The Laws of a Religion
The laws of a Religion tell us how our God wants us to act and behave
They show us what our religion sees as right and wrong
When making a moral decision, we look at our Religion’s moral code
It can help us to make the right decision, as we want to follow our religion
Slide 11 - Tekstslide
Gut Instinct
When we are faced with a moral decision, our gut instinct often guides us
We may not fully understand why an action is wrong, but something inside us is telling us it is
This is often referred to as a sixth sense
The right or moral thing may feel natural, while the wrong or ‘immoral’ thing may make you feel uneasy
Slide 12 - Tekstslide
Following the crowd
We all like to feel like we belong
What others think of us can influence us greatly
We can think that whatever the majority is doing must be right
However, we must be careful as this is not always the case
If we are unsure what is right or wrong, looking to the crowd or other people to see what they are doing isn't always a good idea
Slide 13 - Tekstslide
Obeying Orders
Sometimes we are told by others what to do.Instead of deciding for ourselves what is right or wrong, we follow the orders of others
If we are told to do something, we might think it’s definitely the moral thing to do, sometimes it is not easy to follow orders.
If we have a difficult moral decision to make, it might be easier to obey and do what others tell us, but we should ask ourselves if the orders we are being given are right or moral
Often people can have a combination of these reasons for deciding what is morally right
