Are our morals really just subconsious bulls**t, like Sigmund Freud and rockstars say?
Answer:
No.
Sigmund Freud says, your subconscience is the origin of your behaviour pattern.
Rock stars are not necessarily the moral compass of the society, neither have they been quoted and published in any philosophy or social science books.
Having moral values define your the strength of your character and your dependability, - not to mention respectibility. You can go wild and crazy with the one you love and still have high moral values, it is not an either or situation, you don't have to be a boring prude to have moral values.
In your situation, the vocabulary you chose to phrase the question indicates that you are reaching straws in a desperate attempt to justify your inability to establish and sustain any moral values. Sorry if I'm being blunt, however if you look at any healthy long-lasting families, you will see a couple that have some form of moral values, even the hippie ones. If you look at broken homes, kids out of wedlock, mix and match families, shattered youth, abondonment, you will witness clues of some certain disregard for moral values.
You may think it is freedomto rid yourself of moral values, however you are actually imprisoning yourself withing the bars of that uncaring, neglect, aloof, unaccountable world where you will end up creating your own prison and since there will be no trust backed by moral values and integrity, you will rarely find happiness, even in passing. Without moral values, you will not be able to find trust, without trust there is no love, without love there is no happiness.
Hope this helps, wish you the best.
No, they are what keep us civilized. If everyone acted on every immoral thought they had, we may as well burn down our houses and live in the jungle.
Different people have different ideas of what morals are. I would say the ones who think they are the most moral are not.
I do think that living by a certain code of conduct can help a person, by keeping them from doing behavior that can hurt themselves and others.
To answer your question simply, no.
The individual subconscious is a theory that Freud came up with. The theory states that most of the feelings in our mind belong to the subconscious. The subconscious, according to Freud, is thoughts that have been so repressed by the individual that the individual is not aware of their own subconscious. Freud's two prevailing themes were that of penis envy (belief that females are jealous of male penises and the power that comes with them) and the Oedipus complex (belief that male child wants to have sex with mother). It should be noted that Freud's theories are not considered to be correct by most modern psychologists.
Morals (or ethics), on the other hand, deals with the rightness and wrongness of actions. It is the values and guidelines by which we live our lives, as well as the justification for those values and guidelines. Within morals/ethics, there are differing views about what is right and wrong. For instance, some people (ethical subjectivists) believe that morality is different for different people; universalists believe that there are certain morals (such as not murdering) that apply to everyone; emotivists deny the existence of morals.
So to sum it up, the subconscious deals with individual repressed feelings and morals deals with the rightness and wrongness of actions.
Our morality defines our character or lack thereof. Someone without morals is a sociopath. It is not subconcsious BS, because most of us know and could tell you what we believe is right or wrong. We may not always be able to tell you why we feel the way we do, and that's probably where Freud comes in. Our morals may be formed on a subconscious level at times, such as by watching how our parents behaved, etc.
