Moral vs Immoral


Moral is a term from the Latin, the "mos" are in plural form is "mores" which has meaning custom or way of life in doing a good deed (morality), and always avoid actions or things that bad. In the sense that more relevant in the pattern of human behavior, the word "moral" has meaning of the values ​​and norms that serve as guidelines for someone or a group in regulating behavior. While immoral means is custom of life in doing a bad deed,
that is anything contrary to the values ​​and norms prevailing in the community. For me, moral is an act, behavior, speech of someone in their interactions with humans. If a person does it fit with the values ​​prevailing in the community and acceptable and pleasing community, then the person is judged to have good morals, and vice versa.

Moral is a word that is quite subjective, given that everybody has different morals. To say that someone can do "good", Good must first be defined. An act of moral goodness in one person’s eyes may be abhorrent in another. As an example in our life, we often mention that the murderers, robbers, thieves are unscrupulous individuals. Whereas the person who is always obedient to the rules and behave well in society we often call them as a person who has a good moral. Actually it all depends on the values ​​and norms prevailing in the community itself. If they did what they considered to be good then they are a moral person, while those who oppose will be regarded as an immoral man.
