A better title for your question would be "What is the basis for 'moral values' in a society that doesn't pay attention to God?"\n\nThis kind of question encourages a "rant", but I'm not going to do that.  I believe that we, as children, learn what is "right" and "wrong" from our parent(s) as we grow up.  We accept their rules because that's all we can do - children have no power to "change the rules".  But what happens when we get older and reach adulthood?\n\nBeing an "adult" means more than just accepting rules for what they are - rules made by someone else.  Being an "adult" means knowing the "reason" for the rules.\n\nCollege showed me that many of our governmental laws were inherited from English Common Law.  They, in turn, partly inherited it from the Romans.  The Romans partly got it from the Ancient Greeks.  Where did the Greeks get it?  I believe they got it from God.\n\nIn the book of Romans, Paul claims that God showed his power and divine nature to all of us.  That divine nature was imprinted onto our minds.  We recognized it, knew that it came from God, but we chose, instead, to follow our own ways.  We try our "own" ways for a while, find it doesn't work, and then come back to God's ways.  However, we still don't want to acknowledge God as the source of those ways.  Instead, we make laws.\n\nSo the basis for morality, the origin of how we know what is right and what is wrong, is God.  Are we "ignorant" if we ignore that?  Perhaps.  However, God still lets us go our own ways if we want.  He's being the patient parent, waiting for you to return to Him and His ways.

One could probably write a book on this topic, but briefly....rights may be human rights (those which we have simply by virtue of being human) and legal rights (those granted by courts of law, either in accordance with codes of conduct or at the behest of governing nations).  Practices which determine what is ethical (or not) based on what one is entitled to (rights) would be rights-based ethics.

All PhD qualified personnel, have immeasurable value, that cannot be quantified for arbitrary comparison. What society wants to evaluate is your competence to apply your knowledge for the good of society - the more good you do to society through application of your knowledge, the more you are likely to be rewarded by the societies concerned.

I'm in the US Navy.\nMorals is having sense of right and wrong. US Navy follows three basic core values: Honor, Courage, Commitment. Basically those are my morals. Backed up by Oath of Enlistment that I took when I signed the contract. I swore to defend this country against all enemies foreign and domestic by any means. That means what normal civilian might think is wrong (immoral) might be right (moral) for service member based on his/hers agreement with this nation. I look at this this way, I'm responsible before the nation and the public, I'll do anything to defend this nation. It is my job, my duty, my obligation. Navy Core Values guide me each day.

Well. pretty much as a rule, the whole of humanity decides what's ordinary and what isn't. Technically if you want it written in stone you'll have to do a world-wide poll, including every living person. That's not really feasible, though.\n\nEdit: I disagree. You have to be reasonable, you can't expect everything to be perfect, you really can't. You have to declare something sensibly "ordinary" or "extraordinary" and realise that no matter what there's always going to be those few  who are going to disagree, no matter what. By the standard of perfect, everything is "meaningless" because nothing is perfect.

Moral values guide your decisions about the most important decisions in life.  Life and Death, War and Peace, Wrath or Compassion.  \n\nIf you generally support war, punishment, agression, violence and killing of those you hate, then you are immoral.  If you lack compassion and your actions promote a lack of compassion then you may be considered immoral.\n\nMorality is also about personal choices you make which affect others, such as lying, cheating, or bearing false witness.\n\nMorality in my view is not about consentual sexuality, dress, language or decisions about drugs or alcohol.  Those are issues of preference and control (self control and control over others.)

A person's response does not determine their value system, it is determined BY their value system (possibly).\n\nWhy do you want to manipulate others via knowledge of their value systems?

There are very few universal values. Every culture has evolved its values differently based on its particular needs.\nI would say that values that resonate with the core of our being.\nMurder is bad. We all have a reason to live and would like to be in charge of our lives.\nTheft is bad. We all have possessions that are dear to us and would like to have the say on who gets them after us.

Do a search. These values have to be out there somewhere if you can ask for them as you have.
