I think about this quite a bit but more in relation to my kids.
I wonder about what effect I am having on shaping my kid's sense of what is right and wrong. What other events and experiences are effecting them as well.
The extension of this is, naturally, what were the influences on me that make the way I am to impart this upon my kids.
I am not sure I have a single person or text to which I can point. Sure I can say my Mom or whatever, but when it comes down to it our "moral code" (for lack of a better term) is the sum of experiences.
The more experience the more nuanced we get in our "code".
