Background Of The Study
Socrates, an ancient Greek philosopher, believed that a life without inquiry was not worth living. This remark was made in response to the amount of moral decay in ancient Greece during Socrates' heyday. In an effort to impart a moral principle to the kids. He advocates for self-reflection on the consequences of one's actions and the motivations behind them. The significance of an act's morality is essential to philosophical ethics. It addresses what was purchased but not performed (Alutu, & Aluede, 2021).
In our numerous institutions, such as secondary schools, students seldom ponder on the repercussions of their actions. It is against this backdrop that philosophical ethics attempts to investigate this issue, as it contains the fundamental principles required to instill in the minds of the youth. The moral characteristics that any meaningful civilization need. It is the only form of punishment that encourages students to consider the repercussions and implications of their actions. It can eliminate abduction, armed robbery, and prostitution, to name a few, if philosophical would shame everyone (Abdu-Raheem 2021).
An absolute or relative ethical value is a personal or cultural value. A value system is a set of values and metrics that are consistent. A fundamental value is the basis for all other values and measurements of integrity. Those values that are not biologically set and are typically seen as aims, such as the desire to avoid physical pain, seek pleasure, etc., are subjective, vary among persons and cultures, and are in many ways intertwined with religious beliefs (Abudu, & Fuseini, 2021). Values are broad preferences for proper courses of action or results, reflecting a person's sense of right and wrong or what "ought" to be "equal right for all." Values tend to affect attitudes and conduct (Abudu, & Fuseini, 2021).
Scholars who have written about the meaning of social studies, such as (Mansard, 1996), have emphasized that social studies is concerned with more than just cognitive development; it is also concerned with shaping behavior in the direction of what society considers desirable for its survival and progress. Social studies is the study of human interaction with society. Social studies is meant to determine how man impacts his surroundings and how his environment influences him (Alutu, & Aluede, 2021). The objectives of social studies at the primary level in Nigeria, as stated in the 1984 national curriculum for primary social studies, are to assist the Nigerian child in recognizing the following:
an acquire the capacity to adjust to a fluctuating environment
b promote national consciousness and cohesion
c because a skilled and eager contributor to national growth is a decent citizen
d Include the proper attitudes, values, and abilities along with the aforementioned knowledge on the goals and objectives of primary school social studies. the student is already prepared with what it takes to be a loyal and patriotic citizen via his efforts (Abdu-Raheem 2021).
Moreover, these issues can control the lives of adolescents by placing them in jail, restricting their schooling and vocational training possibilities, causing unplanned pregnancies, and jeopardizing their future. Furthermore, these difficulties are economically expensive to a society. Numerous international studies reveal a high correlation between delinquency, such as smoking, drug and alcohol abuse, and sexually transmitted diseases (Alutu, & Aluede, 2021). All of these issues are also linked to academic failure and dropping out of school. Teenagers with many of these issues are more likely to face many of the severe and expensive repercussions of vices, aggression, substance addiction, and hazardous sexual behaviors.
