" Morals and rights are not naturally found within people as it requires an entire society to support them backed by social and governmental norms"
If they were not naturally found in people then they would not be found in human society at all. This is an existence which moves by cause and effect. Humans would not do what is not in their nature to do, that would simply be impossible. Humans are naturally social animals, it is in their nature to form societies, to make laws and to uphold morals and rights.
I think the misunderstanding is on the natural state of humans. Humans are by nature good, they are evil, they are intelligent, they are ignorant and they are also naturally social animals. That is where societal ethic, laws, rights and morality originate from. As if there was no base within the biological make up of humans then there would nothing to cause that effect.
Things do not simply happen in an existence ruled by cause and effect.
My point is not about morals and their occurrence in the collective human species. It is the fact that morals are subjective and the ones we have now are purely subjective and based on society yet taught as a universal truth.
There was a point in history were slavery was just, looting was ethical, killing for simple revenge was normal, violence was glorified as in Rome and beating one's wife was alright with everyone.
Morals do not occur naturally int he state we have them. Perhaps I am not specifying this correctly because I know I often leave out details.
No 2 people on the other side of the world are going to have the same ethics and morals the other have because they are prone to individual acceptance and understanding. Kids without parenting grow up with distorted senses of right and wrong because they are not
taught they accepted norms of right and wrong.
Morals have evolved not because of human understanding but because of mankind's ability to socialize and form communities. Making ethics and morals dictated and not inertly found in the state we have now.
Please tell me this makes sense, because I am running out of words to describe my position :thud:
