Are Morals Right Or Wrong

Morals are the beliefs of what is right or wrong that is instinctual. Many stories and novels we have read have shown the characters with morals. Morals are brought up by the individuals influenced by society. How we as humans manipulate those morals to our preferences is the affected relationship between individuals and society.

Morals are instinctual and it is what people to believe what is right or wrong. Morals are there when we are born “But just as a syntax is nothing until words are built upon it, so too is a sense of right and wrong useless until someone teaches you how to apply it”(What Makes Us Moral, Jeffrey Kluger). This means that people are born with morals but other people have to teach us how to use it correctly. Morals

People have morals because “When one of the animals is not hungry or is reluctant to work, the partner may lend encouragement”(Frans de Waal; Moral Behavior in Animals). In this article chimpanzee’s are being experimented on their morals. These animals know what the right thing to do is, to help one another. There morals told them to do the correct action. Burning Bright is a song that also deals with people’s morals. Morals tell us what is right or wrong because “There’s nothing ever wrong, but nothing’s ever right”(Burning Bright, Shinedown).

Montague’s morals were that Romeo did the right thing of killing Tybalt because he was already dead. Prince’s morals were that Romeo was in fault but his fault was not worth killing Romeo. An article Social Psychology, is an article where the author mentions how morals can sway the actions of people. When people have an attitude towards a certain belief, that can sway their actions. Morals have swayed people’s actions because in the article it states that “People often bring their attitudes into line with their actions” (Why do our actions affect our attitudes,495).
