What is Moral Development?
Moral development is the process through which people learn to
distinguish between good and wrong and to act in accordance with
ethical standards. It is an important part of human development
that has a considerable impact on our personal and social lives.
Morally good or appropriate activities or behaviors improve
relationships, welfare, and harmony. Morally poor or improper
activities, on the other hand, are those that inhibit and impede an
honest and healthy relationship with people.
