Per act moral refers to the very human act that any human being performs, such as sleeping, playing or practicing a sport, among others, but evaluated and considered through ethics, in terms of goodness or evil that reports and this then is what ends up turning it into a moral act.
The moral human act consists not only in that whoever deploys it realizes and is aware of what he is doing or about to do, but the most important thing! What will be to take into account and know about the relationship that this act has with ethics, that is, how he is through his propositions will finally judge him, good or bad, as we pointed out above.
To clarify the issue it would be better to mention an example... Attending a meeting of friends is not an act that per se is considered as bad, however, if at the time of the meeting we should actually be working, such an act will not be considered ethically good on the part of ethics, because in this precise example that I am giving you, in reality, it is not that they missed work because some cause from
force greater, as can be the disease or that of a family member have motivated it, but rather the irresponsibility or the need to satisfy a desire of their own are what motivated carry out the aforementioned human action and in the eyes of ethics, as it is not oriented to the realization of some good or altruistic fact, but rather motivated for him selfishness, then, it is considered as a morally bad act.From the foregoing it follows that the general principle that must mobilize every moral act is the realization of good and the avoidance of evil., although many times this means and implies going over your own pleasure and desire, that is, let it be clear, that pleasure, fun, etc. They are not wrong nor do they constitute amoral acts, but in reality when these are opposed to moral duty and are put before life, love, to the I respect of others, to the truth, to the good, among others, then there if they become an act amoral.
