Morals are an individuals sense of what is right and what is wrong and determine the things we do and the way we behave.
These are very individual and one person may have a very different set of moral standards than the next.
More often than not, our morals are defined very early on by socialising instruments, schools, parents, media, society as a whole, etc, and rarely changed once they become instilled in us.
The particulars of what is right and what is considered wrong differ widely from country to country, culture to culture and even between generations.
Hope this helps.

Everyone knows what is moral. Even children know what is wrong. They know hitting or throwing a fit is wrong, and will do it until they are corrected. Things only get worse as our drives increase and we learn more. People need laws because of this. If there were no laws people would kill each other because someone cut them off in traffic. It is universal and unchallenge. There are exceptions maybe over cultural issues, but inherant knowlege of what is actual good or evil is there always. Men would have never come up with what is good or bad if he didn't know that it existed. How could someone ever make something up that he had no imagination about or knowledge of? Long live morals.

The sense of what is right and what is wrong. It is based upon society's and individual's sense. You are talking about a generational gap.
Life was very different for the elderly when they were young.
That affects how they see things. It's hard to change.
