“The opposite of love is not hate‚ it’s indifference.” This quote by Elie Wiesel says a lot. Indifference is dangerous. We have a moral responsibility to help others most of the time. There are moments where it’s okay to be indifferent. This moral responsibility that we have is important to keep our indifference in check.

The Misfit in the story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" is an interesting character. The Misfit was looked by others as if he was the violent character who truly didn’t have any morals‚ but I disagree with that. The Misfit gave the story a lot more meaning.

Should the aesthetic (beauty) dimension replace the moral (goodness) dimension? To start I will give a description as to what I believe is the moral dimension. To explain this I will use an example of physics. We must all realize that the moral dimension is explained through the law of relativity which states that nothing is good or bad‚ big or small until it is related to something else. The law of relativity tells us that everything in our physical world is only made real by its relationship or

“ There are two standard moral codes for interacting with others‚ the widely popular Golden Rule and the lesser known Platinum Rule. The Golden Rule‚ which seems to be almost a moral standard as variations of this rule are found amongst various religions which we sum to “Treat others as you would like to be treated.” The platinum rule is the idea that you should “Treat others as they would like to be treated ”.

The point of instituting laws is to uphold morals; to keep people safe and make sure things are as fair as they can be. In some situations‚ though‚ as demonstrated by real-life historical events like segregation and by characters like Tom Joad and Huckleberry Finn‚ the law itself is not so moral.

This socialization also assists in reaffirming morals that may have been taught at home‚ if not supplying a new set of guidelines for their new environment at school.
