Hey, folks. Today in one of my academic classes in school, we (class) were presented with an interesting question that I would like to share with you. It has simplistic roots, but it can be a thought-provoking question to those who allow their minds to ponder the realms of imagination. There is no true right-or-wrong answer, as it is practically an opinionated question. Without further ado, the question:

"What is morality, and who defines it?"

I'd just like to hear your voices regarding the aforementioned question. As for myself, I will share my lengthy, opinion-driven essay tomorrow; it is quite late, and I am typing this on a mobile device, and my typing capabilities are impaired.
