Reflection On Moral Values

Self-Reflection Moral values are why a person is drawn to do good or evil by their definition of what good and evil is. Your moral values are established by the environment you grew up in, your current circumstances, and outside influences such as, friends, media, and even religion.

In America, we would rather spend our money on fast foods because we live faster lifestyles compared to other
