Basic universal morality is held by most people around the world. Unfortunately, some extremists are participating in what almost everyone views as immorality. Other types of behavior do not as easily fall into one category or the other. My personal list of immoral behaviors includes:
Limiting freedom and human rights of women, homosexuals, immigrants, and other groups based on out-dated thinking. Our bodies and private lives should not be infringed upon.
Giving priority to any group who wants their beliefs to be supported and fostered in government, in public schools, and in public places. Religious and non-religious citizens should feel a part of laws that are passed, public meetings that are held, and displays in public areas.
Limiting health care to only those who can pay for it. Public health and public education are essential for a thriving society.
Abandoning public school systems and funneling government vouchers to private and religious education. Where problems exist in the public system, find a way to fix them.
Trying to be big brother or the police in foreign countries. Our imposition often creates animosity. The UN or NATO should give aid when they deem it necessary.
Using war as a solution to problems except for self defense. Protect citizens at home and encourage them not to go in harms way abroad where they aren't under our protection.
These are just a few examples of immorality. As you consider my list, agree or disagree. What other behaviors would be on your list of immoral behavior?
