The Modern Concept of Moral and Morality
Abstract
The scientific article is devoted to theoretical issues that arise in counteracting crimes against morals. Nowadays, changes are taking place in the legal protection of the fight against crime, which affects the regular practice of the work of law enforcement agencies. The perception and understanding of the person of various events occurring around them is under different influence, which may lead to corresponding changes in the worldview. In the presented work, the goal is to carry out a scientific analysis of the opinions expressed at different times by scientists regarding the concepts of moral and morals, with the subsequent disclosure of their own suggestion for their definition. The importance of the chosen topic is conditioned by the need to improve the conceptual foundations of the fight against crime, in particular in the area of combating crimes against morals, especially in light of recent statements regarding the decriminalization of activities related to the provision of sexual services. The author substantiates the position that in order to ensure the normal existence of a society and the common life of people in any community, awareness of such sustainable categories as good and evil, honor and dignity, conscience and justice must be preserved. In the scientific work, based on the results of the research, the conclusions are presented, as well as the author’s vision for the further solution of the problem is illustrated. In the definition of the terms «moral» and «morals», a long evolutionary path has been passed that is reflected in the published thoughts of thinkers of different times, but despite this, discussions on their interpretation are not completed and there is no single unified approach to their understanding. The author substantiates the idea that the concepts of «moral» and «morals» are not the same and it is proposed to perceive moral in terms of sustainable and generally accepted spiritual and cultural values in society, and morals – in the aspect of the internal installation of a person to act in a certain way or refrain from concrete actions are guided by their own understanding. Disclosure materials can be used to substantiate the need for punishment for attacks on moral and morals, as well as for future research in this area.
