Morality deals with defining what actions are right and what actions are wrong. The reason it can be a difficult thing to define is because it has to be applied on an individual basis. From the tiniest of things like choosing whether or not to brush our teeth at night, to the most monumental decisions, like our Predident deciding whether or not to declare war, morality is a constant part of our lives. Some might argue that the definition of morality is constantly changing, some might say it is a steadfast rock of certainty, but in truth it all depends on what person you are talking with.

Through organized religion, politics and even the public school system, morals are handed out to society in broad measures. School kids are constantly told that drugs, alcohol and tobacco are bad, religions will insist that adultery, thievery and murder are wrong while at the same time telling us that marriage, prayer and charity are right. Politics will never come out and say that killing is condoned, but they will show through military example that it is necessary at times to protect another moral concept called freedom.

Maybe alcohol is only bad if drank in excess, maybe only if drank in excess more than twice a week. It all depends on the individual standards that one sets for themselves.

Say there is a small town someplace in the world, and in that small town there is a drunk, this man who does nothing but get hammered every single day. He doesn't work, he
