Understanding Moral Norms: Guidelines for Moral Conduct in Society.

What is a moral norm?

A moral norm is how we ought to behave as a matter of morality. It is how we SHOULD act.

A moral norm refers to a standard of behavior or conduct that is widely accepted as morally right or wrong within a particular society, culture or religion. These norms are often derived from shared values, beliefs, and traditions, and they serve as guidelines for individuals to decide what is morally permissible or impermissible in a given situation. Examples of moral norms may include the prohibition of lying, stealing, harming others, and respecting the rights and dignity of every human being regardless of their differences. Adhering to moral norms is considered as one way of promoting a just and harmonious society that fosters human flourishing.
