Reply To: Is Morality Natural? (Year 2)

[Anonymous]

It is not so easy to think about morality, because it does not always work as we think. Sometimes it seems to us that in a given situation we are sure that we would do this way and not otherwise. And when something happens, our reaction is completely different. In our society we have a universal morality and this works out. We know that we can’t kill someone because we don’t like this person or not steal because we don’t have enoughmoney to buy for example tv. But sometimes we are in hard situations, which we call moral dilemma. When I looked at the sky in the sky, I wondered what I would do if I were in the soldier place. Probably I would do the same thing like them – I would try to waiting until this girl go to home. But I don’t know if I could risk lives many people for this one girl. I think my emotions could take control of my mind, which could cause a reaction that I wouldn’t expect. So this is a reason why I couldn’t be a soldier haha
Everyone is different and has a different point of view. Some of us can keep one’s cool in hard situation while others cannot. I think this can affect how decision we make in a moral dilemma situation.
