Joseph represents one of these: the conventional, institutionalised notion of morality based on religion and the word of the bible. From Catherine’s point of view, this sort of morality is seen as restrictive and forceful. Joseph regularly tells young Catherine and Heathcliff to ‘think o' [their] sowls’, as they giggle and have fun during bible readings. Aside from this, the first we hear from Catherine is the words etched into her bible about the days she has spent with Heathcliff. This shows a disregard for religion and a fixation with the moors and her relationship with Heathcliff which is of greater importance to her than conventional morality, and shows how she does not seem to abide by society’s Christian values.
Harper Lee shows the racist social values that most of the inhabitants of Maycomb County follow are one of the factors that cause Atticus Finch’s defense to fail. In Maycomb, hating black people is a never-ending trend. Even though almost everyone follows it, Atticus does not. He is one of the only characters in the novel that has good social values and does not judge one by his or her skin colour.

There was a time when Walter ‘Walt’ White carefully considered his decision to kill someone by writing down a list of pros and cons. He even shed tears and constantly apologized after killing Krazy 8 out of self-preservation. These are the events that take place within the first three episodes of Breaking Bad.

Movies and TV shows have been portraying Christians as judgmental, mindless, know-it-alls for years. Cartoons like Family Guy, The Simpsons, and South Park, have depicted Christians as ignorant and condemning. Our culture recognizes wisdom and love as virtuous, but in view of the media’s portrayal of Christians, it is safe to assume that believers are not up to par on either of these things. Believers need to reexamine what it means to love God with all their mind and in doing so love others. Believers practicing loving God with all their mind would be a witness to this world and even a way of reaching out in compassion and gentleness we have left behind by burying our arguments in our Bibles and not engaging the questions raised by the lost.

Fashion is another venomous thing,nauseating morality and uprooting the austeriry.It is promoting extravagancy and misuse of the wealth that are very immoral things. Modernity in all its forms,whether in the shape of modern devices or fashion has been proved to be the demise of morality due to its detrimental outcomes.
