The Relationship between Traditional Morality and Society

The social function of morality is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

In class society, morality is based on a certain economic foundation, and it is to maintain and serve the dominant economic relations and their order.

Morality maintains and promotes the development of other social ideologies by adjusting people's behaviors and relationships. For example, morality can coordinate the relationship between people in social life, maintain social stability and harmony, and promote the development of people's ideology such as ideology, politics and law.

3. Morality also plays an important role in guiding and restraining people's behavior and social life. Morality guides people to correctly understand the value of society and life by evaluating people's behaviors and thoughts, thus adjusting people's behaviors and social relations. At the same time, morality also condemns and punishes behaviors that violate moral norms, thus constraining people's behaviors and social relations.

At the same time, morality stimulates people's enthusiasm and creativity and promotes social progress and development by encouraging people to pursue truth, goodness and beauty and opposing falsehood, ugliness and ugliness.
