moraity and ethics?

Question

can anyone truly be moral. for can you be considered moral if you take in consideration of consequences.

Answer 1

In my view, morality and ethics are all about actions and behavior irrespective of whether they originate due to belief in a particular religious code and afterlife implications or due to legal compulsions or due to wisdom regarding their objectives and purpose. Ethical and moral 'thinking' is also relevant, but its relevance is only because it can and does influence actions and behavior.

In fact, blind following of morals and ethics does have the potential to go sour in changing times and situations, although these codes are so basic that they do not easily become irrelevant, yet they can so become irrelevant over a long period of time as the society evolves. Today, in my view, it would be foolish and blindly ignorant to treat an abortion or sex for pleasure with birth control measures as immoral under all circumstances.

Answer 2

I think you are right. One should not ignore the consequences nor be unaware of the consequences but true morality would then proceed without regard to the consequences.

Dez44 wants to compare the killing involved in war with street crime. A just war is equivalent to self defense and that is not the same as a criminal act.

Small doesn't want to consider motive at all. I guess he thinks used car salesman are moral because they act so nice and polite. Never mind that their motive for being nice is to sell you a piece of junk. When you have to trust someone, it is important to try and discern their motives.

Answer 3

well now, when it comes to morality and ethics, nothing is set in stone. what is morally right for one person can be morally wrong for another. and as for consideration of consequences, that plays right back into morality and ethics. by today's standards if you kill a man on the street, you are wrong, but if you kill a man in war, you are right. now to that difference in itself. is there truly a difference in the moral consequences based on circumstance? while both moral paths reach the same conclusion, one is shunned while the other is praised.

explain that one

Answer 4

Certain problems may arise by being moral,but problems are evitable.The problems u face,more experience u get,more stronger u will be,thus u r developing your personality.Such an attitude must be our ideal character. But in reality it is difficult to develop such an ideal character because the world in which u r living is immoral.Not fully but to a maximum extent.Adulteration,bribery,cheating,robbery,exploitation are rampant everywhere.The more u r closer to this ideal character the more personally u develop the more u will be protected from evil forces. So no one can truly be moral but we must try to be moral in its fullest sense.

Answer 5

being truly moral is saving a kid from getting run over, you know you might die, the worst consequince, and you still do it. but we cant all be like that. give people credit for what they do. If they do something partly for the concequinces, then credit them for how much they did it out of good will. so not many people are truly moral, but that is a high bar, dont undervalue being not quite truly moral.
