Abstract
The process of axiomatization of human behavior by establishing restrictive laws can be illustrated by means of the theory of the construction of valid moral positions developed by Ronald Dworkin, in which it is evident the presence of elements of coherence between the system of human beliefs. These well-structured elements underpin a valid moral, along with other common agreement, may prohibit behaviors that jeopardize the community. The purpose of the article is to undermine the principles defended by the ideological positivism, which flatly rejects the influence of public morals within a legal system" for achieving that, it is necessary to elucidate the link between conventional public morality and the regulatory system as an indissoluble bond. Under the agreement, the members of a society proscribe specific behaviors, considered as "immoral". Though superficially this is a plausible hypothesis, it becomes more complex when we try to apply it to a modern society characterized by multiculturalism.
