morals and moresstresses
gen. мораль и нравственность (Morals refers to how we SHOULD act and Mores (from Latin, the plural of Mos meaning custom) refers to how a society actually DOES act. Our Mores usually fall short of our Morals. For example, we SHOULD study the Catechism. Among MANY Catholic men, the Mores by which they actually live says, "Real men don't do that; that's for women", or, "I don't see any other men doing that; if I do it other men will think me odd". google.com Alexander Demidov)
