What is Morality?
  • Morality relates to the principles of right and wrong
  • Morality is to do with right or wrong, regardless of whether the                     ‘right’ action/choice is seen as good or bad
  • Many people see morality as ‘personal’, meaning that what one             person considers ‘right’, another may consider ‘wrong’
  • There are usually accepted standards of what is right and wrong              within a society
  • Different cultures and religions often have different beliefs on               what’s right and wrong

Slide 10 - Slide

                   People can be:
                                      - Moral
                                      - Immoral
                                      - Amoral

Slide 11 - Slide

Moral People:
● People who behave morally make the world a better place for other people to live in 
Examples of moral behaviour:
● Respecting others
● Recycling
● Being honest
● Keeping a promise/secret

Slide 12 - Slide

Immoral People
● People who carry out immoral actions influence society and cause people to suffer as a consequence
Examples of immoral behaviour:
● Smoking in a public place
● Driving unsafely
● Littering
● Telling lies, stealing
● Breaking the law

Slide 13 - Slide

Ammoral People
People who are amoral lack a sense of morality
  • They are unconcerned with the ‘rightness’                                                                   or 'wrongness’ of something
  • Young children/infants would be considered amoral, as they do not yet have the understanding of what is right and wrong
  • Selfish people would also be considered amoral, as they only care about themselves, they aren’t concerned about what consequences their action may have on society 

Slide 14 - Slide

What Influences Morality?

Slide 15 - Mind map

Factors that Influence Morality
  • Religion- Church, sacred texts, etc.
  • Family- Parents, Siblings etc.
  • Media- Television, Radio, News articles, etc.
  • Friends/School- Teachers, Books, Peers, etc.
  • Social Media- Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, etc. 
  • Music- Different genres and artists etc.

Slide 16 - Slide

Religion
Religion can influence our morality
  • By going to church/reading the bible, we are being thought our                   religion’s morals
  • Through this we develop our own morals by deciding which ones to follow
  • If your religion says something is bad, you are more likely to also believe         it is bad and avoid it
  • Similarly, if your religion says something is right, you are likely to aim to  do   such actions, as you will believe they are the right thing to do

Slide 17 - Slide

Family
  • Your parents/guardians are responsible for shaping you as a person
  • Your family are the people who raise you telling you what is right and wrong
  • They pass on their own morals to you, which later on in life you can decide whether to follow or not
  • Your siblings/cousins also influence your morals, as you might be used to seeing them do a certain thing and also instinctively do it, without considering the consequences

Slide 18 - Slide

School/Friends
  • At school your mentors such as teachers may influence your morality

  • Your peers, in school and outside of school also influence you, similarly to the way your siblings and cousins do


Slide 19 - Slide

School/Friends
  • If you look up to a specific teacher, you may do what they believe is moral as to do right in their eyes

  • You are also likely to share morals with your peers and simultaneously take some of theirs, just by spending a lot of time with each other

Slide 20 - Slide

As you surf the internet or watch the television, you are constantly absorbing information and being influenced by the people who put it there

Slide 21 - Slide

Media/Social Media

When you watch a documentary for example, of a zoo, it may be portrayed as a bad zoo that is being very harmful to the animals
● While this may not be exactly accurate you naturally begin to believe             this and from that may decide that zoos are in fact morally wrong
● You may then share that video on your social media, which will                         further influence other peoples’ morals also

Slide 22 - Slide
