2. Ethics(or morals) are rules for distinguishing between right and wrong
Golden Rule (“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”)
Ethics- “norms for conduct” that distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour

3. Most people learn it at home, school or social setting
Moral development occurs throughout the life
Ethical norms are so ubiquitous that one might be tempted to regard them as simple commonsense
On the other hand, if morality were nothing more than commonsense, then why are there so many ethical disputes and issues in our society?

4. All people recognize some common ethical norms
But different individuals interpret, apply and balance these norms in different ways
In light of their own values and life experiences

5. Another way of defining ethics focuses on the disciple of study standards of conduct, such as philosophy, theology, law, psychology , sociology or computer science.
Example: a medical ethicist is someone who studies ethical standards in medicine

6. One may also define ethics as a method, procedure, or perspective for deciding how to act and for analyzing complex problems and issues
For instance, in considering a complex issue like global warming, one may take an economic, ecological, political or ethical perspective on the problem.
While economist might examine the cost and benefits of various policies related to global warming, an environmental ethicist should examine the ethical values and principles at stake

7. Many different disciplines, institutions and professionals have norms for behavior that suits their particular aims and goal
Ethical norms also serve the aims or goals of research and apply to people who conduct scientific research or other scholar or creative activities.
There is even a specialized discipline, research ethics, which studies these norms
