"Think many times before you made a decision or an action" you heard it right many times to

your family, collegues or friends. What is the meaning of this? and why they encourage us to think
before we act? these questions are leading to everyone's way of moral judgement.

In our everyday lives we are facing challenge by circumstances how to make decision for
ourselves. For example, you sit for a while after doing house choires and helping your father cleaning
the garden then suddenly your mother saw and told you that you are improbable and unreliable
person. Will you defend yourself or you will remain silence? there's a lot of situation that we need to
make decision. and those situation need to evaluate before we can make judgement or decision.

Our moral judgement can be subjective or objective depending on the situation and person's
involve because we are different to each other. for example a person states that"Yes to abortion,
unless the mother’s life is threatened, it is wrong. Whether you answer subjective or objective on this
one makes a very big difference in how you view morality. This thins is a moral statement, making a
claim about right and wrong. I think most people in our culture would answer this one as rightindicating
their belief that this moral claim is subjective, a matter of opinion. But this is actually an objective
statement, and the correct response to this would be wrong this is because moral statements are facts,
not just only opinion. They reflect the way things ought to be, not simply the way I believe them to be,
or want them to be. Maybe the reason that people would answer this as right is because the culture is
so divided on the morality of abortion there is no societal consensus on this. That might make it seem
like the statement on abortion is more a matter of opinion. There's a lot of moral questions that don’t
have consensus seem like this. Beware and don’t be fooled into thinking that all moral claims are like
that, because they are not. It is because we have moral differences, it does not follow that all moral
claims are subjective, on the level of preferences about right.

Sometimes, people have an interesting way of defending the idea that morality is a subjective
matter of opinion. For example, with the discussion of the morality of the above statement, it is
common to say things like, “if you don’t like abortion, then don’t have one!” this thing can just easily
see how a statement like that can reduces the moral claim that “abortion is wrong,” to strictly a
personal matter, denying that it has any value as truth and knowledges and further denying that the
claim that applies more broadly than just to yourself. Considering what it would be like to approach
other moral claims in that way. Whether someone has abortions, or participates in human trafficking,
is irrelevant, because the issue is so much bigger than you and your personal feelings about it. How
you feel about these things is important, but they do not determine what’s right or wrong. This is
exactly because moral statement are not fundamentally subjective truth. Those are objective truths
that constitute knowledge about the moral thing.

For me Moral judgement must be based on human rights, treat everyone the same and give
everyone the same rights, no matter what or who they are: men, women, different gender roles or
even people of different faith. We must respect everyone.

Going back to the first statement and question above, it states that we need to be very careful
on our decision or judgement. In our recent time and fast changing world, it also demand a strong
need to think quickly and make decision instantly to adopt changes. However, most people often times
make hasty decision and make a wrong move of judgement resulting unnecessary happening and
wether they like it or not they need to face the consequences that may result outcome that is far from
the expected. To avoid this unnecessary outcomes we must obey one of the golden rule "think before
you act" its simple rule that majority of people in modern times forgot to obey.

The book of William Kelly Wright entitled THE OBJECTIVITY OF MORAL JUDGMENTS shows us
that the validity of moral judgement is independent upon peson's own perspective ,opinion culture
and norm and where society they belong accepting societal practices and beliefs. Where the doctrine
that right or wrong or fundamental principles about what is right and wrong hold that moral judgments
are based in intuition or feeling, often in connection with the emotions. Intuitionists support their
theory by pointing to several sources of evidence.
