morals

In class we have been discussing a lot about being moral. We used the example about the gangsters chasing your friend and what you would tell them. If you had good morals then you would tell the gangsters the real way that your friend went because if you told them another way then that would not be being moral because that would be considered lying. However in a situation like that i think you would have to take the lesser of the 2 evils. Even though you wouldnt be telling the gangsters the truth, you would be saving a life so the better thing to do would be to lie to the gangsters, however according to kant that would be considered not being moral. I think that yoour morals depend on what your beliefs are and how you were raised. I think that i have good morals because i know whats right from whats wrong, but a person might find killing animals fun, and then think its the right thing to do so therefore they think that they have good morals, when in my mind i just think that they are really messed up in the head. Depending on where you were raised, who raised you and what you believe in i think that will decide whether you have good morals. But i dont agree with kant when he says that the only way you'll have good morals is if you dont lie.
