Assignment in RS:
Illustrate morality based on your experience.

Morality is basically knowing what is good and what is bad. It is something that we don't have after birth, but is something that we develop as we grow. Our concept of morality is highly influenced by someone who has the authority. As kids, we look up to our parents and follow their set of "rules." These rules determines what is right and what is wrong. As we experience things in life, we also discover the outside world. Our concept of morality is also influenced by our religion, our culture and society. But as we mature, we become more independent. We determine, based on our experiences and the influence of the external forces, our own concept of morality. If you are matured enough, that person in power that influences your concept of morality would be yourself.
