Q.4 What is public morality? Is public morality at time antithetical to individual rights? Critically examine. (10 Marks)

Mentor’s Comments-

In the introduction, give a simple elaboration on the concept of public morality. 

In the body, write about aspects such as what is accepted within the realms of public morality, whether it is static and indestructible by quoting few examples. Influence of public morality on legislations and the changes with time such as legalisation of same sex marriage etc. can be mentioned.

Conclude by stating that society evolves with time and thus the public morality also takes its shape, however certain historically sustainable values must be preserved as well.

      Introduction is fine. Contradiction part is also fine, examples have been mentioned. First point can be framed better, you cannot say that hate speech is allowed under article 19(recently SC has also emphasized upon the need to differentiate between hate speech and freedom of speech). Sabarimala temple exam can be given where individual rights has recently trumped over so called public or ‘religious’ morality. LGBTQ rights, living relationships can also be used to explain your points better.
      Other points are fine.
      After that mention a way forward, where you can talk about maintaining a balance between both public morality and individual rights.
      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep practicing. 🙂
