ABSTRACT
Morality is a school subject that explores life principles and prescriptive activities and examines what is considered to be right or wrong. It is often taught as part of Religious Education (RE), or Philosophy and Ethics, or Personal, Social, Health and Economics (PSHE) in schools. Morality as a word and as a concept seems to be used in two broad ways: descriptively and prescriptively. In a descriptive sense, it refers to certain codes of conduct developed in and by a community (geohistorical, discursive, or normative), which have some type of binding relationship to the behaviour and thought patterns of a group of individuals. In a prescriptive sense, morality refers to a code of conduct which specifies what we should do.
