Summary of a Satisfactory Moral Theory1
The philosophy behind morality has a fascinating and rich history. Many different
scholars with diverse perspectives are introducing certain theories that are both repelling and
appealing to the readers who are thoughtful towards approaching the subject. Thus, the
cognitive pattern of development has lowered the barrier amongst psychology that is
development and philosophy. This has further erased the fence amongst the ethical and stages
of moral theory. Pursuit of any empirical base for demolishing ethical relativism has also
dominated an entire line of investigation all the way (Lapsley, 2016). In this paper, Rachel
have described the values and ethics behind morality and how there is reason behind every
moral formed by human beings. Humans are rational being and do everything for purposes.
That’s how every morals also have some purpose behind it mostly out of their own interest.
This is the purpose of this paper along with analyzing how moral theories are reasonable and
satisfactory.
Satisfactory theories can be realistic towards where humans fall into the category of
existence. Dinosaurs have proved that on Earth, life has evolved slowly and most
appropriately according the guidelines of natural selections. According to (Yanchar and Slife
2017), some also had a notion that the entire universe was designed for their own benefits.
Thus, when they were developing the theories of wrong or right, their own interests as
considered to be the ultimate one of objective values.
Humans have grown as rational beings and for that, they have the capability to
consider few facts as logic for behaving in a way. According to (Schwartz, 2016), if there
were actions, which help to meet human needs and satisfy their desires, it would have
promoted human interest. Like other animals, human beings also work according to inner
instincts. I strongly agree to this because most of the reasons behind doing our deeds are our
desires that ultimately gives rise to ethics. Now, there is also a way for being inconsistent in
this when interest of a community is put before interests of the other. For example, Racism is

such phenomena that is an offence against morality because that is something against reason.
To be precise racism does not have any reason in itself so it can be considered to be against
morality of the ethics.
According to (Whitley and Kite, 2016), the psychology of discrimination and
prejudice have always provided a compelling and comprehensive overview of what the
theories of psychology and research have to say in regards to nature, causes and
discrimination. The idea behind promoting the interest of people who are alike is only
appealing when used as a refute bigotry. I agree that to create some protocols and norms
humans should treat others the way they deserve otherwise it would have been a vague world.
If an individual keeps on treating someone good even if they have done wrong to him or her
they are making the opposite person to take them as granted and on the other hand when they
treat someone bad even if the opposite ones have treated them in good way then the reverse
happens. This proves the rationality of human minds and how doing things consciously is
important for making better choices.
Certainly, I agree that human beings should be moving by a concern for others that is
impartial. For example. A mother cares for her children and does not promotes that interest
because she can help. Similarly, a man’s loyalty for his companions develops because he
wants to. Only a person who is a philosophical fool will want to eliminate such emotions
from life. It is agreeable that behind every action there is a purpose or motive promoting that
action (Cuervo-Cazzura and Narula, 2015). As it is said, human minds are rational with the
ability to make choices so every motive done is thoughtful and done by will.
The doctrine to universal happiness is ultimate strategy of a utilitarian society. The
plausible way for this kind neither exclusively stresses on motives particularly nor acts upon
rules wholly. This theory in nature because the ultimate goal of this theory is to maximize
