Our goal is to introduce moral elements by round table discussions and educational materials; some of these elements include the following: RELIGIOUS Devout, pious indicate a spirit of reverence toward God. Religious is a general word, applying to whatever pertains to faith or worship: a religious ceremony. Devout indicates a fervent spirit, usually genuine and often independent of outward observances: a deeply devout though unorthodox church member. MORAL DEVELOPMENT Moral Development focuses on the emergence, change, and understanding of morality from infancy through adulthood. Morality develops across a lifetime and is influenced by an individual’s experiences and their behavior when faced with moral issues through different periods’ physical and cognitive development. In short, morality concerns an individual’s growing sense of what is right and wrong; it is for this reason that young children have different moral judgement and character than that of a grown adult. Morality in itself is often a synonym for “rightness” or “goodness”. It refers to a certain code of conduct that is derived from one’s culture, religion or personal philosophy that guides one’s actions, behaviors and thoughts. MORAL INTELLIGENCE Moral intelligence is the capacity to understand right from wrong; it means to have strong ethical convictions and to act on them so that one behaves in the right and honorable way. It consists of seven essential virtues MORAL REASONING Moral reasoning is a thinking process with the objective of determining whether an idea is right or wrong. To know whether something is “right” or “wrong” one must first know what that something is intended to accomplish. MORAL CHOICE A choice or preference is right when it is motivated by a true perception of and delight in the moral beauty of the act chosen. To put it another way, in order to choose rightly we must prefer an act not merely because God wills it but also because we have a deep agreement with God that the act is morally beautiful and The moral beauty of a human act is the harmony between that act and the totality of reality; MORAL JUDGEMENT Moral judgment is the process by which one defines what is wrong, good, bad, zany, absolutely bizarre, surreal, quasi-reasoned, ethical vs unethical vs neutral or adjoining deviations to the previous as stated that warrant categorizations of their own accord depending on the nature of the object or entity to be judged FLEXIBLE MORALITY Cheating, fraud, deception, uncooperative actions, and many other forms of unethical behavior are among the greatest personal and societal challenges of our time. MORAL PERFECTION Moral perfection is whether people have the integrity to consistently do what they think is right. In irrational moral systems, this is harder because the integrity must overcome rational self-interest. It requires you to blind yourself to the consequences of the moral demands and act on them anyway. A philosophy of rational self-interest doesn’t have the same problem. It claims the action that best serves you is the moral action. CONCEPT OF RESPECT Respect is a positive feeling or action shown towards someone or something considered important, or held in high esteem or regard; it conveys a sense of admiration for good or valuable qualities; and it is also the process of honoring someone by exhibiting care, concern, or consideration for their needs or feelings RULES OF ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR

• A statement explaining what someone can or cannot do in a particular system, game, or situation
• A way of behaving that is generally accepted as being normal and right
• A rule or set of principles that people follow for moral or religious reasons
• A set of rules about how something should be done or how people should behave
• Traditional principles of good behavior

ESTABLISHING A SOCIAL A social contract is an agreement, either implicit or explicit, governing the behavior of individuals and organizations within a certain context such as a workplace, a culture, a nation or a social media site. The purpose of the social contract is serving the common or greater good to ensure the sustainability of the system in question and protect the individuals within it. As such, the social contract generally guides moral behavior. According to our implicit agreement, for example, it is wrong to perform acts that harm others such as stealing, cheating, assaulting or bearing false witness.The basic assumption of social contract theory is the idea that societies and cultures develop based on a usually implicit agreement among individuals about what kind of environment they want to live in. Following from that assumption, individuals are obligated to behave in accordance with the rules governing the societies and cultures in which they live.
