I had a lecture on 1st October 2009 where I leaned about the revaluation of all values which is a concept from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. On 27th November 2009, I did further research within the values and concentrated more on the origin of morality. Nietzsche does not believe that we are born with a sense of morality, or that we learn it in search of living morally or virtuously. He believes that the rich and powerful created the terms of good and evil in order to distinguish themselves as better. Nietzsche believes that the word ‘Good’ originally was what the high minded, noble, powerful and superior did. And ‘Bad’ were the actions of the plebeian, the ordinary, the inferior and the masses.
