Basic social norms. Do they really have anything to do with goodness? Not likely. They seem to have everything to do with orderliness. Is that your "good"? (When I say your, I do not mean you, whoever you are, I mean "your" generally, I put this in for those who might not be able to understand that on their own, whoever those people might be, and where ever they may be) If order is your "good", then I suppose social norms are "moral"- but only in the most relative sense. When do you know the social norm is not moral? IMO that is a bitter question, and an unsolvable one. There will always be conflict between people who want to look internally for guidance, and people who want to follow social norms. I do not see how the two opposite positions can be reconciled.
