Concept in Definition ABC

In the communication human there are permanently positive and negative evaluations. There is talk of good and bad, truth and lie, false and true, right and wrong. There are aspects that are valued favorably and others that are not.

Everything that is considered positive is correct. And the correction refers to the set of actions that are correct. From a focus From semantic analysis, it is easy to explain the idea of ​​correctness. Somehow, everyone thinks they can clearly distinguish what is correct and what is not. In reality the idea of ​​correction is more complex than it initially appears. Sometimes it is clear what is correct: raising children, working honestly and complying with the laws are social behaviors that, in principle, are considered positive. But the reality is sometimes complicated. Let's take the example of complying with the laws. It is a statement that nobody disputes and if it did it would be very strange, absurd or it would be a criminal who lives next door. margin of the law. However, following the laws can be wrong.

Breaking unjust laws is what Gandhi called disobedience civil. That idea was championed by Luther King. The two were leaders fighting for the Justice, for a true correction. As is already known, the two were murdered. There is currently a general consensus on his contributions to humanity. Gandhi and Luther King said that what was legally right was wrong from the point of view of justice.

The idea of ​​correction is evolving. Proof of this is the set of civic norms of the past. Today they seem strange to us and are incorrect. New ideas and trends alter the notion of moral values, which are the ideas by which we judge whether the conduct human is correct or not.

Do not forget that correction is very often synonymous with current and habitual. We affirm that x is correct because we are used to it, without offering arguments that properly justify its correction.
