Moral
Morals are the prevailing standards of behavior that enable people to live cooperatively in groups. Moral refers to what societies sanction as right and acceptable, good or evil.
What is moral is also considered to be ethical or virtuous.
Moral principles transcend ages and cultures, such as what is considered just and fair. While social morality is not fixed. ethics which is said to be the "moral principles that govern a person's behavior or the conducting of an activity" which is intended to produce a positive outcome.
Morality in the sense of universal ethics describes the particular values of mankind or in the sense of social morality of a specific group at a specific point in time.
Morality has been connected to religious traditions when religion was the way in which you fulfilled a "moral duty" to the Creator of life and your fellowman.
Standards of morality and ethics demonstrate a significance and importance in stabilizing the world of business, employment, and government.
Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person, and a morally excellent person has a character made-up of virtues valued as good. That would mean they are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving, and kind, just as examples.[1]
Social Virtues may be so closely related to the moral virtues that they may not even be distinguishable from them. They are generally viewed as the virtues or traits of character that promote social harmony.
Socrates uses the term courage in Plato's Republic in place of "civic virtue". Since all city-states justified their legal system by the gods there is no distinction between spiritual virtue, mandated by a higher being, and civic virtue by the laws or customs of civil society. If virtue is the “character muscle” of the individual, Social Virtues can be described as the sinew of society.
Aristotle advises that of man takes pleasure in virtue he will not only achieve the greatest happiness his society will also be great. Knowledge of these virtues and their promotion through the structures of society are the only moral hope for a better community.
Aristotle believed that a person "well brought up" at home will be more accepting and conducive to the practice of both civic and moral virtues.[2]
The Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle were followed by Thomas Aquinas who believed the greatest good comes when ordained by God through the hearts, hands, and mind of men who accept The Way of God, which is righteousness.
Moral and therefore social issues are the product of right reasoning, not the rule making of an autocratic authority. Social virtues suggest the interaction of members of society, such as gratitude is the virtuous reaction to the virtue of generosity.
For virtue to be real, it must be the result of choice.

Footnotes
- ↑ Virtue includes the desire to do what is morally right. Virtue begins with the good condition of the heart. (See Luke 19:1-10: Zacchaeus began with desire, and in the end, he gave to the poor). Feigned friendliness or patience is not virtue. Virtue stems from sincere humility with God. Virtue attends real repentance. Zacchaeus was chief among the publicans, and rich, but changes happened to him after he met Jesus.
- ↑ Deuteronomy 4:9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons;
