For society to continue to progress, I believe the concepts of morality and
             truth must be examined and re-infused into society. Morality and truth are
             the most crucial component of being a decent human being, and without such
             aspects of humanity, society would crumble. In some respects, society is
             already crumbling under the weight of an excessive lack of morality and
             common human decency. Morality and truth have been defined since the
             beginning of time. Idealists such as Plato defined morality in a

             regarding anything reflects upon what truths this person believes to be
             real. A decision is merely in essence the course of action one selects.
             Plato would also observe however, that some decisions lie in a person's
