Ethics is a way of evaluating human actions based on a set of personal morals, values, and character. In latin - Ethos (character) & mores (character). If the person has ethics, they have good character. Ethics are not based on religion or law because what is illegal is not always unethical. Morals are judges based on how they effect the Ultimate Standard (human happiness, human good, and human well-being). Being ethical is our duty to each other as human beings. Ethics are individualistic.
