The difference between morals and common sense

[BrillyMac]

You are because that wasn't what you were saying. An individuals morals may not align with society's morals. You are creating a pointless philosophical discussion and one that's been beaten to death at that.

Well then my bad for not sayn it right but that's what i meant

Morals are not natural. Morals are based on the combination of empathy, sympathy, and higher intelligence. If morals were natural, you wouldn't see such differences from society to society to what is considered morally and ethically right.

But self conscious that tells you what you did is right or wrong is natural right?

Upbringing also plays a role. If I'm never raised to believe that hitting others is wrong, I may grow and develop to see nothing wrong with running up to a random guy and punching him in the face.

Another example is the fact that in Japan, it's common for genitals to be censored even in porn, but not so in America. In America, it is considered morally wrong to depict young or young-looking characters in sexual lights, but it is not in Japan. Morals also differ from people to people. Some people see abortion as morally wrong, some don't.

Great answer. But I think there's a definite wrong no matter where you're from. Murder is still wrong. If someone is raised to think murdering is right then they'll murder. But, they were taught that. I think as opposed to being taught to think murdering is right, human beings already know murdering is wrong. You have to be taught that it's wrong. Pornogrphy is something we created. But we didn't create the concept of death. What in saying is we know the right and wrong of things we didn't create. But the things we did create, a moral ha to be agreed on about it

And I'm saying we didn't create death because the second law of thermodynamics already existed

People attacking the op because he's against homosexuality. :lol

Moral is based on perspective point of view; basically how someone sees something compared to another person. Morals can depend on your religion, culture and background. Common sense is humanity's perspective point of view, where people from different religion, culture and background all agree on something.

Those are natural for humans, no? It's natural in a way at least.


OT: Your self conscience is based on your experiences in life though. Not everyone has the same conscience or way of thinking. You have to teach people that stealing or killing is wrong, but once taught, it's very easy to understand and remember.

No. Yea, those things are natural, but simply combining natural elements doesn't make the result natural. Every man-made thing is the result of combining natural parts into something unnatural.

Morality is a social construct, not an inherent one, formed from inherent natural feelings.

I have a different idea of common sense, It's the sense of common things rather then what everyone gets(understands) and agrees on. So like that there are different levels of it, some people see everyday things more clearly then others.

Other then that, this topic has already been solo'd.

There is no 100% distinction and the terms can be used interchangable depending on circumstances and point of statement(s) but main difference is morals have to do with ethics and conciousness while common sense are likely to be social agreements for practical purposes which are not on paper. For example it is common sense to wait people to get out of public transportation devices and get in after them (in where i live) but it is not in China (from what i heard) for example.

Morals are the principles that distinguish good and bad behaviors, it can be taught or it can be founded by ones own beliefs .

common sense is the basic ability to perceive, understand and judge things that's shared by nearly all people .

if you did your research well then you could've done better

 

[EnderWolf1013]

Morals are evolutionary and common sense are something that is just.... There? I mean, common sense isa collective group of things that most people know.

Great answer!

It's not a great answer.

Morals are the product of the conscience; concepts, experiences and illnesses are what warp them, not create them. For example, if a person takes every part of any religion without any question nor doubt, they have been indoctrinated. This means their morals can have been warped from the word go, meaning they don't know any different and cannot change without coaxing and true experience. Religious terrorism is the greatest example of this.

An indoctrinated person can become warped into thinking that it's okay to kill anyone, where their untouched conscience would tell them otherwise. Other things like mental illness and bad memories can bring about similar effects, the former of which may not be consoleable though.
