The opposite of morality: Two words express the opposites of morality:
- Amorality or amoral means

goodness or rightness of what they think, say or do.
- Immorality or immoral
means a person who knowingly violates societyÕs standards of morality or moral
code.
ÒThe moral compassÓ, a helpful expression
to understand morality. OneÕs morality is very much like a compass that is
used to guide a ship or aircraft.
OneÕs Òmoral compassÓ helps one stay the course of life, and live well
and successfully.
For
example, some people think that lying is okay. They think it is necessary to lie to get through life and to
ÒwinÓ in various ways. They
believe that everyone lies, so why not do the same.
Others realize that lying always harms oneself and others, and except
for rare emergency situations in which lying would save your life or that of
another person, lying is not moral behavior.
A MORAL CODE - THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
OF MOSES
Morality is usually expressed in the form of a code of behavior. It lays out basic principles of
behavior that are good for both the individual and the society.
Such codes of behavior form the basis for a stable and long-lived
society. If a society stops
teaching the moral code to its children, for example, usually the society will
soon begin to disintegrate.
The best-known example of a moral code is the Ten Commandments of
Moses and the golden rule (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you). Together, these form the basic moral
code for all of the nations of Western Europe, as well as Canada, The United
States, Australia, New Zealand, and some other modern nations.
This moral code alone has made Western civilization and culture one
of, if not the best on earth. This
is how important for a society is its moral code.
One way that enemies of a nation attack the nation is to attack its
moral code. This is exactly what
is going on in Europe, America, Canada, Australia and other Western
nations. At times, this is called
Ôthe culture warÕ.
