Popular opinion changes faster and more often than morality, but it > certainly influences it. Morality has never been changed and it never will be changed. What is legal and what is illegal varies from country to country. Also the standards of behavior that are socially acceptable may vary from country to country and they may change from time to time. Popular opinion has a very strong influence on behavior, but it has no influence whatsoever on morality. Socially acceptable behavior is not necessarily morally upright behavior.
