Host: Question no. 1 for 5 pesos.
“For a hedonist (a person whose life is devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification) the word GOOD refers to bodily pleasure. For a humanist it refers to the development of all your human potentials. For a logical positivist the word GOOD expresses approval. Alternatively, if you are a Kantian, you will identify GOOD as doing one’s duty.
The question is… “What term in philosophy describes this particular phenomena on which a term has acquired too many uses in numerous language games?”
a. Contingency b. Fallacy c. Symbolic Logic d. Ambiguity

Hao: What is good?(Kuhitun niya tagsa-tagsa sila Fatima,Crislyn ug Isabel kay nagtalikod man sila.
Fatima: Any action that promotes bodily pleasure is good.
Crislyn: Any action that hastens the development of your intellectual potential is good.

a. Fallacy of Composition b. Fallacy of Equivocation
c. Fallacy of Accident d. Fallacy of Relevance

_____________________________________________________________
Host: Question number 5 for the amount of _____________________
The question goes like this.
In order to avoid linguistic confusion, you have to define your terms. Of course, the purpose of a definition is to provide information about the correct use of term. There are generally two methods of doing this; either you give a _____ or a ___________ definition.
a. rock and roll
b. all of the below.
c. reportive
d. stipulative
FLASHBACK
Hao: Oh! it’s the championship day for the debate thingy.
Isabel: I go for stipulative definition because it is a type of definition in which a new or currently-existing term is given a specific meaning for the purposes of argument or discussion in a given context.
Crislyn: Shut Up! Your wrong..I go for reportive definition of a word on which it tells us what others mean when they use a word and what others will understand us to mean when we use the same word.
Fatima: Indeed the debate has already gone very far out of the topic. Remember that our topic is about the morality of abortion and not on its simple meaning. I declare both of you as losers.
(back to reality)
Host: So, do you have an answer?
Hao: Can I ask the help of the audience?
Host: Sure! Why not?! I’ve said this line three times already. So as what you can see on our Sony Plasma TV. Fifty Percent of the audience votes are in letter C while Fifty Percent is on letter D. so what’s your final answer?
Hao: I go for letter A. Rock N Roll.
Host: Sure with that? Okay…I wouldn’t care if you’re sure..the correct answer is…..letter B..sorry you lose…by loser.
