She's a good girl

When I was growing up if you said that someone was a good girl you generally meant that she was morally pure.  However, that has changed today.  When you say today that she is a good girl you generally refer to the fact that she eats right, exercises and generally takes good care of her body.  In the past the emphasis was upon character and purity while today it is different.
I used the example of a good girl but in general that refers to all humanity.  Our concept of goodness has changed but does that really mean we are good?  Just thinking.
