Morality is determined by the individual

Since the last time i debated this topic the person didn' t leave a reply and forfeited I m going to re use the old case. Also I didn't intend this debate to turn into a factual one (Were someone can prove the resolution wrong or right based on a fact. The resolution gives equal leighway to both sides I hope Now to my case Morality. Morality is determined by the individual. Definitions : Axiom – a self-evident truth that requires no proof -dictionary.com STATEMENT 1 "Humans are conscious of their actions." EXPLAINATION: The above statement is an "axiom" or a self evident truth. [1] The reason it is self evident is because to negate the statement requires an action. Not only an action, but a conscious action. Since thinking is a conscious action and so is negation. Thus one cannot negate STATEMENT 1 without being irrational. Now STATEMENT 1 does not win me the round automatically since that would ruin the premise of this debate. Argument from STATEMENT 1 Since humans are conscious of their actions (under average conditions,) humans have choice. Since individuals have choice, they can choose what ideas to accept, or not. These ideas could be anything, belief in gravity, belief in Christianity, belief in existence, belief in Atheism ect. Also other ideas individuals could accept are particular morals or moral systems. Since individuals may choose to accept certain morals and moral systems morality is dictated by each separate individual for themselves. OBJECTION 1 A common objection of the argument I have presented is that morality is determined by society. Such morals include, that it is immoral to kill another person. I myself believe murder to be immoral but murderers still kill. Soldiers also kill. And some people believe the death penalty is moral so thus apparently society does not dictate a singular standard of morality for everyone to abide by since people have different interpretations of morality. Society does enforce its morality, but people still object to society's morals. A person may choose to follow the laws and morals of society of his own free will and there is nothing wrong with that. Although people still break laws, so one comes to the conclusion that people do not accept those laws as moral. OBJECTION 2 Religion dictates morality. A common objection to my argument is that "God" chooses what right or wrong and that mortals should adhere to his moral system. First even if a God dictated such it is proven man has free will so thus an individual would choose whether to accept this God's moral system. Secondly, if one believes in this God's moral system that's their choice. It does not mean that your morality is what we judge all morality by. I myself believe in certain morals, that's my morality and through my eyes certain things are immoral. But the resolution states "Morality is determined by the individual." Even though I have my own morality, that's my decision and mine alone. SUMMARY: Because humans have free will, we choose what to accept. Humans accept certain morals and reject other ones. Because of this morality is determined by the individuals. In my case I provided 2 "Objections" to try and counter any future arguments the con may have and also to better illustrate my point.
