MRR2 – Will CoVID-19 spark a moral evolution? Eight Possibilities
1. What three concepts remain unclear or difficult for you to understand?
a. The Uncertain Fate of Universalism and Cosmopolitanism
b. The New New Death of Privacy
c. One Health Approach
2. What three significant insights did you gain in studying this text?
a. Morality change over time. A once permissible behavior might
become impermissible when time comes. The categorisation of
good might become a categorisation of bad and vice versa. A
socially unacceptable idea might become an acceptable one in
the future. Morality is not something already ‘existing’ and is waiting
to be discovered. Morality is something that can be reframed
through re-evaluating thoughts and events and putting them in a
moral light. Morality can be changed if a certain individual
manages to make people see or realize what they missed because
of a certain principle they try hard to fix in their minds.
b. Moral revolutions are not merely changes in behavior because
changes in behavior can happen without changes in moral
consciousness. Like for example, a dictator can order to stop
religious activities, ministries from existing, and people from
preaching in a country. He can enforce this by instituting harsh
punishments for those people who will still continue doing the said
activities. This can stop or change the people’s behavior but not
their moral consciousness which says that it is a need and it is their
responsibility to preach the ‘good news’ to other people. There can
only be moral evolution, or moral evolution only happens when
people’s beliefs have undergone change.
