What does the majority of your society consider morally and ethically correct, but you disagree?

Question

What does the majority of your society consider morally and ethically correct, but you disagree?

Answer 1

Same things your society does. Proscriptions of murder, rape, some forms of violence and all the other universal morality we see in humans.

Ethics can vary somewhat. Sexual peccadilloes of politicians get to much review in my society. I disagree with this.

Answer 2

Extra-marital s*x, ala-Rebel Man.  Also Abortion, though I know i'm fairly certian there is no clear majority on either side of that debate, as most people see it as a big gray area with varrying opinions on when its ok or when its not.  Like to say, abortion is ok for rape victims, but no one else.

Answer 3

War.

Answer 4

Backing up what they consider to be morally and ethically correct with a quote from The Bible.

Answer 5

Pornography.

...its not ok. Its disgusting, you need to grow up if you seriously think its essential because your a man....

or if you think its ok for your boyfriend to do it.

extra martial s*x...

s*x in general the way the media portray it is very unequal and degrading. s*x is not just something. You can have a baby from s*x, it should be taken a little bit more seriously then rubbing here feels good.

Sometimes i feel like society is brainwashing people into thinking these things are ok.

Abortion.

Should only be done under the right circumstances not because you made a stupid mistake, or were drunk or forgot to take the pill. Deal with the mistakes you make. You cant go back in life and fix everything, an abortion is always going to be with you. just have the baby or put it up for adoption why do you have to be so cruel as to abort it.

btw, i know i might sound like a conservative christian but im muslim...so yeah im just thnking about things sensibly.

Answer 6

christianity and war.

Answer 7

To worry more about the children's self esteem then their work ethic or responsibility to themselves.

Answer 8

Belief in a god-person.

Answer 9

Prohibition.

Marijuana and other drugs in the United States are treated as if they are a direct crime against other people. The fact is that these people need help to overcome addictions, and, in the case of marijuana, there is no addiction present. In marijuana's case, it is extremely harmless compared to most legal drugs and has countless medical benefits. The fact is that people don't commit crimes or injure society in any way unless they are driven to do so by either themselves of the drug. If the drug doesn't cause them to, yes, send them to jail for committing that crime. If the drug is addictive or makes people aggressive, give people the help they need to overcome the need for that drug and to become a person who can fit into society. Marijuana does not increase aggression, decrease cognitive function, lead to crime, overdose, addiction, or by any medical records, even cancer. Yet the government has continually brainwashed people to believe that it does.

Answer 12

Answer 13

Extramarital s*x.

Well mostly what society sees as okay is just premarital s*x, but I decided to cover all the bases with that one because there are people out there who think marriage vows mean nothing.

Chris- I knew I'd heard that name before.  I don't want to say anything more because I'll sound judgemental, and that isn't right.

Answer 14

Here's one: I think that all drugs should be legalized. I don't condone drug use by any means but legalizing drugs would take away a lot of the profit, crime, and trafficking involved with illegal drugs. It would empty out our jails and violent offenders would be made to serve out their entire terms instead of being released early to make room for non-volent drug offenders.

Answer 15

I tend to agree with my society's morals, although most of them seem softer on crime than I do.

Answer 16

Revenge!

Answer 17

Big brother laws designed to protect people from themselves.

Answer 18

I'm probably going to get the most thumbs-down in history for this one, but I don't think it's okay for black people to refer to white people in terms of race (e.g. How society deems it okay for a black person to say "This white guy at the store did ABC," but it's not okay for a white person to say "That black guy said XYZ.") In my opinion both are wrong. Why can't people just say, "that guy" instead of identifying their race in the sentence?

Okay, bring on the thumbs-down.

Answer 19

Bueno, espero se puedan las respuestas en español.

Creo que lo que más discrepo es el analfabetismo, la gente se conforma a veces con los conocimientos que tienen, el gobierno promueve muy malamente la educación en valores y ética y nadie hace nada por mejorarlo.
