Points to ponder:
1. Why is man the sole moral agent?
2. Why is freedom the foundation of man’s moral acts?
WHAT IS CULTURE?
According to E.B. Tylor (1871), culture or civilization, taken
in its wide ethnographic sense, is that complex whole which
includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and
any other capabilities and habits acquired my man as a
member of society.
`The sum total of knowledge, attitudes and habitual
behaviour patterns shared and transmitted by the
members of a particular society' - Ralph Linton (1940).
