moral obligation

Read a random definition: patent term

A quick definition of moral obligation:

Moral obligation refers to a duty that a person feels they should do based on their own conscience, rather than because of a law or contract. It is a sense of responsibility to do what is right, even if there is no legal requirement to do so. For example, if someone helps a neighbor in need, they may feel a moral obligation to do so, even if there is no legal obligation. Moral obligations are not legally enforceable, but they are important for individuals to act ethically and with integrity.

A more thorough explanation:

A moral obligation is a duty that a person feels they must do based on their conscience, but it is not legally enforceable. It can be any action that a person feels is right or wrong, whether it is based on social relations, kindness, or morality.

  • If you see someone drop their wallet, you may feel a moral obligation to return it to them, even if there is no legal requirement to do so.
  • A person may feel a moral obligation to donate money to a charity that helps people in need, even if they are not legally required to do so.
  • A company may feel a moral obligation to reduce their carbon footprint and take steps to protect the environment, even if there are no laws requiring them to do so.

These examples illustrate how a moral obligation is based on a person's own sense of what is right or wrong, rather than a legal requirement. It is a personal responsibility that a person feels they must fulfill, even if there are no consequences for not doing so.

Hi everyone, has anyone experienced a lower LSAC GPA than their college GPA? I was dealing with mental health problems that caused me to withdrawal classes which is what will hurt my GPA, and it is discouraging me.
Did anyone else who visited UVA notice that their admissions staff smelled like stank fish ?

@StarCleoBug: Yes, my cumulative GPA by LSAC was 3.98 but the GPA they gave was 3.97. I guess it got weighted. I recommend a GPA addendum for your application. They usually give a preset bump if your addendum is found to be sufficient
