Summary/Abstract: Existing in times prevailing and over passing the modernity, human beings are, among many other things, constantly in a process of altering postulates of spiritual substance. The time of postmodernism has come and created even bigger “headache” to the social sciences, due to the weight of interpretation itself and due to the complexity of grasping the meaning. In time of fast and intensive communication, increased confusion and quasi freedom, post modernity and globalization, as two controversial notions, existential characteristics of our time, affect our morality as well as our value system as a whole. These processes affect our overall behavior and relations we maintain, by changing our hobbits, nature and opinions. This article deals with the position of morality at present, aiming to encourage the reader to think about these issues closer. It is strongly felt that an erosion of morality is taking place in the global community, therefore this is a good opportunity to recall the problems, identify them as the first step in overcoming them. Without being pretentious to reaching final solutions, the anatomy of modern morality is headed mainly toward its description.
