Is there any moral progress of humankind?

Question

Is there any moral progress of humankind?

Answer 1

Are you nuts?  Read some history.  Humankind has progressed SOOOO far in the last few thousand years.  

Judging from your question, I assume your answer is no.  Humanity is not perfect and NEVER will be.  But we are definitely making progress.

Answer 2

Progress towards what?

Answer 3

I think if you had lived all of human history, that you would have realized your question was superfluous. The moral circle has ever expanded; so far.

Answer 4

Yes.Women's rights, abolition of slavery,human rights,animal rights etc.Yet,yet I am not sure.I want to believe we are progressing.If so, is it due to religion ?Or development of reasoning  power?Does moral progress imply a fundamental change in Man's nature?Then is it possible?So many questions arise before we can answer this.

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

people are more aware of knowledge of what is happening in reworked , yet just as arrogant then ever before. however i believe that there might just be a hint of a change. it's shown though in how we don't want to resolve the questions of abortions. most people feel that because this is based on complicated circumstances that the act itself is more moral than before and that what god means when he said man was weak.

Answer 7

I don't think so, I think is happening exact the opposite. Humankind consists of individual people that's why in order to achieve some progress in morality in a global level everyone has to try to improve his self. But as improvement takes a lot of work we'd rather stay as we are and act like animals sometimes. Still there are good and moral people, at least where I live, but their number decrease constantly.
