    The process of evolution itself is certainly not the ultimate source of morality. Evolution is only the process that encodes behaviors in our moral sense and cultural moral codes that increase the benefits of cooperation in groups—the apparent function of morality in human cultures.
    2)
    Killing a murderer is not good even though you say it was justice but your wrong because when you killed someone you are also like a murderer a killer no matter what a killer is a killer it will never change once your hands are covered in blood it will never be erased yes it can be erased your body but not in your soul. Killing is wrong and once you kill someone you are just like them remember that.
    3)
    Is Killing Wrong? Provides the most comprehensive assessment of pure sociology yet attempted. Drawing on data from well over one hundred societies, including the modern-day United States, it represents the most thorough account yet of case-level social control or the response to conduct defined as wrong.
    4)
    Consensus is a group discussion where everyone's opinions are heard and understood, and a solution is created that respects those opinions. Consensus is not what everyone agrees to, nor is it the preference of the majority. Consensus results in the best solution that the group can achieve at the time

    5)
    The definition of a proposition is a statement putting forth an idea, suggestion or plan. An example of a proposition is the idea that the death penalty is a good way to stop crime. An example of a proposition is a suggestion for a change in the terms of company bylaws.
