Ethics #2


If there were no moral absolutes than the world would hectic. The United States is a place that is founded on absolute truths. We have laws and if you don’t follow those laws then you will be punished. For the most part our society has been successful because we have been able to sustain it. With no moral absolutes there is no hope at all.
Believing in no moral absolutes is taking the easy way out. Thinking that there is no absolute truth is ridiculous because as humans we know that murder is wrong. If you were to argue with this statement then you are probably insane. We are born with a sense of right and wrong. Some people call them instincts, your conscious or the moral law/code. You can call it whatever you want, but we were born with it. To deny this is absolutely preposterous. Without rules we would live in a world of chaos.
If a society were based on no absolute truth it would fail instantly. With no rules there would be senseless killings and people would be stealing right and left. With no structure you cant get anything substantial done. The idea that what is good for you might not be good for me is nonsense. With this society it does not reward the hard working man, because someone could steal all of his money and it would be just fine: you couldn’t do anything about it because there would be no law enforcement because they believe its not needed. In my opinion this society is corrupt, selfish, evil, and unjust.
