We are witnessing the gradual global deterioration of human morality. Everyday, there are headlines in almost every newspaper that can attest to this collapse. Simply put, most people are sadly lacking in common decency. The community as a whole is no longer our source of identity. Instead, we are each a world unto themselves, barely registering those around us. While morals typically vary from culture to culture, there are some that are ubiquitous in nature. Dr. Kent M. Keith compiled a list, with both the negative and positive aspects, of these basic ideas.
