Ethics and Moral Philosophy

Ethics is the branch of philosophy that deals with moral principles and values that guide human behavior and decision-making.
Ethics is concerned with distinguishing right from wrong, good from bad, and moral from immoral.
The word "ethics" is derived from the Greek word "ethos", which means character or custom.
Moral philosophy is another term for ethics, which involves the study of moral values, principles, and rules that govern human conduct.
Moral standards are based on principles of right and wrong, whereas non-moral standards are based on principles of convenience, efficiency, or personal preference.
The main focus of ethics is to determine what is morally right and wrong, and to develop moral principles and values that guide human behavior.
Ethics is not just about following rules or conventions, but about making informed decisions that are morally justifiable.
