It could be. It’s such a vague term that it can cover pretty much anything you want, for the purposes of a particular discussion. It’s usually in the realms of codes of conduct; but when studying the phenomena within an individual, feelings regarding different issues can provide a baseline for morality. The former is often called ethics.
I think this a very interesting point, really. We all have raw, emotional reactions to things which "tell us" how to view them. But we’ve since developed past the point of needing to make fight/flight decisions; so we can now have meta-morality, where we study our own feelings, and decide whether they hold any logical validity. For example, I have had emotional reactions to people before based on nothing more than ridiculous stereotypes. I’m aware that this is where the feeling is coming from, so I disregard it as much as possible in the absence of any actual evidence for concern.
