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?
I heart Aristotle.

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.
