This is a real tricks of the trade article.
What is morality?
Webster in 1828 said, “The quality of an action which renders it good; the conformity of an act to the divine law, or to the principles of rectitude. ”
Why might Webster include the reference to divine law?
It had to do with rendering an opinion on a matter as to whether it is good or not. There has to be a standard for good. Such a standard is easiest to render when one compares something to that which is perfect, holy or separate from that which is evil, bad, or perverted. The only entity available to man to make this comparison is the Creator of the Earth and the Heavens.
This definition is based upon normal recorded history and not contrived history as is commonly referred today. Normal history is not rewritten history. Normal history is not derived from presumptions unproved and unsupported by direct observations as many in the scientific community try to press upon us. Normal history is based upon eyewitness circumstances derived from people who experienced it first hand.
When people were concerned with real morality, we founded our country, we built our national wealth. They knew where morality originated. Today, ignorance of morality has gone to the wayside. The Creator is not pleased with us and that blessing which we originally enjoyed as it was originally extended to us will be removed from us. We have perverted that which is right to our own ways and opinions rather than referencing the eternal standard and responding accordingly.
Some people say that it does not matter what you believe as long as you are sincere. This is a popular cliche but it is full of practical contradictions when put to use.
What you believe. what controls your decision making, what causes you to react to others opinions is called a world view. There are many world views. They cannot all be true, because they contradict each other. Once you have a contradiction, logic comes into play. You really do not want to be known as one who cannot think logically.
Now you must make a decision. If one believe contradicts another, then they both cannot be true. Now it could be that neither is true. So the search goes on to find that which is true.
What might be a means available to find the true one? We introduced logic above. If logic helps us to find truth, we need to ask, where does logic come from? Is there some kind of entity in the universe from which logic emanates? Since there seem to be laws of logic, the characteristics of these laws should help us to eliminate some world views.
An example is if a concept or object has an identity (The law of identity), it cannot be two things as the same time (the law of the excluded middle), and cannot have characteristics which are contradictory to its identity (The law of contradiction), then that identity must be specific. This rules out random identity options. This rules out any world view which holds to the concept of random truth.
This conclusion is an application of the laws of logic. This application rules out such world views such as Atheism, Naturalism, Darwinism, and Humanism.
This is an article which should make a big difference in your business quality. Enjoy! The question addressed is are we too selfish?

When in business, we need to project a positive attitude to the public.
As we go into planning for the future, whether it is educationally or economically or socially, is it not important that the programs be focused upon the whole population? Could it be that we are setting into motion a bureaucracy which intensely favors one group over another? If there are programs to train and motivate children to enter into business, find helps, enjoy scholarships, have motivational camps, etc. are these focused to include a diverse cross section of those who should be eligible? Equity suggests that you do not focus upon one group to the detriment of another. Morality suggests that the principle of “equal opportunity” be made available to all.
Equity means that all should have like opportunity, each according to his willingness to enter into that responsibility. Diversity says that one group not be favored above another and the breadth of effort to reach out should be inclusive not exclusive.
