The first point states that humans are born withouta knowledge of

what is right and wrong. We are born without knowledge of anything. We

are meant to be taught the moral way to mold our character. The life of the
individual has meaning only insofar as it aids in making the life of every
living thing nobler and more beautiful (Albert Einstein, N.D,). I have
realized that we do not have knowledge about everything. We choose to be
good or to be evil. We choose to be moral or to be immoral. We need an
education that teaches us critical thinking that encourages the development
of mature moral values. (Pope Francis, N.D.). We must be educated to learn
how to develop our moral values. It helps how we mold our character and
become moral. Some people tend to educate us in a wrong way. As we get
older we teach our selves how to become a moral person The second
point state that some people misinterpreted being evil as being good. There
are times we are confused. We do bad act and labeled it as good act
because that how we see it. One that confound good and evil is an enemy
to good(Edmund Burke, N.D.). I learned that no matter how small it is, if
you have done an evil act you might as well as evil. Doing evil deed for good
purpose is still evil. No matter how you see it evil act is evil act and what is
good is good. Right is right, even if nobody does it. Wrong is wrong even if
everybody is wrong about it..(G. K. Chesterton). No matter how good it is
in your point of view, if you do an evil act it is always labeled as evil. If you
do good act, and other people see it as a bad act you still good and not
being evil. I should do good act even if other people see it as a bad act,
because that how I see being moral is. I should ignore the ignorance of
other people towards what I do. I will make sure that I do not confused evil
act as a good act.
My third point state that there are times people are just being morally
good for other peoples praise, which is not right. Being morally good means
you have to act good with an intention also being good. If you are doing
good act just to seek attention from others you are not being moral.
Feeling good about yourself is not the same thing as doing good. Good
policy is more important than good feelings.(Theodore Dalrymple, N.D.). I
have realized that we should do good act for good intention and not for
attention. If we are to be choosing between being good and to gain
popularity, we should choose to become good instead to become popular.
There is only one reason to do the right thing (because it is the right thing
to do), everything else is an agenda.(R.A. Delmonico). We should do the
right course of action for good intention because it is what being moral is.
We should not do good things and expect to have something good in return
will happen, we should do the right thing regardless of what happens next.
 For the first objection I state that From the moment humans are
born they already have a sense of what is right and wrong. Humans are just
pretentious to escape the fact that they have commit bad acts. Humans
have a sense of morality from the moment they are born. For example kids
that have committed a bad act are sometimes admit that it is their fault
because they know what is right. There are also times that kids do not
admit that it is their fault because they know that it is bad and they dont
want to get scolded. Second
objection states that people did not misinterpret being evil as being good,
people know what they are doing it deliberately. It is hard to believe that
moral people did not recognize that what they do is an evil action. For
example a man found a gadget in the park, he look for the owner to return
the gadget but in return he is expecting something good in return. Another
example is when a basketball player hurt another player, he is pretending
that it was not his intention but in reality he did it on purpose. Some of the
people are just pretending that they did not have anything bad but in reality
they did. Third
objection state that it is not wrong to do morally good for the sake of what
others think. Even though their intention was not good it is not also bad and
they do morally good actions which are labeled as good. For example it does
not matter how others think if youre helping a poor person and taking
picture out of it, youre still helping him. Another example is it does not
matter what intention you have when you help your struggling classmate. It
does not matter what intention you have as long as you help you can be a
moral person. In the first objection I
answer that human are born without any knowledge who they are and what
should they do. Humans do not know what are they doing unless they are
educated. For example a child do not know what he is doing is good until
you told him, a child should learn from adults who are morally good.
Another example is bad people always do bad things that is why they have
to be caught and taught about moral values and how to be morally good.
In second objection I answer that there are times
people are just pretending that they do not know what they are doing is an
evil act. There are times that they dont pretend; they truly do not know
what they doing is bad because in their perspective what they are doing is
right. For example a person hurt another person for the sake of self defense.
Another example is when a person get the bag of another person instead of
his bag, he mistaken his bag for another. They do not know that they
already doing evil act and they are not pretending.
In the third objection I answer that doing good act but
having bad intention is not a morally good act. Doing well for yourself is
not the same thing as doing good(Ernest Hemingway). For example you
must help others not for other reason you must have a good Intention.
The
moment we are born we are pure and not tainted in evilness; we must be
guided to become a moral person. We must be educated and must be teach
values to mold our character and to become moral. As being moral we
should not be confused of what is right and what is wrong. If we are to be
choosing between right and wrong, between good or evil, we must choose
right and good because it is war being moral means. We must be good our
self and not to seek for other peoples attention.
 The Essence of being moral

Good moral values make a man to have a good moral character.

Having good moral character makes you a good man. Having a good moral
character and good moral values comes with different effects. It may either
lead into advantageous effect in humans life in a sense that he wants to
succeed. Having good moral value may also give negative statements that
can create misunderstanding.

We are all born as empty vessel which can be shaped by moral

values(Jerry Springer, ND). Human are born without the knowledge of
what is right and wrong. Human child are doing things without knowing
whether it is good or bad thing. For example a kid broke the mirror in their
house without knowing that it is wrong but he did it because on his
perspective it is fun and right. Another example is children always play on
their food and again they did know that they are wrong. One should know
how to differentiate right and wrong. People should have good moral values
that will help them guide to the right path. As people know ones are taught
by teachers and parents so that one will acquire moral values that will help
him mold his character. Human do not know anything unless other person
educate them and teach them how to become a moral person. Same as the
adult human, the kids should be taught moral values and mold their
character and become a good person Some people are sometimes
misinterpreted being evil as being good. What you think is right isn't the
same as knowing what is right(E.A Bucchianeri, ND). People that are
confused because from their perspective it is right but the truth is it is
morally wrong. People sometimes do evil things because in their perspective
it is a good thing. For example, stealing goods to feed your family. It is an
evil deed but in your point of view it is the right thing because you can feed
your family this way, your confusing being moral to being evil. Another
example is killing a person in order to save your friend. Again you confused
being evil to being good and moral. The thing is people should not be
confused being moral to being evil because the two are completely
different. What you think is right is not always true. Being moral does not
depend in your perspective There are times that people are
just being morally good for other peoples praise, which is not right. Not
only must we do good, but we must also good for something(Henry David
Thoreau). When you do good act you must do it on good purpose. For
example a person should help poor people for good purpose and not for the
sake that he wants attention of other people that he do something good.
Another example is you let your classmate borrow your things so that he
will let you copy his answer; youre doing a good thing for good purpose.
One should not do good things for bad purpose. It is not being moral
because you only do good things expecting good things will also come to
you except your doing it for a wrong purpose. It can create
misunderstanding into other people
