RE: Schools don't teach moral relativism.

Comment comment by PatternsOfChaos on 20 August 2007

Reason CAN lead you to morality - a part of 'reason' is accepting the strictures of the society in which you live. It would be unreasonable to do otherwise.

RE: Schools don't teach moral relativism. by gnifyus :: NR7

What if the particular society you keep or live amongst has become immoral? An example could be violent gangs, certain prison societies and perhaps various religious cults. Though not mainstream, many of those immersed in these subcultures think of them as their whole world. So if you happened, by birth or another reason to find yourself inside one of these societies, would "accepting the strictures" of that society in which you now live lead you to morality?
