Someone told me that countries are becoming "less moral" and I have no idea what to do with that opinion, because I don't know what it is they mean with "morals". So what do morals mean to you?

I haven't met a single person who's morals are concrete. Everyone's morals have flexibility, and change over time. Morals are fluid concepts that change in response to a myriad of factors. I doubt you know anyone who hasn't changed moral stances on things throughout their lives, or doesn't believe there are contextual exceptions to morals.
