Morality

Moralites foundation is derived from what I believe are societies "tribes" as quoted in Robert Wrights Why Cant We All Just Get Along. These "tribes" make up the people we hang around the general setting of our upbringing. Morality comes from what we see, and what were taught from the people closest to us. Morality is what reveals the characteristics within us such as ethics, integrity, and honesty. These characteristics are taught upon us through our peers, and family. The way our parents teach us to be respectful and mind our elders as well as respecting those wiser. While some others may have a different upbringing where maybe they didnt always have anyone around to guide them and show them right from wrong so their path is guided based upon the enviornment they've adapted to. Everyone will have their different moralities integrated within them by their upbringing, but that doesn't mean those moralities cant change, even for the most holy of saints.
