Morals are a set of beliefs or guidelines that people follow based on their culture or society. Morals are almost always different for individuals because morals are based on an individual's interpretation of what's good. In the legalist spirit, the difference between morals and law is reflected .On one hand, one should not regard law as some-thing superior and should not make use of some behaviour beyond the power of law to degrade social morals. On the other hand, we should not look upon morals as something superior, so as to blur the boundary between crime and non-crime with the effect that criminals are forgiven. What is most important for research into the difference between morals and law lies in discovering a way of applying their mutual action. The mutual action of morality and law can be elucidated in an aspect. Firstly, the moral norm can be used to defend law and to keep it stable, authentic and perduring. For instance, any behaviour forbidden by law, such as betrayal of one's motherland, em-bezzlement and robbery, can be viewed as an immoral, illegitimate and ignominious act. A criminal act often starts from an immoral one and progresses from a breach of a moral norm to breach a legal norm: hence, morals can prevent acts forbidden by law. Secondly, the legal norm has coercive power to maintain and carry out moral norms. Moral norms have far broader effect than legal norms because the moral has an imperceptible influence on human behaviour which transcends the law.Keywords

Democratic socialism prefers evolutionary or democratic method. The supporters of democratic socialism pay equal importance to democracy and socialism. They believe that the goals of democracy and socialism are not separable from each other, both stands for the amelioration of the ordinary man. In effect, democratic socialism signifies use of the democratic method for achieving the socialist goal. It is a description used by various socialist movements and organizations, to emphasize the democratic character of their political orientation. Democratic socialists have normally defended the role of the public sector, particularly as regards the provision of key services such as health care, education, utilities, mass transit, and sometimes also banking, mining, and fuel extraction. In India, democratic socialists have to varying degrees seen the traditional village-based peasant economy as a model to be supported and enhanced. Social Democracy was most fully developed in the early post-1945 period, during which enthusiasm for social-democratic ideas and theories extended well beyond its socialist homeland, creating, in many western states, a social-democratic consensus. However, since the 1970s and 1980s social democracy has struggled to retain its political relevance in the face of the advance of neo liberalism and changed economic and social circumstances.Keywords
