Morality and Moral Values
Morality Morality by definition is the conformity to the rules of right conduct; moral or virtuous conduct. It differs in every society, what I consider to be a moral conduct; others may think is amoral. Moral rules can be a set of socially approved habits. Every society has a sense of morality and their set of rules to be followed and considered moral. People’s morals are different because cultures are all something that have evolved throughout time; changing with each generation. As human beings we are always looking to achieve perfection for something even better than what we have. It is a human to always want more than what we have and in order to achieve our goals we have to work hard. We go through life judging the actions of others and how they achieve their goals.
The values every society uses to get what they have. We are always on the spot and seen by everyone; as well as how we see others from different cultures and even our own. We judge their values over our own set of moral values to act; and then pass judgment on whether or not it is right how they are acting or no. Morality is all about right and wrong, from each person’s perspective. We are born and raised with a set of values that go along with our culture beliefs. Our parents or people that raise us teach those values and then we pass them out to our following generations. Morality is a chain that we pass over and over. We as human beings can distinguish if something is an act
of kindness or an act of cruelty; but cannot distinguish whether is right or wrong because of the culture boundary. A society’s views and their values are exclusively unique and part of their culture; it is like a code in which only they can distinguish what is morally right or wrong. The moral views of two or more societies can be totally contradictory to each other and still be an acceptable action within their own respective society. For example: the controversial topic of gay marriage. Some people might see
