Morals Are Not Common Sense.

Everyone has different morals, but many people don’t realize that morals are not “common sense.” It is good to study ethics in order to understand all of the different moral frameworks. The textbook I am reading in my engineering ethics class does not agree with the Libertarian perspective, but it presents the Libertarian perspective correctly which is nice to see because I have encountered numerous professors who clearly do not understand the Libertarian perspective, so I don’t know what books they are reading. Most people do not understand that the concept of human rights can be subdivided into liberty human rights and welfare human rights. The engineering ethics book makes the argument that some welfare rights are necessary in a moral society, but the reader is given the knowledge that all proposed human rights are not basic liberty rights. The reader is then able to use that knowledge in order to make an independent judgment. The book even goes as far as to mention writers like Ayn Rand and John Locke so that the reader is able to get more information from these writers if the reader wants to learn more about the moral perspective which only acknowledges liberty human rights as being morally valid human rights.
