C.S. Lewis’s, Mere Christianity, combined ethics and religion in an attempt to find the meaning of the universe. By focusing on the aspect of right and wrong, I was able to combine a bulk of this module’s assignments into one paper, allowing me a more comprehensive picture.
Compare the thinking of the development of ethical thought through the ages:
The teams built their ACU PEPs on guidelines which had already been established to build a comprehensive standard of our own for mediators. The study and development of ethics over the ages followed the same process, building upon or reacting to already established philosophies and thoughts. While situations and events impacted philosophies and aided in the transformation, they also affected the ways which mediation guidelines have been molded. Events shaped the guidelines of both philosophy and mediation. In the case of the ACU PEPs, the groups had witnessed mediations of all types and their guidelines reflect those situations and experiences, like that of philosophical thoughts.

Lewis surmises it is because it is less of a standard of what they do or how they do behave and more of a statement of what they ought to do or how they ought to behave. I agree, if individuals felt it was a matter of fact statement rather than a suggestion, then more individuals would follow the “law.” Even Christians do not follow the Bible when they feel it is more of a suggestion than a necessity.

We are at odds over whether to obey the powerful (God) or disobey and then redeem ourselves. I believe this “comfort” Christians have to have their sins forgiven helps fuel the notion that they moral law is more of a suggestion than a necessity. (Lewis, Ch
