MORAL UNDERSTANDING

Tuesday, October 26, 2010
Moral term derived from Latin. Singular form of the word 'moral' is plural mos while the mores that each has the same meaning that is habit, custom. If we compare with the meaning of the word 'ethics', it etymologically, the word 'ethics' with the word 'moral' because both words have the meanings are equally that is habit, custom. In other words, if the meaning of the word 'moral' with the word 'ethics', then the formulation of the meaning of the word 'morals' are the values and norms which become the handle for a person or group in regulating behavior. While the only difference being his native language, ie 'ethics' from the Greek and 'moral' from Latin. So when we say that narcotics dealers that act is immoral, then we assume that people act violates the values and ethical norms accepted in society. Or when we say that the rapist is morally depraved, which means that the person is holding on to the values and norms that are not good.'Morality' (from the Latin adjective moralists) has a meaning which is basically the same as 'moral', only more abstract tone. Talking about the "morality of an act", meaning that a morally good deeds or bad deeds. Morality is the quality or overall moral principles and values regarding the good and bad.
