Moral Issues & Economic Issues in the Society

What is a Moral Issue?
What is the Distinction Between Moral Actions and Nonmoral Actions?
Abstract: A working definition of an issue of moral concern is presented as any issue with the potential to help or harm anyone, including oneself.

I. Hypothesis 1: Moral issues are those which involve a difference of belief and not a matter of preference.


A. On this hypothesis, a moral dispute would involve a factual disagreement (or a disagreement in belief) where one or the other or neither belief is correct. It would not involve a disagreement in attitude (or a disagreement in feeling).
On this view, examples of a moral issue would include whether it is right that one speaks truthfully in a particular circumstance or whether one obeys the law in a particular circumstance, as these issues as the rightness or wrongness of the action are assumed to be factually determinable through empirical inquiry.
