What is the morality of a person, deed, way of thinking - this is a question to which there has never been and will not be a definite answer, since everyone judges spiritual concepts subjectively. Should one strive for morality in the modern world?
Answering a difficult question, what is morality, one has to turn to dictionaries. They say that morality is a concept similar to morality, responsibility for one’s actions, a way of normative legal regulation of human actions in society, etc.
In short, morality is the highest law by which society should live. It is much higher than the Criminal Code or the Constitution of the country. This is an unwritten law, although many wise thoughts about morality are expressed in the scriptures, clever fiction, and various philosophical works. To be moral means to live in good conscience, not to harm others in thoughts, to commit good deeds, to continuously engage in personal self-improvement.
Since childhood, moral values have been instilled in us by parents, teachers, spiritual and fiction literature, and films. The more spiritual and human society, the more truly moral individuals in it.
Modern society is experiencing a crisis of morality and culture, a global decline in morals. From the Internet, television, and modern print media, a propaganda of violence, cruelty, aggression, crime, immorality, sex, etc. literally piles on a growing up person. Schools do not pay due attention to the ethical education of adolescents, so it is not surprising that now many people do not see in others, in themselves moral principles and do not seek to cultivate them in themselves.
It is necessary to instill moral ideals in the heads of the people, but this is not easy to do. This requires competent political influence, control over the media, television and the Internet. Effective may be ways of influence from the clergy. Also a huge role in changing the mentality of the nation is played by cultural and art workers. In a word, each person must at some point decide to live according to moral laws, honestly, decently, fairly. Living in such a way that it is not embarrassing for every day you live. Then high morality will be able to gain a foothold as one of the characteristics of the nation.
