Morality
Morality (from the
Latin "manner, character, proper behavior") is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and
actions between those that are distinguished as proper and those that are improper: In other words, it is the disjunction between right and wrong. Morality can be a body of standards or principles derived from a
code of conduct from a particular
philosophy,
religion, or
culture, or it can derive from a standard that a person believes should be universal. Morality may also be specifically
synonymous with "goodness" or "rightness."
