- People from different cultures and religious backgrounds exist everywhere, and
different civilizations have distinct ideas on what is good and bad. There are cultures that can
negatively impact people's life. This implies that culture shouldn't be the ultimate determinant
of values

3. Explain the elements of moral character.

- Moral sensitivity, moral judgment, moral motivation, and moral implementation are the
components of moral development. Moral sensitivity is empathy for other people and

morally above alternative possibilities.
