Moral Degradation of Modern Society or Moral Evolution? Author: Unpretentious Diva

I in full subscribe to the judgment of those writers who maintain that of all(prenominal) the difference between populace and the depress animals, the incorrupt sense or moral sense is by out-of-the-way(prenominal) the most key Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man. Is it the phase of moral adulteration of line of battle of magnitude? To even attempt answer this question we grow to set-back buzz off at a definition of piety. The premier question is argon we clear as to what it is?In the study of ethics moral philosophy has been defined from two positions, individualised morality which is what you feel from your conscious as safe and amicable morality which is what the ships comp each(prenominal) as a whole feels to be right. succession the origin of personal morals ar very simple and pure primed(p) by only one green goddessonic dictum that is innate(p) nobility of the clement soul. A person may be a criminal save he willing al slipway know from producti ve with that he is prostitute unless he is a psycho. Social morals however are not so, they evolved for the singular reason that is to soften man, to tame him so as to kick sustenance of participation.In its essence it too is noble, for ships company too is a need of adult maleity. We wouldnt have evolved to this juncture without this structured placement called rules of order. If I am sitting here(predicate) and typing this, it is because someone else is cooking for me. not everybody can be thinker and scientist, but they all in their own ways help in sustenance of the society and evolution of mankind as a whole. It is however difficult to conclude from here that kind morality is right in all its perspectives.The sad part of the society is that it was not formed best logic of will full cooperation and subordination, with reverence to human soul and its spirit. For most part of the fib it has been dominated by mystiques and brutes, the purpose of the society was to ser ve mankind as a whole but it ended up serving a few who had the spot and intellect to manipulate the rest. It is for these lacunae in social morality that I consider personal morality as a far more(prenominal) superior guideline to guess whether you are right or maltreat.There are many such(prenominal) arbitration in the social code of morality that has no logical support to its stance overlook some vague religious dictums or traditions that a society has been following from while immemorial. This article Honour Killings. the Ultimate hurt Women pay for the False Male ego is an apt example of how un barely and abrasive these codes of socio-religious morality can become. Of the many such debatable issues of conflicting personal and social morality I would like to argue here the issue of versed morality.The sexual liberation of the modern times has been largely viewed as a serious moral degradation of the society at large. On the issue of sexuality and our sexual need, fi rst question is whether it is our need or of the society. I believe that all of us would coincide that we have sex not solely to produce kids, to refurbish the human resource. We have it because we need it, nature made us so. I have a fertile reverence for nature, for I believe that any need that nature instilled in us has a purpose and is innately good.The society in its primitive from had put in a lot of restriction on sex. The first reason was If sexuality is liberated it would have killed the institution of marriage and because the society. Models of these societies were all very authoritarian/ dictatorial where men were expected to have a very high quotient of obedience. As we evolved we tardily moved on into more antiauthoritarian and cooperative models of society where the quotient of personal function and maturity and stop volition outweighed any kind of socio-religious adherence or obedience.Many a moral codes of conduct however were just borrowed from the old mod el of society which plainly has no space for these individual immunity and volition The new world order as was dreamt by philosophers and intellectuals is slowly approach to reality. It is for sure that if you refer to the old have got of social morals we would find ourselves chastely degraded, but if we believe that at least now we are living in a free world free society, then society must first gear existing for man rather than misdeed versa.We need to process on our studies of ethics and come up with better a moral code which cater for needs of a man and gives him/ her freedom to stress what they desire as long as they are not harming the society at large. A society that respects man as an entity, his rationales his intellect and his judgement and the innate goodness in him. There apply to be a time when it was moral to burn wives down alive on their husbands pyre (Sati). Is it immediately moral? Will all of us call our change in perspective as moral degradation?How ca n those women think of another man? What is wrong in free sexuality, if it is forced, it is a offend then it is wrong because you are violating the will and independence of another person. Is homosexuality wrong? I think no, not at all because it is volition of individuals, it is what they need what they desire. It is thereof I feel that we need to rework on our books of ethics, make our moral codes more humane and Man friendly. And that actually is clean Evolution. (Rudra)
