 LAW
AND
MORALITY
We all probably understand what morality is, but sometimes
we find ourselves in a situation when we understand
something very well and are confident in our understanding,
but we still find it difficult to explain it. Morality is a form of
social consciousness, a set of unspoken rules, customs,
habits, and norms that are accepted in the life of a
community. Moral determines how human action should be,
and members of the community accept these principles as
they do and subject them to regulating inter-ethnic relations.
Moral rules are not absolutely valid, they differ in time and
space (Kizza, 2010).
I would say that this is a pretty good definition, but my opinion
lacks one important element that is associated with the
survival and advancement of the community, so my definition
would have to be the next: morality is a set of habits,
undefined rules, ways of acting, communication, interaction,
and everything else that enables one community to live and
progress. If the community is unable to survive or progress (in
this world one does not go without the other) then there is no
point in talking about the morality of such a community for the
simple reason that it will soon disappear or have disappeared.
That is how the rules of that community disappear. Moral is
the cornerstone of the community. Looking at people as a part
of a large community, morality is an undeniably positive thing
as it determines what is good and what is bad inside the
community.
