Preliminary Theories


A. Morally good under all circumstances


SURFING THE INTERNET


Surfing the Internet is considered morally good under all circumstances If you surf the net, it doesn’t mean that you are focusing only to the social network like Facebook, Twitter and much more. Surfing the net is like going to library, I mean searching for your assignment or research work. In library, we search books through reading and getting some good ideas about our research, but sometimes we are not satisfied for it. In the Internet, we browse the net to find out more satisfying ideas that can fill up what's bothering in our curious minds. In net, you can find out many good and satisfying answers in our research for a specific topic. And also, while surfing the net, you can learn anything.



B. Morally bad under all circumstances


PORNOGRAPHY

 Pornography is considered morally bad under all circumstances. Morally bad especially for minors and for people who doesn’t have a sense of responsibility. I myself visit some Porn site and I observed that there are no precautions or warnings to web users of this kind. Not all people surfing the net are adults, there are also Children and teens which is under 18 years old. Children and teens that are exposed to pornography have these images etched in their memories for the rest of their lives. These images can be triggered and can surface without warning, leaving the potential for numerous problems in future life. Internet pornography is often the first exposure that children and teens have to sexual 





C. Morally good/bad under all circumstances 


 SOFTWARE PIRACY


Software Piracy is considered good/bad under all circumstances. Copying asoftware using  is very easy but if you are the owner of that software and they just copied it without authorization? Are you happy? Of course not!  But in every rule, there is always an exemption. In school, if you have a laboratory session and you need to install a software, of course you will all not buy that software instead sharing the software to install is good.

  7. It depends on how we understand a thing(Morally good/bad)...according to what I've read (http://www.overcomingbias.com/2011/07/beware-morality-porn.html )watching porn is not objectively or inherently wrong. Porn has been around for thousands of years and, if we survive that long as a species, will be around for thousands more, whether we like it or not. Behaving as though porn is real might be and can be wrong. But people need to take responsibility for their own choices, actions and the consequences thereof. Porn doesn't screw people. People screw people.

    Nice One ^^

  8. haha I dont think surfing the net is morally good at all times. Your example is to general to consider because as you surf the net doesn't mean you are already in a right way. People don't think the same way, one might surf to do important thnigs like research, gathering data, etc. and other might do malicious things e.g. watching porn, to plagiarize, etc..

  9. I also agree with what reina,mon and mac...We can just determine an action if it is morally good/bad based on one's purpose or the benefit for us as a user.

  12. We are already old enough to know what is right and wrong.
    As they've said, it really depends on the purpose.
