Morality

Morality refers to possessing a knowledge of and a responsibility to live by a set of values and beliefs that are shared by a group or community. It normally contains the assumption that all who share those beliefs will behave in ways that benefit the community and will not behave in ways that at odds with the rights and interests of other members of the community. For example, it is generally accepted that stealing and murder, amongst other major offenses, are not in the best interests of society.
