but slightly different things. Some sources refer to morality plays as a “religious sermon” acted out. Other sources refer to them as a moral lesson for the good of every person. It seems that morality plays were made to show good vs. evil as well as to teach a spiritual lesson. Everyman seems to be solely a religious play including religious lessons and morals‚ and it even has the character of God. But it can also be a positive story for someone who believes in a different religion or no religion

Sommer’s observations conceptually and culturally however‚ “Today’s young people live in a moral haze”‚ and that they are incapable of making even one confident moral judgment. I believe is somewhat accurate because a lot of children today are in a haze. Many people do not have their morals in order or priorities in order. Some young people do not have confidence in their self that is why there are a lot of young children following other

action that has no inherent moral implications. Since the humanist moral code is completely unencumbered with issues like one’s "closeness to God‚" it includes no such prohibitions against physical pleasure. If two adults willfully consent to have sex‚ whose rights are being violated? Who are they hurting? Themselves‚ by risking STD transmission? This is a risk they’ve acknowledged‚ accepted and‚ hopefully‚ minimized‚ by using protection. My point is that sex is not a moral choice. The only possible

“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.

We have a moral responsibility to help right the wrongs in the world but to an extent. There are situations where it is acceptable to be indifferent. For example‚ a part in the

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.

I don’t think he cared about killing people because he didn’t care about life itself
