A moral is a message conveyed or a lesson to be learned from a story or event. The moral may be left to the hearer, reader or viewer to determine for themselves, or may be explicitly encapsulated in a maxim. As an example of the latter, at the end of Aesop's fable of the Tortoise and the Hare, in which the plodding and determined tortoise wins a race against the much-faster yet extremely arrogant hare, the moral is "slow and steady wins the race." The use of stock characters is a means of conveying the moral of the story by eliminating complexity of personality and so spelling out the issues arising in the interplay between the characters, enabling the writer to make clear the message. With more rounded characters, such as those typically found in Shakespeare's plays, the moral may be more nuanced but no less present, and the writer may point it up in other ways (see, for example, the Prologue to Romeo and Juliet.) Throughout the history of recorded literature, the majority of fictional writing has served not only to entertain but also to instruct, inform or improve their audiences or readership. In classical drama, for example, the role of the chorus was to comment on the proceedings and draw out a message for the audience to take away with them; while the novels of Charles Dickens are a vehicle for morals regarding the social and economic system of Victorian Britain. Morals have typically been more obvious in children's literature, sometimes even being introduced with the phrase, "The moral of the story is …". Such explicit techniques have grown increasingly out of fashion in modern storytelling, and are now usually only included for ironic purposes. As Oscar Wilde observes wryly, The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means.[1]

1. Adult Care: An International Perspective
November 21, 2008
Traditions vary across the globe in how to deal with adult care. With the rise in economic costs, healthcare and changes in moral views, differences and traditions, families are really re-evaluating how they choose to care for the elderly in their lives. Recently in the U.S. and some European countries people have started to change perspectives on whether or not to use nursing homes or assisted living facilities in their care. In the past, large healthcare institutions have been given the reputation of being impersonal and often abusive. As a result, families are using much more personal appro... (read more)

2. Different Types of Vegetarians
November 18, 2008
People have different motivations for eating a vegetarian diet. For many people, it’s a health issue. They need to reduce their weight, bring down their blood pressure and cholesterol, manage their blood sugars. A vegetarian diet helps them do this.
For others, it’s also moral and ethical decision not to eat animal products. Through the centuries, we’ve become accustomed to thinking of man as superior to all other animals on the planet. We use animals for food, clothing, shoes, belts or other accessories. We use them for scientific experiments. We discount their place on the earth and ... (read more)

7. The Music industry Embraces Peer to Peer Software
November 04, 2008
There was a time in our house when Kazaa was the word of the day. My teenage daughters were delirious at the thought of being able to download whatever music they wanted for free and even though we parents took the moral high ground warning that it was illegal, somewhere we were thrilled to see the power of the mighty music industry brought down a notch or two. After all we were a generation held ransom to the ever escalating costs of CD's despite a reduction in the cost of their production.

9. A Moral Challenge to the Reputation of a Nation

In the year 2000, a new Republican administration Lead by newly elected President George W. Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney, began leading what would come... (read more)
