    The document defines ethics and morality from both a linguistic and applied perspective. Ethics is derived from the Greek word "ethos" meaning custom or habit, and is defined as the normative science that judges human conduct. Morality comes from the Latin word "mores" meaning customs, and is defined as a set of beliefs and practices for living a good life. The key difference between ethics and morality outlined is that ethics is the theory while morality is the practice. The document also discusses descriptive versus normative sciences, the sciences related to human conduct, and the different types and historical development of ethics.
