Someone told me that countries are becoming “less moral” and I have no idea what to do with that opinion, because I don’t know what it is they mean with “morals”. So what do morals mean to you?

It isn’t meaningless. Morality is a quite concrete set of rules. Yes, this set is different from one society to another. From one time to another. From one individual to another too but to a lesser extent.
You mean different rules for every person.
I haven’t met a single person who’s morals are concrete. Everyone’s morals have flexibility, and change over time. Morals are fluid concepts that change in response to a myriad of factors. I doubt you know anyone who hasn’t changed moral stances on things throughout their lives, or doesn’t believe there are contextual exceptions to morals.
Please list the concrete rules, I’m genuinely curious.
This is only true if you believe in the morality of just one thing. Like the morality of the Catholic church vs the morality of any other religion.
Morality is subjective. You may be confusing it with ethics. Morals are your own sense of right and wrong, while ethics are codified. And even ethics will vary from organization to organization.
