Moral Perspective in Papua New Guinea

 Introduction: Identifying Moral Issues

Morality is seen in many aspects in Papua New Guinea as breaking down of human rules. Morality is the breaking down of human behaviors evident in the rates of gender-based violence, corruption, and an unaccountable political leadership. These issues have eroded the trust in the government and other institutions in Papua New Guinea.

 

Many people have are not respecting themselves and others of their lives. Young people are into the habit of drinking home brew beer which causes lots of unrest in the community. Some of these young people are too young to consume drinking beer. Underage drinking home brewed beer is very common in Papua New Guinea.

 

Another factor that contributes towards bed moral behavior is the consumption of marijuana smoke. In the Highlands of Papua New Guinea the marijuana drug can grow wildly. The highlander can smoke at any time whenever they feel like. Today the marijuana drug is trafficking from the highlands to the coastal provinces. Many young people from the coast they smoke drug like mad man without thinking about the side effects of human life and health.

Wife bashing is one of the frequent moral issues where we have in Papua New Guinea where there is no respect for women. Man is using their wives as their tool to play around with. They can act cowardly to their wives to the way they feel like. These have brought down to the table of addressing this issue at the wider level as soon as possible. Law enforcement in Papua New Guinea is weak as ever.

 

Principles of Morality in Defined

Morality is the quality of being accord with standard of right or good conduct or a system of idea that fall in to those same categories. Recognition of the distinction between good and evil or between right and wrong, respect for and obedience to the result of right conduct, the mantel deposition or characteristics of behavior in manner intend to produce morally good result. We often here words about religious morality or the phrase Christian morality in society. Item that fall in to the morality sound category are quality like good, goodness, rightness, virtue and righteousness. When talking about a moral quality involving a course or action, we think of athics.To find morality, a person will use the rule or habits with regard to right and wrong he or she followed. It is a complex system of general principle and particular judgment based on culture, religious and philosophical concepts and beliefs, Culture and or group regulate and generalized these concepts, thus regulating behavior. When someone conform to the codification, you concede this person to be moral. And yet, the nation of how we ought to behave and the reality of how we behave are varied and real morality behaves in accordance with one's perception of moral often doctrine or moral duties that support the quality of an action which render its good is moral. And so, the system of standard use to produce honest, decent, and ethics result are considered moral which should be followed. The word carried the concept of moral standard, with regard to behavior, moral responsibility, and referring to our conscience, and identity, or one who is capable of right or wrong action. The common synonyms include ethics, principle virtue and goodness. Morality has become a complication issue in the multi-culture word we live in today. And so, let’s explore the morality is, how it affects our behavior, our conscience, our society and our ultimate destiny.

 

Human Moral Behavior

Moral describes the principle that govern our behavior. And with this out these principle in place society cannot survive for long. In today world, morality is frequently thought of us belonging to a particular religious point of view but by definition we see that this is not a case. Everyone adheres to a moral doctrine of same kind. Moral as it relates to our behavior is important on three levels. Renowed think scholar and author C.S Lewise defined them as:(1) To ensure fair play and hominy between individual:(2) To help make us good people in order to have good society:(3) To keep us in good relationship with the power that create us. Base on this definition it’s clear that our believe is critical to our moral behaviors. The morality behavior of people is critical, because majority of the world population are believed in GOD, or at least in a god, the question of creation, as the theory of origins, is definite hotly debate in today society. Everyday decision, and the choice is a directed by conscience. Again, we must decide for our self where the conscience originates. Many people hold to idea that the conscience is a matter for our heart, that concepts of right or wrong, and fairness are “programmed "in each of us. This is in keeping with writing of Paul the apostle, who print out that event those who do not believe in GOD frequently.

 

Summary of Moral Encounters in Papua New Guinea

A recent report in psychology today concludes; the most may be religious commitment. People who consider them self every religious where least likely to report declaring their friend, having extra morality affairs, cheating on their expense accounts, or even parking illegally. Based on this finding, what we believe about the creation has a decide effect on our moral thinking and our behavior. And so, without believe in creation, the only option that seems to be is not moral standard we make up for our self. Until and unless we live in a dictatorial society, we are free to choose our own personal moral codes. Base on this definition it’s clear that our believe are critical to our behaviors. And different philosopher set a social rule, customs traditions believe, or practice which specify proper acceptable form of conduct, and also a set of personal guiding nation of how to behave, heather respectable or not. They also advise us about proper acceptable form of conduct. And also, mental disposition or characteristics of behavior in a manner indention to produce morally good result. Morality has become complicated issue in the multicultural world we live in today. And many people hold to the idea that the conscience is matter for our heart, that concept of right wrong, and fairness are “programmed "in each of us. This is keeping writing of the apostle who print out that even those who do not believe in GOD frequently. The different philosophy and also apostle which they come up with different doctrine idea or rules that relate to our behavior is important, and some time they come up with same idea in which people are not really know how decide what is effect on our moral thinking and our behavior. Base on this definition we discuss about the right and wrong which in human characteristics or behavior hoe people act on this earth to produce morally good result in their society we must choose our own moral code we live in today society. The moral is become a very complicated in todays life which is how the people behave in there dearly life to survive.They are keeping their behaviors which they adopt in todays life style or society to carry on for there way how they behaves.
