Describe how culture may impact moral decision-making and use the Hindu religion to illustrate this

What will be an ideal response?


Cultures and religions vary on their emphasis of individual rights and justice and its influence in moral decision-making. For example, the Hindu religion emphasizes duty and responsibility to others. Consistent with this emphasis, when Hindu children and adults respond to moral dilemmas, they favor solutions that provide care for others even when individual rights or justice may suffer. They sometimes condone theft if it's the best way to meet one's responsibilities to care for others.
