Study Notes
SOCSCI 1110: Moral Landscape
- Pluralism refers to the coexistence of multiple things, like nations, groups, opinions, principles, beliefs, and lifestyles.
- A core principle of pluralism is respect for diversity.
- Moral Pluralism suggests that there are various ethical principles and theories that can conflict yet deserve respect.
- Moral pluralism encourages an open-minded approach to differing moral views, acknowledging the complexity of moral issues and the absence of a single definitive answer.
- Moral pluralism stands in contrast to moral absolutism (one right answer) and moral relativism (no wrong answer).
- Pluralism in Religion acknowledges religious differences and the diverse rights to worship, believe, practice, and join communities, including the right to abstain.
- Pluralism in politics respects diverse political views, promoting equality and social justice.
- Moral judgments assess the goodness or badness, rightness or wrongness of actions, behaviors, or people through logical reasoning.
- Moral realism believes in objective moral truths independent of human opinion.
- Moral anti-realism rejects the existence of objective moral truths, sometimes labeling them as subjective or conventional.
- Moral relativism contends that moral judgments depend entirely on cultural context.
- Moral judgments can be examined to determine their objectivity based on their independence from the judge's feelings and opinions.
Ethical Decision-Making
- A 7-step guide for ethical decision-making involves stating the problem, checking the facts, identifying relevant factors, listing options, testing the options with different criteria, choosing an option, and reviewing the process.
- This methodology includes evaluating the potential harms, benefits, legal defensibility, and implications for stakeholders from various viewpoints to promote more informed decision-making.
- Consideration of personal values, professional codes, organizational policies, and external feedback are important components of ethical decision-making.
- It's crucial to understand how to minimize the likelihood of future similar dilemmas emerging.
Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development
- Kohlberg's Theory outlines 6 stages of moral development in terms of three levels.
- The stages progress from a focus on external rules and rewards (preconventional) to internalized moral principles (postconventional).
- Level 1, preconventional (ages 3-7), emphasizes avoiding punishment and satisfying self-interest.
- Level 2, conventional (ages 8-13), prioritizes social rules and maintaining social order.
- Level 3, postconventional (adulthood), incorporates abstract moral principles and personal values.
- The theory is criticized for its potential biases and reliance on hypothetical scenarios.
