Moral

relativism and weather I agree or disagree with that philosophy. Cultural revisits state that “no particular moral or ethical position can actually be considered “right” or “wrong.” Ethical relativism states that …”whether an action is right or wrong depends on the moral norms of the society in which it is practiced”. I agree with ethical and cultural relativism because there is no right or wrong moral code because people and societies have different beliefs. But then again people could use…

Subjectivism. Emotivism is an enhanced description of Ethical Subjectivism, which is the idea that our moral opinions are based on our feelings (Citation).

Natural law hypothesis is a legitimate hypothesis that perceives law and profound quality as profoundly associated, if not one and the same. Morality identifies with what is good and bad and what is right and wrong. Natural law theorists believe that the human laws are defined by morality and not by an authority figure, like a government or a king. In this way, we humans are guided by our human nature to make sense of what the laws are, and to act in congruity with those laws. The term of…

Antinomianism defines the concept that there are no binding moral laws. It assumes that everything is relative. For instance, the ethical system assumes lying is can be neither right nor wrong. Some of the basic beliefs of antinomianism includes that there are no God given moral regulation and laws. They also argue that there is no God or he has not set any standards on moral laws on the people. Another belief is that there are no timeless moral regulations and regulations (Singer, 2013).

between two contrasting options, which choice is difficult to make due to a conflict within the individual’s cognitive processes on what to do (Cambridge Dictionary, 2016). Hence, ethical dilemmas will always arise when the conflict at hand is based on moral principles that govern an individual’s behaviour i.e. choosing what would the right thing (doing good) or the wrong thing (causing harm) to do is in the present situation (Paul & Elder, 2006).
