1. What do you think are the three most important factors in your life that affect what your value system is? Why do you think each of these are important?2. Are all value systems (of all people) equally acceptable?3. Are you a person with a strong sense of what you believe to be clearly right and wrong, or do you see a lot of gray area in many issues?4. Do you expect that your morals will change in any way over the course of your life. If they do, what will cause them to change?5. How acceptable do you feel it is to impress YOUR value system on others?



The moral compass is crafted by a variety of important factors. Family plays a large role in the process, because a majority of your early life is spent with them. Forming the foundation for your compass to lie on. Your social status gives you an opinion on society based on how other people treat you. Location and culture also plays a big role in morality, because of different social stigmas in different geographical areas. Persons morals differ person to person, but are sometimes unacceptable. Examples include Stalin, Hitler, Robert Picton, and Charles Manson. These are extremes that don't need explanation of why what they're doing is wrong. My views on issues are based on competent research, and accurate statistics. If these don't exist it is not worth discussing until they do.If they didn't you would be judging based on heresy. A shift in your moral poles may happen during the course of your life through the influence of people close to you.
