I am not sure I can accept your definition of "morals" as stated... Do you believe it is impossible for someone to have personal morals that were not developed by "the society"?
Sorry, but this video is completely confusing manners with moral and vice versa. Its distinction between moral and ethics is also not quite right for that reason. It is to hope that the statements and definitions made in it are tought nowhere. Here are better definitions (and by better I mean that they are far more compatible with how the words are used on average around the globe or at least within western, modern civilisations): - Moral = the emotional judgement of any action by any person. - Ethics = the rules a person follows on how to act based on a rational held by that same person. Preferrebly ethical rules are compatible to the moral judgement. - Manners = the common agreement of a group on how a to act as an individual member of that group towards other members of that group. (Manners will be translated into laws by some form of process whenever groups grow so large that the number of members individuals know and are in contact with on a regular basis falls under a certain percentage of the total number of members the group is made of. This is because of the shrinking contacts with the rising number of members in a group, the synchronization of what ethics make it into the manners cannot be carried out anymore to a sufficient level to make the group function.) Thus: Manners are the shared and accepted ethics within a group. The more of an agreement between personal ethics and group demanded manners, the more the individual might prefer to stay in the group. Less agreement will lead to the individual acting in conflict with the group and/or the group suppressing the individual. Lets highlight again, that the above definitions make clear, that manners come from the group, whilst moral and ethics are something based strongly on the character of the individual, which can only be influenced by the group in a very limitted way mostly during the early childhood. This is especcially important to that new members born into the group have in reverse ever more little influence on the group manners on an individual basis the larger the group becomes. In early days of humanity, leaving a group and starting a new one used to be a valid option, but nowadays all of this planets surface is allready taken by countries. The options left are very limitted, mostly to leaving your country of origin and finding one that better suits your ethics.
