		The smaller community context embeds the attorney rather deeply into the local life and ethos with the result that local opinion and values have a salience for his practice patterns that are not typical of more cosmopolitan settings.
		A communitarian morality is not at its core a philosophy of liberation.

	20th WCP: Tolerance, Liberalism, and Community
		The state is thus to be neutral in the religious and moral wars that rage over the point of human life and the detailed ways of life worthy of human beings; but, of course, the state must keep the peace between one individual and another and between competing factions.
		In our pluralist community, the conceptions of the worthy life that are constitutive of the reflective self are themselves thin enough (or the constituting is tentative enough) to allow for acceptance of liberal neutrality in the polity without danger to the stability of the reflective self.
		The community's principles are thus not found by asking the members of the community, but rather by theory-construction on the part of the interpreter, using the legal practices and texts as the signs of the underlying theory.

	Three Moral Paradoxes: The Good and Evil, the Wickedly Good and the Wicked Victim
		Evil moralities are thus defined by their absolute and systematic exclusion of some person, some group of people or some groups of people to such a degree that the exploitation, destruction, suffering or death of those excluded is utterly irrelevant to the members of the community that embraces that particular evil morality.
		These are those members of a morality courageous enough to recognize that the rules of their morality are in place to serve the moral community and the moral community is not in place merely to obey the rules.
		If the moral narcissist is a de facto member of a benign moral community, there accrues a wicked benefit for the narcissist if he can demonstrate to that community that he has been excluded, or that he is a member of a sub-group that has been excluded.

	Ethics and the Moral Community
		Thus "moral community" is a descriptive phrase, meaning the relatedness of people by values and mores, not all of which are necessarily good, right or virtuous.
		Even though one of the communities to which we belong often assumes a dominant role in one's moral life, we must learn to integrate the self into a meaningful whole, using almost exclusively the materials given or thrust upon us by various moral communities.
		Because the traditional moral communities in the nation (and elsewhere) assume the primary responsibility for the care of children lies with women, it is a women's issue.

	Moral Education: The Korean Experience
		Moral education as a separate subject matter is based on a belief that moral education in Korea must be both universal and particular.
		Moral education is at once the most complex and the simplest, the most frustrating and the most rewarding, the most challenging and the easiest, task of the teacher.
		However, since the limits of the cognitive developmental moral education and values clarification were acknowledged among Koren moral educators, moral education was beginning to readjust itself in order to bridge a gap between moral judgment and moral behavior, and to integrate the ethics of virtue and the ehtics of duty.

	Images Shape Our Moral Community
		Moral community refers to the network of those to whom we recognize an ethical connection through the demands of justice, the bonds of compassion, or a sense of obligation.
		The moral community for most of us lies somewhere in between, reaching beyond the immediate limits of family and friends to include those who share our gender or race, class, profession, religion, nationality, and, possibly, our humanity.
		This is not to say that moral community is a series of concentric circles with moral claims diminishing as we move further away from our immediate sphere.

		The preservation of moral community demands that the shattering of the foundation of its existence must be taken with utmost seriousness.
		The preciousness of life in a moral community must be so highly honored that those who do not honor the life of others make null and void their own right to membership.

	Karl Hostetler / SOLIDARITY AND MORAL COMMUNITY
		He does insist, though, that morality demands fair procedures for debating questions of human good, and even if morality does not require students to ignore their particular interests, it does demand that they consider their interests at a level of greater generality and aim for consensus at that level.
		Certain norms may serve student communities quite well, say in the moral task of helping them preserve their human dignity through resistance to oppression, even if we would also insist that such norms are not generalizable to other contexts and that it is important that these communities come to realize that.
		The intelligibility of moral life and solidarity must be established if we are to expect students to see the point of expanding that solidarity and bringing others into their moral world.

		For purposes of educational theory, as Dewey noticed, "community" is used both as a descriptive or explanatory concept, and a normative concept.
		Understanding the individual self and the identity of a community (what makes that person the individual self he or she is, or what gives the community the identity it has) is valuable.
		When a community affirms the value of some plausible moral ideal of autonomy in that community's educational practices, the situation is arguably one which both the better sorts of liberals and the better sorts of communitarians could approve.

	Morality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Morality refers to the concept of human ethics which pertains to matters of good and evil —also referred to as "right or wrong", used within three contexts: individual conscience; systems of principles and judgments — sometimes called moral values —shared within a cultural, religious, secular, Humanist, or philosophical community; and codes of behavior or conduct.
		A moral core is presumed to be formed by experience, including especially parental moral examples, and the slow growth via cognition of a set of conditionings, inhibitions, and concepts of beauty through his or her entire lifetime.
		Some theories of morality, notably moral relativism, but also branches of theology, hold that there is little value in attempting to share moral cores or even to align moral choices except to the bare minimum needed to prevent conflict.

		It is also noteworthy that Durkheim equates church with moral community, a conflation that perhaps seems wrong today in an era of sectarian rivalries and violent conflicts.
		Durkheim's definition leaves open the possibility of inclusion within the general rubric of religion various moral communities that would not be considered religious if belief in the supernatural is taken to be definitive.
		To avoid this confusion, it is perhaps preferable to treat religious communities as one type of moral community (see, for example, Lenski 1961).

		Explores a style of moral reasoning informed by Confucian humanism, which takes self-cultivation as the basis for the development of a moral community.
		Focuses on the perception of the self as a center of relationships and the conviction that society ought to be a community of trust.
		Although our main concern is to understand Confucian ethics as a form of “virtue-centered” morality, attention is also given to a critical analysis of the limits of Confucian ethics in light of contemporary discussions of such issues as human rights and political authority.

		Finally, moral community was nurtured through one of the exercises the CEP constructed for representatives to learn both ethical theory and case analysis.
		The exercise and a subsequent one have formed the basis for a new casebook in clinical ethics for community hospitals.
		I also stress that the CEP is "more than the sum of its parts." It is also a moral community; yet the faculty and staff of the CEP do not "create" the moral community.

		In contrast, the majority of the workers at the Salvation Army were "drafted volunteers," who were performing mandated community service under California's Alternative Sentencing Program, or who were residents of the Center's "In-house" shelter.
		Paradoxically, therefore, the staff and volunteers at the Salvation Army, whose ideological stance stressed hierarchy and the moral boundary between the clients and those who cared for them, were actually closer to the poor they served than the middle-class Loaves and Fishes volunteers were to their guests.

		Iimpressed by this attempt to make a Catholic community run by Catholic principles and Catholic inspired laws.If this is inspired by the Monastic Tradition it is but a new turn in an old, venerable story, not very far in spirit from an Institution like Opus Dei.
		I can see a danger for the inhabitants of this community, if successfull, to turn inside and loose their role in the leavening of the American Society which,if I remember, has many unleaved aspects.
		Such a community is not outside the laws of the state and federal laws but most certainly are outside their morals.

		This account of basic moral rights concerns whether they are necessary, to what kind of being they can be ascribed, their nature, and to whom they extend.
		Lomansky contends that rights are a kind of shorthand category for well-entrenched moral intuitions, principles, and standards whose aim is to support individualism as of paramount moral significance.
		His main worry is that it insists that all moral decisions are to be made "impartially" and therefore leaves no room for agents to be "partial" to their own projects.
