Moral responsibility of society

Not all human actions are subject to approval or condemnationif it is an action whose performance cannot be avoided, such as eating, sleeping and in general all physiological functions or actions that do not have moral consequences, like walking down the streetplay, etc., we cannot consider all these acts as the moral activity of man, without that they cease to be acts of man.

A moral act, on the other hand, is part of a normative context or moral code, which governs a particular community. It is a conscious and voluntary activity that presupposes the subject’s free participation in its realization. Human works include all human activities some of which are acts that affect the moral life.

Correctly moral spells are those which pri an individual can be held responsible. Example: What moral responsibility does a person who commits murder have to defend his life? What kind of responsibility does someone run over in a traffic accident bear because their car has a manufacturing problem and the brakes don’t work? As can be seen, the same act can represent different degrees liability depending on the circumstances that arise, From the previous questions we can draw the following conclusions: In the first case, killing in self-defense, it follows that the person who commits it does not do it voluntarily, there is no intention to injure, but to prevent it from being done. him. An alternative is imposed from the outside, to which one must respond, there is no free choice between the life of another and one’s own, a decision must be made to save a life, but that decision is not the product of analysis, premeditation. Of course, in this example we consider the attack and the response to be immediate, unplanned, without options.

In the second case, it was not premeditated, however, what would happen if a traffic accident happened because the driver was driving for the first time, without any training? Here there is total moral responsibility, because there is an obligation to take car to get to know its operation.

We recently read newspaper news colored by events as: fraud, robbery, sexist violence, injustice and inequalitymoral damage is created here, which is considered a complaint dignity, honor, peace, physical integrity and privacy of people.

A perfect society undoubtedly does not exist, but it is undoubtedly the moral responsibility of an act that is in direct relationship with CONSCIOUSNESS, the knowledge that a being has about itself and its environment. That knowledge of good and evil that enables a person to make a moral judgment of reality and actions, especially their own. Also, moral responsibility is directly related to MORAL FREEDOM, which is the ability of a human being not to do what you want, but to do what is morally right.
