It was found that in general, there showed a lack a sense of solidarity among others, a lack sense of help and respect. The elderly in this study informed that they developed such feelings that they are too close to the people in the orphanage compared to their family members. However, the moral feeling of the elderly has shown a good relationship between values and ethics (morals), where the elderly were able to take responsibility, feel guilty when violating norms, and feel at ease when obeying norms.
