Morality through Experience
There is a certain and rather common belief that every child's mind begins pure. Initially, their slate is clean; mind void of any corrupt ideas or malicious ways. Morals will later be established they make their own experiences in life, their decisions reflected by the certain morals and values they uphold. I completely agree with this theory: Through life's experiences are morals built. Additionally, values play into the morals which furthermore affect consequent choices. By weighing one value against an another, we can form an aphorism which makes or breaks a decision. For example, when our class took part in the dilemna activity, each group had to incorporate each of their own morals to come to a final conclusion for each scenario. The absolute verdict is determined by boiling all the options down to two, considering the high and lows of each choice and choosing the lesser evil of the two. So yes, morals are not innate, but learned through experience. Through ordeals and trial and error are these morals established; the less important ones trashed for those of higher value and importance.
