Morality - GCSE Religious Studies Definition

Reviewed by: Bridgette Barrett

Published

Morality refers to a set of principles or values that guide individuals in determining what is right and wrong, and how to act ethically in various situations. In the context of GCSE Religious Studies, morality is often explored through different religious and philosophical perspectives, each offering unique insights into what is regarded as good or bad behaviour. It involves understanding the consequences of actions, the intentions behind them, and the impact on others and oneself. By examining moral teachings from various religions and ethical frameworks, students learn to develop their own moral views and make informed decisions that reflect both personal beliefs and societal norms.
