...Children and Moral Values Why children today do not have the same moral values as older people? The reason this question is being asked. Because there should be concerns about all this access to information that children have today; is it too much for them? Is there more we should do as the older generations to show our kids better moral values and how to interpret all this information that they’re receiving? With the advent of the Internet and all its resources our children can find out things so much easier than before Google has become an easy do search engine it is making our children lazy at the same time informing them of things that they should not know. Facebook is another one of these things that is misguiding our children. They socialize with adults’, teenagers, and strangers. They're reading the problems that all these people are going through and foresee some of the same thing happening to them. That's why I have asked these questions. How important are moral roles for our children to follow? Good role models are hard to come by these days. Yes there are a lot of people out there that like to guide our children but not all these people are good people; so choose wisely who your children hang out with. This was said in the study I found by Carson. “Children have an innate desire to please their parents and behave well, according to Linda C. Mayes, M.D., and Donald J. Cohen, M.D, authors of "The Yale Child Study Center: Guide to Understanding Your Child." However...

...Ethics, Morals, Values and Beliefs Personal Ethics and Life David J. Graves Business Ethics Ottawa University Professor Donald Dunn July 7, 2013 This paper explains and defines my personal ethics, morals, values and beliefs, which will continue to grow as my maturity grows. My personal ethics in life stems from my family, my parents and from the continuous mistakes and accomplishments that I have made in my life. A famous philosopher, Frederick Nietzsche once said, “That which does not kill me makes me stronger.” I try to live my life by this principal, as difficult as it may be. This paper does not pretend to provide definitions for complex terms such as morality or ethics; it is merely a means to orient the reader in understanding my personal ethics in life. One of the most important characteristics of moral judgments is that they express our values. Not all expressions of values are also moral judgments, but all moral judgments do express something about what we value. Expressing one’s personal grasps of ethics and life may not always be understood in the context of the world at large, the environment or amongst the others in the household. This is usually due to the every person has some difference, small or great, in the development of their belief systems. Belief systems are established early in life through the environment of home, church, school or other social gatherings which help mold or shape their belief. Most of these beliefs and patterns of behavior are established...

...Assessing Moral Values Akeysha Patterson Independence University Everyone has the right to do what they want, as long as they do not harm other people. Is this true or not? In my opinion, this could be true as long as they aren’t breaking any laws. For instance, people have the right to get drunk out of their minds as long as they don’t get behind the wheel of a vehicle or become violent. Some individuals believe this statement and others don’t which is a prime example of moral relativism. “Moral relativism says that (1) there are no objective normative facts, and (2) what is right or wrong is relative to particular societies or persons, or moral framework or perspectives” (Lau & Chan, 2004 -2016). If a woman that was raped becomes pregnant by her attacker she has the right to decide to terminate the pregnancy or keep the child. Some people believe abortion is not permissible under any circumstances. Ex: rape or becoming pregnant out of wedlock. “But this not relativism, for it is supposed to be an objective fact that abortion is permissible in cases as rape” (Lau & Chan, 2004-2016). Moral contextualism “is the view that they very same action can be right in one situation (context), but...

...The Values of Moral Enlightenment My interpretation of Phaedra, established that the play played on various frenzied feelings in a variety of differing morals called love. A romantic love, between Hippolytus and Aricia. Then there is a love that by law, then and now, one of distortion, and unnatural, and tainted and incestuous love, what Phaedra had for Hippolytus, her stepson,. There then is the love that exists between family members, as it is with Hippolytus and his father, Theseus. There then is a different love that is so fierce, and so protective, I like to call, a replacement of a mother, a shielding love, as the one that Oenone, the aging nurse servant, had for Phaedra. Hippolytus confesses that he is in love with princesses Aricia, of Athens. However, King Theseus has, “decreed that she not keep alive her brothers’ seeds; Fearing some new shoots from their guilty stem…doomed her to be single all her days.” (The Norton, Pg 164) For King Theseus, believes that there is bad blood that runs through the family of Aricia. If Aricia married Hippolytus, or any other man, and had offspring then there will be a chance that bad blood would be passed on to future generations. Therefore, Hippolytus, or any man, cannot and would not go against king’s commands. I believe that true love could surmount all. Like Hippolytus and Aricia’s love for each other, their love brings modesty, truthfulness, and self-denying to each other. Even though the Hippolytus and Aricia will never...

...Guten Tag, Damen und Herren. Ich danke Ihnen für die Möglichkeit, meine kurze Rede zu halten. Und da wir heute über verschiedene Aspekte des Lebens der Jugendlichen sprechen, möchte ich die Ergebnisse der Forschungen Ihnen vorlegen. Sie zeigen, wie man heute die junge Leute in Deutschland beschreiben kann. Jede Gesellschaft hat die Jugend, die sie verdient, sagt der Volksmund. Die Gesellschaft, in der wir heute leben, hat eine Jugend, die nicht durch revolutionäre Ideen auffällt und die Großteils auch nicht gegen das so genannte System rebelliert. Die Jugendlichen scheinen sich irgendwie damit abgefunden zu haben, dass alles so laufen muss, wie es eben läuft. Die heutige Jugend ist für viele irritierend brav und angepasst. Sie denkt pragmatisch und findet nichts dabei, sich auf sich selbst und den eigenen Vorteil zu konzentrieren. Sie blickt ohne große Illusionen in die Zukunft. In ihren prioritären Lebenszielen spiegeln sich menschliche Grundbedürfnisse, nicht Weltbesserungsgeist: ein Bedürfnis nach Zugehörigkeit, ein Bedürfnis nach Anerkennung, ein Bedürfnis nach Selbstverwirklichung und vor allem auch ein tiefes Bedürfnis nach Sicherheit. Die Daten der Forschern sprechen diesbezüglich eine klare Sprache und liefern den Medien immer wieder Stoff für Storys über visionslose Ego-Taktiker, konsumfixierte Jugendkulturjugendliche oder auch „neue Konservative“, die, anstatt die Welt zu ändern, Benimmbücher lesen und in Tanzschulen gehen, um die guten alten Standardtänze zu erlernen...

Values exert major influence on the behavior of an individual and serve as broad guidelines in all situations. When one look at the dictionary meanings of each of the words, you can derive that each words has some similarity rather that difference. These three words go hand in hand in determining how an individual should conduct himself or herself in a modern society.

...Title: What Happened to our Moral Values? Author: Judelle Sterling Source: Helium.com, the Values and Morals in American Society: 1950s versus today Article by: Jennifer Buckett Created: September 23, 2007 I remember growing up as a kid. My mother would teach us on a daily basis how to always keep and practice good moral values. Not only did she teach it to us, she did it with examples. We watch mother saying “hello” and “good morning” with a smile to everyone; young, old, friends and strangers alike. We grew up learning how to respect everyone, how to conduct ourselves in a proper and respectful way to show respect and earn respect. That was the good old days when things were simple and happiness was all we had time for. Where love for the fellow man was so thick that you could feel it just by looking at each other as we walk by, yes that was the past. Now in the present time all I see is people being rude to each other. Moral values mean nothing these days. People are too busy to greet one another. All you see on the news is how a group of teenager beating up a 70 year old man in the name of fun or gang initiation. Things are getting out of hand, and it will get worse if we stand by and do nothing. Compared to the old days society today has plunged to a new low in moral values. Let’s go back as far the 1950s where our moral values were at its best. I wasn’t around in the 1950s but I’ve watch television shows...

...Fine. The most important moral value that I have learnt from this novel is honesty. There are many examples which show the importance of honesty throughout this novel. First of all, we can see that in this novel, parents are not being honest to their children. They do not tell their children what is happening between them. This causes the children a lot of stress and worry. For example, Lilith Harwick does not tell her children that their father is dying. We see how distressed Richard is when guessing the truth about his father's condition. When Colin's mother decides to leave Colin's dad and move up north, she does not explain the reason to Colin. Colin does not like his new life and misses his dad a lot, but his mother does not seem to be aware of how he felt. Apart from that, the parents' lack of honesty makes the children keep their thoughts and feelings to themselves. This is bad because it may cause the children to take the wrong action. For example, Colin stops talking about his dad to his mother, but plans to run away to find him one day. However, when parents are honest about their feelings and open up to their children, their relationship will get better. This can be seen in the case of Lucy and Pixie. After they burst out and tell each other their true feelings, their relationship improves a lot. Pixie respects Lucy and Lucy gives Pixie time and space to adapt to her new family. In a nutshell, honesty is the most important moral value that can be learnt from...

...Appendix 2 Rights or Wrongs? Public attitudes towards moral values. Stephen Rule Are South Africans apathetic about their beliefs or highly tolerant of diverse opinions and behaviour? South Africa is renowned for having one of the most liberal constitutions in the world, but an HSRC representative national survey of 4 980 adults (aged 16 and older) during September and October 2003, indicates that Government policy on “moral” issues is more “progressive” than the attitudes of the electorate. Since the 1994 change of Government, the Termination of Pregnancy Act has been passed to permit abortion. Similarly, discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and capital punishment for persons found guilty of murder, have been made unconstitutional. But according to the survey, most South Africans oppose abortion, same-sex adult sexual relationships and support capital punishment. All three issues are, however, hotly contested in civil society. Pro-life activists are objecting strongly to the termination of 300 000 pregnancies since 1996. Divisions exist within the Christian community with respect to consensual sex between adults of the same gender. The re-introduction of the death penalty is policy for several political parties. Public opinion gauged by the HSRC’s 2003 South African Social Attitudes Survey (SASAS) reflects this contestation. More than half (56%) of South African adults think that abortion is “always wrong” in the event of it being discovered that there is a strong...

...lesson in every single difficulty. Not only shall we find in our daily lives, but we could also find it while reading literary works, watching movies and suchlike. Reading literary works has interesting adventure in which an extra attention is needed to figure it out. For some people, reading novel or short story is more than just about looking for the beautiful story or the greatnesses of the story. Yet, there are some people who only read novel without a deep understanding. Usually the readers will be facing some questions which have something to do with the author’s intention making story. Common question coming out automatically after reading novel or short story is such what is the author trying to tell us in the story or what the moral lessons of the story is. According to Nurgiyantoro (1995:66) to know of what the author feels like to convey in the story is the main task of reading fiction work, it is either Novel or Short story. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of advantages gained by reading fiction. According to Nurgiyantoro (1995:3) Fiction talks about various problems of life in terms of interaction with environment, ourselves, and our interaction with god. Fiction is the result of dialogue, contemplation, and author reactions of environment and life. Although it is fictitious, it is not true if fiction considered as the...

...that there are objective values (i.e. moral facts). Moral realism is the theory that moral statements have a truth value and there are moral facts to determine said truth values. Moral realists believe moral facts can exist independent of our knowledge of them, therefore moral facts need no proof to exist and we do not necessarily know any moral facts to determine a statements truth value. This theory belongs to cognitivism which is a collection of theories that claim that moral statements have a truth value; however moral realism differs from other cognitivist theories like error theory. Error theory states that while moral statement have a truth value there are no moral facts so all positive moral statements are false. Although both theories state that moral statements have a truth value they disagree on whether or not moral facts exist to determine the truth value of a statement. The implications of moral realism are that moral statements like “abortion is wrong” can be objectively true and they are not just simple matters of opinion. This means that people can hold false views on morality just as people who believe the earth is flat hold a false view; therefore this implies that moral knowledge and moral ignorance are possibilities. Some people, like Martin Luther King, seem morally knowledgeable which fits in with the idea of moral realism as they believe in moral facts and facts must be able to be learnt. However, we cannot know what the moral facts are to be learnt so...

...“Evaluate the view that religion is an important source of moral values in contemporary societies” The debate as to whether religion is a vital source of moral values in contemporary society is continuous. Sociologists aim to know and understand exactly how and if religion plays any role in current society. This leads us to ask what exactly religion is. According to sociologists, there are three main ways of defining religion: substantive, functional and social constructionist. Max Weber (1905) describes substantive religion as a belief in a superior or supernatural power that is above nature and cannot be explained scientifically. Substantive definitions are exclusive – they draw a clear line between religious and non-religious beliefs. To be a religion, a set of beliefs must include beliefs in God or the supernatural. Functional definitions, however, are inclusive – allowing sociologists to include a wide range of beliefs and practices. Emile Durkheim (1915) defines it in terms of contribution it makes to social integration rather than specific belief in a higher being. Milton Yinger (1970) identifies functions that religion performs for individuals, such as answering ‘ultimate questions’. Whereas, the final definition is social constructionist takes an interpretivist approach focusing how religion is defined by the individual. This definition believes that it is impossible to produce a single universal definition of religion to cover all cases since in reality different individuals...

...and how people see religion and how important and influential it is to our moral values in contemporary societies today. This essay will look at why various different theory ideologies and their ideas about religion, and how it influences us day to day in our lives. The definition of a religion can vary depending on who you ask. The simplest definition of a religion is that for a religion to become a religion, there must be a belief of the supernatural and must also be a belief in God. The functionalists hold a different perspective on religion. Functionalists see religion as being there to fulfil the needs of society for example, functionalists feel that religion sets certain norms and values for society and gives people morals. Durkheim see's religion as something that contributes to society, rather than to any specific belief in god or any supernatural life form. For functionalists, society is a system of interrelated parts with basic needs that must be met in order to survive. Religion plays a key function for society as it creates social solidarity and a value consensus. Durkheim says that the key feature of religion is not a belief in gods or the supernatural, but a fundamental distinction between the sacred and the profane, as long as you see what you worship as sacred then Durkheim says that it is fine to be a religion. Durkheim believes in the collective conscience - a set of shared norms, values, beliefs and knowledge. Like in Durkheim's study of Totemism, it was proven...
