    Human Person as Moral Agent

    The term “Moral”comes from the Latin word “mores” which refers to
    society’s pattern, standards, rules of doing things. In Sociology, Mores is a sub-
    component of social norms. On the other hand,  “Agent” comes from  a Latin
    word “Agere” which means “to do, or act.”   
    Therefore, Moral Agent is one who performs an act in accordance to
    standards (moral). Moral Agent is a moral actor, one who acts morally.
    A Moral Agent is “a being who is capable of those actions that have
    moral quality and which can be properly denominated good or evil in a moral
    sense.” Only a moral agent is capable of human act. That is why morality is for
    man as a rational and spiritual being.(Corpuz)
