Guilt, as mentioned in the last blog, is something that must be learned at childhood in order to be able to feel it latter on in life. However, I have a new question regarding the topic of guilt.
Sometimes guilt can be used as a motivator, as was mentioned in our last class. If someone is feeling guilty for something that they have done, this can motivate them to never do this act again. It can be out of fear of feeling that feeling of guilt again or can also be out of moral efforts to be a good person and change the error of their ways.
Now the question that I pose is, in the Utilitarian mindset, does this make them a moral person by using guilt as a motivator?
