THE UNIVERSALS Dr. Cleofe M. Bacungan

Different cultures vary in their ethical manifestation. There are prohibitions about food, especially meat and styles of clothing. The status of women differs. Free enterprise and socialism have different economic values. There are values of hiya and pakikisama, expressing the Filipinos' manner of communication and behavior. These are actual modes to conduct, subjective and situational, their propriety dependent on the accepted practices and way of behavior of a given people at a given time. There is apparent convergence on some values beneath such diversity, which can truly be called universals. No culture tolerates indiscriminate lying, stealing, or violence

within the group. *Incest is *taboo by all cultures. Health, safety, productivity, efficiency, integrity, freedom, justice, beauty, love, family, solidarity, and respect for man's dignity are always valid for all humankind at all times. Here are statements from various philosophical sources, which, while stated differently, share common principle-respect other people and treat them fairly. Buddhism: "Hurt not others with that which pains you." Christianity: "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you." Confucianism: "Is there any maxim which ought to be acted upon through one's whole life? Surely the maxim of loving-kindness is such: do not do unto others what you would not they should do unto you." Judaism: "What is hurtful to yourself, do not do to your fellow beings." Islam: "Love for the people what you love for yourself, and you will be a believer." Taoism: "Regard your neighbor's loss as your lost."

As someone interested in politics, Confucius, established five constant virtues that he believed must be used in governance. Benevolence: "…always think first of what is good for the people." Righteousness: "…do not do to your subject what you would not want them to do if you were on their on their place." Propriety: "…always behave with courtesy and respect towards your subject." Wisdom: "be guided by the knowledge and understanding." Sincerity: "be sincere and thoughtful in all you do." What would people disagree with the statements above? The timeliness of ethical universals in different environments suggests that virtues such as union and righteousness are deeply embedded in man's nature and are necessary to maintain a happy life.
