[QUOTE="Prettyboy92, post: 3263120, member: 136705"] Absolutely. But I'd hope I'd still be honest enough to admit that when I became aware of how others act and say "Yeah...those people are doing things better than we are...we should probably learn from that". Moral progress was slow in the past because communication, awareness of others and the desire to actually be morally better was poor. Moral advances are speeding up as the advances taken in one direction inform in another (equal rights for women and ethnic minorities became a move for equal rights for gay people for example). How other people live in the world is much more knowable. People can see how others do things and evaluate if they could change their ways. [/QUOTE]
