Document Summary

Write a critical analysis of the introduction of alan hunt"s governing morals. In your response, identify hunt"s key arguments and discuss his approach to the topic of moral regulation. According to hunt (1999), moral regulation encompasses all forms of governing. hunt discovers how moral regulation campaigns affect individual lives and as a result, the broader social context. Agreeably, moral regulation includes all forms of governing. However, saying that only society is the origin of moral regulation and only providing sociological perspectives is not providing a whole picture of moral regulation. There are many factors that plays in between. For example, people first learn which behaviors are acceptable and which are not from their parents, religion, peers and then society. It is through combining sociological and religious perspective that individuals grow up into moral beings. Hunts argues that moral regulation should be studied as sociological phenomena, and that moral regulation is a sociological force.
