Question

How can I be a good source of morality to others? Cite concrete examples

Answer 1

Morality is the standard of society used to decide what is right or wrong behavior. An example of morality is the belief by someone that it is wrong to take what doesn't belong to them, even if no one would know. Moral is defined as a principle that governs right and wrong or the lesson of a fable. An example of moral is the commandment "Thou shalt not kill." An example of moral is "Slow and steady wins the race" from "The Tortoise and the Hare." True moral behavior involves a number of internal processes that are best developed through warm, caring parenting with clear and consistent expectations, emphasis on the reinforcement of positive behaviors rather than the punishment of negative ones, modeling of moral behavior by adults, and creation of opportunities. Of the sources of morality and ethics external the individual we have primarily the influences of the home, the schools, the press and movies, the law, the restraint of the social presence, innate human goodness or the absence of innate human badness, and the church.
