The Moral and Spiritual Aspect of Personality
Rai Dela Vega Blanquera
Every person feels good when he senses that he is being trusted, given responsibility to do certain things equal to and in line with his abilities, and held accountable for his actions. The character of a person is the MORAL aspect of personality.
The four major social institutions affecting character development.
These are the: The family, the peer group, the school, and the church.
SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS INFLUENCING MORAL BEHAVIOR
1.FAMILY is the major factor in the moral development of an individual. Through family the child sees a standard picture of behaviour appropriate for varying occasions.
2. The Peer Grouppeople react strongly to social
approval or social acceptance. We all wish to be accepted, especially by our peers. We dress and act like them. We always want to be "in".
3. The Schoolmoral training is incorporated in the
curriculum, especially in the elementary grades and high school. The prevalent disrespect for authority was one of the reasons for emphasis on moral education.
4. The Church
Listening to homilies or attending bible studies may improve if not change the lowering standards of morality today.
MORAL BEHAVIOR
Like a game, life is governed by rules. Without rules there can be no game. Rules define the moves of player. Likewise, human behaviour consists in obedience to rules. There are four approaches in the development of moral behaviour namely the psychoanalytic approach, the social group-approach, the learning theory approach and the cognitive developmental approach.
1. THE PSYCHOANALYTIC APPROACH expresses the idea that whenthe superego dominates the
individual,he or she is good because he
or she has a conscience that tells him or her to be good.
2. THE LEARNING THEORY APPROACH says that we have been trained and
disciplined by our upgrading and by the examples of our parents into behaving the way we should.
3. THE SOCIAL-GROUP APPROACH claims that we have the way we do
because people expect us to behave that way.
4. THE COGNITIVE-DEVELOPMENT APPROACH it emphasizes the importance of
intelligence in moral control. The more intelligent a person is, the stronger he or she is morally.
Moral Code:1. SELF-CONTROL - which regulates our
appetites for sex and food.2. FORTITUDE - which regulates our
emotions, principally of anger.3.JUSTICE - to all which inclines man to
render to each one his due.4.PRUDENCE OR TACT - which
judiciously guides and controls human action.
Morality is synonymous to ethics, the study of what is right and wrong.
