Hume’s moral point of view because
Hume did not include the role of God in

a person is not only by feelings and
emotion nor reasoning, He believe that
decision making of a person is vary to
different people and their environment,

our culture, behavior and
what is the condition in your
environment

emotion is contagious

ability to produce a reasonable
and defensible decision in the
dilemma or situation you are
facing.

every situation but there is only one valid
reason
• It is important that one’s know how to
choose morally good in decision making. In
discerning over the facts, it is important that
