The Factors of the Morality
Generally, there are two parts in morality. One is sentiment which contains conscience, sympathy, and altruism. The other part is cognition which contains self-control, responsibility, justice, and discernment. First, morality is sensitivity. If one behaves in moral way then, he or she feels content; however, if one overlooks somebody who needs help then, he or she might feels uncomfortable. The psychology professor of Seoul National University, Yonglin-moon, said, “Morality comes from practices.” Mostly, morality is not formed overnight. He said, especially, “adults need a lot of practices to get used to act in moral way.”
Second, the morality is related judgement. The professors claimed that the morality is a method to evaluate the degree of judgement. In statistically, people who have high sense of morality have better judgement, stronger will, and self control.
Third, the professors said that the morality is enough as a standard to evaluate a person and his action. It means most of our actions are shown from moral basis. Lastly, they define morality is internalization. They explained that morality reflects our psychological and social maturity.
