Morality: What is moral to you, may not be moral to me!!

It is said debatable when it comes to morality issue. There is always a tricky question if how do you define moral? We often misunderstood ourselves with the real basis of morality. Morality cannot be measured, because what is moral to you, may not be moral to me. We have sets of norms to follow, some of us rely on our super ego, wherein we value what our conscience may say. Social acceptance for that matter. But the real thing that gives morality different meaning, is in the impact on it to us. Whether it is good or bad...And its not proper to relates bad circumtances to immorality..
Gracias!

morals are not morals for itselves

You know morals are morals, for some causes not for itselves,
for example some may say that having sixtual reltions with others while having a husbans is an immoral action, they say this because they see that if one do,this this will suffer thier familly life and affect the familly which is the bas of the society, and also the life of thier chilrens if they had,directly or indirectly, so every has brian and can adjust what is harmful and what usefull, so the original think is that whether an action has any bad affect on the society and the humanity,it is immoral and should be avoided, may be rarely, there are some defrences in the definations of some sins and immoralities, but the minds and hearts of the most af the people are the same.
sincerly

In Futurism we are openly forbidden to moralize or to have an opinion about others.
We stress importance of fulfilling duties above all.
It is fulfillemnt of duties which is pushing society forward duties like 8 hour working daily..
There is always be something people wont like.
And that will create rifts and disunity in society and make is less competent and so on.
SO: Never judge other peoples actions because you have many things to do, which r a priority.
Ave Futuria

Morality cannot be judged on its own but in a context of an ideology, its political, social, cultural and economic, systems, structures and practices.
Since people believe and live by different ideologies, therefore the differences in their ideas of morality.
Birth, growth and death etc etc are natural phenomena and so long as people live from birth till death they have to learn about living and the problems of life and how best to sort them out.
Thus society cannot be treated as a cut and dry issue ie something that is permanently fixed or static for all times and everyone everywhere. The reason is that world itself is dynamic hence we need to re-evaluate each and every aspect of our societies all the time and everywhere for everyone. The goal is to eliminate pain and suffering as much as is practically possible for us and to help make life as palatable for everyone as possible. This is why hard and fast rules are impossible due to being against the very nature of this world the way it exists and those who take the attitude that their rules are permanent and forever only cause problems for themselves and the others.
Take the issue of human beings, are we all exactly the same in every respect? The answer is, no, we are not. Why not? Because our genes are different and our environments and circumstances are different hence we have different shapes, sizes etc etc etc. Perhaps one person needs more food than the other. Perhaps one person has higher threshhold for something or another than the other. Hence our needs are also different as regard food, water, sex etc etc. Now if it is an absolute fact that we are biologically and psychologically different from each other, then we all cannot live by exactly the same legal or moral standard. All we can do is see the common denominator and form moral codes or legal codes accordingly and allow for the differences where nature demands so and that does not mean harm to people and other living things eg allow gay people to live in peace instead of making their lives hell by telling them you cannot do this or that because according to our morals standards this that is wrong or evil etc etc etc. The issue is same as regards women or children or even animals.
Everything discussed on these forums actually needs explanatory articles that fully detail the issues and then those articles need to be discussed in the forums so that we could learn more about things we do not really understand but are too eager to make our opinions known about them. That is like turkeys voting for chrismas.

It is what we project in life that gives meaning to what we do or waht we are in society.
Long and complicated life we have, but its our choice what we wanted to do then..

In fact:
Most of problems we enocunter comes from ppl near or close to you self. Which is terible.
Crucial is the support and similar by all that u know and rely on. If they tend to stop your activities, then thats bad news.

personally i feel dat one major factor that helps us decide on wats morally right or wrong is the kind of environment we grew up in.because many things taken for granted in the western world isn't seen as decent in other parts; for example dressing.in my part of the world if u dress the way u see ur favourite movie and music stars dress, pple would look at you with disgust and even call u names.
i'm sure u all heard of what happened when the miss world pageant was to be hosted in nigeria. so i think to a large extent our environment determines our views on morality

In my country the Philippines is considered the only christian nation in Asia. We are colonized by the spaniards for almost four hundred years, we are still inheriting one of thier cultures that gives us the the impression even in our political arena, still the CHURCH is meddling with the affaIrs of the state, specially in the morality issues; such us the use of contraceptics or the family planning method that our government imposing since time and memorial to control population explosion.
Its a long measure for us to implement the law in our country, but at least we are trying our very best in implemetation and proper monitoring, specially in the far flung communities.
Gracias!
