Abstract
As a fundamental conception, moral obligation includes two levels named as moral obligation with nature of being fulfilled and with nature of fulfilling. The former belongs to the lower level, and it requires people to fulfill some fundamental moral obligations in current society. But the latter belongs to the higher level and it requires people to try to stride forward towards the feeling of respecting obligation. But no matter which level it is, moral obligation is very important in real life. Therefore, we should develop our feelings of moral obligation from personal moral cultivation and social institutional security, which is a prerequisite condition in ensuring social relations among people.
