The evaluation of the moral values of high school students in terms of the Kalam (The case of Diyarbakır)

Morality has been an indispensable component in terms of the order of societies and the felicity of individuals, both worldly and otherworldly, throughout the history of humanity. Despite the fact it does not have a disciplinary structure, it is accepted that there are some moral values in the theoretical sense. We can see that there are disparate moral understandings and value areas in today's world and in the society that we live in. It is observed that specifically the moral attitudes of our young people are moving away from the moral understanding shaped by the beliefs, traditions, and customs of the society we live in because of some external factors. In this study, the moral understanding of high school youth was compared according to the types of school they were educated, and it was investigated to what extent the education they received was applied in practice. Accompanying, the answers given to the interview questions prepared to analyse the moral understanding of young people are evaluated according to the science of Kalam.
