I have decided to choose "Why should be Moral “as my research topic. This topic fascinates me because I’m going to school to be a lawyer and eventually go into politics. Another reason why I chose this chapter, I have been doing a lot of thinking and I always wanted to know why do people do right, when it so easy to do wrong. For the most part I chose this chapter because I want to get a different perspective on morality. The first thing that I learned about moral values is that moral values are the standards of good and evil, which govern an individual’s behavior and choices. Without Moral values I think that we would all would perish. I learned this from http://www.allaboutphilosophy.org/moral-values-faq.htm
The second thing that I have learned about Moral values is that it’s derive from within one’s own self. The choices that are made by an individual from childhood to adulthood are forbidden and acceptable, kind or cruel, generous or selfish. I also learned this from http://www.allaboutphilosophy.org/moral-values-faq.htm
The last thing that I have learned is about Moral value is that Moral values are generally shared values. If we did not have an values in common, it would be exceedingly difficult to agree on any one course of action. But since there is often disagreement as to what is the right thing to do in any situation, we can see that in fact, various values are shared to a greater or lesser extent. On some values there will be nearly unanimous agreement. On others, there may be considerable disagreement. I learned this from http://www.ethicsweb.ca/guide/moral-decision.html

What up Dorcelin! It's interesting how lots of people know the difference between right and wrong, yet they still tend to do the wrong thing. Agreed? There are just so many things in this world that we as humans will never understand (philosophy) but that's a whole point of us being here, to try to find the meaning. Anyways, great reasons you got goin' on. Keep up the good work!
Dorcelin,
I actually chose to write my final paper on the same topic.
I think morals have a lot to do with the way we were raised personally. You said that Moral values are generally shared values. I'd agree with you but I would like to add I think there are underlying morals we follow, but I would say they're often skued by issues such as religion and location. I definitely think you've gotten a good start. The links give some really good info as well.
