I am referring to the imposition of morality in the mind, i.e. making somone believe that it is wrong to kill another human being via church, school, family, etc. Negative social consequences may condition individuals to act certain ways, but that is not what I am talking about.
I tend to think that certain "morals" are actually inherent desires of individuals, whereas others (think "homosexuals are bad") are forced.
Morality is nothing but action preferences anyway.
