"El paisaje moral es el marco que utilizo para pensar en cuestiones de moralidad y valores humanos."

Simplified Meaning:

When we think about what is right and wrong or good and bad, it helps to use a method or system to guide our decisions. Imagine having a map. Just like a map helps you understand the world and find the best path to your destination, a moral framework helps you figure out the best choices in life. This map helps you decide what actions are kind, fair, and just, and which ones are harmful or unfair. For example, if you see someone drop their wallet, your moral framework would guide you to return it because honesty and kindness are valued. Without such a guide, your actions might be random or selfish. Using this system, you can compare different actions and choose one that aligns with important human values like compassion and honesty. By consistently using this 'map,' you improve your ability to make moral choices that benefit both you and the society around you.
