Justice as it stems from English Commonlaw, if you will.

I'm saying it's rather tempting when I hear of someone being a victim of an acid attack, to wish the same upon the attacker

But ultimately, that's the wrong course, even if we didn't have laws forbidding it.

Gnight

should we set our morale base by the principles and values that the science of ethics teaches?

or just continue letting the masses wing it with social media?

I'm by no means a cultural relativist. But I don't like the idea of experiments determining what is morally right and wrong. That should be left up to society.

*''Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. The field of ethics, along with aesthetics, concern matters of value, and thus comprise the branch of philosophy called axiology.''*

I would say Morals are never up for social debate, rather, Ethics must be the product of public consensus.

what

so your answers are leave it like it is

I don't think anyone would like the idea of having a moral abiter, commanding from upon high what is right.

I have always seen a clear distiction, Morals are an individuals pricibles and value's of right and wrong, Ethics by contrast are a comunity standard. To say "That person has no morals" implies that they have no internal standards. Judges are held to standards of Ethics by their associations.

everyone has a morla arbiter

parents, priests, politicians, social media

novadays politicans are the ones on top using morality to sway public opinion

with shady values and principles that are hollow

I don't think a most adults have an arbiter. It is fine for a kid to be taught right from wrong by their parents but the idea of having a child is for them to grow in to their own person. Yes politicians can use shame to sway public opinion. It's a good thing we have elections then.

I couldn't care less what my politician thinks is right. Jacob Rees-Mogg is a c

Christian, he think abortion is wrong. I don't agree with him but I still wouldn't mind him running the country.

I would pull out the term impressing.

Part of Parenting and Religion in general is to impress some ideas and standards into a child so they develope Morals that are in line with the community Ethic standard.

That is why so many religous texts are concerned with standards of conduct and spend time explaining in "Moral of the story format" why they preach those standards

How on earth could you codify 'ethics'? This is going to be different for everyone, even in a small community, not to mention on a country or global scale.

theres a field on ethics called applied ethics

is the only way to do it has nothing to do with the philosophers that rant about life and humans, thats meta ethics

The Ten Commandments is a good exsample, Shiria Law is another, US Code is the legal standard =of behavior for all persons in the US

Is this the thiong that states you should eat cows instead on chicken coz you get 100 times more meat from only 1 life ?

No that is a Hidiaths (Spelled wrong and I don't care)

hedonists?

jk lol

The point is that every community has an Ethical Standard of behaviors, some my be more lax than others, but they do have them.

no they dont

you may be talking about the set of princpiles and values their moral are conformed by

those are the ones that differ

OK, so where do you see social media deciding what our ethics are?

ethics cant be changed by social media

ethics is ethics , is a science

look
