Morals are the agreements of a social group regarding what is good/bad - right/wrong. As such they ARE taught. They are often, at least these days, related to economics, which are just as much social agreements as morals. As social animals, we rely on the support of our social group and will, therefore, adapt to the rules they set out for themselves, which may be much different than another group. With the ability we have today, to relate to so many we don't know personally, we must find agreements with them in order to get along (more broadly accepted morals). When agreements are challenged we get chaos, fear and hatred.

Do you feel you might not have all of the morals that you should have, and if you are having some doubt? I'm sorry for those early experiences my friend......

All behavior is learned: by watching, by response, by language.

Sure, they can be taught, but as parents we can't dictate which lessons our kids will take. My son absolutely can be a nice guy, but he was more impressed by those "acting out" and "getting away with it" leading to a life of needless struggles.

I lean toward thinking that trying to teach others some sort of formulated behavior is a futile effort, causing more harm than good. I do think that if parents live joyfully and compassionately, their children will tend to follow suit.

Humans, even babies, are far beyond our ken. We can sometimes offer leadership but we can not alter a person’s essence.

I'd argue that the only way to acquire morals is through experience which would be, I'd guess, a form of teaching.

ethics are to promote the propagation of the species. morals are social constructs designed to favour mostly males and the rich

I truly think morals come from within and that they can never be taught.

I... I don't get this question. Of course they can be taught. I wasn't raised in religion and I have morals.

This is a tricky one. They can be taught to the receptive. To those that already have a sense of compassion and empathy. If the student lacks those qualities, it's much harder, as the only internal motivations are to avoid pain or loss of freedom. And, even then, that would only be playing a role for the benefit of society for the student. In other words, you can't make someone care about something if they don't want to. I hate it, but it does seem to be the case in my experiences.

Of course they can be taught. If kids have great role models and are taught decent morals from their infancy to their adulthood, they are less likely to a negative force on society. Not a guarentee, but it certainly doesn't hurt. I was taught morals as a child and how to treat ALL people (except Trump supporters), and I have carried that with me throughout my life.

They can be suggested, enforced, obeyed, but if one is immune or indifferent to them, not a lot can sway that conviction.
I think what one would teach is not crossing lines.

Yes.

Teaching kids right from wrong is the best way for them to develop morals.
A lot of it is wholly individual and subjective. I think it's innate.
If someone is a sociopath, or a psychopath, it won't matter how much anyone else
has ever tried to teach them about morals.
