Moral psychology

Moral relativism is a very vague and unclear moral theory, this leaves many questioning the significance of the theory. The topic of moral relativism is very confusing and the thought process behind the theory is muddled. It is wrong to assert that there is no standard of morality, that morality is made truth through an individual’s view on right and wrong. This means no person’s morality is better than another. So judgment cannot be given in any situation and no change would occur due to the…

1) I agree that morality should be authoritative over our preferences. If everyone did what their heart desired there would be a lot of robberies, unfaithful marriages, and tragic deaths. Relativism has flexible standards that have the potential to change according to the individual's feelings and desires. While Biblical Absolutism has a set of standards that are given to us in the Bible and through the 10 Commandments. I also agree with the second characteristic that points out that morality…

it. In other words “truth may be true for one but not for another since everyone has different interpretations based on different human conditions” (Christian Part one 6). This creates problems because if everything is relative, then so are morals. The morals of relativism are severely warped. Anything goes because anyone who follows relativism can justify their actions by saying they believe it was right. If truth is relative and not absolute in any area then how can the bible be true…

we can accept differences in moral, cultural norms, practices, and beliefs, there is still a stronghold in my mind that morality can hold some of these beliefs and practices morally wrong. From my research and reading ethical relativism is a theory that is relative to the norms of one’s culture and fluctuates right from wrong on an individual and group level. This is the deciding factor between cultures actions and whether it is held right or wrong depending on the moral norms of the society.…

“The best index of a person’s character is how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and how he treats people who can’t fight back.” I consider this quote by Abigail VanBuren to be very true. What it means is that we can determine someone’s character based on how they treat others. People who will only do good for someone who would return the favor have bad character. Someone like this would take advantage of others to get to where they want to go in life, only having shallow relationships…

properly remembered, and it violates the son who is denied his legacy.” Therefore, the pantomime performance starts in the context of Gertrude’s and not Claudius’s betrayal. This insistence on the behavior of the player-queen creates “an image of the moral censure passed on Gertrude by both Hamlet and the Ghost.” Correspondingly, during The Mousetrap play in the scene where the role playing the queen promises her husband that she will never remarry someone else and to love him forever, Hamlet…

its innate selfishness. In contrast to modern theorists like Locke, who contend that the pursuit of self-interest will serve the common good, Swift underscores the potential for unleashing the beastliness in human nature, loosening the traditional moral constraints on avarice and ambition. As a commentary on the modern project, Swift introduces the crude and uncontrollably desirous "Yahoos," who, given the opportunity to pursue their self-interests, reveal a complete disregard for others. He…

one’s appearance can have about an individual’s moral standpoint of being a good or bad person as ultimately, there is no definite answer as they coexist in each person regardless of appearance. Throughout the three pieces, I depicted one generic human figure that did not feature any human characteristics. This enabled the triptych to appeal to a diverse group of viewers. Each piece contains an element or symbolism to help identify it as one of the moral standpoints of “good” or “bad”. The…

is about her watching the evolution of her only child. Pavel is the driving force in this inspiring narrative, he is the sun and the entire story revolves around him including his Mother, Pelageya Nilovna Vlasova. In Psychology, there is a concept known as Kohlberg’s theory of moral development, which describes three stages of morality. The first stage is called preconventional morality (before nine years old) where a person’s morality is based on their self-interests, and…

The galing pook case I have chosen is the SARAGANI case wherein it took take a look at the programs in Sarangani Province.
