Reply To: Is Morality Natural? (Year 2)

[Anonymous]

For me this topic actually creates more questions than answears. If we look at some of the articles for example the one we had to read for today’s class we might come into conclusion that morality actually might be natural. And as it was mentioned in the text, we come to similar decisions when we are put to the test but not in real life. I think it may be because we are not really thinking of the after effects. The situation is somehow not affecting us. At least we cannot feel it. We can really see it while watching “Eye in the sky” because the decision making process was really long. Also, it was just a really specific topic – we are talking about serious national intrest – so i think people who were supposed to make a decision were just scared of the consequences. As we know, decisions during these types of military operations require instant reactions. And because we saw that making that decision wasn’t really easy – we can suspect that morality might be in fact natural.
