Best Answer

Moral [ethical] claims are claims about important values.

Not all value judgments are moral judgments. If you prefer Orange Juice to grapefruit juice, that is a value judgment but it's not an important one.

By way of contrast, if you prefer that women should be able to choose whether or not to have an abortion rather than being forced to bring a fetus to term when they are pregnant, that is a value judgment that qualifies as a moral judgment because it is about something important.

Why do homeowner insurance companies add a surcharge for a claim from different home?

They generally do not. It just depends on the type of claims you filed while in that previous home. Claims that result from natural occurrences (Wind, Hail, lightning, etc) are not surcharged against you. These types of losses are beyond our control. Claims that result from negligence, apathy, lack of maintenance, lack of moral or lifestyle will be. this is because these types of claims are attributable to the owners own actions or in-action and not the home or it's geographic location.
