Natural law?

Question

Do you believe that there is a law that underlies all people in some way that produces similarity of belief and thought?

-j.

Answer 1

Yes. In most cultures, murder is wrong, stealing is wrong, things like that. There seems to be an underlying law within-perhaps the conscience, perhaps not.

Answer 2

I think ultimately the answer to your question is yes - but it's a very complex question that requires a long answer. In sort, because nobody will read a 500 page essay lol, when you get right down to it we organize ourselves into societies, and we conform to those societies to a degree. Natural law comes within the ethos and pathos of the collective group living together. These ethos and pathos create similarity of belief and thought - because they themselves are a confirmation of what the whole both believes and thinks. This is how, and why maybe, some counties or cities are heavily industrial and democrat voting, and other areas are more affluant and Republican voting (for example).

Answer 3

Yes. It's called physics and biochemistry. These define the basic laws that deal with neural net formation, lymbic system reaction, emotional imprinting and memory formation.

Beyond that, you have dozens of theories about behavior, from cognitivists to rationalists to behaviorists. And dozens of variations of each explaining how and why any given psychological process works.

Answer 4

Yes Julius Cesar called it the Universally discoverable laws.

Answer 5

Yes, the law of cooperative collaboration. When we work together, we get things done.

Answer 8
