moral obligation

Read a random definition: guaranteed-sale contract

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.
