	Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Moral core - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andris, a check of google using the search criterion ["moral code" -wikipedia -neutrality] returns some 4300 pages, some which direct to wiki wannabes (or what I call wikithieves - using wiki pages without attribution), but a large number of which indicate this term is in common use, and has a shared meaning.
		"Moral core" as a specific philosophical concept in metaphysics, on the other hand, is not a common term, not, to my knowledge, an accepted term in scholarship.
		That links to Moral core become red is more encouragement to creation of a good article, if this is a reasonable topic for any article, than is leaving a very bad article.

	Moral Particularism
		Moral Particularism, at its most trenchant, is the claim that there are no defensible moral principles, that moral thought does not consist in the application of moral principles to cases, and that the morally perfect person should not be conceived as the person of principle.
		Moral principles are at best crutches that a morally sensitive person would not require, and indeed the use of such crutches might even lead us into moral error.
		The invariant core is given by the virtues, therefore, and the variant periphery depends upon that invariant core.

	Shaun Nichols - Sentimental Rules: On the Natural Foundations of Moral Judgment - Reviewed by Neil Sinclair, Bristol ...
		On the empirical side, he rejects a perspective-taking account of moral judgement on the basis that the capacity for core moral judgement emerges long before the capacity to run mental simulations of the mental states of others (pp.8-11).
		Third, though Nichols spends some time discussing the affective response involved in core moral judgement, he gives no general account of the sort of affective response that might be involved once the SR account is extended to cover all moral judgements.
		Core moral judgements, for example, are justified by reference to welfare considerations such as 'because it hurt' (p.6).

	20th WCP: The Moral Core of U.S. Constitutional Bans on Hate Speech Codes
		I argue that the moral basis for banning overbroad codes combines a nonconsequential emphasis on the value of liberty with a consequentialist analysis of what happens when liberty that should be protected is entangled in codes reflecting liberty that should not be protected.
		Of course the moral defense of the codes is precisely that they should discriminate between words that stigmatize groups and those that do not, that only in that way can they protect the equality of members of the stigmatized group, including their equal right to liberty.
		To get at the core of hate and group stigmatization that these codes are after, and thus at the alleged moral basis of the codes, it is best to begin by getting at what even the defenders of the codes might admit is at their periphery.

	Savage Minds: Notes and Queries in Anthropology — A Group Blog » Morality and Anthropology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		What used to be regarded as a failure of morality (or of mental ability, or of education) is regarded by anthropologists in scientific terms, as adaptation to particular environments or resistance to colonial oppression or the outcome of historically contingent practices or the result of cultural contact.
		So, although there is no universal morality that is inherent in anthropological practice, each anthropologist understands and justifies her work according to a moral code, or set of assumptions about what can/should be done in and out of the field.
		Morality might be defined, then, as the process by which practices or behaviors are evaluated and the values they express.

		Moral example is trust in the moral core of another, a role model, without the obvious mediation of any theory or language.
		It is also true that since the exact circumstances and decisions of the lives of such moral examples cannot be reproduced or repeated, followers are often reduced to following their etiquette and customs, e.g.
		Since the lives of moral exemplars are not inspectable by people in the present, storytelling takes a central role in any culture built on moral example - leading to the idea of a 'moral of a story'.

	Moral Values Gen Session
		Until recent years, public schools had long since deferred from their original roles in morality and character education, though many outside of the school systems continued political pressure to move schools either toward or away from a values-oriented curriculum.
		Moral and Civic Education and Teaching About Religion, we read, “The golden rule, a rule stating that we should do to others as we would have others do to us, is an ancient maxim shared by many peoples.
		Our core values initiate and permeate the way in which we decode or interpret the world: (1) they focus our attention; (2) they form a processing matrix or schema and (3) because values are idiosyncratic and complex, they force us to attend and to process idiosyncratically and complexly.

	Fostering Goodness: Teaching Parents to Facilitate Children's Moral Development
		For example, the study of emergent morality in the second year of life (infancy) by necessity emphasizes empathy and self-other differentiation, whereas the study of pre-school morality focuses, appropriately, on perspective-taking, self-control, and social behaviors such as sharing.
		Moral characteristics, however, do not appear spontaneously nor are they disconnected from the larger core of what constitutes healthy psychology.
		It is a bit circular to argue that parenting influences the development of a social sense, having already established that the core of a social sense derives from the formation of the attachment bond with one's primary caretakers.

		Anthropologists are involved with moral issues in two senses; the first is in their personal, often politically-charged, response to the practices and beliefs they witness in the field or in their research.
		Which at once reifies the nature of the claim of a moral core (without at any point deigning to actually identify what it is), whilst also suggesting that anyone who disagrees with this has a lack of vision (and presumably, must therefore be an inferior anthropologist).
		With an expressed moral core, it is, after all, a politically active group of people who cloak themselves in the aura of neutral academics, but who admit that they really pursue a distinct political agenda that is contrary to my interests.

	ETHICS, MORAL CHARACTER AND AUTHENTIC TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
		The ethics of leadership rests upon three pillars: (1) the moral character of the leader, (2) the ethical values embedded in the leader’s vision, articulation, and program which followers either embrace or reject, and (3) the morality of the processes of social ethical choice and action that leaders and followers engage in and collectively pursue.
		To guide moral actions, modern Western ethics marks a change in Western tradition in its articulation of ethical criteria It is inspired by science (as opposed to custom or religion) and it places emphasis upon rules or principles to be followed in concrete situations (rather than virtues or character).
		The heart of the moral project is to "choose oneself" and claim responsibility for the "self" that one is and for the relationships one has.

		If we do not have a solid moral justification for the values, then we will be in no better position than the sergeant when we tell our soldiers that loyalty is somehow morally better than the value of disloyalty.
		These, then, are the problems that I see with current sets of core values: the justification for the values or either arbitrary or weak and the programs designed around them do not supply a morally sufficient motivation for members of the services to uphold them.
		If the structure of morality is someone doing something to someone then we certainly have to consider the effect upholding these values have on others if we are to determine the value’s moral worth.

		In the process, we will seek to discern the roots and the content of our own deepest religious and moral convictions, the means by which we may review revise, and enact these convictions, and the goals to which they lead.
		Religion is viewed by many as indispensable for personal and public moral behavior; to others, religion is mainly a source of sectarian conflict, intolerance, and public disunity.

	Acting Bravely in Intolerant Times
		Moral exclusion is a way of determining who in our world is acceptable and who is not, and the reasoning process for supporting these decisions.
		In the wake of the World Trade Center disaster, we are witnessing the process of moral exclusion, moving individuals, groups, nationalities, religion, nations away from our moral core in order to engage in behavior that is outside the realm of what is acceptable.
		Through the gradual weakening of one's moral compass, one's moral self-sanctions (society's moral compass and self-sanctions), hate talk becomes acceptable, incidents of hate action becomes the norm, the stage is set for more extreme actions of violence.

		In Part 1, "The Single Source of Morality and Religion," consisting of five chapters, Maguire maintains that the values of compassion and sedaqah, central to these faiths, constitute "theopolitical dynamite" that challenges the social, economic, and political structures of oppressive societies, of which ours is one.
		A reasonable case can be made that many instances of poverty or homelessness are not primarily a result of oppression by the contemporary rich but stem from several causes, including dysfunctional and irresponsible behavior and attitudes of the "sufferers" themselves or of their parents.
		Maguire's book will be inspiring reading for all who are troubled by the oppression of the weak and vulnerable, the cult of nationalistic militarism, the institutionalization of poverty, threats to the environment, and their own apathy in the presence of all of these ills.

		Variations of the cores are not distributed linearly, but are radial deviations from either one or the other core models.
		Political independents are the most sophisticated (and pragmatic) voters of all, as they are capable of cool-headedly picking and chosing between conservatism in some areas of life and liberalism in other areas and smoothly transtitioning from one to the other as they please.
		While "Moral Politics" is an excellent and potentially useful analysis of the current state of mind in the USA, a biologist trained in Tinbergian "four aims and methods" will feel unsatisfied with the book.

	Moral core - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The moral core of an individual is the extent to which that person will apply his or her notions of morality.
		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.

	Science And Politics: Liberal Moral Core (Rush Limbaugh version)
		Having external locus of moral authority means that such people are much more likely to join groups led by charismatic leaders with absolute authority, the group being a gang, a church, a terrorist organization, or a political party.
		Liberals trust themselves to build their own moral and ethical norms and do not have a need to have those imposed from the outside.
		I guess if people rely on external foci of moral authority, then, whenever that authority is not present to exert control, these people are incapable of self-control, i.e., crime is OK as long as nobody can see it done.

		Usually these are formalized in some kind of moral code, e.g.
		However, constant exposure to social mores is thought by some to lead to development of an individual moral core, which is pre-rational and consists of a set of inhibitions that cannot be easily characterized except as potential inhibitions against taking opportunities that the family or society does not consider desirable.
