INTRODUCTION

Moral theories are not mere theories in the dismissive sense either. They too are based

on repeated observations, are likely to integrate hypotheses, and attempt to explain and

justify a range of moral or ethical judgments about particular cases.

In navigating the complexities of human behavior and decision-making, the intertwined

concepts of moral theories and mental frames emerge as pivotal lenses through which

individuals perceive, evaluate, and respond to ethical dilemmas. Moral theories, ranging

from utilitarianism to deontology, offer structured frameworks for moral reasoning, while

mental frames shape the cognitive schemas through which individuals interpret and make

sense of their experiences.

This research endeavors to delve into the intricate relationship between moral theories and

mental frames, illuminating their profound implications across various domains of human life.

As we embark on this exploration, it becomes evident that understanding these concepts not

only enriches our comprehension of ethical decision-making but also holds profound

significance in fostering empathy, social cohesion, and informed societal discourse.

Throughout this study, we will embark on a journey to unravel the intricacies of moral

theories, examining their foundational principles and the manner in which they intersect with

individuals' cognitive processes. Additionally, we will explore the dynamic nature of mental

frames, considering their formation, evolution, and impact on moral perception and

judgment.

Moreover, we will illuminate the importance of integrating insights from moral theories and

mental frames across diverse disciplines, from psychology and sociology to ethics and

beyond. By elucidating the synergistic relationship between these concepts, we aim to

underscore their relevance in addressing contemporary ethical challenges and advancing

our collective understanding of human morality.

Ultimately, this research seeks to not only elucidate the theoretical underpinnings of moral

theories and mental frames but also to underscore their practical significance in fostering

ethical awareness, empathy, and critical thinking. As we embark on this intellectual

endeavor, we invite readers to join us in exploring the profound implications of moral

theories and mental frames in shaping the fabric of human society.

But neither are moral theories quite like scientific theories. The data that scientific theories

try to explain is provided by observation of the natural world. The data that moral theories try

to explain is our considered moral judgments; judgments that have, we might say, survived

the test of good logical and critical thinking. There is an obvious difference here in the case

of moral theories, we use our considered judgments to supply the data by which we judge

the adequacy of moral theories.

Still, even with this different acknowledged, we do use moral theories, and often in very

similar ways to their scientific counterparts.

OVERVIEW OF MORAL THEORIES AND MENTAL FRAMES

A moral theory, then explains why a certain action is wrong—or why we ought to act in

certain ways. In short, it is a theory of how we determine right and wrong conduct. Also,

moral theories provide the framework upon which we think and discuss in a reasoned way,

and so evaluate, specific moral issues.

CONSEQUENTIALISM

Consequentialist theories, unlike virtue and deontological theories, hold that only the

consequences, or outcomes, of actions matter morally. According to this view, acts are

deemed to be morally right solely on the basis of their consequences. The most common

form of consequentialism is utilitarianism.

DEONTOLOGY

Deontological theories (derived from the Greek word for duty, deon) base morality on certain

duties or obligations, and claim that certain actions are intrinsically right or wrong, that is,

right or wrong in themselves, regardless of the consequences that may follow from those

actions. What makes a choice right is its conformity with a moral norm. Thus, an agent has a

duty to act in accordance with a moral norm, irrespective of the (potentially beneficial) effects

of acting otherwise.

We might say that parents, for example, have an obligation to take care of their children. On

a deontological view, parents must fulfill this obligation, even if breaking the obligation were

to result, for the parents, in some great benefits(increased financial savings, for example).

The deontological view holds that some actions cannot be justified by their consequences. In

short, for the deontologist, the ends do not justify the means.
JUSTICE AS FAIRNESS

Justice as fairness refers to the conception of justice that John Rawls presents in A Theory

of Justice. This conception of justice concerns society‟s basic structure—that is, ”society‟s

main political, constitutional, social, and economic institutions and how they fit together to

form a unified scheme of social cooperation over time.”

UTILITARIANISM

Utilitarianism states that actions are morally right if and only if they maximize the good (or,

alternatively, minimizes the bad). Classical utilitarians like Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart

Mill (as well as many contemporary utilitarians) take „the good‟ to be pleasure or well being.

Thus, actions are morally right, on this view, if and only if they maximize pleasure or well-

being or minimize suffering.

This approach is sometimes called hedonistic utilitarianism. For hedonistic utilitarians, the

rightness or our actions are determined solely on the basis of consequences of pleasure or

pain.

Utilitarian theories may take other goods into consideration. Preference utilitarianism, for

example, takes into account not just pleasures, but the satisfaction of any preference.

Utilitarianism can also be divided along other lines. Act-utilitarianism claims that we must

apply a utilitarian calculation to each and every individual action. By making this calculation,

we can thereby determine the moral rightness or wrongness of each action we plan to take.
Rule-utilitarianism eases the burden that act-utilitarianism places on practical reasoning by

establishing moral rules that, when followed, brings about the best consequences.

Rule-utilitarianism can be illustrated by the rule “do not kill”. As a general rule, we would be

better off, that is, the best consequences, or state of affairs, would be brought about, if we all

followed the rule “do not kill.”

OBJECTIONS TO UTILITARIANISM:

There are a number of objections to utilitarian theories, both in their act-formulations and in

their rule-formulations.

Act-utilitarianism, for example, seems to be impractical. To stop to calculate the

possible outcomes of every act we intend to make, as well as the outcomes of all of

the possible alternatives to that act is unrealistic. Moreover, it may hinder one‟s

ability to bring about the best consequence for example, in cases where a quick

response is vital(as in responding to a car wreck).

Others have objected to utilitarianism on the grounds that we cannot always predict

the outcomes of our actions accurately. One course of action may seem like it will

lead to the best outcome, but we may be(and often are) mistaken. The best it

seems we can do, then, is to guess at the short term consequences of our actions.

Objections to utilitarianism have also been made on the grounds that it is

excessively demanding and places too large a burden on individuals. Since

utilitarianism says that acts are morally right if only if they maximize pleasure or

well-being, it seems that leisure activities, such as watching television, may be

 morally wrong because they do not maximize well-being. Any person watching

television could, after all, be doing something else-something that would maximize

utility, like helping others or volunteering.

Finally, utilitarianism receives criticism because seemingly immoral acts and rules

can be justified using utilitarianism (this criticism is applicable both to act- and rule-

utilitarianism). Genocides, torture, and other evils may be justified on the grounds

that they ultimately, lead to the best outcome. Unjust rules for example, laws that

legalize slavery or apartheid might also be justified on utilitarian grounds.

Virtue theories encounter problems with moral dilemmas in which two(or more)

virtues conflict. In other words, the requirements of one virtue may be opposed, or

contradictory, to the requirements of another. The requirements of honesty, for

example, require us to tell the truth, even if it is hurtful. The virtues of kindness or

compassion, on the other hand, point to remaining silent, or perhaps even lying, in

order to avoid harm.

VIRTUE ETHICS

Virtue ethics takes its philosophical root in the work of the ancient Greek philosopher

Aristotle. Virtue theories claim that ethics is about agents, not actions, or good life, then,

consists in the possession of the right character traits (virtues) and having, as a result, the

appropriate moral character.

Unlike deontological accounts, which focus on learning and, subsequently, living by moral

rules, virtue accounts place emphasis on developing good habits of character. In essence,
this means developing virtuous character traits-dispositions to act in a certain way and

avoiding bad character traits, or vices of character.

The study of moral judgment and decision making examines the way people behave and

react to social and moral dilemmas. Moral and ethical theories usually provide the foundation

for such efforts, providing important constructs and definitions, and even suggesting

hypothetical experimental designs. A good example is the differentiation between

deontological and utilitarian basis of moral action selection. Characteristically utilitarian

approaches look at the overall benefit of each action, while characteristically deontological

approaches set principles, prohibiting some actions regardless of their ultimate outcome.

Both approaches provide predictions for moral decisions and use hypothetical scenarios

such as personal versus impersonal trolley-type problems to illustrate the different

predictions. In recent years researchers have been putting such theories to the test in a

variety of experimental designs and populations. Translating theoretical hypotheses and

constructs to an experimental paradigm or an operational prediction is not trivial.

Participants‟ individual traits and their cultural and societal context introduces variability and

nuances to ethical theories. In addition, the technical need to build a robust and reliable

experimental design, which can be evaluated using statistical tools, leads researchers to

adopt experimental designs from different fields, such as economics and cognitive

psychology.
UNDERSTANDING MENTAL FRAMES

Mental frames are the cognitive structures through which we interpret the world around us.

They are the amalgamation of our beliefs, values, experiences, and cultural influences that

shape our perceptions and guide our thinking. These frames act as filters, influencing how

we process information, make decisions, and approach problem solving.

Impact of perception

One of the fundamental ways in which mental frames impact innovation is through their

influence on perception. Individuals with diverse experiences and perspectives may

interpret the same information differently, leading to a variety of insights and potential

solutions. Conversely, rigid mental frames can limit our ability to see beyond established

norms, stifling creativity and hindering innovative thinking.

Innovation and Open-Mindedness

Open-mindedness, a key component of innovative thinking, is directly linked to the

flexibility of our mental frames. An open mind allows for the exploration of

unconventional ideas, the questioning of established norms, and the willingness to

embrace ambiguity. On the other hand, closed or rigid mental frames can create

resistance to change, making it challenging to adapt to new concepts and hindering the

innovative mindset.
Cultural and Societal Influences

Our cultural and societal backgrounds significantly contribute to the formation of our

mental frames. These influences shape our values, expectations, and beliefs, impacting

how we approach challenges and opportunities. A diverse and inclusive set of mental

frame within a group or organization can foster a rich environment for innovation by

bringing together a range of perspectives and ideas.

Overcoming Limiting Mental Frames

Recognizing and challenging limiting mental frames is crucial for unlocking innovation

potential. Techniques such as mindfulness, exposure to diverse perspectives, and

fostering a culture of continuous learning can help broaden mental frames. Encouraging

interdisciplinary collaboration and creating spaces for open dialogue can also break

down mental barriers, allowing for the emergence of innovative ideas.

Mental framing is how you see any given situations and occurs when you position your

thoughts in such a way as to convince yourself of the value of difficult situation.

Our mental frames are powerful determinants of our determination capability.

Acknowledging the impact of these cognitive structures is essential for fostering a

culture of creativity and continuous improvement. By understanding, challenging, and

expanding our mental frames, we can unlock new possibilities and propel ourselves

toward a future where innovation flourishes, unencumbered by the limitations of narrow

perspectives.
 Cognitive theories and psychological frameworks offer insights into the formation and

maintenance of mental frames, shedding light on the underlying processes that shape

individuals‟ perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes.

According to schema theory, individuals organize knowledge into mental frameworks

called schemas, which help interpret and process incoming information. Schemas

are formed through experiences, cultural influences, and social interactions. They

guide attention, memory, and interpretation of stimuli, contributing to the formation

and maintenance of mental frames.

INTERPLAYING BETWEEN MORAL THEORIES AND MENTAL FRAMES

1. Formation and influence

1.1. Moral theories: moral theories provide individuals with framework for understanding

right and wrong.

1.2. Mental frames: mental frames influenced by cultural, social, and environmental

factors, provide cognitive schemas through which individuals interpret moral

situation.

There have been several real-life cases studies where ethics and principles were not

followed in the context of the internet. For example, Marilyn A. Dyrud discusses historical

cases such as the triangle shirtwaist factory fire, the cocoanut grove night club fire, and the

west warwick night club fire, highlighting the failure to learn from past mistakes.
IMPORTANCE OF MORAL THEORIES AND MENTAL FRAMES

Moral theories are frameworks for understanding what is right and wrong, good and bad, just

and unjust. There are many different moral theories including consequentialism, deontology,

virtue ethics, care ethics, and more. Each theory offers a different perspectives on how we

should make a moral decisions and what factors we should consider. Mental frames, on the

other hand, are cognitive structures that helps us interpret and understand information. They

shape how we perceive and react to different situations. Both moral theories and mental

frames are important because they help us navigate complex ethical issues and make

informed decisions. By understanding different moral theories, we can better understand our

own values and beliefs, as well as those of others. Mental frames help us process and

interpret information, allowing us to make sense of the world around us. Together, those

tools can help us lead more ethical and meaningful lives.

Moral theories and mental frames play significant roles in a wide range of disciplines

including ethics, psychology, sociology, and beyond.
