If the man has strong enough morals to overcome the immoral world he can definately maintain them.
Yes. Our sense of the word comes from Plato and Aristotle, who despised the Sophists of their day on the grounds that they used their skills to make the worse thing appear to be the better thing. Sophists incurred the loathing of all future generations for espousing the doctrine that might makes right. Amoral and Immoral are two different things. To be immoral means you are knowingly without morals, you are going against a moral code belonging to the society to which you are part. To be amoral means to have no understanding of any moral code, you are without morals. A child may steal because they have no understanding or education that it is wrong to do so (amoral), an adult who belongs to a society with a moral code and knowingly steals is immoral. The Sophists were amoral within their own society so cannot be considered immoral, although they may have appeared so to people from a different society.
Feeling the fear of failing someone or being scared/threatened can cause someone to violate their moral codes, as to situations with no wiggle room and high stakes, such as the need to feed their family and survive.
A moral code is a code of conduct that people live by. Someone with morals will know right from wrong.
Immoral, referring to conduct, applies to one who acts contrary to or does not obey or conform to standards of morality; it may also mean licentious and perhaps dissipated. ... Immoral, amoral, nonmoral, and unmoral are sometimes confused with one another. Immoral means not moral and connotes evil or licentious behavior.
Christians have a moral code that is based on the 10 Commandments that were given to Moses on Mount Sinai - there are good Christians and bad ones, but most Christians know when they are being bad, because they have been taught that they should be good.
The Moral Code
there are no codes right now
A moral code?

Do unto others as you would have done unto you is an example of a moral code.
Adultry is not illegal in most jurisdictions. It may be immoral, but most parts of the world have removed it from the criminal code.
Your question is very confusing; i will do my best. Morally, many religions are against intoxicating products (although this is very, very debatable.) With this, most families are religious, and modern religions are very anti (illegal) drugs. Honestly, I have no idea how to answer your question. Ultimately morality is individuality, and thus can not be determined into a moral code universally. Perhaps it is because people find breaking the law immoral, so illegal drugs are immoral. Why are prescription drugs with worse effects alright and not marijuana? Legality. That's all it is.
