Welcome to the seventh short publication of the Kikulacho Cultures Series™ that discusses popular cultures that may be having a negative impact on your financial well-being. In this publication, I discuss how society enforces so called “morals” and the financial impact on individuals and society. According to oxforddictionaries.com “morality” is defined as “Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior”. According to Paul Ree in his publication “Origin of Moral Feelings”, different societies might have different moral values; in every society, right and wrong were defined by the societies needs and cultural conditions. In Friedrich Nietzsche’s “The Genealogy of Morals”, a response to Ree’s aforementioned publication, Nietzsche shows how relative “morality” is, by giving examples from historical events in Europe where the “powerful/elite” used “morality” as one of their tools to exercise power over the rest of the population. In the book, “Might is Right” by Ragner Redbeard, a similar argument is presented.
Despite the relativity of “morality” many societies continue to enforce it via laws, economic discrimination and social pressure.
