Morality & Custom

 Morality from Latin “moralis’’ meaning customs or manners.

 A more reasoned position returns to the question of whether the rules of morality have an
independent justification or are simply customs or habits that we find hard to break.
 It is a thought that must have occurred to many people.

Explanation

MORALS refers to generally accepted customs of conduct and right living in a society, and to the
individual's practice

For example, in the given module, the case of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s masterful novel Crime and
Punishment. A Russian student po named Raskolnikov, convinces himself that moral action is, for a
certain sort of person, essentially a form of cowardice and that the truly strong person will, in the
appropriate circumstances. he also argues na it can be right to ignore conventional morality to pursuit a
higher goal.

He believes that he should ignore ordinary morality like perfectly justified in robbing and killing a
wealthy old woman. he seems to think that conventional morality is a type of conspiracy like secret
agreement to do something harmful or unlawful

of those who are not strong or willful enough to survive through their own efforts. But I think the truly
strong person has the right, or even the duty, to ignore the rules if the opportunity is presented I think
this form of morality gives the strong person special rights.
