Institutions and Morality

Institutions and Morality

        Living in society is to integrate into organized institutions that protect the individual, promote their training and establish a balance of order without which the existence and the individual's well-being would be severely compromised.

        The word institution means stability and despite the institutions suffer adjustments and reorganizations they have by nature a degree of stability.

       They are as it were the guardians of morals and good customs, exert a moderating action especially in young people and safeguarding the traditions and teachings of the past and are unlikely to disagree with the moral life. They are particularly necessary in childhood, because they will enable children to acquire status of being human (family). Also in adolescence depending on the institution the young will build their identity (family, school). And in adulthood, they provide orientation parameters in our action. However, institutions behave inconvenience because they can lead to conservatism and uniformity and can be control agents by preventing the freedom and progress of peoples. And can withstand risks as the moral facade, a super autonomous self and na exaggerated conformism .
