Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza Morality and the Law Definition of Morality Moral Theories Natural Law Conventional Law Morality and the Law Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza

Definition of Morality A set of rules of right conduct A system used to modify and regulate our behavior It is a quality system in human acts by which we judge them right or wrong, good or bad Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza

Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza Morality … It builds character traits in individuals. It is group-based in the sense that it is a set of shared rules, principles and duties applicable to a group/society and independent of religion. It is influenced by other factors like: Time place Not for Islamic Societies…..Thank GOD  Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza

Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza Moral Theories Each group/society justifies its beliefs in the system (set of rules of right conduct) using theories- Moral Theories. Moral theories seek to introduce a degree of rationality and rigor into moral deliberations. The rationale for our decisions is based on moral theories Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza

Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza Moral Decision Making Moral decisions must ensure: sound reasoning Impartiality These can be achieved through (4) ways: Use of rational intuition- based on moral principles Use of reason to achieve the highest moral good Ability to distinguish between primary and secondary moral principles ( general to more specific) Rational calculation of consequences of action based on the decision Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza

Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza Law Rules of conduct or actions recognized by customs or decreed by a formal body and enforceable by some instrument. We obey two types of laws: Natural and Conventional Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza

Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza Natural Law Unwritten but universal consists of rights: Self-defense (preservation) Individual property Liberty It is a higher form of human law, therefore, independent of human preferences and applies to all rational creatures of nature Before organized human societies, humans existed because of natural law. Civilization is based on it. Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza

Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza Conventional Law It is a system of rules created by and for human beings usually in public deliberations It varies from society to society Its purpose is to: Protect human life, property and liberty. Prescribe a system or punishments for unlawful acts ……… Penal Code Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza

Morality and the Law Morality and the law seem to have a common purpose NOT ALL laws are based on the morality of that society……why? Because morality is a higher and superior system, there is only a small area where the two overlap, and there are many times when the two conflict. Ethical and Social Issues - J.M. Kizza
