Abstract
Morality is, at least to some extent, defined relative to every culture, even relative to each individual. This article discusses culture-bound collective value systems and their impact on personal moral judgments. An individual moral judgment is sometimes clearly situational, but more typically, it is dependent on the person’s psychological development and differentiation of the feeling function. Just as thinking organizes conscious content under concepts, feeling arranges it according to its value. Because of the basic need for shared togetherness and identification among people, collective feelings and opinions tend to appeal to us more quickly than mentally taxing individuality. The carefully weighted balance between collective and individual views is, however, the beginning of all wisdom.
