Moral Obligations
| Mon, 11-14-2011 - 9:44am |
The Penn State Mess has me wondering about moral obligations. Do we have moral obligations to make sure something gets done about wrongdoings we know about? If you have reported a crime/abuse, do you have an obligation to follow up? Who's morals get to be the guidelines?

I beleive we do have a moral obligatin, even if there is no legal obligation (like int eh Penn State situation).

There are generally agreed upon societal morals that we should all do our best to uphold. If you have reported the crime/abuse to the proper authorities do you have an obligation to follow-up? I'm not sure. The important thing is that you have reported it to the proper authorities. In the case of criminal behaviour, I don't think a football coach is the proper authority.
