The moral concepts have been investigated as the universal generally accepted human values.

In the course of analysis the author separated the elements the concept "morality", such as good, goodness, responsibility, code of conduct, love, patience etc. It has been established that in the English linguoculture, "morality" is associated with such behaviour and traits as compliance to the norms of behaviour and law, love, patience, awareness, dignity and honesty. The associative components of the specified moral qualities included reliability, will, dignity, decency, benevolence.
