What are "morals" to you? (fedia.io)

Someone told me that countries are becoming "less moral" and I have no idea what to do with that opinion, because I don't know what it is they mean with "morals". So what do morals mean to you?

Morality is a quite concrete set of rules.

This is only true if you believe in the morality of just one thing. Like the morality of the Catholic church vs the morality of any other religion.

Morality is subjective. You may be confusing it with ethics. Morals are your own sense of right and wrong, while ethics are codified. And even ethics will vary from organization to organization.
