Quote by: saltinespike  There are no such thing as "morals in general", because morals are confined to each individual. There may be common morals that people share, but not everyone has the same morals.
Anyways, seeing as this is the case, what is the best way to use morals for something (laws, for example) effectively. Majority of the population's decision? Wrong, according to some. Some say that morals do not depend upon the majority. If the majority of the population agreed that murder was right, would it be right.
I believe the answer to that question is, yes, though that is a hyperbole and would never happen, which is why I'm not concerned.
How do we decide somewhat-general morals? |
Morals is what is generally accepted by the community within which it applies. So, yes, strange as it may seem, if everybody accepts murder is right, then it is right.
