I began to learn about morality, and it's stepchild-ethics, from my parents and my kindergarten teachers. I am of the opinion that morality is learned from society.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.(Proverbs 22:6)I don't mean to offend anyone by using these as examples, but they were among the earliest rules I remember learning as a child. I would love to read some examples by those of other faiths or beliefs.Honor your father & mother: that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God gives to you.(Exodus 12)
