The concept of morality and its abstract consequences may take different shapes because of geographic, cultural and social setting. In essence, the concept of morality takes a varying form based on the social environment. For instance the concept of business conduct may be dictated because of historical local moral standards which may in turn have evolved to adapt to rules of international trade and globalization.
The essence of morality maybe summarized by classification of artificial norms that may even be contradictory to human nature; yet necessary to illuminate and sustain social units that avoid chaos. One may even logically conclude that morality may be one of the essential corner stone to create, maintain as well as evolve social and cultural units that may result in nation states.
The experience and implementation of morality may certainly not lie within theoretical accumulation of aristocrats and academics far from the actual varying reality. The practical sense of morality is created by social and cultural practices that cultivate a sense of routine and commonality. Hence, the practice of morality should not be formed nor cultured by studying aristocratic and academic theories, rather than social networking and learning.
