This article is about the development of morality on a societal scale. For the development of morality in individuals, see Moral development.
Moral progress refers to improvement in concepts such as moral beliefs and practices experienced on a societal scale.[1] Michele Moody-Adams noted that "moral progress in belief involves deepening our grasp of existing moral concepts, while moral progress in practices involves realizing deepened moral understandings in behavior or social institutions".[2]
