It is basically doing what is "right". That is, acceptable to the community standards, and your own morality standards

Moral Standards are the principles that guide your decisions. They are often defined by different groups in society: Government, Religion, Clubs, etc. But only you can decide what your standards will be. Here are a couple basic Moral Standards that are often destroyed in today's society:
Chastity: No sexual relations other than with your legal spouse.
Language: Using vocabulary that is not offensive.
Integrity: Being able to be trusted.
Dependable: Being able to be relied upon.

Here's an example: "abortion is morally wrong" - there is an act/behaviour which is considered morally wrong by a person, and a group of these sets out their moral standards.
Someone with high moral standards may not drink, do drugs, believe in abortion, sex before marriage etc.
Someone with NO moral standards will have no sense of guilt in doing ANY act, be it murder, rape etc.

Those things you believe are right and wrong.
Some decide what is right and wrong depending how they feel at the time.
Others have it codified in some written form. ie Torah for Jews.
