Morality vs. Obedience
If you cant pee a good reason for believing what you believe, then its non your belief its some matchless elses. Morality vs. Obedience How would someone lambaste apart this blanket statement and how would they comp be it to moral philosophy and obedience in less than three pages? Well, this is how I would. First, Id start by making clear that belief is different from friendship. Knowledge can be defined as a clear perception of a correctlyfulness or circumstance, erudition skill from practice. A belief can be defined as an assent to eachthing proposed or declared, and its acceptance as fact by reason of the authority from whence it proceeds, apart from personal cognition faith. So, to be clear, experienceledge is dropping a ball and knowing that it departing fall to the ground because of prior experience and the perception that the existence of graveness is a fact. Belief would be dropping the ball and believing it result float because your older brother told you it w ould. Next, I would establish that this statement is not staking claim on any measure of justice as it relates to beliefs or acquaintance.Beliefs and knowledge are both dynamic concepts on all organisational levels of the human experience, from the individual to the global. Lets take for example the statement, The Earth is flat. Five nose candy years ago, this statement was knowledge. Today, its knowledge that this statement is false. Knowledge changes establish on the information and evidence available to us at any point in time. This is also true of beliefs but in a different way. When most of us were young, we believed in the Tooth Fairy. Why? Because someone told us she was real.However, this belief changed as we began to mature and rely more upon our own abilities to mark truth from fiction. Thus, we have established that both knowledge and belief are subjective but for different reasons. Belief requires no evidence, while knowledge requires evidence and/or experience. I w ould now like to make a comparative argument regarding morality and obedience. Simply put, morality is doing whats right, disregardless of what anyone says and obedience is doing what your told, regardless of whats right. One can think of many an(prenominal) examples regarding these concepts as they are defined but I will admit this to the readers imagination. There is a simple truth to formation obedience and morality in this manner that I find flat comparable to the examined quotation. Neither belief nor obedience require an individual or group to actively engage in an activity or idea process independently. There is no critical thinking involved and one must put their faith in the rightness or truth of anothers belief, knowledge or otherwise. Both knowledge and morality require active engagement.One cannot possess knowledge without having evidence to back it up and one cannot act virtuously without understanding what it is that makes a situation right or wrong in their eyes . This is especially true when acting morally requires someone to go against social norms or established laws. The point of this piece of music is to shed light on the fact that we are all obligated for ourselves to the extent that we can be. No one person can know everything about everything, so belief and obedience are often usable and easy fallbacks. For example, I dont snowboard on black adamant slopes.This is not because I have knowledge of how hurt I will get but because I belief the sign posting and obediently board within my level to avoid possible injury. However, in every decision one makes there should be a component of knowledge and morality applied. In application to the snowboarding example, I know, from experience, that my snowboarding skills are not on par with a black diamond. I choose not to run a risk my health and the resources of first responders by making the moral decision to dwell off of it, despite my desire to challenge myself.
