Are you born with them or can you learn how to attain them I would like to think I have morals but who knows? To someone else I might not have. Are they consistent from person to person or do different people have different moral standards?

morals are 100% acquired
they are personal although some may be universal. even the universal ones are sometimes put to question ex is abortion murder?
different ppl may posses the same universal morals but still differ when it comes to less widely shared morals
morals are acquired form various institutions in society, and they may change with time
things that effect the developmnet of morals:
family
education
religion
media
job
peers
life experiences
morals cant go downhill like some ppl especially elder ppl may say. Morals change from one generation to the other if there values are different.
morality is a personal guideline of what is wrong or right based on values either shared by whole society, a subculture or an individual.

Denominations today are many and varied. The original “mainline” denominations have spawned numerous offshoots such as Assemblies of God, Christian and Missionary Alliance, Nazarenes, Evangelical Free, independent Bible churches, and others. Some denominations emphasize slight doctrinal differences, but more often they simply offer different styles of worship to fit the differing tastes and preferences of Christians. But make no mistake: as believers, we must be of one mind on the essentials of the faith, but beyond that there is great deal of latitude in how Christians should worship in a corporate setting. This latitude is what causes so many different “flavors” of Christianity. A Presbyterian church in Uganda will have a style of worship much different from a Presbyterian church in Colorado, but their doctrinal stand will be, for the most part, the same. Diversity is a good thing, but disunity is not. If two churches disagree doctrinally, debate and dialogue over the Word may be called for. This type of “iron sharpening iron” (Proverbs 27:17) is beneficial to all. If they disagree on style and form, however, it is fine for them to remain separate. This separation, though, does not lift the responsibility Christians have to love one another (1 John 4:11-12) and ultimately be united as one in Christ (John 17:21-22).

I feel that everyone has their own individual view of moral standards. I have a co-worker that would absolutely panic if she accidently took a pen home from the office...
I believe that you attain your personal standards from your family, friends, and peers.

Our brain.
Not being flippant but the advent of the cortex brought about profound changes. The limbic system and brain stem were adequate for our primitive ancestors, but once the cortex developed all sorts of notions occurred to us. Morality, conscience, beauty.
Hence the notion of religion to give a spurious, but in their eyes, believable basis for all those new feelings our ancestors were having.

This country (UK), is nominally a Christian society.
So we got our moral values from Christ's teachings.
This was taught at schools and in the family.
However, it's all going downhill.
