Morality is neither divine commands nor universal principle of thought rather practices developed by groups of human beings striving to avoid mutually harmful conflict and promote mutually beneficial cooperation. Comment.

Morals are the enduring beliefs of individuals that determine whether an action is good or bad.

Morality of a person is neither universal nor divine:-

① It differs from person to person depending upon the type of upbringing and experiences.

[eg] A poor child and a rich child may have different aspects of morality for the former stealing may be justified to feed himself.

② It highlights beliefs of a person. This can also vary depending upon environment.

[eg] One brought up in orthodox religion while other in rational educated environment may have different beliefs.

By a proper value system with virtues like tolerance, mercy, the conflicts that the world is facing today like communalism, regionalism, mob violence, can be avoided.
