Activity No.3- Morality and Other Normative Subjects

Answer the following questions:

1. Think of Moral beliefs that you have held from childhood but come to question when you
grew older. What were the sources of these beliefs? What made you question these beliefs as
you mature in life?

The moral belief that I held from my childhood is “Giving is better than receiving” the source of this
beliefs is from my grandparents, They always said it to us even my parents always remind this belief
because they adopt it from them.

2. Should our laws be always founded in morality or only to a certain extent? Explain.

No, Our laws do not always reflect a national morality, and what is “legal” and “illegal” does not always
translate to what is “right” or “wrong.” For example, it is taught from a young age that murder is wrong,
bad and evil. Laws are created for the common good. Morality has no part in the process. What we
consider “morals” vary from person-to-person, and from culture-to-culture, which is why they’re not a
consideration.

3. Consider certain practices that are accepted in one religion but rejected in another. Is the
difference a matter of religious belief or of moral principle? Explain.

Christian (men) take off their hats to enter a church. Jewish men put on a hat to enter temple. No
morality or lack of morality involved. It’s just what they do.
