Governments use [[law]] to enforce morals, but civilization couldn't stand if individuals had no morals at all.

There are many sources of moral guidance used by many different groups of people; each groups sees their sets of morals as supreme. Western civilization in general is largely based off of the [[Ten Commandments]] (and to a wider extent the [[Bible]]), the set of morals for [[Judaism]] and [[Christianity]]. [[Islam|Muslims]] derive their morals from the [[Koran]], another widely used source of moral guidance.
