Morality (from the Latin moralitas «manner, character, proper behavior») – is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are good (or right) and those that are bad (or wrong). A moral code is a system of morality (according to a particular philosophy, religion, culture, etc.) and a moral is any one practice or teaching within a moral code. The adjective moral is synonymous with «good» or «right». Immorality is the active opposition to morality (i.e. good or right), while amorality is variously defined as an unawareness of, indifference toward, or disbelief in any set of moral standards or principles.

Two centuries later Jonathan Swift said he was «the person of the greatest virtue this kingdom ever produced», a sentiment with which Samuel Johnson agreed.

Up to the age of seven, we are like sponges, absorbing everything around us and accepting much of it as true, especially when it comes from our parents.
