    Ethics Classification

    • Impermissible: wrong to do it and right not to do it
    • Permissible: ethically "neutral", neither right nor wrong to do
    • Supererogatory: actions that go "above and beyond the call of duty" (right to do, but not wrong not to do them)

    Ethics vs. Morals

    • Both ethics and morals refer to "right" and "wrong" behaviors, but they are different
    • Ethics refer to rules provided by an external source, such as a code of conduct

    • Mere obedience to the law or compliance
    • Ethics is not just following the law, but involves moral principles and values

    Religious vs. Moral Norms

    • Religious norms are characterized by the concept of sanctity, while moral norms are characterized by the concept of good
