Morality refers to the differentiation between right and wrong intentions, decisions, and actions. Morality can derive from a particular philosophy, religion, or culture. It establishes standards of conduct and determines what behaviors are considered right or wrong, as well as what provides benefit or harm to groups rather than just individuals. Non-moral standards govern individual aspirations and desires and help define a person's place within their group through rules about things like etiquette, aesthetics, and games. Moral standards deal with issues that can seriously affect others, are not dependent on authority, are valued over self-interest, and can lead to feelings of guilt.

belives should be universal. Morality can also
be called to be synonymous with “rightness” or
“goodness”.

6.  Descriptive:-Different societies have
different moral standards.
 Normative:-This action is wrong in this
society,but it is right in the another.
 Analytic:-Morality is relative.
 All these statements are about ethical
relativism.
 The idea that moral standards are different
from person to person or from society to
society.

7.  In descriptive ethics,it is simply observed
that different societies have different
standards-this is true and factual statement
which offers no judgements or conclusions.
 In normative ethics,a conclusion is drawn
from the above ,namely that the very
nature of morality is that is relative.This
position argues that there are no moral
standards independent of our social
groups.and hence whatever social group
decides is right is right and whatever
decides is wrong is wrong.
