, 16:57, October 9, 2008→Yes: morality as component of culture
Immorality can be found even in non-Christian societies. Anthropology has proven that there is a taboo on acts such as incest and murder even without Western or prominent religion. [User:Tegan]

It is possible to consider morality as a characteristic of a culture. The definition being a standard of conduct that helps the culture to operate with minimal conflict. In small groups it leads to rules like "dont kill Fred, because Fred fishes and we all like fish, so leave Fred alone" or "Fred hasnt caught a fish in a month , so lets eat Fred instead ! ". Many moral codes are ultimately pro-survival of the group. [[User:Markr|Markr]] 12:57, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
