Morals ... are the Practiced of a Belief of what be considered the Right ... But Morality is a Relative Question, in its Secular Sense. Morality ... in State of the Practiced of Truth, is, the Sign, of Proper Belief.
Morality is subjective to each person's response to convictions. It is chosen by each being as they decide what is acceptable in their sight. It is not based purely on emotion however, certain decisions have the intent to cause destruction on others survival.
We can see the effect of a situation and tag it immoral or be taught something is moral without having to 'feel' anything about it.
For me, morality is something that is placed upon us by what society and religion we live with. I find that being ethical has made my life joyful. For me, ethics means doing as you will as long as it harms no one and the chance for harm is small.
Looking ahead is ethical in that if we engage in something that could cause harm, we are being unethical. This can include a multitude of things. Companies looking at today's profits instead of 5 years down the road can lead to higher profits for today, but major layoffs in the future and eventual closer of the company itself.
Cheating on one's spouse may give immediate satisfaction, but the potential for harm is huge. For every action there is an outcome. Being ethical means considering consequences.
Being moral means letting an outside source tell you what is right or wrong, whether you know better or not.
If one of your life's ambitions is to get from one end of it to the other without hurting anyone (a pretty tall order I know) then you can rightfully consider yourself to be a moral person.
Morals vary from place to place. They also vary with time for each location. Yes they are created by man and not by God.
For if there was one God, they why would he change morals with time and place.
I forgot to mention, your gang is on an island where there's just the gang members, and now only two others left. Will killing the remaining two be immoral? The original question comes down to whether you believe there is an accountability after the act.
Nietzsche wrestled his entire life with this question, concluding that morality is indeed a social construct.So if you don't believe in the "hereafter", then there nothing upon which to base a moral judgment. In short, absent hearing the tree fall, there cannot be a sound.
Human created God. Not everyone in the world believes in this non proven diety. You should, by now, realize that.
There is much evidence of "God's followers" being what is generally considered immoral in every sense. The interpretation of where your so called God creates his morals from is skewed.
Morals are only as good as the people who enforce them. Morals are subjective and subject to the societies they are introduced into. In some cultures its moral to beat your wife; once upon a time not too long ago it was okay to beat you wife right here in America. Oh these people don't like to talk about those things but it's true.It used to be that beating your kids was moral now it's considered child abuse.
It used to be that owning other people for fun and profit was moral. Today in most circles it's considered reprehensible. There are many things that were considered moral that are now considered archaic.
Hence the term "subjective.
Jesus said that we should 'love our neighbour as ourself' and this is surely the core of human morality, and the essence of the entire Ten Commandments. And there is a difference between what a society deems 'acceptable' at various points in time, and what is actually 'moral' in the eyes of God.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
