Influence of Culture and Emotions

To what extent is the knowledge we employ to justify ethical decisions influenced by culture and emotion?

From generation to generation, we build up our family history and bring up our own individual culture. Our emotions are determined moslty by our past exspirience’s and how we were brough up(culture). But if you would be put into a critical situation in which you have a matter of seconds to make a choice, you will not count on your emotions, because so much presure is put on you, intead, you will try and think of simular dessisions that people from your past might have made that were succecful. But the range of those influential people are limited because they are usually either from your race/ country/ time period. The extent of the knowledge we employ to justify ethical decisions influenced by culture is very high and but is sometimes mostly based on the situation you are in. If the time period you have to think of a solution to a problem is longer, you will have more time to get an emotional aspect of it. On the other hand, if the time period is short, your will have a critical mindset and usually the truth comes when a person is put under pressure.
