In terms of morality, which do you believe is more important -- the intention of an action, or the consequences of an action?
umka2103 [35]

In conclusion, a person's intentions are more important than the action's effects when determining wrongness. Since a moral judgment should be immune to luck, and effects are more affected by luck than intentions, the injustice of moral luck clearly leads to this conclusion.

Morality refers to the set of requirements that allow human beings to stay cooperatively in agencies. it's what societies determine to be “right” and “suited.” once in a while, appearing in a moral way manner individuals should sacrifice their own short-time period pursuits to advantage society.

Morality is the same old of society used to determine what is proper or incorrect conduct. An example of morality is the belief by a person that it is incorrect to take what would not belong to them, even though no person would understand.

Ethics and morals relate to “right” and “incorrect” conduct. whilst they are every so often used interchangeably, they are special: ethics seek advice from policies supplied by an outside supply, e.g., codes of conduct in workplaces or principles in religions. Morals refer to a man or woman's personal principles regarding right and wrong.
