Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

Societies have long struggled with questions of moral behaviorthat is, which types of behaviors will be considered good and right (or moral) versus those thatare bad and wrong (or immoral ). Some common examples in the contemporary United States include whether marijuana use or gay marriage is compatible with our understanding of morality. What is considered immoral behavior is constantly at issue because in any society different groups will inevitably have different views and understandings. When societies attempt to outlaw certain kinds of previously common and widespread behavior across society, it is invariably a highly controversial process. For example, marijuana use rivals that of alcohol consumption and some would say marijuana is less debilitating.The growing campaign to legalize marijuana exemplifies the changing dynamics of moral regulation and how hard it is to fix moral behavior. It is increasingly difficult for opponents of marijuana to persuade citizens that it makes sense to allow alcohol consumption, which can kill both the drinker and others, while still outlawing marijuana and considering it a deviant activity.
