Purposes of Morality

I agree with the article by Pojman about the 5 purposes of morality. The reason why I agree with the 5 purposes of morality is because I see it already happening in everyday society. I feel that without some of these guidelines or rules in which this suggests society would be a mess. Children would be able to get away with whatever they want to do. Criminals would still be out in the streets. All in all I feel that these rules are merely commonsense.

As a teacher, the role I play as a moral agent could be an implementor of these purposes or "rules." I think that teachers also should make sure that during the school day the students know there are reasons for doing things. I know that when I am teaching I make sure the student follow a similar version of these rules. I want them to solve their problems by talking and not fighting. They need to know that if they have done something wrong to take the blame themselves and not tell on someone else.
