Yes if you take a look around clearly morality is declining at a rapid rate. Right after the super storm Sandy people started looting, they were riding around in boats in the cover of darkness stealing stuff, hurting people, and vandalizing. That is just one of many cases of morality declining in this country. Side: Yes

If you look at per captia crime rates in the US here http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/ If you take out all the "contentious" moral issues and stick to say "beating your spouse is morally wrong" or "judging someone by the color of their skin is morally wrong" then I would say morality is NOT on the decline. If you include contentious issues like "premarital sex is morally wrong" then you could say that at least some peoples definition or morality is on the decline. But, the main reason those contentions moral issues are on the decline is because more people just don't believe it's morally wrong anymore. Side: No
