PRO: Sets a behavioral standard for society, in which all people are treated equal.\nCON: morality can be subjective, and what might be good for one culture may not necessarily carry the same weight with another (look at the US compared to Saudi Arabia)

Actually good and bad boil down to perception of the person.  For some what is good to them is bad for another and the other way around.  It just depends on the person and their perception of it.

How does the negative portrayal affect your understanding?  Your understanding should be based on facts, not on negative or positive portrayals....in other words, look at both sides of every issue and remember that the 'victors' are usually the ones who wrote the history books which means that you will take it with a grain of salt.  As you know, there's good and bad in all races.  There's a debate whether morality is ingrained before we were born or was it something we learned from our parents and environment?  I don't know why i threw that it, but i wanted to put it on the table anyway.

Been reading Plato's Socratic dialogue with Euthyphro?  The question is: Is something good because it is loved by God(s), or is something loved by God(s) because it is good?  It's a delicious paradox.  Since I'm an atheist, I answer it by saying that morality stems from that which is considered good  in the society in which one is brought up.  Immorality stems from that which is considered wrong in that same society.  Right and wrong are not absolutes, but also not under the control of any beings other than ourselves.

No, Morality is personal.  Rules are for everyone.\n\nRules can be set to try and set some kind of moral backing, but it is up to the person whether or not they want to follow the rules.

I think you make some interesting points - words definitely have limitations for the definer and the interpretter.  Its always a rhetoric game and only real thieves hide behind definitions to justify their actions.  As for morality - this is not a truth - it is a social norm - and each society determines what is or isn't moral based on their level of consciousness.  As long as we are trapped in words - we are limiting our consciousness.

I believe there is an Absolute Truth for certain things, the question however is can we discover it? As far as "Absolute Morality" then there are too many ways to look at it.

Morality is a personal choice issue.  You have to decide what it is you believe in and how strongly you believe in it.  It is your life and it is time for you to start laying the foundation for your future and how you want others to see you.

Good and evil are judgements.  People make judgements all the time, whether they live in a "civilized society" or not.  Of course, what makes a society "civilized" is that its morality has evolved over time.  As society progresses, we figure out more things that work and more things that are counterproductive.  Remember, it was only recently that women had the right to vote.

Morality is usually concerned with personal issue whereas ethics is concerned when issue takes into account another person.

Tough question...In my opinion, a good person is someone who treats people fairly, not necessarily good, but how they would want to be treated in any situation.  I also appreciate someone who will tell me like it is and not blow sunshine up my butt.  I guess they would have to be morally correct as well.

I believe that it is benificial to have a strong respect for the doctrine that Good is good and Bad is bad.\n\nAdder_Astros\nPowerful Member of the House of Light.\n[]xxxxx[];;;;;;;;;;;;;;>.\nhttp://www.adderastros.com

I would say morality is taking a backseat to technology.  I don't agree that a decline in morality is due to technological innovation, but you hit the nail on the head with the Rome comparison.  History tells us that society as a whole reaches a plateau, then starts to decline.  \nGood question.

morality - is defined as society's guidelines for conduct and for right from wrong. They are otherwise known as ethics. Each society in the world has different ethical boundaries and moral grounds for their conduct and actions. ie: in Muslim countries, women are generally surpressed and must be robed in public, in some European countries, there are places where women are allowed to walk around fully nude with no issues.\nIt is up to each person to decide their own moral code and ethics rules, however, if you diverge too far from what society expects, you are judged and will be made accountable to society's rules.

Satisfying basic needs brings contentment, but 'good' is a very subjective term. One mans 'goodness' is another mans interference. Most people prefer to have what they need and then determine their own subsequent conduct and beliefs.
