Answer:

"A moral standard refers to the norms which we have about the types of actions which we believe to be morally acceptable and morally unacceptable. Specifically, moral standards deal with matters which can either seriously harm or seriously benefit human beings."

Step-by-step explanation:

"The moral standards thus derived are identified as (1) honesty in communication, (2) fair treatment, (3) special consideration, (4) fair competition, (5) organizational responsibility, (6) corporate social responsibility, and, (7) respect for law."

"While morals tend to be driven by personal beliefs and values, there are certainly some common morals that most people agree on, such as:

Always tell the truth.

Do not destroy property.

Have courage.

Keep your promises.

Do not cheat.

Treat others as you want to be treated.

Do not judge.

Be dependable."

"A high moral standard demands that one is constantly listening to that internal voice which, if you listen, always tells us what is wrong and what is right, and acting upon the instructions it gives you. ... High moral standards are where you always do what you think is right, not what you can get away with."

Hope this helps! Have a High Moral standard!
