How moral standards are shaped by communities, activated, and influence our sense of self are all questions for a social psychology of morality. Conscience involves the drawing of Bright Lines and attraction to Bright Lights, morality’s positive and negative aspects shaped by social forces.

Some people will feel that their impulses reflect their true desires, while others view those impulses as temptations that must be overcome. The same person might treat one system with priority only in certain situations.
