Morality 2 Quick Summary


Morality is a vast topic, covering every aspect of our everyday life. It is always a big issue on the news, in the papers and on the radio. We hear about the decreasing morality of our children, country and the world. Morality features largely in church life, because the more morale people become, the more religious they become. Basic rules of decent behaviour are introduced in the Decalogue.
But as we saw the extracts from various television shows, has it not become apparent that we are in fact not moral? I don’t mean us as individuals, but us as a society. Shoplifting, stalking, harassment, literal and social prostitution. These things happen everyday, everywhere. The problem of low morality comes with the times, however every generation experiences it to some extent. So are we really that corrupted, or are we just experiencing difficulties of the modern age?It is impossible to give one coherent answer, or even hazard a guess. The only thing we can do is become more moral and more aware of our dark urges and weaknesses. For if we become better, then through us society will become better as well.
