ASPECTS OF

MORALITY
 In discussing the application of morality,
four aspects may be considered: religious
morality, morality and nature, individual
morality, and social morality
Religious morality
-is concerned with human beings in relationships
to supernatural being.
-a process where children and young people
engage in a search for meaning, value and purpose
in life.
What is the role of religion
in morality?
 It shapes the way people think about and
respond to the world, fosters habits such as
church attendance and prayer, and provides a
web of social connections. 
 In the history of mankind, religion has played a
vital role in shaping morally-conscious societies
Morality and nature or natural
morality
 -is concerned with human beings in
relationship to nature.
 -Natural morality refers to morality that is
based on human nature, rather than acquired
from societal norms or religious teachings.
 Humans have a moral sense because their biological
makeup determines the presence of three
necessary conditions for ethical behavior: (i) the
ability to anticipate the consequences of one's own
actions; (ii) the ability to make value judgments;
and (iii) the ability to choose between alternative
courses of action.
Individual morality
 concerned with human being in relation to themselves.
 -Is the moral standards that apply to individuals.
Primarily, this means standards that determining the
permissibility, impermissibility, and blameworthiness
individual actions, but it can also include conclusions
about values – about the best way to live – that are
also commonly called moral.
 Examples-Don't steal. Tell the truth. Treat
others as you want to be treated.
Social morality
 -noted as the most important aspect of morality is concerned
with human being in relation to to other human being.
 -Social morality is based on the idea that there is no ultimate
standard of good or evil, so every judgment about right and
wrong is a product of society. Therefore, any opinion on morality
or ethics is subject to the cultural perspective of each person.
Ultimately, this means that no moral or ethical system can be
considered the “best,” or “worst,” and no particular moral or
ethical position can actually be considered “right” or “wrong.”

"Not everything legal is moral."
