Society has been distinguishing the concepts of good and evil since the ancient times. So, we can say that it had a specific morality - the system of moral relations, feelings, and consciousness. The morality is the central question of ethics, and still relevant to our society. Among the ethical systems I have learned, there are virtue ethics, utilitarianism, social contract, deontology with goals (Hinduism and Buddhism), deontology with divine authority (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), relativism (individual and cultural), and deontology with a categorical imperative (Kant). So, I would like to say a few words about each of them.

Abstract

Domestic violence, as its name suggests, involves intimate partner and family violence. The law has historically treated domestic violence as only a secondary issue. The treatment reflects the longstanding notion that family and domestic matters are private and should not be subject to law enforcement interference. Compounding this blasé attitude towards domestic violence was the fact that traditionally, women were considered to belong to their husbands. Until very recently, a husband could not be prosecuted for the rape of his wife. What is important to note is that domestic violence affects all types of persons. There is no one, ...
