Abstract

This paper explores the correlation between morality and development. We introduce the concept of values, ethics and pro-social behaviors to clarify and delineate morality to more concrete and demotic terms. We underscore the significance of moral education in modern societies and economies after examining the interactions between morality and development in three different perspectives. The paper finishes by proposing potential solutions to debatable social and economic issues such as the provision of public goods and suggests pedagogical reform on moral education provided by the school and the parents.
