Nietzsche's Genaology: Master Morality vs. Slave Morality

Master Morality was established by a spontaneous creation of values. According to Nietzsche, the origin of moral good is just the origin about judgments about what is 'good'. He asserts that it is most likely that the noble, high-born people in power first took up a pathos of distance, or dominating attitude, towards the low-born, weak people. By claiming what is 'good' for themselves, they decided that everything opposite of them was 'bad'.

Slave Morality was established as a reaction to master morality. The lower classes, having experienced years of ressentiment (resentment and thirst for revenge) towards the upper classes, decided that those in power were 'evil'. First defining what is evil with characteristics opposite of their own characteristics, they then defined 'good' with the characteristics that they themselves possessed.
