The word morality came to us from the Latin moralitas - tradition, folk custom, morality, morality. Norov - we are still talking about a bright character. In the usual sense, everything that is right, good, and good is moral. Immoral means evil, evil, unjust - wrong.
The formation of morality occurs in the process of historical development of human society as a whole, nation, nationality, large or small settlement.
Moral norms are determined by the ideas of the survival of an ethnic group, an attempt to create mutual tolerance and, if possible, mutual respect.
The most universal moral values are respected respect for old age, respect for parents, parental sacrifice in relation to their children, caring for the sick.
These postulates contribute to the continuation of the genus, and therefore are fundamental. Non-observance of these moral principles is condemned by society and is sometimes severely punished.
Also common to almost all nations are moral principles that affect the issues of building and organizing families and family relationships.
The family hierarchy, the distribution of responsibilities were arranged in such a way that almost all peoples have a woman, a mother - the guardian of the hearth. The man is the earner and protector of the clan.
A woman, moreover, is the personification of family purity, honor and conscience.
In the recent past, great importance was attached to questions of virginity - the purity of a girl entering into marriage. This deprived the man of reason and the opportunity to reproach his wife, which, of course, contributed to the strength of family ties. The issue of the purity of the bride was by no means a matter of personal relationships between the young. This aspect of high morality, premarital purity of the future mother of the family was controlled by the public.
The fact of marrying a virgin, virgin, did not allow her husband to further accuse his wife of infidelity and drive him out of the house. Since her further moral development, according to society, depended on her husband, on himself. And the society protected these traditions and forced to read.
At certain stages in the development of society, moral values may change. Sometimes - dramatically. Remember the documentary Vitaly Mansky "Virginity". Remember the tormenting scene of a conversation in the passenger compartment of the author and the heroine who decided to sell her virginity for $ 3, 000.
This is not a dark farm girl. Her mother is a school teacher. She herself is well-read, speaks well and well. Skillfully silent - long pauses should show inner struggle, torment of conscience. However, the cynical fact that for $ 500 "from above" she agreed to put her shame to the whole world, makes you strongly doubt the sincerity of such a struggle.
Change and the loss by society of established moral principles are changing this very society not for the better. This is noted by both sociologists and ordinary people, and statistics also indicate this. Demography is particularly sensitive. In countries where the highest principle was the desire to get rich by any means, families are fragile and unstable, fertility is steadily declining.
Nothing personal just business! What could be more cynical of such a motto ?!
