Morality

Why is it wrong for us? Right and wrong have many significations. Right and Wrong pertain to one value: the MORALITY. Indeed, we can understand these words from different ways. For example, someone who steals bread (or other food) in order to survive, commit an act which is wrong: Steal. But, if we take into account his case, it would be different. In this way, he hasn’t other choice so we can’t judge him and say that it is wrong. He can think that it is wrong to do this and that

A. W. REED. With a Commentary Critical, Historical, and Explanatory by F. B. KAVE.Oxford : at the Clarendon Press. 1924. Mandeville was a Dutchman, born in Rotterdam, and there educated in the Erasmian School. He had a sound training in philosophy and medicine at Ley den, travelled, came to England early in the reign of the Dutch William III., " found the country and the manners agreeable to his humour," and remained. " Writers are always teaching men what they should be and hardly ever

humans and desires feelings have to be in the center of the human being's reflection. The principle of utility that “actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness” (p.66 « morality and moral controversies ») was the centerpiece of his ethical philosophy. By happiness is intended pleasure and the absence of pain; by unhappiness, pain and the privation of pleasure.” Utilitarianism is also called the Happiness Theory. According

right thing to do for each given situation, ethics helps us making better decisions. What about morality and its link with ethics? Morality, the author said, refers to social rules, values and norms that define the right and the wrong for an individual or a community. Then, it seems obvious that ‘ethics’ must be defined more precisely. Indeed, when it comes to the difference between ethics and morality, the text underlined the use of reason that is supposed de determine how to act in a specific situation

principle of equality). Ethics comes from the Greek Ethicos, moral and Ethos, moeurs.Ethique it is the study of morality. One might ask if a democratic society in which power is held by the people, is necessarily ethical. We try to answer this question through the two great conceptions of morality, objectivist vision of one hand and the vision of relativistic in other hand. MORALITY objectivist consider the moral laws, like the freedom ,equality ,justice, does not depend on the man but the

witness, the consciousness of a politician. But, the morality and the persons are not objects which we buy or sells. Say that the money allows to buy everything, it is to reduce the man to be only a means and not an end in itself " ( Kant ). As for me, I think that the money allows us first of all to acquire tangible assets, a car, a house, of which to eat and to dress when we have it a lot he creates us the other needs, when we have a morality and a rule of life one can think of sharing him with

raised in the upper classes, during the early 20th century. The moral aspect is embodied by the characters and norms are reversed as moral lessons are given by children to adults. The story is laden with religious connotations which are part of the morality of the story and demonstrate how the narrator tends to shape the reader’s perspections, particularly by using Christian Science and New Thought theories. First of all, one can notice that adult figures are nearly absent in this book. The main

can be given by studying the six key categories, source, selection, definition of good, scope, objective or subjective, and the principal of right action. The basic idea of the Cultural Relativism, is that morality is determined by ones culture, thus each culture produces its own morality. The individual, can choose his moral principals by simply fallowing the majority's view. Because moral principals are determined by the majority, that also explains why the definition of good is what is socially

through every facet of our living. SUJET 2/ One way of trying to conceptualize morality is by contrasting it with interest: individuals have and pursue their own interests, and morality deals, for the most part, with limitations on the pursuit of interest. (The category of interest can, for present purposes, be expanded to include self-fulfillment.)
