territorial morality
as predominantly negative and proscriptive: it defines a person's territory, including his or her property and dependents, which is not to be damaged or interfered with. Apart from these proscriptions, territorial morality is permissive, allowing the individual whatever behavior does not interfere with the territory of another.
tribal morality is prescriptive, imposing the norms of the collective on the individual. These norms will be arbitrary, culturally dependent and 'flexible', whereas territorial morality aims at rules which are universal and absolute, such as Kant's 'categorical imperative' and Geisler's graded absolutism. Green relates the development of territorial morality to the rise of the concept of private property, and the ascendancy of contract over statu
2. differntiate between in group and out group. provide examples in your explanation
Some observers hold that individuals apply distinct sets of moral rules to people depending on their membership of an "in-group" (the individual and those they believe to be of the same culture or race) or an "out-group" (people not entitled to be treated according to the same rules). Some biologists, anthropologists and evolutionary psychologists believe this in-group/out-group discrimination has evolved because it enhances group survival. This belief has been confirmed by simple computational models of evolution.[11] In simulations this discrimination can result in both unexpected cooperation towards the in-group and irrational hostility towards the out-group.[12] Gary R. Johnson and V.S. Falger have argued that nationalism and patriotism are forms of this in-group/out-group boundary. Jonathan Haidt has noted[13] that experimental observation indicating an in-group criterion provides one moral foundation substantially used by conservatives, but far less so by liberals.
5. explain why moral is important in life?
Moral values help in improving behavior, instilling respect and enhancing relationships with others. Knowing what is right or wrong is an important element in life that shapes the character on an individual. Good moral values allows a person to make the right decisions and improve their interactions with other people.
Every individual understands that life is important hence he or she needs moral values, which act as guiding principles. Children are taught to show respect to elders and other people. Moral values are a reflection of an individual character and spirituality. Parents strive to instill these values in children because they tend to learn by observing what other people do.
Respecting the elders, neighbors, the sick and other people within society helps to enhance relationships. As people get older, they need care and assistance where possible. Good relationships help to create a good coexistence between people. In workplaces, people need to learn how to relate with both juniors and seniors. Being honest helps a person to be recognized and achieve his or her goals in work easily.
Moral values have an important role in the stability of marriages and families. Partners should be truthful to one another and solve problems wisely to avoid a divorce. Standing firm on what is right no matter the situation is always a courageous decision that improves the quality of life.
