Do morals come from society or from inside the person?

Answer 1

From their interaction.

Answer 2

I'll use some theories of Psychology I learned this year in my class that talk about morals.

Lawrence Kohlberg, this psychologist, came up with some stages of moral development. According to him, there are 3 levels of moral development.
1. Level 1 which is Pre-Conventional.
a. A child does what it's supposed to do, following punishment. If it will get punished for something, he will avoid it. In other words, parents set the morals. The child follows self-interest, but will stop if it means punishment.

2. Level 2 is Conventional.
a. The individual will conform to what its parents and society has been telling them to do. Normally, at this stage, kids are in school and they conform to what their teachers say, or not.

3. Level 3 is Post Conventional.
a. A person will follow its own morals, normally through adulthood, and will be based on universal ethics. That means that an individual will follow his or her own voice and act according to well-established principles.

There's also another psychologist, Carol Gilligan, which says this moral development theory only applies to men. Therefore, she says that women develop their morals differently. According to her, women's morals are shaped more towards making the people in her life happy.

Therefore, you can conclude that at an early stage in our lives, our parents (external forces) shape us. When we are teens, it is normally our parents and society (external forces). Once we are adults, or young adults, our morals are influenced by our own selves (internal force).

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

What a great question!
I think our morals are conjunctive to society and being human. So, both.

Mostly society, we have evolved with a society that has been defining morals.

Though, if you're questioning your own morals... Experience is the only way to define them for yourself.

Answer 4

Society is made from persons. Only person is real source of morals.

Answer 5

Whether it comes from society or the person, it comes from both. Because the person belongs to the society, and the society contains each person.

Answer 6

Morals are nothing more than idea, an idea can be chosen to be beleived or not to believed, therefore if you beleive in certain morals then they come from inside the person (you), if you chose to ignore them then they do not exist.

Answer 7

The ever governing sub-conscious has a preset
picture of morality. Over time interactions and
events can either defile or strengthen that picture. The examples we set are the picture were painting.

Answer 8

Vulgar and ignorant understanding of internal sense called ethic, unique for any each of us. Intellect made conscience conscious of itself. Out of it societies produced obviously unnatural moral laws which only dead never violated. So, do not judge yourself a lot...
