In the world we live in now, almost everything is based on your social class and socioeconomic status. Whether it’s your salary, your friends, we could even go as far as saying it changes how other people view you as a person. All of this is based on morals. Morality is more important than money in society because, without morals, total chaos would occur. Though money is a huge part of everyday life and our system, for that matter, without morals, we won't be able to keep a functioning economic system at all because it would lead to corruption.

Or would you tell them that they dropped it and return it to them? To society, the right thing to do would be to return it, because that's the moral thing to do. But if someone didn’t have the moral concept of the difference between right and wrong, they probably would take it. It is ultimately better for society if people choose morals over
