Got Morals?
Evidence suggests that people who have a clear, functioning moral code are more grounded, focused, and content with life.
Not quite sure what that means? A moral code is a consistent set of rules that determines behavior and actions, accepted by a person or by a group of people. Your moral code can be a product of your religion, philosophical views, parents, friends, and/or society.
For centuries, there has been a conflict between what is called moral objectivism and moral relativism.
On one hand, moral objectivism is the view that some system of ethics applies to everyone, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender or creed.
On the other, moral relativism holds that there can be differences in moral judgments across different peoples and their own particular cultures.
Consider these two approaches to morals. Which one sounds right to you?
All of us have the capacity to build a strong moral code and there are more benefits to having one than you might think. To start, sticking to a moral code can foster your sense of integrity, which in turn can help you feel more self-assured.
And yet, a whopping 81% of U.S. adults rate the state of moral values in the U.S. as only fair or poor.
In Halcyon’s upcoming campaign, we will address the deterioration of our world’s moral fabric and seek to provide people the tools to claim ownership of their inherent moral codes.
