The Definition of Morality, just what is it and does it apply and /or defined the same by all

I, Twinsdad, would suggest that one beings(persons) morality is not or may be not anothers morality is a cold hard fact in 2013.

The term “morality” can be used either....

1. descriptively to refer to some codes of conduct put forward by a society or,
   1. some other group, such as a religion, or
   2. accepted by an individual for her own behavior or
2. normatively to refer to a code of conduct that, given specified conditions, would be put forward by all rational persons

The "moral high ground", in ethical or political parlance, refers to the status of being respected for remaining moral, and adhering to and upholding a universally recognized standard of justice or goodness.

Social critic Robert H. Frank challenges the notion that doing well is accomplished only at the expense of doing good.

Where are we today in this melting pot of America?  Is morality something that drives us, leads us, and defines us or is morality belief based?  Is being a racist immoral?  Is being homosexual immoral?  Does owning a gun make one immoral?  Is pornography immoral?  Is killing in self defense immoral?  Is (are) government(s) immoral?  Is one beings moral another beings immoral...

Yes.

Has morality been lost in the mud and murk of the tabloid life we live, the Internet fueling wild reactions to events we would have never been aware of in real time 50 years ago.  Do governments have the right to legislate morality, in that on persons morality may not be another persons morality, does the Supreme Court of the U.S. decide rulings by a moral code.. is that code universal amongst all jurists or just the "Supreme" ones?

Where is the morality of Kent State?  Dr. King?  where is the MSM on these issues today?  Does any school anywhere in this country teach unbiased lessons, the simple stuff, the stuff we know in our hearts is "right" or "wrong"  or have the wars and the "funding" of the wars, and the racial diversities polluted our thought process so much that only living in cave hunting and growing food for only your family unit in some isolated patch of turf  the only way to keep kill or be killed out of lives.  Seattle, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas Los Angeles, Dallas, Orlando The Washington D.C. megaplex... when and how will we all get back to the feelings that "we" are doing the right thing?

Will there come a time when the race issue is no longer a playing card for headlines?  Aren't we all humans and not some "race" or "sex"?
