Tough question, and I'm not sure if #2, which was my vote, is really the best answer but I thought so at that instant. I think maybe more a combination of number 1 and number 2.

Boy, I sound like I'm discussing taking my little nephew to the bathroom.. lol.

On the Good vs. Evil front, the ideas are completely relative to the people or things in question. One man's evil is another's prize.

Morality is most certainly also tied in with societal views. Take ancient Greece or Rome for example, where it was perfectly acceptable to have quality time with young men, instead of your wife She was just for procreation..

That stuff just doesn't fly these days Religion, being an intergal part of society, plays a large part in this, as does the media. Our media in the US is absolutely puritanical compared to some other countries, and very risque compared to others.

OK, it's late, and I'm blabbing now. This is my first post here, so I hope it's not too confusing, or offending, or whatever.

Cheers
