There's a lot to be done; I just see a total moral decay in our society.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The problem is we need much more moral content.
Regardless of what society says, we can't go on much longer in the sea of immorality without judgment coming.
Very long ago our ancestors had moral systems. Our current institutions are only a couple of thousand years old, which is really not old in the eyes of a biologist.
It is becoming clear that the old platitudes can no longer be maintained, and that if we wish to improve our morals we must first improve our knowledge.
Behold, at this hour our moral history is being preserved for eternity. Processes are at work which will perpetuate our every act and word and thought.
Personally, I think it is possible to build a society that is moral on a nonreligious basis, but the jury is still out on that.
We moralize among ruins.
History and experience tell us that moral progress comes not in comfortable and complacent times, but out of trial and confusion.
Over the past two decades, we have clearly seen an erosion of ethical values.
Society is constantly recalibrating, redefining what it considers to be moral and immoral.
