Abstract

This article aims to investigate the integrity taking into account the relationship between culture and psychology. The conceptual framework is very sophisticated because of the wide range of studies from philosophy, education, psychology, communication, linguistic and semiotics, neurosciences, law, and so on. The multiplicity of efforts to design meta-ethics and the international needs to assume some principles and guidelines reveal the importance of the approach. The text from the Bible about Martha and Mary – a moral dilemma – becomes the start point of the investigation. The text could be considered a story, a case-study in terms of meta-ethics, a problem-solving or a hypothesis to examine moral brain. The qualitative analysis of the findings offer –despite the difficulty of moral reasoning – academically substantial inferences regarding legal decisions. For example, each judicial case could use in ethical reasoning, the similar routes of moral reasoning. The target population (660 students) was invited to critically assess the position of Martha and the position of Mary, then to explain their moral judgment behind the answer. The application stimulates moral thinking and critical thinking. To conclude, moral cognition is related to moral communication. There are various advantages for empirical work taking into account the transferability and the generalizability of findings. It is important that the formula of moral communication pretext can be adapted to suit a wide variety of research situations and various purposes.
