-Morals are more categorical because they come from individuals while ethics are conditional
-Always change because of the situation of the scenario, varies per person
-Depending on where you live there is a common sense of morals so people know how to act, morals are similar, ethics could change based on who you are
-Do you guys think there is a certain situation where you could (make sense to) go against your morals or ethics?
-You can’t steer away from your morals but your ethics change wherever you are
-Maslow's hierarchy of needs, morals are not essential
-Need to distinguish difference between morals and ethics
-Morals are conditional (relates it to cheating on tests)
-If you think about something you are as guilty you are doing it
-A couple of people did most of the talking
-Everyone does immoral things until you are stopped
-Unethical behaviors lead to more unethical behaviors
I thought our socratic seminars were great starting points for this year. There is definitely room to grow. I think as our class becomes more comfortable with each other, more people will be willing to contribute and participate in the discussions. Today, I felt like only a few people did most of the talking, while others were silent most of the time and only spoke up once or twice. For a meaningful discussion, I believe it is important for each person to participate equally (for the most part). I thought the first socratic group's discussion was interesting and I found it hard not to jump in with my own comments. It was interesting to hear everyone's opinions on morals and ethics. After all, everyone has their own morals and ethics. I wish their discussion had gone more in depth with a specific question. I felt their discussion skimmed the surface and was repetitive at times. Overall, great start!
