teaching me what I right and wrong and also what I learned in CLF and the bible which taught me different lessons to help me differentiate what is right and wrong.

2. I believe that this generation still has a strong "sense of sin". Nowadays with social media, people are able to be more aware of their actions and if what they are doing is wrong. In our generation now though, there are sins that are seen as culturally accepted or alright or at least not as bad as before compared to the past generations like drinking or swearing.

3. Yes, when I was younger I used to try and justify to my parents that what I was doing was what everyone else my age was doing. I learned from my parents that just because everyone is doing it, it doesn't make it right and that we should never justify our actions with this reason.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Personally, I decide based on my conscience and the values I learned from my family, experiences, and most especially my faith. Additionally, I also reflect through my feelings afterwards, whether I feel proud or guilty, and that usually tells me if I thought I made the right decision.

2. I don’t necessarily label it as a “weakened” sense of sin, but there are now more blurred lines between what is considered a sin and what is not. I believe that social media plays a major role in shaping how people think, making certain sins feel acceptable or “normal” because many others do them as well. Though, I still believe that most people in this generation have a moral conscience. The “sense of sin” does not merely disappear through time.

3. Yes, there were instances wherein I justified wrong actions because everyone else was doing them. At first, it generally felt harmless, but overtime a sense of guilt built up within me.  I learned that doing what’s right should come from my own conscience, not from what the majority chooses to do.

# data[].attributes.body
1. My mind bases thoughts and potential decisions on values I was taught when growing up. However, I do not think that these values will influence me to do the right thing all the time. Therefore, when I decide on something, I first consider the situation and how this choice of mine can affect others.

2. It seems that way. With certain content on social media and multiple wars around the world, it demonstrates the unfaithfulness of humanity and their mistrust towards religion.

3. To be completely honest, there were multiple times wherein I followed someone else's actions because I believed majority did it. And it's not only in situations of peer pressure, but also within the entire society. It feels suffocating--having your own ideas, thoughts, only to not be able to make your own decisions because of certain standards. But recently, I have learned to find God in everything I do; I learned to pray and discern my solutions, before I give an answer.

# data[].attributes.body
1.) Personally, I determine what’s good or bad based on what is the lesser evil and what abides by the rules given to me. Usually people of authority, those I love, and expectations that follow me influence my decisions.

2.) I think that our generation’s “sense of sin” isn’t as strong as previous generations. We’ve become too complacent and forgiving of sins because “we all make mistakes” is something instilled in us from social media.

3.) I learned that just because everyone’s doing it, doesn’t mean I should too. Maybe it didn’t ruin their lives, but who knows, maybe it’ll ruin mine. I should just be good and listen to the instructions from my parents or elders.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I decide whether something is good or bad based on my Christian and Catholic values. My faith teaches me to choose what is right and pleasing to God. I am also guided by the traditions I share with my family and friends, which remind me to stay respectful, kind, and honest. Most importantly, my conscience plays a big role in my decisions, it helps me feel when something isn’t right and reminds me to correct my mistakes and act with integrity.

2. Honestly, I don’t think this generation has a strong sense of sin anymore. Many people have become careless and often take advantage of God’s forgiveness without truly feeling sorry or making an effort to change. Apologies are said easily, but real repentance and transformation are often missing. It’s also sad to see how some are no longer afraid to disrespect God or go against his teachings. I think our generation needs to reflect more deeply on what sin really means and how it affects our relationship with God and others.

3. Yes, I have tried to justify a wrong action before just because others were doing it. I realized afterward that it was a mistake and that I should have stayed true to my values. I learned that I shouldn’t let others influence what I know is right or wrong. Just because something is common doesn’t make it right. What truly matters at the end of the day is whether I did what was right in God’s eyes and remained faithful to my principles.

# data[].attributes.body
I use my conscience, family, and faith to guide me in determining whether something is good or bad by considering its effects and whether it respects the worth and welfare of others. The teachings of the Church, such as those said in the article, motivate me to behave honorably and humanely. However, I believe that the sense of sin has decreased in this generation because a lot of people have come to accept immoral behavior as normal and have lost interest in moral acts. I did immoral stuff before just because everyone else was doing it, but I've since come to the conclusion that just because someone else is doing something, it doesn't mean it's right. That taught me that having true integrity means doing the right thing, even when it's challenging or unpopular.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I decide if something is wrong or right by utilizing my learnings on Christian Morality. Before doing or saying something I know if it is bad or not depending on how it will affect others. Negative effects like hurting someone physically, mentally or putting them in a vulnerable spot is something that tells me whether or not I should do something. If the actions or words make someone smile, laugh, helps them out or remind them they are cared for then that to me is a good thing and something I strive to do. The effect my actions or words have on people and how I too would feel about it is what influences the decisions I make.

2. I believe this generation does have a "strong sense of sin," but I believe that because everyone strives to have one, Christian or not. The real problem that my generation has is choosing not to or resisting the temptation of that sin, as it's easy to know what is right or wrong, the real struggle is action. Especially given the media portrayal of what is wrong or right, the peer pressure and the want to fit in even with the wrong crowd. People often make the wrong decisions, even knowing it's wrong, but growing so accustomed to it, so tempted by sin that it is a habit is the reason why sin is still so prevalent even with awareness of it.

3. Yes, I have done so as many other people have done to as well, influenced by a sheep or herd mentality. As humans we have a habit of wanting to justify our actions even knowing they are wrong, especially with the mindset that "if others do it , it can't be that bad?" We as humans are heavily influenced by our social circles, as they say "show me your friends and I'll show you who you are," the people around you often dictate how you react and respond to things. However, that doesn't mean that what you do is right just because it's "normal" and others have done it before. From that I've learned better, seeing the effect of my actions, I too acknowledge that I have made the same mistakes and made the same excuses, instead of following my own moral compass and gut to decide whether or not I should do something. Now I know that I will strive to never again do the same, as in the end it is my actions and my effect on people and I should always do my best as a child of God and as a person to have a positive influence on other people's lives rather than a negative one.

1.) In deciding whether something is good or bad, I try to consider both internal and external factors. I rely on the values I’ve learned from my family, faith, and education, such as honesty, compassion, and fairness. I also think about the consequences of my actions: Will this harm or help others? Will it bring about peace or create conflict? Aside from personal reflection, I’m influenced by people I look up to, including teachers, family, and friends who try to live with integrity.

2.) When I think about whether this generation still has a strong sense of sin, I feel like it's not a simple yes or no. I’ve noticed that some people don’t take right and wrong as seriously anymore, especially when certain actions are so common that no one really questions them anymore. It’s easy to say, “Everyone does it,” and just move on. But I also know others who are deeply passionate about standing up for justice and truth. For me, I think the sense of sin hasn’t disappeared, it’s just changed in how people talk about it or recognize it.

3.) Yes, I’ve definitely had moments when I tried to convince myself that something wrong was acceptable just because everyone else was doing it. It felt easier to go along than to speak up or stand out. But looking back, I realized that following the crowd doesn’t take away the responsibility I have for my own actions. Even if no one else questions it, I still do. That experience helped me understand how important it is to stay true to my values, even when it’s uncomfortable. It’s not always easy, but I’ve found that doing what’s right gives me a stronger sense of self-respect.

1. I often decide the “wrong” and “right” based on how many will benefit positively. I consider my morals to be fluid on case-to-case and it is shaped by the environment and media I am exposed to. It is also influenced by beliefs I have developed overtime.

2. I believe not, because the newer generations are slowly redefining what is considered “wrong” and a “sense of sin” and thus have more open-minded acceptance or tolerance to things. However, in the eyes of the older generations, we might be considered more “sinful” and less “pure”.

3. I have tried justifying a wrong action to follow a crowd. It is less of swaying to others than not having the energy to correct someone. I’ve learned that it is easier to do bad than good, and that those who willingly choose goodness everyday have great strength in doing so.

1. I use both human reasoning and empathy when deciding whether an action is good or bad. Whenever I have trouble with deciding, I ask my family or friends for their own input on things.

2. I think that our generation has a better sense of sin than the previous. Our sense of empathy towards each other has improved due to the lack of isolation between individuals, making problems and issues in the world seem more real.

3. Yes, I have. It is a normal human emotion as we are mostly scared of being different or too lazy to go against what everyone is doing. I learned that it is better to do what you think is right than regret not standing up for your morals later on.

1. I decide whether something is good or bad by considering my values and the effects of my decisions/actions. I try to think about how my choices affect others and whether they align with what I believe is right. For me, I try to like imagine or see what my decision or action will lead to and see if it turns out good or bad.

2. This generation in my opinion focuses more on what they think is right or what they feel is right instead of what is moral. Maybe its because our society is so open-minded and and very accepting when it come to new ideas and believes sometimes its good but maybe later on it will lead to bad things.

3. The feeling that if everyone is doing it then you should to because you dont to feel left out. At first I didnt really like care about it or think about it but then later on I realize it is not right since it benefited no one since im basically like following bad things because sometimes you get the urge to follow a trend because everyone does it.
