3 Norms of Morality

1) Conscience is the practical judgment of reason on the rightness or wrongness of a moral act to be done if it’s right or to be avoided if wrong. It has primary and secondary moral principles, in which it has to be acted upon, which is to do good and avoid evil. Conscience requires practical application.Since morality is not only about knowing the good and the bad but also to be better and to be responsive to the good, man ought to practice his rightful conscience. This is done through prudence. Since prudence is the habitual exercise of our rightful conscience, we develop virtues.
Dignity of man is the personal nature of man. The nature of man is that he has intellect and will. He also possesses freedom and self-dispositions of his decisions. Hence, he can make decisions on his own. He has an ethical and moral nature. He has a body and has consciousness. The human body will objectively speak for itself for man to discover using his reason. Each man has a personal history. Since we have personal history we are subjected to time and space. The dignity of man remains the same as we grow. The dignity of man remains intact. Because of the dignity of man, there is equality amongst men. There’s equality because there’s commonality among them. There’s equality because one sees the other person as man. Equality is the minimum requirement of man to another man.
