Research in psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy has proposed a multifaceted view of human cognition and morality, establishing that inputs from multiple cognitive and affective processes such as theory of mind, semantic knowledge, and language guide moral judgment and decision-making. However, the extant perspective of moral cognition has largely overlooked a critical role for episodic representation. The ability to remember or imagine a specific moment in the past or future, supported by the medial temporal lobe subsystem, plays a broadly influential role in how people think, feel, and behave. Yet existing research has only just begun to explore the influence of episodic representation on moral judgment and decision-making. Here, we evaluate the theoretical connections between episodic representation and moral judgment, review emerging empirical work revealing how episodic representation affects moral judgment and decision-making, and conclude by highlighting gaps in the literature and future directions to explore. We argue that a comprehensive model of moral cognition will require including contributions of the episodic memory system, further delineating its direct influence on morality as well as better understanding how this system engages and interacts with other mental processes to fundamentally shape human morality.

The strength of emotions in moral judgment and decision-making under risk The focus of this paper is the role of emotions in judgments and choices associated with moral issues. Study 1 shows that depending on the strength of emotions when making a moral decision, people become sensitive to the severity and the probability of harm that their decisions can bring to others. A possible interpretation is that depending on the strength of emotions, people in their moral judgments choose to be either utilitarian or deontologist. In Study 2, following the priority heuristic model, we found that in situations in which the violation of moral norms does not evoke strong negative emotions, people are sensitive to quantitative risk parameters (probabilities and outcomes), and the decision-making process requires a relatively longer time. In moral situations in which a violation of the moral norm evokes strong emotions, decision-making is based on arguments other than quantitative risk parameters, and the process takes a shorter time.

Terjadi perbenturan-perbenturan  individual dan social yang masih selalu terkait dengan latar  belakang masyarakat, seperti etnis, agama dan keadaan social. Tidak dapat disanggah bila dikatakan akar penyebab semua itu disebabkan oleh problem karakter. Karakter memengaruhi pertimbangan dan pengambilan keputusan etis dan moral. Dalam konteks inilah keluarga Kristen dipanggil untuk turut serta membangun bangsa melalui pendidikan di keluarga. Keluarga Kristen menjadi pendidik karakter bagi anak-anaknya. Tulisan ini bertujuan mendiskripsikan tujuh kebajikan utama, yaitu belas kasih, empati, penguasaan diri, rasa hormat, toleransi, adil, dan cinta tanah air, untuk membangun karakter Kristiani anak.
