Assignment #5

After I read article about making a good moral choice, I believe everyone makes judgments, whether or not consider as concience. People make judgments based on how they look, how they dress, how they act. We all do it. When we lock our doors while driving through a neighborhood, when we quicken our pace when we see someone approaching, when we grab our kids hands in the mall to make sure they are safe. We judge our friends & their choices, even when you try not to take sides, you judge in your mind. If someone killed your best friend, you would judge him or her, if you did not; you would be lying to yourself. You would not be able to say, I cannot judge the moral choices of someone else, and you would judge them very wrong. So it can be useful & helpful, sometimes we judge before we know all the facts, but we are usually trying to protect ourselves, and that cannot be a bad thing. The only problem is that a Christian will judge by actions and morals and complete it with "you will go to hell". My actions of being pagan may go against your belief, and you judge me on it and tell me "you will go to hell" simply is NOT your place. I think its best to say that we can have opinions on others actions and morals...but we cannot judge. This resource relates to our text because it was explain a specific point about moral choice. A moral choice is making a choice based on your morals, or, more globally, "doing the right thing" even if you might make more money or be more popular by choosing the less moral path.

4. In a separate paragraph, tell me how many points you believe your efforts deserve--in argument form! For example:
Arguable issue: whether or not this post deserves points...if yes, how many?
Conclusion: this post deserves 25 points
Premises: this post deserves 25 points because:
1. I found a good resource that it related to the rule of a moral choice in the textbook.
2. It explains the relevance of an article to the chapter in our text.
