Considering the general theoretical issues of crimes against morality in the criminal law of the Republic of Kazakhstan, first of all, we should dwell on the very concept of morality. This issue is important not only from educational points, but also from the standpoint of lawmaking and law enforcement practice. The fundamental position from which one should approach assessing the content and essence of crimes in the category under consideration depends on one or another approach to solving this problem. Depending on how conceptual approaches to problem solving are formulated, both theoretical and applied aspects of regulating crimes against morality will be solved accordingly.
It should be noted that for many years there have been debates about the understanding of the category of morality. Although in literature, both scientific and non-scientific, very often they turn to problems of morality, morality and spirituality.
The question of understanding morality in a legal context in the scientific literature is still controversial.
Philosophers, like lawyers, express different views on the range of social relations that constitute the essence of morality, and therefore each of them defines this objectively existing social phenomenon in his own way.
Morality cannot be considered in isolation from the concepts of morality and spirituality. Nevertheless, the question of their identity is controversial, as well as whether these categories should be distinguished at all. In literature, morality and morality are more often interpreted as phenomena of the same order.
If we turn to existing definitions, then most often moral norms are interpreted as rules of a general nature, based on people’s ideas about good and evil, dignity, honor, justice, etc., serving as a regulator and measure for assessing the activities of individuals, social groups, and organizations.
In the sphere of ethical relations, morality acts as an internal self-regulator of an individual’s behavior, his conscious, internally motivated way of participating in social life and public relations. For example, V.S. Nersesyants states: “the distinctive feature of morality is that it expresses the internal position of individuals, their free and self-conscious decision about what is good and evil, duty and conscience in human actions, relationships and affairs” .
Moral norms act as external regulators of behavior. Thus, where an individual accepted, assimilated and transformed into his internal attitude collective moral ideas, values, norms and was guided by them in his behavior, according to philosophers, there is a combination and coordinated action of both regulators - moral and ethical. ; In principle, in ethical phenomena there are always two moments: a personal one (the internal freedom of the individual and his self-conscious motivation for the rules of moral behavior and moral assessments) and an objective, extrapersonal moment (the moral views, values, mores, forms and norms of human relations). If we proceed from this rule, then the first of the noted points relates to the characteristics of morality, the second - morality. Therefore, a certain message follows, according to which, when we talk about the morality of social groups, communities and society as a whole, we are essentially talking about morality, more precisely about group and general social mores, values, views, relationships, norms and institutions. This statement is perhaps the most common and often used in legal literature and dissertation research. ;
At the same time, being a special form of social consciousness and a type of social relations, morality is one of the ways of normative regulation of human behavior. Responsibility in morality has a spiritual, ideal or idealized character. Meaning the condemnation or approval of certain actions, moral responsibility appears in the form of moral assessments that a person must realize, internally accept and adjust his actions and behavior accordingly.
In turn, specialists in the field of legal ethics also differentiate the concepts of “morality”, “morality” and “moral consciousness”. For example, according to A.S. Koblikov, moral consciousness is one of the elements of morality, representing its subjective side.
Researcher M.S. Strogovich, speaking out against the identification of morality and moral consciousness, wrote: “Moral consciousness is views, beliefs, ideas about good and evil, about worthy and unworthy behavior, and morality is the social norms operating in society that regulate the actions, behavior of people, their relationships."
There are different approaches to understanding the nature and specifics of morality. Methodologically, two main concepts can be distinguished: historical-genetic and historical-systemic.
The historical-genetic method is one of the most common in social research. It developed based on evolutionary ideas, and its essence lies in the consistent discovery of the properties, functions and changes of the reality being studied in the process of its historical movement. In this case, the history of ethics is considered as the cyclogenesis of ethical systems, where at each stage of their development the qualitative characteristics of these systems are highlighted.
In our case, the second approach, the historical-systemic one, is of greater interest. Morality here appears as a type of spiritual and practical production of man as a social and moral being. This idea of morality leads to its recognition as a side of human life, a cross-cutting element of all (including legal) social practice. This approach emphasizes that a whole series of splits in the normative system are associated with different conditions of spiritual and practical “production” - between official and unofficial morality, between expediency and morality, between public opinion and conscience.
Such discrepancies give rise to numerous contradictions between different normative systems, including those that are the subject of our study. For example, between the personal perception of morality and the official obligatory nature of legal requirements, between a sense of moral duty and the rationality of a legal norm, etc. An individual finds himself simultaneously in several “axiological worlds,” embodying in each of them different, sometimes incompatible, assessments and aspirations.
In general, the historical-systemic model for explaining morality comes from a philosophical tradition that represents morality as an aspect of human activity based on the dichotomy of good and evil. At the same time, it does not take into account the regulatory nature of morality as an essential point of its relationship with law.
In the same vein, the outstanding Russian philosopher B.C. described the social purpose of morality. Soloviev: “The moral principle itself prescribes that we should care about the common good, since without this, concerns about personal morality become selfish, i.e. immoral. The commandment of moral perfection,” the philosopher asserted, “is given to us ... so that we do something to implement it in the environment in which we live, i.e., in other words, the moral principle must certainly be embodied in social activity.”
Meanwhile, as follows from the above definitions, morality, like morality, is always social in content and is closely related to the rules of law. For example, S.A. Komarov believes that public morality rests on a system of norms and rules, ideas, customs and traditions that prevail in society and reflect views, ideas and rules that arise as a direct reflection of the conditions of social life in the minds of people in the form of categories of good and evil, praiseworthy and shameful, encouraged and condemned by society, honor, conscience, duty, dignity, etc.
Morality in the Big Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language, edited by S.A. Kuznetsov is understood as the internal (spiritual and emotional) qualities of a person, based on the ideals of goodness, duty, honor, etc., which manifest themselves in relation to people or nature. Human spirituality is component morality. Very often the concept of spirituality is equated with religion. This is most likely due to the fact that we are talking about the human soul, its subordination to certain higher powers. Let us leave this teaching to the theologians. We state the fact that spirituality is woven into the fabric of morality and is inseparable from it.
The spirituality of a person, personality, individual is revealed through self-knowledge of one’s own being, one’s own behavior, one’s own feelings and one’s own desires. A highly spiritual person is not capable of actions that do not correspond to his inner feeling and are not consistent with his reason. A person’s spiritual life is connected with knowledge of the world, purpose and meaning of life. With a lack of understanding of these categories, and more often with a loss of the meaning of life, a loss of one’s own “I,” crises of a person’s spiritual health may occur. And this, in turn, requires treatment, which is what modern psychology does, i.e. healing the soul. Let's leave this topic to psychologists and return to the concepts of morality and morality.
Based on the above, it should be noted that morality and ethical categories are not identical. Morality should be considered in conjunction with spirituality.
A fairly clear position on this issue is set out in S. Harutyunyan’s work “Identity: from theory to practice.” Exploring the cultural interpretation of the identity crisis, she tried to compare morality and morality. At the same time, he finds them to be completely different, non-identical concepts. In her opinion:
1) morality is always a social group phenomenon: the morality of a family, a formed social group, class morality, etc.
Morality is always universal, there is no morality of a group, class, or party;
2) morality is a set of norms and regulations of a social group imposed from the outside. Morality “grows” from within and has nothing to do with norms and standards;
3) morality is a means of regulating social behavior and was created primarily for management. Morality, “growing” from within, is primarily aimed at oneself. If morality is directed outward, then morality is directed inward;
4) a moral act is assessed from the outside and can be either rewarded or punished. A moral act is beyond punishment and reward; there is always self-attitude and self-esteem.
Experiences associated with an immoral act are always externally oriented and have nothing to do with deep personal experiences. An act associated with moral feelings always has an intrapersonal basis. It's hard to disagree with this opinion. Of course, morality and morality are not some static indicators of human life. They are subject to constant movement and development. During the course of his life, an individual must choose and structure his actions in accordance with the rules and norms of behavior established in society, taking into account his own existing (or developing) spiritual and moral perception of the world. Therefore, spiritual and moral development plays important role in the course of a person's life. Perhaps this is a somewhat simplified formula for the process of human self-realization. But within the framework of this study, we have made an attempt to define the concepts and categories of the phenomenon being studied, the mechanisms for their implementation in conditions of sociocultural instability and a moral crisis.
The process of interaction between morality and ethics during personal growth is in a state of conflict if a person has developed morality. “The absence of conflict,” writes S. Harutyunyan, “indicates that personal growth is not happening; the difficulty of resolving this conflict is presented as the difficulty of personal growth. The normal organic personal attitude in these conflicts is the primacy of morality over morality. Ultimately, the relationship between morality and morality is the central and most complex problem of personality development, which must be solved on the basis of practical psychology, philosophy, and pedagogy. At the same time, the lack of spirituality is an obstacle to personal development.”
Summarizing the above, we can come to the following conclusions.
1. Morality and ethics are not identical categories. Morality as a universal category always has an intrapersonal basis. Morality acts as a set of instructions for society.
2. The spiritual and moral development of a person ensures him mental health and should be considered in the context of the object of the attack in criminal law in the group of crimes against morality.
Good is a moral expression of what contributes to the happiness of people. The concept of “good” is opposed to the concept of “evil”. Good and evil appear as normative-evaluative concepts and phenomena, and depending on what is subject to evaluation, they distinguish virtues that have moral value and vices that do not contain it. The most famous sets of virtues include wisdom, courage, moderation, justice; Christian virtues of faith, hope, love, repentance and humility, mercy and compassion; virtues of nonviolence ethics: tolerance, consent, understanding. Manifestations of goodness in life are associated with the values of health, peace, ideas of altruism, voluntary action, obligation, and treating a person as a goal. To manifestations evil include various shapes destructiveness and deviations, hostility and indifference towards a person, treating him as a means, sinfulness and depravity, selfish orientations.
Justice- this is the general moral sanction of the joint life of people, considered mainly from the point of view of clashing desires, interests, responsibilities; justice is a morally sanctioned proportionality in the distribution of benefits and burdens of people's joint life, the degree of perfection of the very method of cooperating activities and mutual balancing of conflicting interests in society and the state. Justice requires punishment for evil and reward for good.
Happiness. There are many definitions of it in various dictionaries and encyclopedias. This is explained by the capacity, depth, versatility of this concept and the inevitable subjectivity of its assessment. “Happiness is a concept denoting the highest good as a completed, self-sufficient state of life; the generally accepted final subjective goal of human activity" (Guseinov A. A. Happiness // New Philosophical Encyclopedia. M., 2001. T. 3). The most concise and succinct is the current definition of happiness as the absence of unhappiness, or life without grief, according to V. I. Dahl.
Conscience- a person’s ability, critically assessing himself, to realize and experience his inconsistency with what he should have - failure to fulfill his duty; Phenomenological manifestations of conscience are internal emotional discomfort (“reproaches, pangs of conscience”), guilt and repentance.
Duty inseparable from the individual’s awareness of it as his internal task. A conscious subject perceives debt as a split in consciousness into “I want” and “I must.” This is a bifurcation - necessary condition its functioning. Duty denotes a morally reasoned compulsion to act, a moral necessity fixed as a subjective principle of behavior.
Honor(according to V.I. Dahl) is the inner moral dignity of a person, valor, honesty, nobility of soul and clear conscience. The content of this concept also includes the ability to keep one’s word and fulfill one’s duty. The understanding of honor is determined by a person’s position in a specific social environment, therefore there is no single code of honor that is equivalent for everyone. Social-group, class, national, professional and other social relations have a decisive influence on the formation of codes of honor (for example, the noble code of honor included satisfaction, satisfaction of claims associated with an insult to the dignity of the individual; this required a duel, ending in injury or death one of the opponents).
The considered concepts of morality (or morality), together with similar concepts, form the most important part of the science of ethics.
Ethics - This is a philosophical science, the object of study of which is morality, morality as a form of social consciousness. Ethics explores the place of morality in the system of other social relations, analyzes its nature and internal structure, studies the origin and historical development of morality, and theoretically substantiates one or another of its systems (Philosophical Encyclopedic Dictionary. M., 1989. P. 776.). Ethics includes, in addition to the philosophical analysis of morality and the history of ethical teachings, normative ethics, the theory of moral education, as well as general methodological problems of professional and applied ethics, issues of sociology and moral psychology.
Professional ethics plays a big role in the lives of people, in the activities of specialists - doctors, scientists, engineers, etc. As an example of professional ethics, we can consider the ethics of scientists, which is associated with the search for truth, solving scientific problems, as well as with relationships between colleagues. Here, despite the originality, mainly general moral and ethical principles operate, especially if disputes and discussions arise. There are many facts indicating that within the scientific community, moral principles are sometimes violated. Let us recall, for example, the discussion that once took place on the problems of genetics between the school of N. I. Vavilov and the views of T. D. Lysenko and his followers. On one side, as history has shown, there was a promising concept, that is, truth, on the other - the concept of a mechanolamarckian property, that is, error. Unfortunately, in the 40s the second concept won. Here moral principles of opposite nature collided.
Morally contradictory situations sometimes arise in the scientific communities of Western countries. University of California professor T. Shibutani, for example, states the peculiar environment in which representatives of social psychology work: “Some of those who occupy key positions in highly valued organizations create entire intellectual empires... As in many other circles, ambitious scientists often form factions. Sometimes differences are discussed openly, in dignified critiques, but consideration of alternative hypotheses, especially when the evidence is not clear, often results in vindictive personal quarrels... Sadistic criticism of views that differ from those of the leaders of the field often results in widespread opportunism. Those who defend unorthodox theories are subject to negative social sanctions, in much the same way as heretics in the religious world" (Shibutani T. Social psychology. M., 1969, pp. 501-502).
A normal ethical atmosphere within a well-organized team includes taking into account the fact that scientific creativity is by its nature anti-conformist. At the same time, moderate conformism, as some scientists argue, is always necessary. In any case, the morality of a scientist, no matter what place he occupies in the scientific hierarchy, should be the morality of not an individualist, not an egoist, hostile to dissent, but the morality of an honest and decent person. Search difficulty truth in science, achieving grains of truth through systems of relatively reliable knowledge by overcoming inevitable errors requires the researcher to have such qualities as objectivity, intellectual honesty, kindness, integrity, masculinity, self-criticism.
The concept itself "true" in the Russian language it is not limited to reason (rationality), but has a side that leads it to moral ideas. IN " Explanatory dictionary living Great Russian language" by V. I. Dahl, "truth" is explained as "everything that is true, authentic, accurate, fair"; “Now this word is answered by truth”; “...true - constituting the truth; truthful, fair, undoubted, unfalse, sincere, unfeigned” (Vol. 2. P. 60). Truthfulness and justice must be inherent in a true seeker of truth. The first requirement of the spirit of science is objectivity as a necessary component of developed morality. Academician A.D. Aleksandrov notes that the desire to find the truth, disseminate and establish it among people turns out to be an essential element of the moral position towards people (Truth as a moral value // Science and Values. Novosibirsk. 1987, pp. 27-35). Knowledge of the truth enriches a person and allows him to better navigate reality. Therefore, lying is not just contrary to the truth. The one who lies, robs a person, prevents him from understanding what is happening and finding right paths, constrains his freedom, imposes on him the foundations of a distorted view of reality. Distortion and concealment of the truth have always served to oppress the individual. Disrespect for the truth, indifference to it express disrespect, indifference to people; one must completely despise people in order to speak to them with aplomb, without caring about the truth. The concept itself "Truth", writes A.D. Alexandrov, covers both objective and moral truth, both objective truth and moral rightness. In the depths of the people's consciousness, these concepts are closely connected, and if we now understand their deep difference, then we must also understand their deep connection. Without truth there can be no moral rightness, and truth cannot be discovered and established without the same condition of objectivity that is implied in serious morality.

Every person in his life has encountered the concept of morality more than once. However, not everyone knows its true meaning. In the modern world, the problem of morality is very acute. After all, many people lead an incorrect and dishonest lifestyle. What is human morality? How does it relate to concepts such as ethics and morality? What behavior can be considered moral and why?
What does the concept of “morality” mean?
Very often morality is identified with morality and ethics. However, these concepts are not entirely similar. Morality is a set of norms and values of a particular person. It includes an individual’s ideas about good and evil, about how one should and should not behave in various situations.
Each person has his own criteria of morality. What seems completely normal to one is completely unacceptable to another. So, for example, some people have a positive attitude towards civil marriage and do not see anything bad in it. Others consider such cohabitation immoral and sharply condemn premarital relationships.
Principles of moral behavior
Despite the fact that morality is purely individual concept, in modern society there are still common principles. First of all, these include the equality of rights of all people. This means that there should be no discrimination against a person on the basis of gender, race or any other basis. All people are equal before the law and the court, everyone has the same rights and freedoms.
The second principle of morality is based on the fact that a person is allowed to do everything that does not contradict the rights of other people and does not infringe on their interests. This includes not only issues regulated by law, but also moral and ethical standards. For example, deceiving a loved one is not a crime. However, from a moral point of view, the one who deceives causes suffering to the individual, and therefore infringes on his interests and acts immorally.
The meaning of morality
Some people believe that morality is only a necessary condition for going to heaven after death. During life, it has absolutely no effect on a person’s success and does not bring any benefit. Thus, the meaning of morality lies in cleansing our soul from sin.
In fact, such an opinion is erroneous. Morality is necessary in our lives not only for a specific person, but also for society as a whole. Without it, there will be arbitrariness in the world, and people will destroy themselves. As soon as eternal values disappear in a society and habitual norms of behavior are forgotten, its gradual degradation begins. Theft, debauchery, and impunity flourish. And if immoral people come to power, the situation worsens even more.
Thus, the quality of life of humanity directly depends on how moral it is. Only in a society where basic moral principles are respected and observed can people feel secure and happy.
Morals and ethics
Traditionally, the concept of “morality” is identified with morality. In many cases, these words are used interchangeably, and most people do not see a fundamental difference between them.
Morality represents certain principles and standards of behavior of people in various situations, developed by society. In other words, it is a public point of view. If a person follows established rules, he can be called moral, but if he ignores, his behavior is immoral.
What is morality? The definition of this word differs from morality in that it does not apply to society as a whole, but to each individual person. Morality is a rather subjective concept. What is the norm for some is unacceptable for others. A person can be called moral or immoral based only on his personal opinion.
Modern morality and religion
Everyone knows that any religion calls a person to virtue and respect for basic moral values. However modern society puts human freedom and rights at the forefront of everything. In this regard, some of God's commandments have lost their relevance. So, for example, few people can devote one day a week to serving the Lord because of their busy schedule and fast pace of life. And the commandment “thou shalt not commit adultery” for many is a restriction on the freedom to build personal relationships.
Classic moral principles regarding the value of human life and property, help and compassion for others, condemnation of lies and envy remain in force. Moreover, now some of them are regulated by law and can no longer be justified by supposedly good intentions, for example, the fight against infidels.
Modern society also has its own moral values, which are not indicated in traditional religions. These include the need for constant self-development and self-improvement, determination and energy, the desire to achieve success and live in abundance. Modern people condemn violence in all its forms, intolerance and cruelty. They respect human rights and his desire to live as he sees fit. Modern morality places emphasis on human self-improvement, transformation and development of society as a whole.
The problem of youth morality
Many people say that modern society has already begun to decay morally. Indeed, crime, alcoholism and drug addiction are thriving in our country. Young people do not think about what morality is. The definition of this word is completely foreign to them.
Very often, modern people put values such as pleasure, an idle life and fun at the forefront of everything. At the same time, they completely forget about morality, guided only by their selfish needs.
Modern youth have completely lost such personal qualities as patriotism and spirituality. For them, morality is something that can interfere with freedom and limit it. Often people are ready to commit any act to achieve their goals, without thinking at all about the consequences for others.
Thus, today in our country the problem of youth morality is very acute. Solving it will require more than a decade and a lot of effort on the part of the government.
