Without humans, there is no concept of morality. If there are no humans, nothing can be properly evaluated to be moral or immoral. Thus, morality is in totality tied to humanity, be it by being a construction made by humans or some other way.
Do you agree with these sentiments? Why or why not?

If you're having such thoughts there's a man named Stirner who you might like to read.
What about aliens?

Kind of like what you're touching on.
A manmade abstraction.
You'd have to ask yourself, how likely is it that aliens would be similar enough to us to have a concept of morality?
WOW LANGUAGE IS MANMADE, MORE AT 12
It's impossible to say if some kind of animal has a notion of morality or not. Even if moral is a human feature only, it is totally relative therefore a construct.
Ethic is something else and may be universal.
Sure morality is socially constructed in some way.
But so is mathematics and language, and it doesn't make them any less real.
What's the difference between morals and ethics?
There's a common agreement that you're posting a forced meme.
Ethics is just the philosophical investigation of morality.
How fucking underage/stupid do you have to be to think this is even remotely worth talking about or profound?
The fact that there are schools of thought talking about it, asswipe. Now answer the question and contribute or fuck off.
There's nothing to talk about, of course its a manmade concept, you pseudo intellectual twat. Navel gazing morons like you are why humanities are laughed at by so many academics.
No morons like you who think surface level knowledge being sufficient and never challenging yourself or thinking more deeply is why.

Yes. I never understood why "morality is socially constructed" = moral nihilism. By the same logic "language is socially constructed" = linguistic nihilism.
No, why? Is that some kike meme or something?
>No nothing
If they are carbon based lifeforms with a similar evolutionary path, very likely.
Big "if" mind ye, but the basis for nearly everything we refer to as morality is part of the pack mentality shared by nearly every pack, herd, and tribal mammal on the planet. Empathy and compassion, obedience and hierarchy, are all a matter of survival for such life forms. Like nearly everything else, we just made it a whole lot more complicated.
