Question

There are two general types of moral theories:

• Morality is relative

• Morality is Universal

  Which of these would best represent your own views? Using your best critical thinking skills give the strengths and weaknesses of each position. Explain your position with logic and reasoning.

Answer 1

The best represent of my view is morality is relative.

MORALITY - Morality is a particular system of value and principles. The difference between right or wrong behaviour. It means a person should not cross a line in which he set the principle of his life in the society in which he lives..

MORALITY IS RELATIVE-. morality is relative means moral judgement or decision are true or false only relative to a point in the sense of culture or a historic period.

My moral relativism is the idea that there is no universal set of moral principle. Every society and culture made their moral choice based on their custom, belief and value,and they, think that those values and belief are right in their culture, because they follow those. So some morality relative to some culture and not in some. Some values are acceptable in some society but not in all.

Strength of Morality Relatism-

1.It allow people to adapt mortality as a culture, knowledge and technology, which change according to time in society.

2. Morality relatism is about how people get along with each other fairly.

Weakness of Morality Relativism-

1. Weakness of morality relativism is that truth, right and wrong, and justice for all relatives, because in some culture some values are right but not all the time. In few countries salvery was right in past time but not now.

2. Two people are disagree about a moral statement (abortion is impermissible), both could be right or wrong.

Logic and reasoning-

​​​​​According to my view point it depends upon people choice, what mortality they want to follow or not. Obviously there should be some restriction, if you are following some rules against society, it should not be harmful for human kind.

A society has a right to make norms,battery for making any rules or not as morality there should be voting by citizens.
