more or less moral?
This does not compute.

Try: have morals changed?

It's hard to quantify
but I would say I have a reading of 6.8 on the moral thermometer.

I think I get it.
maybe are people more motivated by morals than they were 100 years ago, in which case I would say less morally driven.

It all depends on where you get your morals from
you might get them from religion, in which case, I would venture that, particularly in the west, that less people base their morals on religion now than did then.

Or you could be a relativist, and have no basis for morals other than what you think is right or wrong.

I could go on. But I won't.

The interesting question is are we less virtuous than before?

The question is intrisically flawed
I'm not being pedantic.

Wrong
more or fewer people could behave in a way according to an ethical framework, or purely from opportunistic self-interest, or irrationally.

the same, morality is not a sliding scale
it is merely a field on which you may occupy a different position.

People these days are less rule-based.
There's less respect for law and authority. But that's not the same as morality.

So I don't think people are any more or less moral than they used to be, they're just not so rigid in their application of it.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:46, archived)

You can't get a proper answer to this
as morality changes. Whether someone is deemed as 'moral' depends on society's definition of morality at that exact point in time.
