Morality

Morality is a set of rules, judgments and intuitions about what is considered good, bad, right or harmful.

Definition

Morality includes both personal beliefs and social norms. In practice, it influences decisions, responsibility, assessment of consequences and the way others are treated. Mature moral reflection requires not only a sense of being right, but also taking into account facts, perspectives and consequences of action.

Key ideas

  1. Ocena dobra i krzywdy
  2. Normy społeczne
  3. Odpowiedzialność za konsekwencje

Practice and life

When making a difficult decision, write down: who will be affected by my choice, what values ​​are in conflict and what harm I can limit.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to confuse morality with immediate outrage. The second mistake is to use your own rules without considering their effects on others.

Questions for self-reflection

  • Kogo dotyczy ta decyzja?
  • Jakie wartości są w konflikcie?
  • Jaka odpowiedź minimalizuje krzywdę i zachowuje odpowiedzialność?
