Subject: the word "more" in plural gen.
Hello,
How would you translate the following sentence with the word "mores". The text is about moral values, about religion and ethics.:

"Thou shalt not commit adultery" is a moral absolute. It does not depend on your feelings, or social mores or consequences.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

it has nothing to do with "more" in plural
mores=the customs and conventions embodying the fundamental values of a group or society

как ещё Цицерон возмущался: "O tempora, o mores!" :-)
