    Is it objective or subjective?

        Because your body is constantly taking in information. Your mind is processing it, putting it through filters and determining how it fits into beliefs. As is everyone else. What qualifies as 'good' compared to what came before. How it qualifies as bad.

        Moral values change over time and generations. Because of this process. Primarily because good and bad are not black and white. We collectively evaluate the parts and realize the bad we didn't see while reaping benefits from the good, changing our moral views accordingly.

          I think some of it is objective, like murder and stealing. We have laws and rules concerning objective morality. Some morality is subjective when it doesn't hurt anyone else because it is in the eye of the beholder. As a nation, we have had to rethink and repeal those laws that were based on the subjective morality. One example of that is repeal of the laws against selling contraceptives. Another example is repeal of the Sunday Blue Laws. Both are examples of subjective laws that actually harmed or inconvenienced people.

            And yet, as we go back in history, and/or change locale, even murder and stealing were moral.  All it took was a (subjective) judgement that people across an invisible border, or with different color skin, didn't count.

            (Do ISIS members find murder moral?  Chinese, leaving infants to die?  )

              You are right. I was thinking, I guess, of Judeo-Christian morals under the 10 Commandments, on which a lot of our laws are based. By "our" I mean English Common Law and our U.S.A. laws based on them.

    In my opinion morality is highly subjective.You can choose to be moral.immoral or amoral.
