What is the "Correct" Social Conduct?
In an issue containing so many opinions and perspectives, can there truly be a right/wrong? The concept of morality itself holds roots deep within many social aspects. Different from mores, or the socially general standards of right and wrong, it is much more complex (Leeder). "Morality" may refer to a certain "code of conduct" put forth by society in terms of behavior, or normatively, specified behaviors to be put forth in certain conditions (Gert). On a lesser level, etiquette and manners are included in morality.
So, What?
Because morality can be perceived loosely on a rational and emotional level, the true definition/implication remains vague. Morality, in its most basic form, is the combination of normal response to behavior, wide advocacy and acceptance of a code, and justification of one's actions (Gert). It is known in its purest form as the "right and wrong" that even the most heinous criminal is well aware of.
