yo momma

A detailed Summary of yo momma

Lately, in our politically correct world, it has become fashionable to deride traditional values. It has been particularly popular to bash the notion of absolute morality, that we should not judge others but rather accept them for "who they are". There seems to be tendency to say: "You can't say he/she/it is right or wrong for what they are doing, morality is relative!" My general reaction to this is: "Are you just brain dead or just on crack?"

Now I am no ranting conservative spouting mish-mash about how the world is going to hell and how we should return to the "good old days" when Judeo-Christian values ruled. Yeah, right. And maybe we should just make non-whites ride at the back of the bus and burn homosexual witches at the stake. I don't think so.

Those of you who know me know that I am far from that. I consider myself a liberal. But I cannot subscribe to the notion that morality is relative. Let consider this for a second. Our system of laws, indeed, the order on which our society is based on, is founded a set of commonly held and understood values, without which there would be anarchy. Imagine this, seeing as how laws are based tacitly on the notion of right and wrong, if morality was relative, there would be no grounds

So there has to be some notion of shared morality, i.e. some common ground for understanding what morality is. The objective of this essay is to attempt to define a new basis for understanding morality as it pertains to society and form the common ground for resolving the seeming disparity between "different" versions of morality amongst different races/religions/groups/etc.

Other moral transgressions may also be examined, and explained in this manner. Stealing, for example, is unacceptable when it is done to your neighbor, but it's "justified" when warring nations plunder or spy on one another. The societal aspect plays a large role in the determination of morality. Depending on the person or community's view on who is "in", the moralistic transformations that modify our fundamental morals to surface, everyday moral judgements change.

I believe that all moralistic statements can be understood in this context, that we shared a common basis and motivation for morality. Morality as we understand it can be reduced to simplified statements (the simple constructs) that are easily understood by all peoples, regardless of race/creed/religion/culture. The transformations that we apply to the fundamental morals are what create the supposed differences.

The fundamental morality is a shared experience, common across all cultures and people. One example of a fundamental moral might be "Thou shalt not kill others". The unspoken portion of the above moral i
