Discussing ethics and morals

Reference no: EM133606071

When discussing ethics and morals, a common topic of debate involves whether these concepts are relative (i.e., our ideas regarding right and wrong will vary significantly based upon our upbringing, culture, religious beliefs, etc.) or absolute (i.e., certain actions are absolutely right or wrong, regardless of our upbringing, culture, religious beliefs, etc.).

In your opinion, is all morality relative (i.e., simply an individual's definition of right and wrong), or are certain moral concepts absolute? Should everyone have the right to decide which behaviors are acceptable or unacceptable? Could variances in the manner in which criminal justice professionals view morals and ethics as either absolute or relative impact day-to-day decision-making?
