Belief sytem and morality and how they go hand in hand

             Not one person knows what morality is. It is just a word we gave to group a hole list of made
up princapals together. Our belief structure is where we get our vision of morality. The belief
structure is part opinion and part animal instinct.
                Human's are animals. Yes they may have evolved, but they still have nature's instincts at
heart. People come from all differant backgrounds and from all kinds of parents yet the majority
know what's right from wrong. Some of the guidelines come from the laws that shape our
communities but the other percentage of what we do comes from something we're born
with.Human beings know to love their young and to raise thier children. Mother's insincts to
nurture thier babies doesn't have to be taught.
                Although man and women know how to raise thier familie's society has provided stricter and
more educated instructions. Human's know that murdering one another is wrong. They also
know that stealing is wrong. Yet both of these beliefs can easily be challenged by morality. So
that woman may have killed that man. That man beat her every day. Now what does human
think of that? Thiere moralitites influence the way they feel towards a crime and the right
punishment they feel fit for the prosecuter. That boy stole that box of macoroni to feed his little
brother and sister because they couldn't make it to the shelter in time. Automatically human
instincts kick in and challenge our morality. In those two instances our belief system crumbles to
our morality. Education plays a huge role in the evolution of our idea of morality and the
structure of our beliefs.
