Respect your neighbor. 
Give them dignity. 
Protect those you love. 
Love your neighbor as you would yourself.
If you can't say anything nice about someone, keep your month shut.
Respect yourself. 
Give yourself dignity

Janet.

This is the opinion of Chris my roommate, who is forcing me to type
what he dictates, Under threat of severe bodily harm.  >:-)

"Morality is understanding that everyone has an opinion but
knowing that the only opinion that counts, is your own."



"I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?" - Fred Rogers

Morality is each individuals beleifs in what is right and what is wrong. I beleive ethics and morality are different. For example, rape, pedophilia, etc. are immoral. Embezzling anothers money is unethical. BTW both my exspouse and ex GF think crossdressing is immoral. What?

Then don't buy those products.  But humankind has always preyed on it's fellow man in the name of morality.  The Spaniards with the "heathen" Mayan, Aztecs, Seminole, and a host of others that were here in North America.  The Christians and the Middle East during the Crusades.  The witch trials during the Inquisition.  Slavery in America and elsewhere. The Holocaust. Stonewall. 

Morality in really the Majority group think to downplay and dehumanize another.  Morality must be a personal set of choices,  based on your own set of values.

Don't throw the last shovelful on my grave yet,
I haven't signed the insurance policy.

I have to say...
A lot of the replies seem to be an answer to the question "what is moral?" and not the question "what is morality?"

That is because people avoid morality. Morality requires that you question everyone's behavior and find out what is really going on. You accept the responsibility to learn,  point out the issues and change them. Not many people want to put morality at the top of their list.

... this is exactly what I meant.
What you replied has nothing to do with what "morality" the concept is but everything to do with what to do with it. You talk about "morals" not about what morality is.

Defining the term "morality" does not mean defining which morals are more moral than other morals and which morals are correct and why. It means explaining what "morality" is in and of itself.
