In my own perspective I consider the above stated
as a moral standard. As it shows how people treat
each other with fairness and it shows kindness in
humanity. Also, these moral standards show a
person must be in order to have peace in the
society. Imagine all people have this kind of traits
and mindset, I guess the world will be fair and at
peace.

to moral or ethical considerations.
Either these standards are not
necessarily linked to morality or by
nature lack ethical sense. Basic
examples of non- moral standards
include rules of etiquette, fashion
standards, rules in games, and
various house rules.
 Moral Standards and their Characteristic

Moral standards are norms that individuals or groups have about the kinds of actions believed to
be morally right or wrong, as well as the values placed on what we believed to be morally good
or morally bad. Basically, moral standards promote what is “the good” like the welfare and well-
being of humans as well as animals and the environment. Thus, it prescribes what humans
should do in terms of rights and obligations.
According to some scholars, moral standards are the sum of combined norms and values. In
other words, norms plus values equal moral standards. On the one hand, norms are understood
as general rules about our actions or behaviors. For example, we may say “We are always
under the obligation to fulfill our promises” or “It is always believed that killing innocent people is
absolutely wrong”. On the other hand, values are understood as enduring beliefs or statements
about what is good and desirable or not. For example, we may say “Helping the poor is good” or
“Cheating during exams is bad”.
According to many scholars, moral standards have the following characteristics, namely: 1)
moral standards deal with matters we think can seriously injure or benefit humans, animals, and
the environment, such as child abuse, rape, and murder; 2) moral standards are not established
or changed by the decisions of authoritative individuals or bodies. Indeed, moral standards rest
on the adequacy of the reasons that are taken to support and justify them. For sure, we don’t
need a law to back up our moral conviction that killing innocent people is absolutely wrong; 3)
moral standards are overriding, that is, they take precedence over other standards and
considerations, especially of self-interest; 4) moral standards are based on impartial
considerations. Hence, moral standards are fair and just; and 5) moral standards are associated
with special emotions (such as guilt and shame) and vocabulary (such as right, wrong, good,
and bad).

 Non-Moral Standards and their Characteristic

Non-moral standards refer to standards by which we judge what is good or bad and right or
wrong in a non-moral way. Examples of non-moral standards are standards of etiquette by
which we judge manners as good or bad, standards we call the law by which we judge
something as legal or illegal, and standards of aesthetics by which we judge art as good or
rubbish. Hence, we should not confuse morality with etiquette, law, aesthetics or even with
religion.
As we can see, non-moral standards are matters of taste or preference. Hence, a scrupulous
observance of these types of standards does not make one a moral person. Violation of said
standards also does not pose any threat to human well-being.
Finally, as a way of distinguishing moral standards from non-moral ones, if a moral standard
says “Do not harm innocent people” or “Don’t steal”, a non-moral standard says “Don’t text while
driving” or “Don’t talk while the mouth is full”
