Moralizing Logistical Problems

Lately I have been thinking about how specific morals arise given that people frequently hold different moral viewpoints. If all morals were obvious or intuitive then there would be no conflict, but because there is conflict this must be too simple of a view of the world. Instead, I believe that underneath most morals lies a logistical problem and that the moral problem is an attempt to solve the logistical problem. However, most discussion tends to stay at the moral level, not at the level of the underlying logistical problem.
