		Morality refers to the concept of human ethics which pertains to matters of good and evil —also referred to as "right or wrong", used within three contexts: individual conscience; systems of principles and judgments — sometimes called moral values —shared within a cultural, religious, secular, Humanist, or philosophical community; and codes of behavior or conduct.
		Selected behaviors, seen in abstraction as moral codes, are seen to be common to all human cultures, and reflect, in their development, similarities to natural selection and these aspects of morality can be seen in as the basis of some religious doctrine.
		Morality is character and conduct such as is required by the circle or community in which the man's life happens to be placed.

	Morality play - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Morality plays are a type of theatrical allegory in which the protagonist is met by personifications of various moral attributes who try to prompt him to choose a Godly life over one of evil.
		Examples of morality plays include the French Condemnation des banquets by Nicolas de Chesnaye and the English The Castle of Perseverance, the earliest surviving complete morality play in English, and Everyman, sometimes considered the best of the morality plays.
		Throughout his career Shakespeare made references to morality characters and tropes, suggesting that the form was still alive for his audiences, at least in memory, long beyond the period of its textual flowering.

	The Austin Chronicle News: Naked City: Morales' Morality Tale
		If nothing else, it justifies that I remand you to the custody of the U.S. marshal at this time." Morales told the court of his "sincere regret and remorse," but insisted that "the vast majority" of the "misdeeds" he's been accused of are untrue.
		Morales has claimed destitution and the potential source of those funds is unknown.
		Announcing the sentencing, U.S. attorney Johnny Sutton issued his own melodramatic narrative of Morales' crimes, describing the "river of money" flowing from the tobacco litigation and the unsuccessful attempts by Morales and Murr to cut themselves in on the pending settlement via the five private lawyers who actually prepared the state's case.

	Chaucer's Clerk's Tale and the Question of Ethical Monstrosity
		The larger critical history of the tale is instructive: the tale is an offensive monstrosity to some, an alluring and subtle fable to others, and to still others an artistic failure or deliberate caricature; the Clerk's Tale remains a moral challenge.
		As several critics urge, the Clerk's Tale appears to better purpose when it is considered as a parable, a species of exemplum.6 It was Quintilian who in his discussion of public oratory went on to formulate a description of the rhetoric of exemplarity that turns on a distinction between paradigma and parabole.
		But in the Clerk's Tale, where there is reason to doubt whether it is a moral tale after all, the profound degree of latitude calls into question the morality of the story itself.

	Reviews
		From bawdy seventeenth-century morality tale, to porn movie, Max Factor ad, and feminist poem, the various incarnations of "Little Red Riding Hood" under examination here draw the fairy tale forth "from her literary crypt"--not in search of "universal truths" but "as evidence of how human truths change" [p.
		This incarnation of the fairy tale heroine is a cross between Rita Hayworth and Mae West--with her famous quip: "I used to be Snow White...
		The tension between conformity and transgression underlying the fairy tale is elaborated in Chapter Nine.

	Reich's Morality Tale
		The American morality tale defines our understanding of who we are, and of what we want for ourselves and one another.
		It is, rather, a tale of corruption, decadence, and irresponsibility among the powerful, of conspiracy against the broader public.
		At the turn of the century, muckrakers like Upton Sinclair and Ida Tarbell uncovered sordid tales of corporate malfeasance; their modern heirs (revealing CIA depredations, White House scandals, and corporate transgressions) are called investigative reporters.

	The Violent Fairy Tale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Recently, in a piece on the Christians and the Lions we questioned the measurement, the definition of arrogance and hierarchy, with a view to looking at the special context evoked in the academy by the arrogance and "bullying" (Duncan Kennedy's phrase) of the academic hierarchy.
		First, his definition of a fairy tale comes close to that of Louise Bernikow in Among Women: He says: "[T]he fairy tale is not fundamentally a morality tale, in the sense of cautionary moral preachment, as "Story of O" is not a morality tale.
		The fairy tale (say, "The Juniper Tree" or even "Hansel and Gretel") is rather a nearly unmediated account, first, of the irremediable aggression and cruelty within human beings, brought squarely to the surface and, second, of the imperfection and indifference of the world itself, prior to its restructuring by categories of morality."

	CONTEXT - This Week in Arts and Ideas from The Moscow Times (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Gorin, before his untimely death at age 60 in 2000, was best known for plays and filmscripts that incorporated elements of fantasy and grotesque and were built on the basis of classic novels or splays.
		This much certainly is true of "Phenomenons," but where Gogol cut and slashed with his humor, working through his characters to reveal the absurdity and hypocrisy of human nature and behavior, Gorin in his play backed off and fashioned a warm tale about the power of love.
		This is a work that stands in large part on its ability to pull out yet one more surprise each time it seems certain there can be no more.

	PR Fuel: Personal PR Blunders - A Morality Tale
		The Moral: As difficult as it is to stomach people sometimes writing negative things about you, your company or clients, the gloves have come off in the era of "citizen journalism" and sensationalism.
		The Moral: PR is all about relationships, and I erred by not cultivating important relationships with journalists at multiple media outlets.
		The Moral: Before you pitch anyone for a television or radio show or interview, make sure you know exactly what his or her availability is. In my case, my co-worker was originally available for the show, but that was when I began pitching the appearance almost a month earlier.

	CNN - Daniel Day-Lewis: This morality tale is 'about now' - Nov. 27, 1996
		Miller's definition of moral clarity was what persuaded the actor to take on the role of John Proctor, a good man except for the fact that he has cheated on his wife with a townswoman played by Winona Ryder.
		"Moral clarity is the thing that makes people point the finger," and says, "That's where the danger lies," Day-Lewis said.
		Joan Allen, who plays Day-Lewis' wife in "The Crucible", found her on-screen husband's acting style to be a great asset in defining the relationship.

	Theater: Play’s tale of morality and mass hysteria still relevant today
		“The Crucible,” which won the Tony Award in 1953 for the year’s best play, illustrates the danger of morality and religion when they are hooked up with politics.

	Islam's Geopolitics as a Morality Tale: Jeffrey Sachs
		Many in the west believe that Islamic societies are hopelessly retrograde, stuck in 7th century idylls, and incapable of joining the modern world despite the impressive institutional and economic performance of countries ranging from Tunisia to Turkey to Malaysia, or more recent economic reforms in Egypt and Jordan.
		By misreading the decline of Islam as a morality story rather than one of demography and geopolitics, they fuel misunderstanding, condescension and bigotry.
		The small proportion of Islamic fundamentalists believe that internal cleansing of society will restore a golden age, not understanding that technology, demography and geopolitics have changed since the day when Islamic cities were the crown of global civilisation.

	All's Well That Ends Well Essays - All's Well That Ends Well as Fairy Tale and Morality Play
		These tales can be found in the early literature of cultures the world over and have two qualities in common: the cleverness and devotion of the woman sent by her husband to perform the tasks, and the husband's immediate acceptance of the fulfillment of the tasks as evidence of the wife's courage and love.
		It also reflects the point in morality plays when unredeemed man, burdened by sin and about to be carried off to the everlasting torments of hell, calls for mercy.
		However, unlike the characters in morality plays and fairy tales, Shakespeare's characters are realistic in their motivations and behavior.

	yax-341 When bar-top dancing turns into a morality tale
		We should all be acutely aware of our very own morality tale called Suzhou Industrial Park.
		Any way we look at it -- whether it’s a timid no-balls administration that can’t make any follow-up decisions, or a bureaucracy determined to undercut the minister’s new polices, or a government that was never sincere, not even about the peanuts of liberalisation they’ve had to give out -- it’s not a pretty picture.
		It may well be a new morality tale of how not to do something.

	Critique of morality tale
		This statement helps form the basis for Robert Reich's An American Morality Tale." A doctor of political economics, Reich is the author of several books dealing with the American culture and its ideology.
		Such books include "The Next American Frontier", and "Minding Americas Business." Throughout Reich's morality tale we are constantly bombarded by a single reoccurring image, the solitary America(n) striving to spread tranquility and justice wherever and to whomever may be in need of it.
		Reich opens his morality tale with a fable that embodies the "typical American" known as George.

	PoughkeepsieJournal.com - ‘Shark Tale’ mingles morality, mobsters and kid-friendly fun (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The ‘‘Shrek’’-meisters at DreamWorks are back — with ‘‘Shark Tale,’’ an amusing, computer-generated cartoon about life on a coral reef where the sharks are gangsters and every other sea creature tries to stay out of their way.
		(Most of the ‘‘Shark Tale’’ fish characters work at the Whale Wash, run by a conniving puffer fish, hilariously voiced by Martin Scorsese.) But while most of ‘‘Shrek’s’’ comic references to fairy tales were clear to youngsters, I suspect the target-audience kids won’t care much about mob flicks and an African-American movie classic.
		After all, ‘‘Shark Tale’’ is about an unlikely friendship, and any kid who’s ever wondered how to make new friends will be able to relate.

	CorpWatch : US: Enron Movie 'Ultimate Morality Tale' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Enron is a well-worn story of many things: accounting irregularities, energy deregulation, New Economy hysteria, and other matters that contributed to one of the largest bankruptcies in U.S. history.
		He means the human stories in what he calls "the ultimate morality tale" behind the gleaming veneer of the onetime gas pipeline company that, before its collapse, would swell -- along with its stock price -- into the country's seventh-largest corporation.
		The executives are heard hyping Enron's stock (even while they themselves were divesting), asserting the moral rectitude of their work (Enron is "on the side of the angels," Skilling says) and then, when things start falling apart, covering their backsides.

		In the West, the Yugoslav wars have became iconic symbols of both the transformed nature of war and conflict after the end of the Cold War, and of the moral imperative for new forms of Western intervention.
		From the early stages of the war in 1992, the Bosnian conflict was reported not as a conflict between two opposing sides, but as a conflict between good and evil, in which the Bosnian Serbs were initiating a campaign of genocide against the Bosnian Muslims.
		In the West, it was argued that the fall of Srebrenica represented irrefutable proof of the Bosnian Serbs' campaign of genocide.
