Morality-or say Moral Values :
a) can be acquired through family and the
school during childhood through moral education-for day to day activities to
begin with
b) When grown up, individual acquires his/her own capability to
distinguish between Dos and Donts and gradually builds his/her
morality.

When a child is born, his/her brain is clean slate. There is no
evil. Good qualities may be there but these are to be energised through proper
guidance. Else child may follow wrong path gradually.

As an Example, I
remember, during my childhood I was taught in school- To pick up the stone
lying on the road/path lest any one falls after hitting the same.Don't hurt
any one as he/she may be in pain as you do etc. Similarly, at home respecting
elders and the younger ones, praying, learning good habits etc.

Hence
Morality can be Acquired and can be inborn(but need to be aroused).

In this fierce competition days, being moral responsible is a rare phenomenon.
But the whole world stands because of the fact that 80% of the active people
are 80% honest. In a way honesty is linked with morality. Morality is
basically coming from past samsakara and later on it can be acquired and
cultured. Devendra Popat.

I believe that morality is neither inborn nor acquired. Morality is an
attribute which is tested when you you resist something which is not right
according to your conscience when nobody is looking

Morality is a broad concept no one can define it properly.Example is a simple
an easiest way where one can understand the meaning of Morality. About your
question my opinion is Morality can be Acquired.we can take an Example of
Children, they learn respects, behavior through their environment or society.

In Kannada language there is one great line said by great person that is "
Maneye Modal Path Shale and Janani Tane Modal Guru" . That means our first
guru is our Mother. All children are compared to god. If u tell good things to
child it will take good things and vise versa.So it totally depends on
environment around the child.
