Moral Conscience
Well, moral conscience is that little voice deep within expressing what is right or wrong. You know, those "little guys, or girls" that sit on your shoulders. One is good and the other not so much. In most cases, we learn about morality during our younger years. Most times values are obtained through our parents. If you have a moral conscience, you'll know. You get a feeling of joy when you make good decisions and a sense of guilt if poor resolutions are reached.
