Morality impacts our everyday decisions, and those are directed by our
conscience. The morals or ethics that a person develops vary greatly from person to
person depending on the environment around them. Most humans have the ability to
develop these morals and can identify right from wrong (Piotrowski, 2010). While most

Guides to behavior that are regarded as moralities normally involve avoiding and
preventing harm to others (Francheska, 1980) and perhaps some norm of honesty
(Strawson, 1961), but all of them involve other matters as well. This view of morality as
concerning that which is most important to a person or group allows matters related to
religious practices and precepts, or matters related to customs and traditions, to be more
important than avoiding and preventing them. It is possible to hold that having certain
sort of social goal is definitional of morality (Frankena, 1963). Toumlin (1950) took it to
be the harmony of society. Baier (1958) took it to be the good of everyone alike. Gert
(2005) took it to be the lessening of evil and harm. This latter goal is essential to
producing the greatest good and involves avoiding and preventing harm.

While there is awareness that humans have the ability to develop morality, many
people have attempted to decipher the way the morality evolves. As time passes by,
morality evolves as society also continues to evolve. Traditional standards are starting to
fade out as it was replaced with new system of behaviors. The rise of the millennial
society paves away the custom norms of the society. It has imposed new patterns of
This circumstance vastly impacts most of the youngsters and the society that we
are currently residing in pays a huge contribution to the evolving set of standards. Most

these customs did exist. The birth of this society made an evolution to how people

This chapter presents a review and summary of literature and studies related to
morality awareness.
Morality is the belief that some behavior is right and acceptable and that other
behavior is wrong. It is the character of being in accord with the principles or standards
of right conduct. “Moral” comes from Latin “mores” meaning life ordinances or customs.

moral is the aspect of human life in terms of human kindness. Thus, moral is associated
with action taken by humans. The action is not about good or bad, but it is about how

someone’s thinking comes to the decision that something is good or bad (Budiningsih,
2004).
Morality indicates what is the right and wrong way to behave, for instance, that
one should be fair and not unfair to others (Haidt & Kesebir, 2010). This is considered of
interest to explain the social behavior of individuals living together in groups (Gert,
1988). Moral guidelines can induce individuals to display behavior that has no obvious
instrumental use or no direct value for them, for instance, when they show empathy,
Moral roles and sanctions for those who transgress them are used by individuals
living together in social communities, for instance, to make them refrain from selfish
behavior and to prevent them from lying, cheating or, stealing from others (Ellemers &
Moral value is simply an important kind of instrumental value. Actions and traits
of character have moral value only in so far as they contribute in a certain way to
happiness: enhancing pleasure or reducing pain or both. Moral values makes people do

Moral values are associated with the human himself, human life in relation to
God, and human life in relation to the social, including its relationship with nature
(Nurgiyantoro, 1995). The supreme source of all moral requirements and moral

Moral values in human life will encourage people to achieve happiness and
perfection of life as a person through the use of all potentials, abilities, and skills they
have without harming others. Moral value related to the human person is responsibility.
Responsibility means the ability to respond and answer. It means responsibility has an
orientation toward others in the form of attention, and actively responds to what they
Humans as social beings certainly contact with other human beings in everyday
life, both within the family and society. The human needs to understand the norms that
apply in order to do to run smoothly without any misunderstanding. This is called social
moral values. Social moral values have a close relationship with human conscience.
Because of conscience, humans can determine which ones are good and which are bad.
Conscience is alerted not only by things we have already done, but also by things we
Morality often describes the particular values of specific group at a specific point
in time. Historically, morality has been closely connected to religious traditions, but
today its significance is equally important to the secular world. Morals are the principles
that guide individual to conduct within society. And, while morals may change over time,
they remain the standards of behavior that we use to judge right and wrong.

asked 109 Chinese college students to write down at least 10 attributes of a highly moral
person in their points of view. A total of 1,924 attributes were created. In the second step,
they applied the Walker and Pitts’ (1998) procedure to reduce the number of attributes. In
the third step, they compared the remaining attributes with a list of moral values
frequently used from predominantly Western cultures (Krettenauer, et al., 2016). They
found 17 culturally specific attributes from the Chinese sample: “peaceful, credible,
solidaric, careful, prudent, filial piety, dedicated, principled, active, and outgoing.” In
addition, they found 17 unique Western attributes that Chinese participants did not
mention in their descriptions of a highly moral person. Those attributes were “accepting,
confident, consistent, educated, follows the rules, fun, good, happy, has high standards,
healthy, humble, makes the right choices, non-judgmental, obedient, proper, proud,
religious.” The Chinese list used for defining a moral person was illustrated by specific
values that not only reflect upon individually oriented morality such as

design is defined as a research method that describes the characteristic of the population
or phenomenon that was being studied. This research design describes the assessment of
the level of morality awareness of Tabango Senior High School students in the school
year 2019-2020.
The researchers’ aim in using this method was to describe the nature of the
situation in the study. It didn’t need expensive financial support and it didn`t require
longer time for the researcher to conduct this study. Another reason was the gathered

DATA COLLECTION
Before the researches proceeded to the actual survey, the researchers sought
permission from the school principal of Tabango Senior High School in order to
administer the research instruments to the respondents. Upon the approval, the
respondents in each section of grade 12 and grade 11. The data which were gathered in
this study were extracted from the total population of the 462 students of Tabango Senior
High School-Stand Alone S.Y. 2019-2020. The data were analyzed in order to assess the
INSTRUMENT
The questionnaires contained significant information about the respondents such as the
sex, parent`s marital status and the like. The type of survey questionnaire that was
utilized was the profile checklist in which it consisted of five - level assessment scale.
The researchers chose this type of questionnaire because it is very easy and it was not
confusing. Furthermore, questions were all about morality and the respondents simply
put a check mark on their perception about their selves with a scale of 1-5.
DATA INTERPRETATION
The data that were gathered were analyzed and interpreted to answer the
1. The statistical parameters used were percentage, weight mean, and Analysis of
Variance (ANOVA). To test the significant difference between the demographic profile
and the level of morality awareness of the students of Tabango Senior High School the
researchers answered this central question: If the null hypotheses were true in the
population (that is, if there really is no difference between groups and no treatment
effect).
As the P value gets lower (i.e., closer to 0% and farther away from 100%), the
researchers would be more inclined to accept the research hypothesis and to reject the
15
null hypothesis. Before beginning the study, the researchers would conventionally
establish cut-off points, which were called alpha values, to indicate what P values
whether to accept as significant. In many physiological studies, alpha values were set at .
05 or .01. If the P values that are calculated in statistical tests are less than alpha—for
example, if P < .05— the researcher would conclude that the study results are statistically
significant.

and the different personality traits are predictors of the components of morality.
