Document Summary
It is important to know the society we live in and the properties we share. If you are going to lead a company you need to know the different views of what the country is and isn"t. It is important to see how politics shapes society, for the good or the bad. Politics and political views expand by studying societies. Scientists and politicians help us form our opinions on global warming. Genetics may even have a role that creates a connection and disconnection with ideas and people. Moral wrongs: a moral wrong it is different from a wrong, since not following an immoral law can be a moral right. This results in poor rational arguments to defend our moral stance: emotions are triggered even if you don"t want them to be triggered. Emotions can be triggered because of moral beliefs (getting angry when someone criticizes the pope). This becomes important in politics, as arguing can become heated.
