Socrates said that "a system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true." how would you apply the meaning of this phrase to today’s moral standards?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I could apply Socarte's ideas in today's world, as follows.

Socrates said: "A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true."

A moral system of values in today's world should be the kind of consistent and valid moral values that must be followed by people on all occasions, not only when it is good for them or their interests. Ethics and moral values are written in stone and should be applied by virtuous people in every moment, although it means to expose some or something. High morale means firm and untainted conduct that serves as an example of leadership under any kind of circumstances.
