Extract
Conscience and conscientious objection or moral justification are social activities not just Individualistic, “do-it-yourself” moralities. This requires education, training and intentional moral development and active input and encouragement. It is not just a matter of our moral biases but of awareness of the different applications of such principles and perspectives to particular situations and cases and of how to respond to moral critique and alternative conscientious grounds and beliefs.
