I don't know anything about philosophy; and I'll be a liar if I said that I'm interested in it. To me; life is pretty much obvious; the shortest simple path is always the correct one; so no need for mazes and complications of what is simple.
But a confrontation of opinion always take place, and always fills this forum about "morality"; is it "subjective or objective", what makes a moral code better than the other...etc.
I think the answer is pretty simple: the conclusion of the action is what tells us if it's "morally good" or "morally bad".
A matter of weighing of the act's pros against cons.
Let's take sex without an official contract. That type of sex is enjoyable, allows for more freedom in picking up the partner, go easy on the person's wallet. Confronted with the cons of the possibility of producing a child, and the possibility of hurting a current spouse emotionally to great degrees.
Judging the act as "morally good" or "morally bad" is subjective. Take me: personally; I would never cause misery to a yet-to be born infant; and ruin his/her childhood through making them go through the pain of the absence of a parent, just because I wanted to enjoy myself.
But; that is subjective; totally. Others might not see it this way; others might consider my care "too much and mannered".
And measure on all other acts. The conclusion is what decides what's morally good from what's morally bad. It's subjective in its core; and a majority of people adapting the act does not mean it's an objective matter; but lots of subjective opinions that formed a fist disguised in objectivity.
