Morality is all in your mind.

Morality is indeed a social construct.

Here's a breakdown:

  1. Variability: What is considered "moral" by one might be seen as "immoral" in another. Attitudes vary widely.
  2. Historical Evolution: Standards change over time. Practices that were once acceptable are now widely condemned, and vice versa. This shows that "morality" exists only in the human mind.
  3. Socialization: Individuals learn through socialization processes like education, religion, media, and family teachings. The beliefs one holds are largely influenced by the society they grow up in.
  4. Norms and Laws: Many "morals" are codified into laws or norms that govern behavior within a society. These are constructed by humans.
  5. Relativism: This philosophical perspective reveals that "moral" judgments are true or false relative to some particular standpoint (such as cultural, historical, or personal contexts).
