Subjective yet utterly dependant on being treated as if it's something approaching objective in order for it to function properly.
E.G. if you believe killing innocent children and eating them is wrong, you are basically going to view it as wrong even when it happens in a society where that's normal. You might view them as ignorant/misguided and thus not judge them as harshly as someone in your own culture, but you will still view the act itself as something best avoided. |
Nah, I view morality as what harms or helps.

Seriously though.. going back to your comments on things not being "justified" by biology. By using that term you are basically imposing your own (admittedly subjective and culturally provincial) form of morality on all human behavior. Merely by suggesting there is something to be "justified." Justified by what standard? |
That isn't an answer to my question

@ elph
Basically you agree that judging a particular social norm relies on you imposing your own social norms on someone who doesn't necessarily share them. And you also see morality as subjective. So by what standard do you actually condemn any cultural or social norm? By your own particular subjective (culturally and socially influenced) set of norms that you happen to abide by? So saying they "aren't justified" is just saying they don't share your particular rule book. |

It also stems from the idea that criminals need to be punished rather than rehabilitated which is also harmful. Realizing what's actually harmful kind of pushes social norms other wise we'd still own slaves because we'd have never questioned it. |
