In any civilized society you will always find many different forms of morality and values, especially in the United States of America. In societies such as these one finds a mosaic of different religions, cultures, political alignments and socioeconomic contexts which suggests that morality and values ​​are no different. In Friedrich Nietzsche's book, Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche discusses morality and the two categories you will find underlying all varieties of morality. One category of morality focuses on the “Superior Man” and his superiority over all those below him and his caste. The second system is derived from those of a lower caste which can be used by those of higher castes to promote themselves and society. These categories, as described by Nietzsche, are known as Master Morality and Slave Morality. In this modern moment in our culture, morality is becoming a more polarizing topic than ever. Morality is often considered synonymous with religious practice and faith, although morality is an important part of religion and faith, everyone has some variation of morality, regardless of their religious affiliation or lack thereof. Friedrich Nietzsche's theories on morality, master and slave morality, describe categories of morality that can be found to underlie most variations of morality. The morality of the Master and the Slave differ completely from each other, it is not uncommon to find mixtures of both categories from one person to another. I believe that the theories of Master Morality and Slave Morality explain not only religious affiliations but also political alignments and positions on certain social issues in American society. Studying the origins and meanings of Nietzsche's theories, comparing these theories with c...... middle of paper ......y. While we understand that master morality and slave morality are only the basis of what makes up all morality and just as if our values ​​were made of interchangeable parts, we mix and match what feels right and what works for us as individuals. This basic morality that we tend to identify with will determine how we align ourselves politically, socially and religiously; since there is no true ruling class or governed class it is difficult to see the blurred lines that separate us morally. This is a product of our democratic government granting our freedoms to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but in turn allowing there to be such a dramatic difference between the richest and poorest people. The system is not perfect but what makes it wonderful is its ability to adapt and change with the times and to improve itself for the benefit of all.
