Fundamental Definitions
- Morality: Derived from Latin "mores" (meaning customs), it's the science of good and evil. Morality includes values and rules that guide individual and societal actions, emphasizing good behavior and avoiding evil
- Ethics: Derived from the Greek "ethos", it's a branch of philosophy that studies moral norms and their foundations. It seeks to define right and wrong to achieve a better society and human well-being
- Deontology: From Greek "deontos" (meaning duty), it's a set of rules and regulations adopted by professional bodies. This aspect focuses on duties, obligations, and acceptable professional conduct. It dictates what must be done
- Right: Unlike morality or ethics, law defines what's permitted or forbidden by authority, without judging actions as inherently good or bad
