The United States is often considered one of the world’s leading nations. Sadly, America is more and more leading the world in immorality. How will the decline of this once-great nation affect our world- and you? To be immoral means to not be conforming to accepted standards of morality. It is sometimes acceptable to be immoral or unethical, for it allows us to learn and grow through challenges, some morals and ethics go against our own beliefs, and no one is perfect.

Our morals and ethical beliefs are something that to most people are taken very seriously and in a lot of individual 's lives they are seen as guidelines to live by. Ask yourself what the world would potentially be like without our morals and ethical values. From a personal understanding of morals and ethics, I believe that the world would soon become a disastrous place. There would be nothing to live by and no right or wrong decisions; also the world would see much more crime and dangerous activity. Think about medicine, and how patients would be treated and the procedures that could be created without ethical and moral background.
Morality is a huge topic that is criticized by society in everyday
I have chosen Into Thin Air for my project because the main theme of this novel is Danger and Morality. I feel as there’s danger and morality in my city and around the world, with the natural events occurring. Into Thin Air is a great work of literature because of Krakauer’s use of imagery and symbolism to describe the situation of the mountain. Also, the plot is exciting, and it leaves the reader in shock on each page. The writer tells it as it is.
Spearheading the New Right were evangelical Christian groups such as the Moral Majority, a political group, who were dedicated believers who enjoyed startling success as political fund-raisers and organizers.

I envision a nation our founding fathers would have expected to emerge from the seeds of freedom and responsibility they planted in the American soil more than 200 years ago. America is a hopeful nation, secured and blessed by God and enlivened by faith. Where you go to your small hometown church every Sunday morning with your family or how ever else you worship your God or whoever you follow any way you want. This America leads the world in religious freedom, where faith is cherished and protected in private and public. It leads in family stability, where heterosexual marriage is the backbone of society.
What does it take to be a responsible America today? I believe to be a responsible American today I have to be patriotic and show pride and respect for my country. I show my patriotism by reciting the National Anthem, flying the American flag, and many other things. By showing my patriotism I show respect for the country, and the ones who served to protect it. Simply reciting the National Anthem is a way to show my respect for the country and gives a thank you to the ones who have fought and died for my freedom.

This is taught to us as children, and repeated until we understand right from wrong.
Morality is a constant negotiation between self and society in what appears to morally justified. Nothing can be truly morally justified for all, but if everyone follows their hearts into what they feel is right, then there has to be some good to come out in the
