What is the difference between people and other animals? 00:00:01
Maybe you thought about intelligence, and yes, it is true that we are more intelligent 00:00:05
than animals, but there is also a very important difference, because people are free while 00:00:09
animals follow their instinct. 00:00:15
Think about this difference for a moment. 00:00:18
Animals act from necessity. 00:00:22
What happens to them is coded in their DNA, in their genes. 00:00:25
That's what we call instinct, a prefixed behavior that cannot be changed. 00:00:29
If a lion is very hungry, it will kill because it needs to eat. 00:00:36
It would be absurd to punish the lion sending it to jail because it killed another animal, 00:00:43
because the lion is simply following its instinct, acting from necessity, doing what is necessary to do in order to eat. 00:00:50
But people are different. We don't act from necessity. We act freely. We can decide what to do. 00:00:59
This intelligence we have can also help us to decide what to do. 00:01:06
So we have free will, that is, the ability to decide what to do, the capacity to choose our actions. 00:01:11
this creates an enormous difference between people and animals because we can be punished 00:01:20
and blamed for what we did because we could have chosen to act in a different way freedom implies 00:01:27
responsibility if you're free you decide what to do then you're responsible of your choices 00:01:36
What does the word responsibility mean? The word responsibility comes from 00:01:42
respond and this means that we have the necessity of giving an explanation a 00:01:48
justification of our choices and it also means that we have to face the 00:01:55
consequences of what we did repairing the possible harm that our actions did 00:02:01
to other people. The fact that people can choose what to do, the fact that we're free, 00:02:07
creates a lot of problems because freedom can interfere with another people. So there are a 00:02:14
lot of problems, a lot of conflicts in our social coexistence, and they come because we're free 00:02:21
agents, because we have freedom. That's why we need rules to organize our social coexistence. 00:02:27
We need norms to determine what is right and what is wrong. 00:02:34
But there are different types of norms, of rules, and it's important that you understand this difference. 00:02:39
There are, on the one hand, moral rules and, on the other hand, legal rules. 00:02:46
Moral rules, morality, is made by your conscience. 00:02:54
Moral rules are the rules that you make by yourself, 00:02:59
that tell you what you personally think that is right or wrong. 00:03:03
So these rules are autonomous, they are made by you. 00:03:09
And if you don't obey them, what happens? 00:03:13
Nobody is going to punish you, but think about it for a while. 00:03:16
You want to be an honest person. 00:03:20
What happens if you tell a lie? 00:03:22
Nobody punishes you, but you feel bad. 00:03:25
You feel regret and remorse because you broke your own moral rules. 00:03:27
Legal rules are very different. 00:03:35
Legal rules are not made by you. 00:03:37
They are made by the authorities, the government, the principal of the school, your teacher, 00:03:39
your parents. 00:03:45
So they are heteronymous. 00:03:47
They are not autonomous rules. 00:03:49
and if you break these rules 00:03:52
you can be punished 00:03:55
because the law is for everybody 00:03:57
it is not personal 00:03:59
