Do all people experience morality?

Question

Do all people experience morality?

Answer 1

yep

Answer 2

Morality is mostly learned behavior. Humans are nothing more than intelligent mammals. We learned that its detrimental to the species to harm, steal, rape, pillage, burn from one another. After developing speech and language people are then able to convey feelings, which can sway some into empathy/"morality" or not wanting this to happen to me so I won't do it to them.

But if you haven't noticed morality is VERY subjective. Some believe killing others of the opposite religion is moral, others will allow themselves to be beaten mercilessly without fighting back, while some live on animalistic feeling.

If you do nothing to a child but feed it, then teach it how to feed itself, a human will do nothing different from an animal. Morality doesn't matter when survival is the topic.

Sociopaths are incapable of morality/conscience, some are psychopathic but do not have to be. That should tell you there that not all do.

Answer 3

Morality is what becomes acceptable conduct to the majority or the King or the Ruler.

In all normal minds there is a fragment of God a Mystery Monitor, a Spirit presence which leads us all to know right from wrong, just why we can seem to agree about most major modes of conduct.

When the mind rejects God or is not normal, that's when we begin to have problems. We can reject God by rejecting that in our mind which is God like. When we choose to do that which we know is wrong we have rejected God. If we fail to know what is right or wrong there is no God in mind.

Answer 4

Psychopaths do not have morality, they just blindly follow the "rules" of morality, because they think thats how things work & for their benefit; ie not getting into a sticky situation.

Their brain is a little different compare to ours(not fully functioning limbic system perhaps? i do not know), because of that, they are not usually aware of other people's feelings. I think thats what drives them to do "immoral" things in other people's perspective.

Answer 5

Most do, yes. Those who have no concept of language or grammar, however, do not, as the mindset generated by use of a linguistic & grammatical framework is necessary for defining morality. Without it, there is only "pleasant/desireable", "unpleasant/repulsive" and "neither pleasant nor unpleasant/boring".

<edit: Sociopaths & psychopaths have their own definition of morality, so they experience morality, it's just not necessarily something most folks would be able to comprehend or agree with. As for "understanding right & wrong", it's not that they see a certain set of actions as "wrong" and another as "right" - what they see is that some actions will have undesirable social consequences (such as jail time, lynching or the death penalty) and some will have desirable consequences. Their own feelings about actions society considers wrong but which they choose to engage in anyway - their feeling isn't that they're doing something wrong, the feeling is usually that they are following their nature and that society, in following -it's- nature, cannot reasonably condone or accept many of their actions. It's their natural right to do whatever they feel they can get away with, even if society defines their actions as wrong.

Answer 6

Truth is Religious Experience in Morality within the Life- and Social World.

Answer 7

No.  There are antisocial people out there who feel no sense of accomplishment when they do the right thing, and no sense of shame or guilt when they do the wrong thing.  Often, they will know what is right and wrong, but will have no sense that they should obey these rules.
