What are morals? Can morals be different for different individuals? Kindly explain.?
Answer:
Morals are a set of beliefs or guild lines that people follow based on their culture or society. Morals are almost always different for individuals because morals are based on an individual's interpretation of what's good.
Example, anti abortion people think abortion is immoral while pro abortion think it's immoral to force the woman to have a baby who will grow up in a negative environment.
Most cultures have a different set morals base on religion or philosophy.
Morals are not commandments and dogmas. BE good Do good. Nothing more.What is sin yesterday is fun today. As long as you are not harming any one, you are well within your moarl boundaries. This is the ultimate test.
Many people approach the study of values and ethics with a lot of doubt. "I always try to do the best; I do nothing wrong." "What's wrong with my morals?" "I attend church regularly," or "I've never been arrested, so why do I need to study philosophy and ethics?" are questions students often ask. These are good questions or observations, and asking someone to systematically study ethics is not implying he or she is immoral. Our values, both moral and nonmoral, were acquired along with our basic language and socialized behaviors when we were young children and come from some very strong traditions that are part of our societies and our cultures. Law, religion, our family, and our peer groups all tell us what we ought to do, but following these more traditional "oughts" does not necessarily constitute a moral life.
A great number of people, however, do live long and useful lives without ever consciously defining or systematically considering the values or moral rules that guide their social, personal, and work lives. During most of our lives, we simply decided what was right and did it. Our moral decisions were often little more than the proverbial coin toss or approached mostly from self-interest and egoism. Decision and action, however, are the core of moral decision making and most of us already have some practice at it. Being moral is like any art: The more practice and the deeper understanding we have, the better we become. The more in-depth, sustained reflection we require of ourselves, the better artist we become. The study of ethics would seem to be a rather worthless undertaking if decisions about right and wrong did not influence our behavior.
Many people believe that without a religious framework, the only possible conclusion is that all morality is nothing more than a human construct without any objective existence. In other words, what morality a person or a culture accepts is like picking a favorite flavor of ice cream. Some individuals prefer strawberry ice cream, other individuals prefer chocolate, and no person’s preference is "more correct" than another’s. In a similar manner, they argue, different individuals and different societies have various favorite moral belief systems, and just as with ice cream, no particular set of moral beliefs is "more correct" than any other.
We could talk about the facial expressions or the verbal sounds which the prisoner will make. However, this is not really describing what suffering feels like, since an actor can produce exactly the same symptoms without feeling any suffering, and since it is possible to feel suffering while not displaying any of these characteristics. We can talk about phenomena such as an increased heart beat or respiration. However, this does not tell us what suffering feels like either, since it is also possible to have these symptoms without suffering and to suffer without showing these symptoms. We could attempt to describe suffering as the firing of a particular group sensory neurons in a particular way. However, this too will not give us the answer we seek. We could remove those neurons and place them in a test tube. Having those sensory neurons fire in exactly the same way in the laboratory would not involve any suffering. Simply knowing that these sensory neurons are firing, or knowing any of these mentioned measurable physical characteristics, would not really tell us what suffering "feels like".
morals are like feelings, will, and character. morals are kind of like your own rules the things that can make you, you sometimes you controll your morals. they are your own settings that you have grown accustom to. if you didnt set your own morals then you would have no will power. when your friends want to go drink you have your morals(the thing in your head that you know that this is wrong not your concience) if you go against your morals its like going against yourself.
hope that helps.
