Sorry, I don't know what morality is. I thought we were talking about "morality". Taboo your words.

Ok, I like "ordered list of (abstract concepts people use to make decisions)."

I reiterate my points above: When people say a decision is better, they mean the decision was more consistent with their list than alternative decisions. When people disagree about how to make a choice, the conflict resolution procedure each side prefers is also determined by their list.
