RE 4 – 1st Activity

For some of us, the pace of global change is overwhelming. In the process, it has raised lots of
challenges that questions the already accepted moral principles. Some practices and norms that were once
widely accepted have been abandoned in the name of "progress," frequently leading to the adoption of
new practices that have come to serve as the "new norms." Some Christians find the pressure to be
unbearable, which has made it simpler for them to change sides when moral norms are adopted or to
reinterpret their faith to satisfy the requirements of a post-modern society. In today's society, morality is
often judged more on one's sense of taste and tolerance than on one's sense of honesty and reliability.

No question because we have been raised differently, beliefs and conventional practices are
different. Older people tend to comply more with what has already been practiced. Therefore, they tend to
tolerate moral problems more significantly than younger generations. They constantly suggest that what
is practiced, must continue to be practiced. While on the other hand, younger generations are now
liberated. By the word liberated, it means they do not comply with unjust beliefs and practices. As a
result, they are more equipped to stand out for what is right and promote separating from unjust
behaviors.

Truly, those said situations in the article given is happening now in this generation. It is sad that
morally bad things are now being normalized. Correcting them means you are “KJ” or kill joy. In those
situations given, are we still considered moral persons? I think not. Many of those or shall I say all those
situations opposes the Ten Commandments of God. Morality cannot be influenced by the random whims
of culture or taste; it is an objective concept. All moral truth comes ultimately from God. We all have
freedom, but we should only exercise it in ways that are consistent with God's morally correct and just
standards.
